Can someone please explain what I've got here.

I purchased a Uniden PC76XL off ebay. The seller says it is has been peaked and tuned and is swinging to 28 watts over 120% modulation. What does this mean? I'm new to the CB radio and I'm just trying figure out what I've got.

:shock: 28 watts??? :roll: that means its really been modified

My PC76XL does 45 watts easy. Its a common mod now, but mine was done by Bill Good and its my understanding that he designed it. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

You have a good radio there , you can either believe the numbers or not ? (it can get deep) a good antenna will be a plus for you , for without that , it really don't matter what the radios doing. If there should be a good radio shop around you that is known for good work ? You might invest 20 to 30 bucks in a good benched tune up on it . but by all means ,hook it up and see how things are first before you decide to do anything. Enjoy and welcome to the Forum .

The 120% modulation worries me though...

Would a Little Wil or K30 antenna be good enough or should I a least get a Wilson 1000?

Wilson 1000 very good antenna...

 

[Geekster]

I never had much luck with the Lil' Wilson's myself. I liked the 1000's and the silver load antennas.

the wilson 1000 is serving me well so far, I like it!!

I've used just about every Wilson antenna, and I like them all. I currently use a Little Wil with a Cobra 25 in my truck, and it does a good job without keeping me from doing drive-thru's

Get a Wilson 1000 magnetic mount.

or

if you want to drill the hole, a roof mount
