    Just put up I-Max 2000

    Back in the 70's I had a small cottage style house with a tin roof. Placed an original Starduster on the middle of the roof on a chimney mount and let the ground wire lay across the metal roof then down to the ground. No noise or RFI problems, Worked great.

    Beams FINALLY in the air!!! 14, 21, 28, 50, 144 and even 432!!!

    Good to see it all came together and is working well. I usually can tell if one of my projects will will as intended. Blood = it will work. Glad you are OK. Nothing like a project to bring like minded people together.

    How To Listen To Your CB Audio ?

    This is what I first found: eBay item #321522541218 Those of us that for several reasons can not or do not built everything have to buy stuff. Oh and in reference to my other reply, does talkbak indicate over modulation? I have never used it. Some of these toys were not in vogue when I was...

    How To Listen To Your CB Audio ?

    OK, so I understand, what you transmit as in modulation would sound different than the modulation from a talkback? I am not familiar with talkback as I do not use it. I thought over modulation would show-up either place, as an over modulated voice sound. The unit I was looking for to link...

    How To Listen To Your CB Audio ?

    I recently saw what you are asking about on e-bay. It was basically an in-line unit like Robb outlined. You used a coax jumper into the assembled unit between the antenna and the transmitter. Your headphones are plugged in for you to monitor. It was $39.00. I looked again ad did not see it...

    Question to help my curiosity

    I will be the first to admit that my knowledge of antenna building and theory is small. In searching / reading I came across information building a helical antenna. The inner working of a walkie talkie rubber duck enlarged, if you will. The pictures I saw were for another band but it seems the...
