We do not use AM, FM is the regular in Europe. For SSB the amp has served well for many years with 20w peak power in giving 100-120 w peak out. For DX SSB work the conversation don't last that long. A "talker" on the superbowl would probably not have this combination with AM and see the 203 last...

The only thing I found a bit annoying with the Optima is the noise of the fan so i modified the radio some. I made the fan run all the time tx/rx at half of the speed in stead of high speed only tx with delay turn off. In addition I put a switch to the side of the radio so it can be turned off...

Both of the mentioned radios are fine quality. I would go with the one appealing most personally. I have both and use the 2950DX in the shack with ext speaker and RM 203 for SSB work. The Optima I use barefoot in my car and in xpeditions. The optima has no channel configuration as the 2950dx...

Looks like a really rugged built 5/8 wave antenna with excessive ground plane radials and not to mention the massive top hat. Slightly different impedance matching design than I have seen on others like Sigma Mantovas etc. Nothing feels better than a well built aluminum antenna. Some thoughts...

Its been a while since i have been reading theese forums. I see CDX callsigns have now become WDX. I will change to 20WDX110.

I have been logging several stations from USA and Canada this weekend from the west coast of Norway. Have to start using 20CDX110 more. Several years since i have had cdx contacts

I will be DX`ìng for other CDX stations 23.09.09 time 0900-1400 UTC. Freq: 27.570 mode: USB. Hope to QSO some of you forum members.

Im aware of the paint under the magnet mount, i hook of the mount and wax/polish the roof/paint every 2 weeks. Dont take any chances with rust even though the Subarus are galvanised:-)

Have someone tested the difference in performance between wilson 5000 mounted in chassie vs magnet mount. I just hesitate a little drilling holes in my 90.000$ car. I have been running wilson little wil for a while and want a little more reach. I have a 102 also but then its back to drilling...

We have a joke in Norway theese days. What do you call a person who dont get the swineflu?............Luckypig.......Luckypig is an expression of a very lucky person in Norway:-)

There are more people dying of ammonia, regular flu and getting cold, as soon as they combine any animal specie with the flu media and the whole world starts screaming:-)

Ill double this, i have 3 of the 29s, 50dx, 70dx, 95dx. Happy with them but after using my new Icom 7400(746) they are not the same. RX is a different world with DSP. 5 minutes with a soldering iron and you have a good rig from 0.15-60mhz with the IC-718. The difference in price arent that huge...

Thank you for nice qso to you to, hope to catch you again on the airways. Didnt know you were a member here before i got a mail from you trough the forum. I havent been here for a long time on regular basis, but ill pick it up again. 73`s from Vidar 20CB110

Hello DTB This is also a standard Final in many european CEPT PR 27 radios. 40Channels 4w FM And some AM/FM. Usually tuned 4w deadkey FM and peak 4w AM. I have managed to tune some of the radios 5.3w deadkey and swinging 7-8w still having fine undistorted audio. But this Radios come original...

In Europe we also have some repeaters which opens at 10meter in FM mode. Some thimes it is better range of FM than AM, it depends on the conditions. If you run 50w FM on a flat countryside you cant say its short range communnication. On 1w FM mode with a good antennasystem and good positions...

Congrats you lucky.....................,anyway here is the info you need. www.radiomods.co.nz/kenwood/kenwoodts50.html

The 2sc2078 is a final often used for final in a lot of standard CB`s especially those FM only. Its generally rated 4W at 12v but varies from 3.5-4.5 from brand to brand.

Very good modulation and sharp sound but not so good at receive as Lincoln/Ranger. Not that sensitive.

In Norway we are only allowed to use FM mode with a maximum power of 4w. We need really good and sensitive receive to copy far away stations. My best for Fm is 2950dx/2995dx with a sadelta echomaster plus classic mic. As you can see i dont follow the norwegian regulations but thats because my...

If you occupie 3 channels over and under your working channel it has nothing to do with Radiocommunication, we need to have respect for other operating near our working freq also. Loud is for me as loud as it gets without inerfering nearby channels :)
