Anyone remember a CB radio operator that went by Chicken Stomper? I used to watch his YouTube videos. Guy was really funny. Liked to goof around on the radio but also made videos about his radio projects like antennas, amplifiers, home brew hifi transmitters, etc. I went to dig up one of his...
You might see a big rig with an antenna on the mirror and assume there's a Cobra or Connex tuned to channel 19 inside... Not this guy!
Try a mobile mounted IC-7300 operating FT8 on 40 meters...
I'm thinking about installing an 11 meter radio & dual band VHF/UHF radio in my new truck. That'd mean two antennas on the roof. A puck mounted base loaded Sirio P5000 for 11 meters a few inches in front of the high mount rear brake light and an NMO mounted dual band antenna same position but...
I've never been a big fan of what the Automatic Noise Limiter (ANL) does to receive audio on most CB & 10 meter radios. To me, it seems like it just whacks a lot of high frequencies giving you the illusion of lower noise at the expense of fidelity. Unfortunately, the NB/ANL setup on most CB & 10...

Has anyone ever seen these boards? I wonder if they really do much the jp36 cap/resistor mod can't? I'm a sucker so I bought one to check out.
For sale: Cobra XL-450 Amplifier in pretty excellent condition.
The only real flaw is fixable. For whatever reason, the previous owner decided the engraved labels for the two SO-239 connectors weren't good enough and had to write their labels with a sharpie on the back of the amplifier. This...
WTB: 90s Copper Electronics Catalogs
Would buy any from the 90s but would really like to own one or more from 91-95.
PM me if you have any you'd be willing to part with.
I've never had a tower, but am considering purchasing a manufactured crank/tilt tower setup about ~50 ft. tall.
The ability to crank it down to minimum height then being able to tilt it over to work on/install/change antennas without having to climb is appealing.
What make/models should I be...
Any reason you can't have a PL259 and an N connector on the same piece of coax? I recently installed a Collosal 10k in the top of a 90ish ft. tree and used a 150 ft. premade piece of Times Microwave LMR-600 with PL259s preinstalled. I need to cut the excess 50-60 ft. off and put a new connector...
Anyone know if the new Texas Star DX1600s being sold on e-bay are good/legit? I had heard something about fake transistors a while back. I'm OK with HGs, just don't want to pay for some unknown/junk transistors or if I should avoid these latest gen DX1600's all together. This would be for a...
I have for sale 1 brand new Colossal 10k 11 meter ground plane antenna made by Zero Five antennas
I purchased this antenna new and never used it, still have the receipt.
Assembled once to test on a 5 ft. mast in my yard using the sharpie marks on the antenna pieces that the builder provides...
I know from first-hand experience the Flex & Anan radios work quite well on AM transmit (much better than any modern knobbed HF transceiver) in terms of being able to reach 100% + modulation. Anyone tried one of the SunSDRs? They've got a QRP model 5-8 watts that looks interesting and is under...
So my favorite Cobra 29 has a channel indicator that is acting a little funny. It's an older side mic 29 and when you change to/from (or past?) channel 21 a part of the 2 acts like it wants to go out (it flickers a bit). All other channels 1-40 channel display illumination is solid, including...
I have a fresh out of the box Mfg. in 2017 Cobra 29 LTD Classic Nightwatch. It's a really nice radio for what it is (I've had a lot of 29s over the years, some feel like absolute junk - this one is solid, good knob feel, nice quiet and sensitive receive)
My only complaint is this one has a sort...
Cobra 29 LTD Classic with Asymod III Hi-Fi Asymmetric Modulator installed. Like new condition.
- Radio has been completely aligned & Asymod III board tuned by the gentleman that made the board
- Setup for 1 watt carrier and up to 8 watts PEP with the appropriate audio signal in up to 200%...
I'm using an Oscilloscope to monitor my AM modulation envelope. I always adjust the scope so it shows a bar across the very middle of the screen that is one box up and one box down's total width.
Now I've always experienced this problem to varying degrees, but currently when I touch ANYTHING...
