he is trying the 2 hotsetup is thier any dfference in the two and why is in a keydown they dont use this setup 2 hots..
i dont think you can use lmr 400 try 213 coax
My dad (HellRaiser-NYC) told me you can use anything from chain to anchor a Ocean Liner to a fake gold NeckLace....... IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO USE THE MFJ-IT WILL NEVER WORK !
OH YEA........! FOR 2 HOTTs:
1. YOU MUST ABSOLUTLEY HAVE 50.OHMS.
2. 2ND PERSON AT LEAST 2 MILES,WITH A "TIGHT" METER.
3. TAKE READINGS "BEFORE" YOU DRILL
4. THIS WILL TAKE 2 to 6 DAYS.
I watched him tune 3 suburbans with that 6 foot spacing,they all sounded good.
the tight meter favored only 1 truck(GMC) the 2 chevy's had to be done over. thank god there was no drilling at this point.
the spacing on the chevy was longer than 6 foot and the second chevy was longer than that.
WE CAME TO THE CONCLUSTION THAT GENERAL MOTORS MUST HAVE MADE SOME CHANGES TO THE METAL FOR 1994-95. THE CHEVYs (MINE AND MY BROTHERS) WAS SETTING OFF CAR ALARMS ALL DAY AND NIGHT.
BUT THAT GREEN GMC(DADs TRUCK) HE CAN KEY UP AND NOT EVEN SPLASH THE NEXT CHANNEL.
Guys , knowing the velocity factor is a must but not as important as KNOWING "HOW" TO USE THE MFJ!!!!
YOU CAN USE RG8X FROM THE RADIO TO THE DRIVER,
RG213 FROM THE DRIVER TO YOUR BIG BOX AND RG217 FROM THE BOX TO THE FIRST ANTENNA AND 9913 TO THE SECOND.
YOU CAN USE CHICKEN WIRE!! IF IT's THICK ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE "HEAT" AND "50-OHMS"
EXAMPLE:
1. 102 INCH STEEL WHIP AND 9 FEET OF RADIO SHACK THICK COAX IS 50-OHMS
2. 102 INCH STEEL WHIP AND 9 FEET OF RG217 IS LESS THAN 50-OHMS
3. 102 INCH STEEL WHIP AND 9 FEET OF LMR600 IS NOT 50- OHMS
4. OUT THERE IN THE CB WORLD(SAYING NO NAMES) THERE IS A GHOST RIDER BOX .................
DRIVEN BY VARIOUS DRIVERS THAT HAS TRANSISTORS.
THE GUY KEEPS BLOWING HIS DRIVER. MY DAD BET ME $500 DOLLARS THAT SYSTEM IS NOT 50-OHMS "OR" CAN NOT HANDLE HEAT!
