Re: LED work lights

I've got one of those lights on the back of my 80, lights up an area great. For example at one night at our beach house the TV antenna cable had come out of the antenna and i pointed the light up at the antenna on the roof of the house and it lit the area up enough to stand on the roof and fix the ...

Re: High powered UHF CB radio info please

I'd be looking for something that is compatible with the change to narrow band next year.
Unless you need something right away, I'd hold off buying till next year or find something that is reprogrammable.
Otherwise prestige communications online store has good prices and service.

Re: High powered UHF CB radio info please

TX4200 is starting to get fairly long in the tooth so probably have degraded in sensitivity over the years. The glass mount antenna will be your problem though, they never seem to tune up very well and generally aren't installed correctly. Best bet would be to replace the antenna and see how it goes ...

Re: High powered UHF CB radio info please

The GME do have better audio quality over the uniden IMHO.
What model GME Radio is it?
As Damkia said having the extra tx power wont make a huge difference but a correctly chosen and mounted antenna will!

Re: High powered UHF CB radio info please

Problem is you have a Uniden...lol. They have terrible audio quality. The Taits sound better as they are a commercial radio and cost like 4 times as much to initially buy compared to your uniden. I haven't ever heard of the overheating prob with taits, but my experience has mainly been with mid band ...

Re: spotlight dramas

The black cylinder thing with a globe is really your fuse holder and fuse. More than likely it is corroded and taking the fuse out and putting it back in gave it a better contact.

You could try swapping the relays over and see if that makes a difference

Re: electrical repairs

Does it have a switch called TSQ i think it is... If that is pushed it will not recieve.
Or otherwise the speaker is stuffed.
If its not either of those two then it will cost significantly lots lol

But on glass serve a purpose where placement is more important than performance.. they also never seem to tune up real well either so that hampers their performance too

Either the 6120 classic or E85 or whatever it is. Cradles are avaliable through force for either and have a passive antenna coupler so still can have external antenna. Down side being they are bluetooth and you will most likely have to upgrade your data box for it to be compatible with the proper ...
