    Omg, I hate to even ask this question...

    You're like Robert Stack, always solving them mysteries :ROFLMAO:. Glad you got it!

    Which big black base should I get?

    Not enough to worry about really at least. Here's the alinco during one of the radio's it's powered.

    Which big black base should I get?

    One of the two is off, a dvm would give that away. If it's the supply, it's not enough to cause a problem at least.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I'm guessing solar winds are what's screwing us up right now. El Mr sun does some weird stuff. I'll have to go see what the space weather woman is saying.

    Which big black base should I get?

    Really similar to yours above I've ran the alinco dm-330mvt as my station supply for about 4 years and handles most radios without breaking a sweat. I won't even try the radios with a built in amp though. You've got tons of headroom to run that Stryker.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Conditions are mediocre in the good o'l Texas panhandle. There's a ton of noise on the band today.

    Thank you sir, I'll take those into consideration. I'm always up for more learning. I won't have time until next weekend or so but will report back when the time comes.

    45w into one 2879

    Who builds it? I'd like to have one of those.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Not much to report from here today. Backed the car from the garage to the driveway and let the whip loose, some weak stations and I couldn't seem to be heard. Cinched down the whip and put the car back up. It's Surprising considering the way it's been lately.

    Well looking through the pile of pulls I found some half watt resistors which is what Bell's had used so it should be sufficient. The pulled stash saves the day. After adjusting the modulation to where audio sounds good with no crunch I ended up with about 3.5 watt dk, 18 pep amp off. Amp on...

    10-4 it's not in concrete yet so I can still modify and will consider your suggestion as well. Hopefully tomorrow I can have a little time with it.

    Ok gents I worked all the way down to 33ohms and all is working well now. I only had a 33 ohm in 1/8 or 1/4 watt 5%, the 1/2 watt or 1 watt kits didn't have that value. I get a carrier both with rfx on or off and will fine tune every when I have a some more time. Thank you @loosecannon...

    I'll get back on it later tonight and play with it some more. I did however lift one leg of that resistor and noticed I lost all the carrier so I tacked it back down. I'll report back.

    Well fellas I played with capacitance at c62 for a little while and found that it has very minimal affect. So now, I'm looking over to see what was done by the shop and try to reverse some of what was done. I see the capacitor at jp36 and a resistor on the foil side. What else is done I'll find...

    Thank you sir, you pretty much gave me a cheat sheet for this one. I was going to attack the how to tomorrow but now I'll jump straight into it.

    I was hesitant to touch screwdrivers work but I'll attempt to bring the radio carrier up to your suggestion. Tomorrow I'll go back to it and report back. I don't have much experience on the 29 or cobras, never has been a go to radio for me but I got a deal on this one.

    I'm on an rfx95hd and a Cobra 29 ltd classic. The problem goes like this. Rfx turned off, about 1/2 watt carrier swings to about 18/20 pep. Rfx on I get no carrier at all but swings up to about 70 pep. This 29 was done by Bell's before I put the rfx95 on it. He did a swing mod which brought...

    Another Anytone clone from Radioddity Qt-60

    There's a button sequence for the wx but I can't recall what it is.

    Sirio mobile antennas, which is which

    I just recently went down the sirio mobile antenna road and you're right about all the confusion. I ordered a Megawatt 4000 not looking closer and upon delivery I discovered there is 2 versios. I thought they all had the foldable feature but the one I ordered has one different word in the name...
