Been wanting to get a RCI 2950 DX for some time. I ordered one from H&Y and it came fairly quick and the "E-chip" was in the box. JFYI Copper had a cheaper price but with shipping, H&Y was a few cents less. :) I temporarily hooked it up last night to try it out. When i was screwing in the coax...

Family just found a quarter wave VHF antenna (NMO) I bought several years ago for a fire department radio. I couldn't get that radio programmed so the antenna and coax sat up for a WHILE. I already have an antenna for my two meter radio and have thought about using the old quarter wave VHF for...

Does any one know if it's normal for the heatsinked transistor for the power supply, in the radio, to get very warm to the touch. Just got the radio, was cleaning it up and checking over everything when I noticed it. It gets warm soon after the radio is turned on rather or not it's in TX or RX...

I was looking for some info on the web last night for some adjustment info on my 89 XLR. The only thing I could find on it was the "power" and "modulation" mods (clipped limiter). The previous owner(s) apparently did those mods and it wasn't what I was looking for. When I got the radio it...

I just installed a Kenwood TM 281A radio in my Dodge Ram club cab. I all ready had a Galaxy DX949 CB in the truck. The CB's antenna is an 102" whip mounted on the driver's side behind the cab. The Antenna for the 2 meter radio is a 5/8th wave Laird mounted in the center of the cab with a NMO and...

Seen this on another forum. I'm starting wonder if he's joking. :D "We did have a lot of rain yesterday and my best guess is that the rain saturated the ground and my three ground rods got plugged into the underground liquid linear below the house (earth saturated with seawater). The only...

A coworker had a couple of Radio Shack BTX-122 radios he was willing to let go for about $15. He let me take them home yesterday to try them out and see what information I could find on them. Both radios will power up but the PTT button on one works when it wants to work. However both radios'...

About two weeks ago I checked the SWR on my radio and was pegging out. I later cleaned the double threaded bolt that connects the Wilson Gum Drop Stud to the spring. Checked the SWR again and everything appeared to be working fine again. I checked it again yesterday and noticed the SWR...

If I was to mount antennas for two different base CB radios what would be the ideal distance (if any) between or separation between the two antennas? All though I'm not running any extra power now but I may want to, some time in the future on one of the radios. As of right now the radios have...
