Looking to do the power wire upgrade to my TS500 and to my recently acquired TS Sweet Sixteen but my junker “gun” style soldering iron isn’t going to cut it. Any recommendations on what to get? I’m assuming something around 60w with a variable setting and changeable tips.

I'm looking to add a fan over the heat sink on my TS 500v and was looking to see if anyone here had a particular fan model number that has been used for this application already? Also where did you tap in for the 12v power? I will probably mount it using the plastic dry wall anchor method. Thanks!

I recently purchased a 2013 4x4 F150 EcoBoost and I must say it's a completely different animal when compared to my 1999 compound turbo Ram 2500. With that being said is there anything to worry about when running fairly large amps in these new trucks? I've got a TS500v that I'd like to put in it...

Found a 148 GTL on Craigs list, but it's listed with some other equipment and has no price. I texted the guy about it and he said it's all stock and in excellent condition. What are they worth? I saw a slightly modified one in the classifieds for 100 bucks shipped, so I'm assuming this one would...

I'm looking for a 4' or 5' antenna to use in place of my whip because I can't use my whip all the time. Any recommendations? I'm running a TS500 so it needs to have the ability to hold some watts. K40 4' super flex? Firestick? or all they just about the same?

What do y'all recommend for a newly liscened technician as a first radio that is reasonable in price? Mobile and/or base radio that is. I'm studying for my tech test but was wondering what radios to look at. Thanks for the help

I need a power supply to run my RM Italy 203p and my Galaxy 959. The Amp is rated at 10 watts and has 12 watt fuse the radio probably pulls around 4 amps. Now with that being said I'd like to get a power supply that could handle a larger Amp or a bigger radio such as a RCI 2970n2. I know...

Has anyone here done something like this or similar? I've got two 5' Wilson silver loads that I could try this with but this is different than the other dipoles I've seen as far as how the coax is connected to the antenna. A Stealthy Homebrew Vertical Dipole Antenna Using Mobile CB Antennas

First over the seas contact for me this morning in the mobile! Scotland was rolling in left and right on 38LSB. I was able to make two confirmed contacts with Scotland and 1 to England. I was on my way to work and I didn't want to leave the truck! Before I got out of the truck there were two...

Picked up a 959 Galaxy for 130 bucks and a RM Italy 203p on my vacation this weekend. I got the radio for 130 and the amp for 40. Both units are brand spanking new. The Galaxy still has the plastic on top. How do y'all think I did? Good deal or bad?

Just found an old Sears RoadTalker 40 SSB Mobile that was in a closet at my parents house back in Georgia. It works, but cosmetically it looks ruff. Has a Realistic desk power mic. Hooked it up to my old di pole antenna in the attic and it still works. Channel knob is a little funny, but got a...

Well my Wilson Silverload took a dump. Not sure what happened, but my meter was showing some funny stuff when keying down so I traced it down to the antenna. Put the multimeter on the antenna base then to the "grounding wire" on the antenna and I get a buzzer goes off. I thought my coax and...
