Easy Extra Watts + Connector talk for CB Radio

[@chadg2266]

The xt-90 connectors made a 10-15 watt difference for me on the rfx95hd.

Noice 👌

[@jefffritsche9974]

So how much difference is there between XT-90 and Anderson Powerpole connectors ? Most of the power distribution panels seem to be Powerpole connectors.

[@stevekrueger3928]

What WOULD be meaningful is a comparison of connectors when used on a specific single test radio load, all using the same wire gauge, length, and power supply with at least 3X the capability of the load. And include the rated, not maximum specifications of each over rated temperature. The other thing that is never reported in the test radio voltage at the output of the radio connection along with the test radio output watts. A lot of work, I know, but extremely useful and to point of connector selection. This is work I would do before selecting a connector based on 45 years of EE work.

Great idea. I have a connex 4600 turbo with the 6 pin and it's a peice of junk as far as I'm concerned. I definitely would buy one.

[@randallbrostean8009]

Wow. That's alot of extra watts. Awesome

[@Tinman386wisconsin]

These work great!

[@douglassheffield6300]

Wow, that’s amazing that you would gain that much ❤ Thanks Matt

[@jackmyers7756]

Sounds good

[@scott1976ize]

What size fuse would you use on it?

[@EricTechstuffs]

I can confirm

[@414mike-uw8pr]

What size is the Anderson ?

[@TheRadioGarage]

That Anderson was a 50 amp

[@Hobo-Henry]

XT90 connector is perfect addition

[@ironhead320]

Sweet

Why bother with a pin type male or female Type connector at the back of the radio chassis? Why not pull the flush housing mounts out of the back of the radio and go with wires soldered in the radio and have heavy 8 ga gauge wire or what ever the max amps will be say 12 inches and a 50 amp Anderson Power Pole or 75amp Anderson Power pole (if that is the amperage you need) and eliminate any heating problems? As a Ham op I use nothing but APP stuff..(tons of 15-30 & 45 amp Crimp on connectors) NO Heating or shortage of use-able amps...Just curious? I think its cost most likely?

[@creekrunner2078]

More amps more watts awesomeness 👌

[@travisfletcher5751]

Can i send you my galaxy 47 and have this done?

[@charliehustle5529]

lot of power nice

[@stonefacedgrasshopper2200]

Man the torpedos!! Rev it to redline!! Jam the horse with the spurs!! Crank it up to 11!! Awe, shucks. I'm the Tortoise. I'll just mosey along here under the radar and see ya at the finish line...😎

[@TheRadioGarage]

Haha I'm guilty as charged 😝..that one made me laugh 😂

[@AGNorthSouth]

When are you going to be ready for mail ins?

[@jdeftw]

x2. Been sitting on a few radios for a year or so that need repair and tune up.
