    Looking for a new base amp.....

    So I'm looking for a new 110V base amp that's biased (and filtered?), nets 1Kw-1.5Kw PEP on SSB and is of good build quality from good quality parts. I know there are a few commercial choices out there and I'm leaning towards Carl Built, but what are some other good options? I'm looking to spend...

    Mobile Predator 10K SW... Opinions?

    I think I made a mistake buying a big whip and sticking it on the bed rail. My ground plane is insufficient and this morning my corona ball got ripped off in a drive-thru. It’s just too big and finicky. So, I’m looking at the Predator 10K SW with the 12” shaft with a total length of about 4-1/2...

    The $710 Cobra 29

    This is a beautiful radio, but in the end you're looking at a 40CH AM radio. I can't believe they've sold so many at this price.

    Base Sirio 827 Base Antenna

    Anyone have any experience with the Sirio 827 5/8-wave groundplane vertical? I’m considering getting one this Summer and putting it on the roof for CB use as well as trying it out on 10M-20M.

    Galaxy DX-94HP from Bells... Backwards Swing

    So I’ve been playing around with my new Galaxy DX-94HP I bought from Bells CB and hooked up my average-reading power meter to look at the output. It swings backwards. :mad: Do I just need to back the AM carrier settings down to 5-35W and maybe back off the AMC a little? Thanks!

    Galaxy DX-94HP - 12GA Gonna Cut It?

    Hopefully my new DX-94HP gets here this week. But, I have a dilemma. I have 12GA wire run from the battery through the dash of my truck up to where the radio will go. I’m thinking with this radio I might need 10GA. Should I pull everything and run all new wire through the truck or will I be OK...

    Mobile New 102” Whip & 4” Spring - Trimmed SWR

    I got a new stainless steel 102” whip and 4” spring. My mount gives about a 2” rise, so there’s about 108” of antenna. I checked SWR today and it’s not too bad, but I figured I could do a little better. Here are my readings: With 4” Spring CH 1 - 1.4 CH 20 - 1.6 CH 40 - 1.8 Without 4” Spring...

    So I want a Galaxy DX-979...

    Who should I get it from? I don't want a clipped, overmodulated splatter box. I just want clean RX/TX with as much power and sensitivity as reasonably possible with a good alignment.

    Mic restoration?

    Anyone know of a tech that restores microphones? I've got an old pre-Telex Road King 56 on the way and I'd like to have it, tested, cleaned up and rewired for my 980.

    Uniden 980..... Best Sound Quality Mic?

    What mic do y'all recommend for good quality audio with noise cancellation? I used to use the RK56 years ago, but it's junk now, so I need a new go-to mic.

    Best New SSB Radio Under $200?

    I'm thinking about buying a new SSB radio and I'd like to pay no more than $200 out-the-door with mods. I just want clean, loud transmit and quiet, strong receive with stability and durability. I don't want to run out of band, I don't want echo or noise toys, just a great CB radio. The two...

    High Resistance on CB and 2M Mobile Antennas

    I've got a problem that I can't figure out. I have high resistance, by about 20 ohms, on both my CB and 2M mobile antennas. Both are mounted on 3/8x24 stake pocket mounts on my pickup. There are no shorts in the feedline, no shorts on the mounts and they are grounded to the frame with grounding...
