    Magnum S-9 CB Radio Repair Shops

    I am looking for a CB radio repair shop that can work on a Magnum S-9. I have an Magnum S-9 and when you first turn it on it goes from 27.185 to 24.440 until it warms up a bit and then it goes back to 27.185. Every now and then for the first 30 minutes to an hour if the truck leans to the right...

    Running Moblie

    I have a Magnum S9 that I am planning on using in a Peterbilt Daycab truck. I've used the Wislon 1000 and the 5000 trucker mirror mount antennas before. This time around I want to use an 102" whip and from what I can understand is that I'll probably have to use a spring or some kind of an...

    What is the Best Base Antenna?

    I know that it's probably been asked before but I want to know just what is the Best Base Antenna to be used with a Galaxy DX 2547 Base Station and maybe a Linear if I need one? Or maybe I'll just use a Magnum S-9 with the RX-75 installed as a base. Either way I need to know what the Best Base...

    Mag Mount Placement

    I'm going to use a Sirio 5000 antenna along with a magnet mount from a Wilson 5000. My question is where would be the best place to put it on top of my '03 Silverado extended cab? In the middle of the cab, towards the back of the cab, or does it matter where? And one more question is the magnet...

    A Quick Fix?

    I have an Magnum S-9 and it was mounted in a Peterbilt truck that I drove. Well I also used a gear keeper on the mic, well where it was mounted it let the mic swing back and fourth in front of the radio. I din't notice it at first but it was hitting the volume/squelch knob every now and then...

    Alternator Whine

    What or is the best In-Line Noise Suppressor that I could use to get the alternator whine from my Magnum S-9. I drive an '06 Peterbilt and when the alt. starts charging you can't hear nothing.

I bought it from a buddy of mine a few years back, who used it a time or two then lost his job and needed the money, I was planning on using it but never got around to it so it's been sitting in my closet.

    Antenna Conversion

    I have what I think is a Sirio P5000 antenna with a connector on the bottom that looks like a Wilson 5000 mag mount after you screw the coil off, if this makes any sense. What I need to know is what parts do I need to convert it over to a regular antenna connector?

    Another 102 Whip Questions

    I drive an 2000 Peterbilt with the 73" uni-sleeper on it. I was thinking of mounting a 102" whip on one of the grab handles mounted on back of the sleeper. Since the sleeper is made of mostly aluminum I know that I have to run a ground wire from the frame up to the antenna bracket. Now here are...

    A Magnum Question

    I know that the Magnum S-9's are on there way out the door. I have come across some of these still for sale. My question is, Is there really that much of a difference between the regular 50 watt S-9 and the 80 watt S-980? What I'm trying to say is, Is it worth paying the extra $70 for 30 more...

    Theft Proofing?

    Last week, some idiot who thought that they needed my Magnum S-9 more than I did, stole it right out of 2000 Peterbilt. Is there some way to secure the radio to the mount so that they just can't remove it when they get the urge to take what ain't theirs because they're low on pills or cash...
