The CB Radio Talk Forum

That was a great bunch of information in that last topic. Sure a bunch of good stuff to know. One of thre biggest things I see when getting any used radio is to a complete, nuts and bolts cleaning of the rig. the dirts and spills and dust and cooties hurts any of dem older rigs to no end. 73 ya'll. ...

Great information Greg, thanks.

Hi Gentlemen,

I just got a D & A Raider from the '70's.
Any good suggestions on tests, tuning it and setting the band knobs for 11 meter?
I need to set the Load knob with a tiny screwdriver.
All good ideas, suggestions, recollections of uses in prior lives are appreciated.

Good, just what I was thinking. I'll get the RG8 for in and out.

Thanks,

Mike

Would RG-8X coax jumpers be good to put a D&A Raider Amp in line with my base units?

I plan to get 2- 9' jumpers and hook in line directly with my President Washington or the Galaxy 2517 as required.

Ideas would be respected and appreciated.

I got all that, too. Several times I tried to get the 505 and
think I even saw that it wasn't available for sale in US. Not completely sure about that, but it's in my head somehow.
Anyway, didn't get anywhere with 88 Radio this time. I got the 203-P from them, though, last year.

Cool, 295. Looks good.

I just got a Gray 300 Bi-Linear Amp, myself. Gotta put a couple wires on it to hook it up.

Best wishes for exciting transmissions with that Sonar on there.

Mike

You are gonna LOVE that radio, I'm tellin' you.

10-4 on THAT, BB. Awesome piece of equipment.

I bought a Gray 300 yesterday and a

D&A Raider Tube Linear amplifier. Cb ham amateur.

Prolly more stuff than I need and will prolly be selling one of them again.

Well, thank you all for the informative, as well as entertaining, positive responses.
That is an issue being understood now and not one to concern much with.
I'll move the light.

73 ya'll

Mike

here is a question. I have an LED light hooked on a boom and sometimes when I put the heater on the lights will come on unintentionally. Any ideas?

10-4 on that, my friend. I have an S-350 and I love it.
MegaWatt is da deal...........

We'll look forward to hearing more from your side of the pond.

Looks like a good plan. I have an Archer 20-021 Discharge unit that is for the same thing.
I am going to hook it in-line on the IMax 2000.

Awesome. We are looking for the clean, positive, strong signal. I am looking forward to getting my IMax 2000 up so I can do some real talkin' ! Blue Ox said that from the Heart of Lancaster County in the Keystone State. Mike [ Post made via Linux Laptop ] http://www.cbradiotalk.com/ext/sniper/mobile...

Absolutely. Audio is the best with a properly matched, well tuned,
and high enough antenna. The antenna is key. Without good ears
nobody gonna hear ya anyway.

TOO COOL ! You are one fortunate radio operator to be able to grab such a prize. Now, if you could put a 40' tower up there in the park......... 73 Pal, Blue Ox said that from the Heart of Lancaster County in the Keystone State.......

Good luck with that Charles.

I am sure you will find the issue and have it corrected
in no time.

Well, I sure didn't score a Bonanza like that but I just got a Leader 8100 Oscilloscope at a pretty good price and I'm learning that. I am gathering things together to get my IMax 2000 up in the Spring. Also, I am currently having my Cobra 142 GTL Direct Injected by Perry Meyer and adding a foot swi...

Hope all is working well.

You'll be fine with the inverted V in there. Don't worry if the ends need to straighten out for a few inches, or so, either. JMHO. 73

[ Post made via Linux Laptop ]

I'm in an HOA and I put an inverted V DR-Dipole on my roof. I have also put the Patriot 12' on a Dish mount pole and there hasn't been anything said. In the Spring I am going to put the IMax 2000 up somehow. Just gotta get it up high enough. 73 to ya, best wishes for best rig you can have out there....

My closest locals share the space on Channel 25 AM. Otherwise, I am on 38 LSB trying to make contacts as possible.

Holy Cow Trapper. That is down right awesome.

Hey there PA629, Now THAT is the kinda fun I miss. SOOOOOOO cool you could play with yer son like that. I guess today that would be considered bullying, or harassment. God Bless you my friend, Mike [ Post made via Linux Laptop ] http://www.cbradiotalk.com/ext/sniper/mobiledevice/images/Linux Laptop....

Mr. Bubble,

The one you send to me, medium box postage due, will be the best one available
and I will love it.

Red or Blue, it's up to you.

Merry Christmas and

I like my McKinley as an awesome SSB mobile. Our sponsors have good deals as MDY mentioned. Best wishes on finding the one that suits yer needs. Perhaps Santa will bring you just the right one. 73, Mike [ Post made via Linux Laptop ] http://www.cbradiotalk.com/ext/sniper/mobiledevice/images/Linux La...

I always check the Shout box to see what is going on. If there were local forums for regional discussions that may work also. I enjoy speaking with all the folks in the Shout Box at any rate. 73 Mike [ Post made via Linux Laptop ] http://www.cbradiotalk.com/ext/sniper/mobiledevice/images/Linux Lapto...

I always thought there was a reasonable explanation.

Merry Christmas my friend.

I do live in an HOA that has all those rules. The antenna isn't connected to her property in any way. I'l show you the pic tomorrow in daylight. I saw another resident putting up a TV antenna with a rotor today. 73, Mike [ Post made via Linux Laptop ] http://www.cbradiotalk.com/ext/sniper/mobiledevi...

I just added a Galaxy DX 2517 to my Doghouse Base and put up an IMax 2000 on a tripod out in the front yard. Can't wait to see how this excites the neighbors. Already had a neighbor at my front door complaining about the antenna. Life goes on.... 73, Mike [ Post made via Linux Laptop ] http://www.cb...

Welcome back Devil Dog.
I will certainly be looking forward to your
experienced, educated input to our ever growing

Right now I have a flag mounted in a bracket on the light post in the front yard. It is up most all the time and I have a solar powered light focused on it for night time. I only take it down in strong wind for concern for the light post. This tripod I am considering doing is the same one I used at ...

Well, I have the HOA issue at my home-20 and so far I am getting away with a Patriot 12. I'm thinking of putting up an I-Com 2000 in the Spring on a pole and tripod in the front yard. Mount a flag on it, below the antenna, and put a light on it so I don't have to take it down, and then I'll be set. ...

Hi Texlonewolf, I use the Mc Kinley as a base radio with the Patriot 12' and D-104 M6b mic. Once in awhile that little RM KL 203-P is connected as well. Is a very good working little radio that is connected to a Pyramid PS7KX. 73 and good luck with your rig. Mike [ Post made via Linux Laptop ] http:...

Hey there 26CT1994, Welcome to the group. It will be great to have your added input. These folks have a ton of info to share and plenty to learn. Perhaps we'll see you in the Shout Box. 73, Mike [ Post made via Linux Laptop ] http://www.cbradiotalk.com/ext/sniper/mobiledevice/images/Linux Laptop.png

bought it wired for the mcKinley.
Got it from our sponsor here, GI Joe Electronics.

Hey there Trapper, I'm also using the McKinley as a base radio with the D-104 M6b and the RM KL 203-P. This past week I had set-up a Tram 1499 antenna on a tri-pod outside the dining room of my dwelling in the Pocono mountains of PA. Figured it was up about 16' AGL. Contacted Ocala, FL., Daytona, FL...

Howdy Tx1Tec, Sure thing, I use an adapter on my President Washington with the Silver Eagle and I have an adapter jumper cable on my Cobra 142 GTL with the Night "K" Eagle. They work wonderfully. 73, Mike [ Post made via Linux Laptop ] http://www.cbradiotalk.com/ext/sniper/mobiledevice/images/Linux ...

Awesome Lynx. LOL, I'm still having trouble getting out of the back yard.
Keep up the great efforts.
