    What’s the best mic for a cobra 29 classic ?

    I am on my second cobra mic and now it wants to cut out on me while I’m talking. I can tell it’s in the button because I can wiggle it and get it to cut up. Not wanting a power mic, cb has been professionally tuned/peaked and don’t want the sqeeling. Thanks

    Just wondering ??

    Is it possible to actually under drive a TS 667V ? All this talk about tickeling the driver with a very low dead key. What if u had a low dead key of 1 and a swing of 5 or 6. Would that be under driving it ? Thanks

    Variable knob on 667v ??

With that being said , should one run the 667v full clock as well to bypass the resistors or does one need to use the knob on this amp to lower the carrier and...

    Question from a novice about the Texas star mod v plus

    My Understanding with these drive boxes , they are made to drive a linear. With the idea of it being better to hit the amp with a lower 2 watt dk , how does that work? Does the mod v box not push the wattage up before it hits the linear ?? Just trying to clear this up on what’s happening. Thanks
