Thank you very much bud! IMMA check into this.

I am so glad that I could help buddy!!!!! I love hearing stories like this!

These radios have talk back factory. This is the mod to make it louder. :)

Aweeeeesome!

With out her we wouldn't be doing what we are doing

Uuuuuuuum ya think it is? I'll have to trace it out and see if that is what that is :)

Why paint it black?

Not off the top of my head can someone help him?

put a bigger diode

watch the video all the way through, I explain which 2 resistors to put a jumper across to fix it.

look me up brother

Richard Bowen threemanpro then AT then the gmail then the DOT then the COM

+Augustas McCrae I would get a Texas Star amplifier!

Bill Yates thanks

use 102 stainless ball and spring....you wont find a better antenna for your mobile.....dont forget the rg8 coax so ya get the most fire in the wire

Well,a lot of complete off balance replies. Yes the 1K is a great choice....actually EXCELLENT choice. Here is what I say. Wilson 5K all DAY!!!! That is what another 20-25 dollars or less,shop around,will buy You. You are now covered. S.W.R.s,keep them dead on at all times. Cabling and fusing,IT IS NOT CHEAP!! Use all weatherproof in line fuse housings,know Your amperage draw,fuse accordingly. Wire loom and do NOT parallel any vehicle wiring. Always go overkill!! TWO colors,RED,BLACK. Red is hot and goes directly to the main batteries terminal....POSITIVE,keep black wire as short as possible. Heat shrink all solder connections. Keep ground as short as possible,not hard to do,seat bolts.....they tie to the frame. Yes,remove paint and do not be afraid of dielectric grease. Use all copper #2 or #0 cable,that allows for.....who knows.....1,100 watt amp. in the future. This is a job that depending on vehicle and a long day I could do at least two with a helper. Think,plan,draw,measure and get supplies where they are priced correctly and You better know where what is going where and future?....ahead of time. Just plan. WEATHERPROOF!!!! That is what the grease does as well as rubber gromets!!! Troy.

President McKinley. Enough said Mate. Good luck and 73's

Mine is the same. That's why it sits on a shelf most of the time. I can't stand to listen to it more than a few min.

@@027MC7 That's where mine ended up (on the shelf). I've been scamming parts off of it for another 29LTD I have.

You know what...I use to think the same thing..... Now my 1st contact using ACB radio 4 6800 miles to South Africa it is called skip the radio signals travel city lower atmosphere and literally skip off of it like a ball being thrown on a cylon at an angle then it comes down to other radio station if you want to really hear some of the most powerful skip signals check out channel 6 but the most important thing the 1st office have been a good antenna of course the best place for the antenna is going to be in the very center of your vehicle but if you drive a big truck this is why they usually have 2 antennas on each side to simulate one in the center won't you have a good antenna You can Install an amplifier this is what is going to really push your signal out there strong for other people to hear you once I learned about amplifiers status for change my life to the point where I dedicate my life to

If you're being serious about only being able to get around the corner and it is a very good chance that your antenna is not set up properly check out some KZfaq videos on how to tune a mobile antenna If you really get into this hobby and make that 1st contact hundreds or even thousands of miles away that feeling That you get when you speak that 4 of a distance is an amazing feeling I urge you to look Bieber into this can honestly an amplifier is the 2nd most important thing of course with the antenna being the 1st field if you're in town I have not set up correctly and does not have a good ground And amplifier is no my do you no good if you're running a magnet lace and Tana just make sure that it is in the center port of your vehicle I have worked thousands of Stations with a Wilson 2000 magnet and Tana home my Jeep Cherokee years ago Good luck let me know if you have any questions love to help you get into this hobby and his joy speaking to stations across the United States and across the ocean but check out channel 6 this is where the most powerful stations will be talking on I've even received stations on this channel using a $5 walkie talkie from the dollar store lol

Antenna height and quality and matching (swr) is the real key to radio, CB or amateur, and coax does play an important part as well. Skip is when your perfectly matched rig (transmitter and antenna) skips along the atmosphere to a point far beyond your imagination. I'm in Dallas Texas and have talked to the UK (across the Big pond)in the east, to as far as Quam to the west, Artic Circle City North Pole Canada in the north, to Cusco Peru in the south, all on straight out the box wattage. Anyone who says you can't is a Damn lier. Look into all you can on matching your equipment so that it runs cool (low swr) usually 1:1 and you too will be talking all over the country and beyond. Good luck brother and 73's to ya. KZS0130 out.

Near atl yes

Indeed

Can't say I understand that one lol..you'll hear to help me out lol.

Agreed helps with the dimming of the front lights also.

YES I can if you can give me a bit of time to get caught up.

Exactly man lol lol...4w that far. .mother nature was very kind wasn't she :)

yes he did. 14:54

Yeah He did. Should playback and pay closer attention. Send the kids back out the shack and into the playroom. Oh and it works. Made an incredible increase on my 29lx. You da man Gatekeeper. Whorah!

Watching video till the end is not your strong suit is it

He is barefoot...his needle is bouncing like that because it has the radio peaked and turned very well.

Ok everyone! I watched the whole thing. Sorry for opening my fat fucking uneducated mouth

It makes me SEE sick !

Are you series doodm...you have one of these OMG I sold all of mine I want another one!

I did but if u want one I'll get u one

I got a guy that works on them

I'm on the hunt right now for u 1 it's just like new was there it came in

What is not a amp?

Lol lol lol 😆 🤣 😂 😅

Lol lol lol....if your an avid skip shooter you have made contacts barefoot before when the conditions are just right. Plus that day, that could had been an ECLOUD OVER where that fellow was talking.

I just got me a big deck for my ol lady!!! She says ain't nothing better than coming over and sitting on my big deck....

1OFGODSOWN in one way I can agree with you but in another way I will have to disagree. This is a hobby for most and everyone has there own preferences. The talkback on this radio is factory but isnt loud at all. I was justnl demonstrating the mod to fix that issue. Next wasting money to just gain 2w or so is a waste of time, bit not 20w to 60w. I have 4 Stickman Modified Comp Tuned Cobra 29s and they will BLOW YOUR MIND. I use my weakest one for my hot radio in my videos demonstrating Amplifier output. You will gain from 2w to 4w RMS 6 to 12w pep to 14w to 16w RMS 45w to 80w PEP with a single final. Major Modification that is truly amazing brother. Wish you could see one for your self, I promise you say money well spent. thanks for stopping by and come by anytime brother. Gatekeeper down here in GA said that 73z

Talk back is necessary for proper echo setup for the dry / wet levels and for a bad mic wire or dirty switch condition or bad mic element so it is useful. As long as it can be turned on and off thats the important aspect

Oh is that right......let me go back and hear it for my self and see what I hear.
