Hi brand new poster long time radio talker. I have an issue I recently got back into the CB hobby and I thought I had a pretty good setup building, but I am havin gissues. First I will list equipment and then I will tell my issue I have a Magnum Delta Force Wilson 5000 antenna Texas Star 250 (with 2 2879's)ie (350) Radio Shack Swr 2000 watt digital Meter Radio Shack 80 channel scanner Larsen nmo 2/70(for scanner) Yaesu FT-90 Dual band mobile Diamond SG7500 Dual Band antenna In a 2000 Toyota Tundra Well my issue is I just put the Magnum DF and the wilson and it worked good and made a few contacts. I put the 250 in and my meter shows good out put with a 1.3:1 swr with pwr and a 1.0:1 with out. But it seems that no one can hear me. I have tried and tried to get a contact or a radio check but no one will come back like there is no output but according to my meter and everything I see it is working perfectly. keying about 150 swinging about 330 to 350 I do notice that the bands are little quieter than I used to remember but I can hear stations perfectly. I am not a new comer to this type of setup and I used to run a TS ModV on a sweet 16 with no issues whatsoever on another vehicle. What can it be? Jumpers?.....Voltage is not an issue...I have a Rockford Fosgate Gell cell battery...not sure what amp alt.....Swr is great... After I find out the issue I want to use the amp I have now to drive a bigger amp....What do you suggest? Help I have never been a mud duck(in my area anyways) I know I cant hang with the big boys. |
