Thanks again to the group for leading me to a good decision on my last request, a Wattmeter. As I continue studying for my ticket I'm trying to plan and acquire other shack items/equipment I'll need. Looks like a Yaesu FT-890 from a well respected member here will be my first rig but haven't...

Since things are starting to come together here I'm looking to the future just a bit and figured a decent wattmeter inline behind my Emergency Use Only was probably a good idea. Setup is a Uniden 980SSB through a Palomar 200X to a Maco V58 at 25'. I have an 2 position switch on hand should I...

I had not completed the antenna install and had to make an emergency trip out of state and let with my coax laying on the ground outside. Came back to find rabbits had chewed on a section. Obviously there is already some corrosion occurring. This section will end up in a vertical orientation...

Hello again all. I realize I may be posting in the wrong section as I am a CBer but I don't see a section for CB amps and the Palomar is a Base amp. I'm looking for comments and advice on a Palomar 200X that I acquired a few years back but am just attempting to putting in line. I'm very new to...

I have three Mics that came with a Pace 1000B radio, the mics all tested good on the Pace but it moved on to another home. The Mics are: 1. American Electronics lollipop power mic similar to a D104. 2. A Midland handheld 3. The original Pace handheld I would like to rewire (at minimum) the...

Finally got the Maco up and temp coax run. Set up for tuning is antenna 10' off the ground, 18' RG8X to an Astatic SWR Meter, 100' RG8X from Meter to Uniden 880. Initial check at radio showed 1.12 on Ch 40 and 1.76 on Ch 1 using the Uniden on-board SWR calibration. Initial check outside at the...

Just getting into the hobby with purchase of a Uniden 880 for mobile and a Uniden 980SSB for the base. Purchased the Maco on recommendation of longtime friend and Ham. I have the Maco assembled and ready for test n tune at approx 8' above earth at a location approx 25' from the house and will be...

Hello all ......... I have three Mics that came with a Pace 1000B radio I picked up at auction quite a while back. The mics all tested good on the Pace but unfortunately the Pace needed more work that it was worth to me and it moved on to another home. The Mics are 1. American Electronics...

Recently acquired a used Uniden 880 and a Uniden 980SSB. 880 came with a mag mount 52" stainless whip that reads over 3 SWR through an Astatic PDC2 meter using a 2' jumper of RG8 from the TX on both radios. Purchased a used Wilson Silverload and mounted to the mag mount which at initial install...

First off, thanks for adding me to the forum. Just getting back into CB after 30+ years away. Primarily for SHTF purposes as I live well out in the country. Last system was a tweaked Cobra unit run out through twin 52" whips on a pickup. I knew next to nothing about theory back then. I have...
