I currently have this setup, Grant XL, road devil mic, and wilson 1k in my mobile. I have been able to talk to people about 20 miles away if they have a good setup as well. Anything I can do to talk further. Should I look into a new radio that has more power? Put an amp on it? The recieve...
I need some help, I have the opportunity to get one, cheap, that is like brand new but I can't find anything out about it off the web. I imagine its an older radio, anyone have any info for me or opinions on this radio.
Thanks

I would like to start working on my own radio's. I want to know what I need to do to get started. I think I can figure it out if there are resources to reference. Anyone have any pointers for me.
Thanks

Maybe this is in the wrong spot but today when I went home at lunch I heard al kinds of skip on ch 20 and 26. I tried talking some but never got any replies. Couple of questions.
1) Everytime I heard someone talk they always said a 3 digit number then location, why and what does it mean...
Looking into getting a small radio for my trail jeep, I have a grant xl, cobra 148gtl, and uniden 76xl that I use in other vehicles but I don't want to put any of those big radios in my cj. What is a good small radio that can be made to talk loud and have a good range on it. Will probably be...
Anyone install a Grant XL into a ford explorer, if you have can anyone give pointers or show pictures of your install. I am having a hard time finding a location to install my radio.
Thanks

I think I figured out my problem with my 148gtl. If I am on 1 and my buddy is on 2 he can hear me perfect, I believe that would be called off freq. I would like to know how to fix this. Can anyone help.
I am sorry to be a pain in a$$ about stuff but I am not sure why but my uniden 76xl talks farther than my 148gtl malaysa that I just picked up off ebay. It is a mint 148 that has a peak and tune on it and has the extra channels but for me it sucks. I have called for a radio check on 19 and...
I need help on using SSB on my Cobra 148 gtl (malaysia) I just bought. I am not sure how to use it. I was able to kind of hear my buddy on upper 20. I wasn't able to pick it up very clear. What do I need to do to hear better. I have a Wilson 500 right now but on monday I will have a wilson...
Looking at getting a ssb radio, want more options than the AM one I currently use. Looking for opinions on what is good, I have it pretty much narrowed down to cobra 148gtl or uniden grant xl, but am open to any suggestions or comments you may have.
Also, what kind of range can you...
I have a road devil mic on a uniden pc76xl and I am getting a lot of feedback when the mic gain is turned up above a quarter of the way. I have turned down the mic volume as well as the mike gain to almost zero, and still get this. Is that normal and if not what can I do to fix it?
2 questions really
1) How to set the swr on a pc76xl with radio? Don't have access to swr meter.
2) Can't get anyone to respond to a radio check or hear anyone on 19. Not sure if this is related to swr issue.
Newbie here, wondering how to best wire my radio into my 94 Dodge Ram. Go to battery or to fuse panel? Haven't done it before any suggestions would be great. Thanks
I just picked up a uniden pc76xl on ebay for $40. It was made in the phillippines and its in really good condition. Did I get a decent deal and how will this radio work after a peak and tune. I am going to get a wilson 500 to use with it and a road devil mic for it. Any suggestion or...
