Does it have a built-in SWR I thought I read somewhere that it did but I didn't see it when you were going through the options

On my 2000 7.3 PSD using a President George FCC my truck dies when I key the mic. Yes I checked ALL wiring, ground straps, battery connection...etc. Tried different antennas, coaxes....but EVERY time I key the mic the engine dies. Next I tried a STAND ALONE battery. NOT connected to the vehicle in any way...and the truck dies when I key the mic. So its an RF problem. Is it the radio? Is it the truck? Any ideas as to WHAT sensor in the truck? ALL help is appreciated.

Also CB is longer range because it can sometimes bounce off the atmosphere

Have you considered the ionosphere bounce that CB can sometimes get?

I'd say get a mobile in the band of your choice (CB/GMRS) and a handheld in the other as a backup. (Or just be radio dork like me and have CB, 10M, 12M, GMRS, 2M and 70cM all in your truck...). 😉

Great video, can i use an base station antenna on my boat ? Would like a big antenna there. Not use what you mentioned about the length of the coax, if i need a specific length on it to tune right.
@RyanS49316 күн бұрын
On a boat you should start with a VHF Marine Radio. Unless you are adding a CB /GMRS as a backup. Boats usually have 6/7ft long vhf antennas.

CB continue to be a worthwhile second line of emergency communications If you've ever come upon a wreck or had an accident and your cell is in a no or poor signal area, a CB or a better, a CB with "other bands" or a compact ham rig "modified" to have CB frequencies can really save lives.

you lost me at 4 watts. all cb,s i ever seen have been 5 watts and 12w pep for side band, some of the import radios out there will do 40 watts out of the box. also, the stainless 102inch whip is hard to beat in performance providing you can mount it on your vehicle and the most important thing is the S W R keep it as low as possible.
@RustyOpel24 күн бұрын
5 Watts input to the finals; 4 Watts Output to the antenna. That is the FCC "spec" for a "legal" radio. (12W SSB). I have a modified Galaxy that does 100W (94HP) but that isn't legal and Pat keeps his stuff legal. (Note - I use that radio on 10M primarily where that output is legal with my Extra class license but driving between NC & ME often I might be on CB with it.) Co-phased 4' Firestiks and I've DXed as far as Italy from NC so I'm happy with my rig.

One thing that was not mentioned, is that there are vehicles made, where the body is an alloy and a magnet will not stick to it. I found this out about a yr ago. Rented a SUV and got s surprise when I tried to put my 10 meter antenna with a mag mount on the roof. I wound up finding a small space on the hood where the magnet would stick.
@RustyOpel24 күн бұрын
I ran into that as well; I usually travel with a Cobra 75 and a President Virginia antenna in my checked luggage. I had a Ford F-150 once as a rental and the aluminum body wasn't conducive to a mag mount. I stuck the antenna by the rear window (inside) and didn't transmit.
@ScottIrvine01Ай бұрын
Wouldn't it be ok to put a mag mount antenna on top of the cab?
@ve2ciiАй бұрын
That is where I put my mag mount. On top of the cab, as long as there are no obstructions around it like the body of the box. Sometimes the box is higher than the top of the cab. Then you will probably want to go with mirror mounts.

I have CB myself, but I'm starting to convert to GMRS just to have another option. I'm getting very little traffic in the Bay Area / Santa Clara County in regards to feed on my CB transmissions. It's sort of sad, because of course BEFORE the birth of Cell's, we had lots of traffic because not everyone had the money to buy a cellphone that was portable back in the 90s, and not everyone wanted to stop at a payphone (pacbell).
