Nice one Ben. Look forward to new radio videos. ATB mate.

[@peggie2999]

Full power 50W setting on the FT1900 with M6 Foundation license. Don't worry, we won't tell anyone. 😊

[@fazejohncenachristogamerfaze]

lmao

Haha yeah, I still have that radio, it’s a pain because it only work on full power, still draws like 10 amps but puts out about 8 watts so it’s been a while since I used it to be fair lol. I did get it mended though the power cable was damaged causing it to put out low power on all settings. I think it went wrong again though, can’t remember exactly but perhaps I’ll get it out and use it again. I did enjoy that radio.

Nice to see a bit of cb radio. I thought that pat might of been on.

[@ERICtheLATE]

Cool setup, Rube Goldberg and Frankenstein style, yet all solid state. Is there a way to patch in the battery to the charge system, or do you charge it elsewhere, hook it up, and run it down till the next charge? I did that for a base station power supply, and it was a lil work but lasted at least a week above 11 volts, and made the recieve so quiet, by not being tapped in to the world of conduit.

[@RSPYT]

I could wire it up and make it charge but I don’t keep the radio in the car for long usually so I take it out when I’m finished with it and charge it up at home, then put it away until the next time. :)

[@unitedstatesirie7431]

the new surface board mounted digital ANYTONE brand of CB has AM, FM, SSB and WX weather channel. It is always important to have an older solid state CB radio such as a COBRA 148GTL as a backup, because the new surface mounted digital designed CB radios can be destroyed by an EMP.

[@adamivanecky3907]

the type of 27mhz ssb cb are with am/usb/lsb

[@steveedwards4495]

When did the call channel change to 19? That was always the trucker channel? Was always channel 14? 1 4 for copy?

[@adrianvining7431]

Hi l just stumbled across your video today l am thinking of getting a mobile set up what antenna would you recommend?

[@RSPYT]

I recommend a Sirio 3000,4000 Or 5000

[@Bones-912L]

When i have mine plugged into cig lighter I get a lot of interference waiting till I've some spare dosh then better one hard wired to battery should sort it

[@RSPYT]

I made a video this morning talking about that issue… some cars do it and some don’t 😂

Got a new set ss6900 wired it to fuse box couldn't get it to battery but so far so good

[@Andrew-bl2vo]

That a " burner" I see under the swr meter

[@AM-zt3xe]

Will the areil wire be ok trapped in the door and would it not make water leak in your car how would u wire the antenna wire in more permanent?

[@recall2880]

Yes it would be fine and no it won’t leak. Did it many times in the 90s. Without drilling holes in the car there isn’t a permanent way

[@rosscopeeco69]

Yes it will cause water ingress. Even if minimal, water will channel down the wire and through the gap created in the rubber. That is not to say that X amount of people won't have water come in but in my experience of your going to fit an antenna best do it correctly as wires hanging off the roof look naff. There is a permanent way. To mount it into the roof you'd use a 3/8" SO239 adapter / mount. Essentially drill through, treat with anti rust paint and a plastic washer to prevent leaks etc. Or use a 3/8" side pillar mount which you'll get from thunderpole or Amazon. You can then track the coaxial down the roof lining/ pillars and make a neat hidden job of it.

@@rosscopeeco69 Way OCD. It will be fine

[@spooktasticaparanormal]

Nice video Ben, Keep up the great work bro. Kind regards. Paul.

[@chucky2316]

I had mine hard wired in my mazda2 but I've got a 14 plate mondeo so I don't want to mess up my car

[@RSPYT]

Won’t mess it up if it’s done properly lol

[@chucky2316]

@@RSPYT the thought of taking a hacksaw or drill to my mondeo fillsme with dread, I had a delta slim in the mazda tiny cb Ben

[@RSPYT]

Why would you need to drill or cut anything? People who do that are silly lol

[@Bones-912L]

Try a president Bill mine fits in compartment between front seats in a freelander out of sight as well and lid shuts

[@jameely]

When not in use should I remove it
