I seem to recall that another company offered the same exact thing in the late seventies called the Glo-Bug costing a few dollars, for some reason I think it was Firestik. Pretty foolish idea attaching what amounts to a dummy load to your antenna....

I'm in the mood for some box too good luck with your search.

so if i put up 28ft of tower, that should be sufficient? from what i understand i want the middle of my ant at 36ft. according to the local cb shop. but i dont know if hes just blowing smoke to try to sell me something.

The W6NUT repeater is legendary there's dozens of videos demonstrating it's hilarity, a Mauldropper's version of a 2 meter repeater.

A damp fukin spider web will do it if you're pushing enough power. I had a damp spider web kill an audio amp that I was working on years ago.

I did have to re-route the antenna coax, if it was somehow damaged, could that have damaged the radio. Or maybe water in the whip barrel...

It doesn't have to be exact, close is good too but for maximum efficiency you should be at a multiple of the wave length you want to communicate on. 10 meter band (just above CB band) has a wavelength and wave height of 33 feet. 11 meter band...

so what would be the best height to have my imax? 35-30ft. im talking about the base of the ant.

Oh, man. That's the open repeater in Riverside,CA that was mentioned at Bells CB. The wild, wild west I'm told. Nothing but crickets in there now.

No, it looked right. I put red phase tape on one of the coax's ends so I could tell which was what at each end... Scratching head...

499, Why are you even attempting to boost the fields? The 320 leece neville draws 5-6 amps at 14vdc when full fielded. You can use small wire if you like. This was measured by me with a shunt/meter combo in line. I use 10 awg myself just because i...

Problem solved thanks to TheCBDoctor. C103 & C104 were bad.

OK... 850's new CB shop...

Not a big deal... You could buy those lights for $2 in 1975...

How to make VFO wind up sound on Cobra29GTL PLL Radio In the case of a Cobra 29, there is a 10.240 oscillator circuit right after the transistor that switches between RX and TX. In this trace there is a diode that feeds the first inductor...

People could would 50' plus with some T-12 at the boardwalk. Modulate trees...were was youtube in the 90's.

no you didn't

I went with the Galaxy 95T2 as AM was my primary concern...

Lets get back on the original topic please ;)

no before yall jump my balls here....whats a ground plane?

It's a little small for the 8877 box but might come in handy for something else. Pm sent

I talk 90 miles at will on a barefoot radio and a ground plane. I'm not cutting any lips off but can carry on a conversation all night.

got the jumpers connected correctly??? iv seen relays chatter when coaxial jumpers were reversed...derrrr...
