    What size 220 service for SB-220

    I will be running the wire for 220 service to my shack, and was wondering what size breaker and wire to get. How many amps will the Heathkit SB-220 pull? Any info on getting the electric service ready is appreciated.

    Highpowered Diesel Truck

    What are you doing to keep the RF out of everything. I have an S9 into 2x2290's into 8x2879's and a very well grounded system, and I have some RF issues. This is in a 2003 F350 SD CC with the 7.3

    Hand Held CB's

    I agree, mine does not work well inside a vehicle with any of the 3 different antennas, unless you get them up and out of the vehicle. I can stick the antenna up through the sunroof and hear all kind of chatter, but pull it back down inside and onle the very closest units are heard.

    Hand Held CB's

    I recently bought one of the telescopic Maxon antenna's from Bill's. Just send him an e-mail, he will reply. Paid with paypal and recieved it in about 4 days. It makes a HUGE difference on my Cherokee AH-100. I also have the short and long flexible antenna's and the telescopic is the...

    k40 antenna's

    I ran my S9 and a 4x1446 box into mine for years with no problems. The mag mount did mess up the paint, so I roof mounted it. Never had a single issue with the capacitor, and swr was always low. I have them on 4 of the company trucks, roof mounted and they all have 2x1446 boxes into them...

    AVOID THIS PLACE>>"No More"

    I also had major issues with him back about 18 months ago. Heard all the excuses, had to get ebay and paypal involved. Eventually it got worked out, not through him, but through his supplier. He did give me the contact info for the supplier though. Shady at best, I will not buy from them...

    Wilson 5000 question

    I ran a mag mount for over a year on my F350 CC Longbed with no problems, except rust (my fault for not cleaning enough). I now have a Wilson 5000 drilled through the roof between the ridges and in the center. SWR is 1.2:1, radio is Magnum S9 into 2x2290's into 8x2879's, and everything works...

    D&A PDX-400

    Tried out the instructions reguarding two peaks. There are 2 distinct peaks on the knobs as told. Following this lead.....I tuned up using the higher of the 2 peaks on each dial. This gained me an additional 175 watt to 500 on high.

    D&A PDX-400

    OK....I put it inline with the Cobra 2000. Radio dk is 3 watts, swinging to 15. On high I'm seeing 325 watts, and on low I'm seeing 150 watts. The amp seems to work fine on SSB with good reports from locals that I talk to on a regular basis Does this sound OK to those participating in...

    D&A PDX-400

    Will I have to do anything special to the D&A to be able to use it on SSB? I had someone on this site explain the "tune up", before use procedure, but was wondering if the amp is good to go on AM and SSB. I guess I could just give it a go and see what happens.

    D&A PDX-400

    The S9 thing was just a thought. I have never owned/used one of these tube amps, and figured, here is the place to ask! I also have a very nice Cobra 2000 on the desk. How about that one with the D&A? I have a Kris Mach 3B, but don't know much about that one either, except that it works. I...

    Imax and a tree?

    I will post pics of my IMAX in a pine tree later...It is currently up 40' on antenna pole which is cable tied to the tree with two ties every three feet. There is a #6 solid ground cable connected to the antenna mount, then run down the pole to an 8'ground rod driven into the ground. The rod is...

    Cobra 2000 GTL

    I say buy it! They are great radios. Don't get me wrong...there are alot of radios out there that do much more, but the 2000gtl was probably the best CB base station made (no flames please). You seem to know the history of this radio, so that is a plus. It is also a good price. Remember, they...

    Magnum S-9 Hmmmm

    I liked my first one in the truck so well, I went and bought a second to use as a Base Station. Very nice radio, with lots of features. Oh, did I mention LOUD audio!

    D&A PDX-400

    Thanks Nomad. I have the 15 meter cw version I think, as that is what is on the front label. 1 tube nearer the middle then 3 then 6, with a crystal plug on the front. No hole in the base for a forth driver tube as I have seen in others. I was planning to run this with my Magnum S9. Do You see...

    I too have been visiting Woody's sites for a few years now. Always informative, and entertaining. I look foward to each new installment to the Blogs. Liked "nuff said" and the "How I got started" also, heck, I liked the whole CBGazette site. Keep up the good work!
