Anyone tried one? Found good reviews (gunblast & sooch); son indicates it’s the one he’d prefer. Nice all-purpose is idea. Rifle and pistol (extra cost options in all cases). How about reticle levels? Looking at Wheeler at present. Latest truckload times got screwed up so figured I’d burn...

Comparable pair besides portability of Randy? As a pair where other gear & systems work best for one condition? — Tune up close to one another? — Run a KL-203? — Other? Granted, FCC versions are AM-only. 1). Xtra small size + President quality 2). Plug into vehicle or base systems...

Galaxy DX-959b Only the best one remains? More, better features? —At 1.5W DK kicked a KL-203p past 160W. — Dead-quiet with DSP Speaker & Coax filters. — None of that dink-dick digital “audio”. Walks & Talks. Eight miles mobile-to-mobile big truck back up IH40 in Knoxville after dark on 3.5W...

Deliver in downtown Cincy tomorrow. Then back south just across Ohio River to Walton, KY for Blue Beacon Truck Wash (at Flying J truckstop). A1-CB Shop supposedly operative at that location. — Need four (4) UHF PL-259 DOUBLE-MALE COAX ADAPTERS The major truckstop chains don’t carry these...

Going thru SimonTheWizard and saw this radio re-released ($250 in stock several places; 50W), and wondered . . . 1). A dozen or more years ago you’d hear guys proud of running a Connex 3300 (and other versions). Not much, today. 2). It was a selling point I had my Uniden PC-76 upgraded to...

Here’s a job I’ve put off a while: 1990 35’ SILVER STREAK Sterling Travel Trailer and a competent Eleven-Meter Radio for stationary use. Part One: It may be I can get underneath the exterior-skin from the interior (double-hull; inner & outer aluminum skin) without cutting at random by removing...

Noticed that both Bobs CB and Bells CB were OOS on the Lincoln II. Figured I’d best not wait any longer, despite some other priorities. Walcott Radio had them on sale, and with a tweak plus shipping it was just over $300. So, who is using them while mobile? With an RM ITALY amp? (Swing mod...

(Seems like the closest forum) Recently picked up a DX-1600 AM/FM Antenna from Walcott Radio (also at Bob’s CB) marketed for Class 8 trucks. Big trucks (today) favor antennas built-into the composite body. Usually above the windshield. Performance second to “failure-proof”. ‘ Given that...

Realized I’ve made reference to the HIGH practicality of a Radio Transport Case, but not as a thread topic. This morning I’m moving radio-related gear in and out of the Peterbilt. (Changes to existing). This comprises five (5) dedicated cases for which my cost was around $165 before tax. All...

Kenwood lists this as companion to over sixty radio units (w/variations). KES-5 External Speaker UPC 019048227904 Mil-Spec 810 C/D/E/F NSN 5965-99-347-0514 4-Ohm, 40W input 1.75-lbs Approx $50.00 Hardwired, with Molex adapter required (twin soldered ends).

Make mine a phased array, thank you. .

Running down the road presents two difficulties: 1). Noise is almost always high enough in a big truck that CB/Export radio’s capable of scanning 11-Meter are stymied by Squelch up too far. 2). I don’t wish to have the Radio off of AM-19 as its immediacy is crucial. (Non-negotiable). Bought...

There are posts, but not quite any threads specifically about this amplified, high-audio-quality external speaker. This is a DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING Speaker. DSP. The reason this subforum chosen over others is that CB & Export equipment may/may not be of high quality today, but I’m not...

Whats the best approach on containing RFI? 1). Ferrites where power leaves the genset? 2). Yet more at other end? Or that end, alone? 3). Inverter? (I turn on the microwave, forget page-changing on a website forum, ha!). The Pete has an APU (Auxiliary Power Unit; ThermoKing Tripac). 9-HP...

Heard T-Bone out of Houston near Savannah, GA this evening on AM-19. Have heard that mobile tech from Maine to Montana and all points south in years past. Means Spring has officially commenced. Also heard a guy out of NE Texas.

Had time to kill at Mobile, AL. Opportunity spoke. Finding a pair of 1,000-foot reels of proper wire wasn’t so bad as the Ingalls Shipyard isn’t far. Think it’ll get out? U.S.S. Alabama .

I see that DX ENGINEERING carries the pair of this series. The size and ostensible capability appear attractive. Reviews elsewhere are generally favorable (the usual mix). I’m considering one as addition to a case of new radio gear as gift to my son. AM/SSB radio, RM ITALY KL-203 plus DSP...

The victim. An ‘04 Triple Nickle CTD (Cummins TurboDiesel) with the mans’ trans. Nearing a quarter-million. Stock, but for road performance anti-roll bar changes (after a Peterbilt, it’s my diesel Corvette) with a bit more to come along that line to further enhance towing. A 1T, but with IFS...

A little song that — played 1.4-million times over thirty years — produced royalties to each composer of about $200k annually. Pretty sure you’ll find it familiar. And the real reason I posted this. As this segment is as good as it got. And THAT could be great.

Ran across this while reading eHam reviews on magnetic loops and wondered if anyone here had experience with it?
