Love it! All the best electronic equipment, meters, battery bank, etc........and a 7/8 open end wrench in the cup holder just in case we have to make a slight adjustment. Ha ha. Seriously though. A really nice setup and great looking install. Respect from the DragN'Fly down around tennessee. And i'm back quiet.
Not trying to be mean but after watching the news channels for the last year things seem pretty bleak in Chicago well finally I see something good coming out of Chicago keep up the good work guys I enjoy the video and definitely enjoy seeing a station set up like this ,very impressed,from a hillbilly in the foothills of Kentucky ,606 the rattler lake Cumberland Kentucky.🙃
I'd be afraid to be near the damned thing when it keyed up. You could probably put a pot of beans out near the vehicle and warm them up for lunch just off of that much RF...
Right, especially with all the stray rf that's in the vehicle. They are harming themselves and don't know it. You hear the way the audio goes to hell when he runs the DK way up. Not good.
Wow! Remind me not to key up my measly 667 while I am in the area. Thats serious power. I can barely keep things working properly in my big truck with 700 watt!
It’s a debatable subject. The techs will always tell you to swing forward. The meter on the right side is showing reflective power. Swinging back is ok (better the forward) on a bird line section meter. As far as the output on the left. We use rms slugs and meters (not peek slugs and or meters). If it were a peek meter it would be swinging forward. Sometimes you may hear someone with a big maul but no audio. That is a guy who has it turned up to high and is overdriving/swinging backwards. 22 and I give each other radio checks on a regular basis to make sure we don’t swing back or lose audio. You will notice at the end of that video, all the video gates/audio checks. That thing has great audio even at 8k. Now you may notice that it is barely swinging forward on the gates. That’s because he is to close lol. He would have to drive for a half hour (maybe more)before we would see it go forward. Hope this info helps. Keep on maul droppin. Catch you in the world of sound. Thanks for watching.
That's a crazy high dead key I can't imagine it liked that very much. Ideal dead key for that box is around 4k watts. If course idk what it has for pills I'm assuming hgs what with the soldiers being discontinued and all
I look up to yall boys when it comes to the running game man....I can only hope to be running a mobile like this one day lol.....64 pill mobile goooooooooodbessssssss son.....Only other person I know of is Tech Nine out there running a. Big mule like this... OLE GATEKEEPER SAID THAT AND IM GONE!
64 transistors should put out not too much more than 8 kilowatts max peak, that’s 800 watts average that than swing up to 8000 peak. If you do that, you’ll have an AM broadcast quality signal, and the transistors will last you forever.
Yeah, my hatred for these people is UNREAL. I run 200w on 10 meters (legally) and very, very, very easily get 5/9 all over the world. Then I look at my spectrum display and see THE HARMONICS from these guys all the way from 11 meters. When a channel 6 station keys up, I will see 4 or 5 spikes of modulation allllllll up and down the 11 and 10 meter bands. Sure, they are putting THOUUUUSANDS of watts down the coax.........but only a quarter of it ends up on the actual frequency they're transmitting on, thus making it nothing but a shit splatterbox. And for what???? So they can key up and say the same things over and over 10000 times every day? I hope your stupid suburban catches fire and I hope the FCC takes AALLLLl your equipment and fines you into obvlivion. You're not a radio operator, you're just a loud obnoxious shuck-and-jive idiot.
very very nice set up a little cleaning up of wires and a permanent setup and you will Got DOWN I run 20 K on my base set up so I know mobile has a lot more involved AAAAAA +++++++++ to you! 73s Mr Stoner 714 In the buckeye state click click
Wow. 20k in the house. That’s impressive. I’m sure that is no easy feat. Good job to you and thanks for the compliment. Maybe one day Mother Nature will hook us up in the world of sound. Have a great holiday season and God bless. 73’s
Haha. All I know is, we talk a lot of Skip, have a Lotta fun, and our DC boxes are not blowing up. PS you should see the reflect in my truck, your head would spin LOL.
@@28chicagovideogate50 what are you talking when you are talking skip, half way across the USA. Thats not skip when you are in Chicago and you are only talking 1500 miles max. Skip is talking to Austraila or 8 or 9 thousand miles away.
A als600 600 watt amp doesn't even shut itself down until 75 watts if reflect. If it's a well built amp then it can handle some but at 1 watt for every thousand that's great. That's 5 or 6 watts for five or six kw output not 50 or 60.
This guy has had a buzy month, skip has had 9am to 4pm and 7pm to 1am evening bursts. I have heard Germany, Alaska, Hawaii, Jamaica, and 4+ states away in every direction, like 'poof' cb gonna act like fourtymeters for a while...almost annoying. 😃😑
Wow, at the end there you were running nice and smooth. Your signal was almost s9. Maybe it hit s9. That's cool. I don't know how far you were from the receiving station. I know I wouldn't want to be too close to you. With all that rf its kinda hard on a receiver. The audio was super good at the end, so you know things are going in the right direction. The average Joe doesn't understand the money and time and experimentation that goes into a set up like that. I'm too close too hear you, about 250 miles. I would love too see you guys go to lake Michigan and have some chains or cables hooked to your chassis and put them in the lake. Your stuff looks good. Seems to be working good and I am sure it will keep getting better. The 29 is a workhouse and an excellent choice for testing amps. I could ramble on more, but you seem pretty spot on. Enjoy your creation. 73
WHY YOU NO SHOW US WHATS INSIDE THAT AMP . IS IT BECAUSE YOU GOT TO MOUSE RUNNING ON A WHEEL . OR IS IT SO SECRET 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE CRAP INSIDE .
I'm not even against CB either. I love CB......use the amount of power you need to use for the other person to hear you, and no more. If there are 10000 people on the same frequency, qsy somewhere else....... CHANNEL 6 AM USERS ARE THE REASON HAM OPERATORS THINK SO LITTLE OF CB.
I’m not sure since it’s been a year since we made that video, but because I can see our 55’s in the back by the 64 pill, I will assume we were running the tee-poles. 73’s
It's probably 5k suburban 5k alternators and bracket. 5k 64 pill parts. 5k miscellaneous like caps and batteries and wires. Not counting countless hours of trial and error. I think. At least 20k maybe more.
@@TexasPrisonStories No......... These channel 6 morons splatter all the way up to other bands, too. They show how much power it's putting out, what they dont show you is that the power is split between like 5 frigggin harmonics that are all over the place, so only like a quarter is going on the frequency they're talking on.
You guys are rocking it keep up the good work or I should say great fun I have to pick your brain once you get this thing fine tuned, Looks like you're having a good time that's all it matters
10-4 Thanks. That’s definitely what it’s all about, having fun with our radios. You can call me anytime to pick my little peanut of a brain. 815-919-0016.
Burned out lights in the cab? How much rf are you being exposed to when you key up? Set a field strength meter on the seat between your legs and show that meter reading.
You need 20A per 2879 to get full power. A 64 pill will pull 1200 or better. But that amp is pretty weak. I see better than this out of a 32 pill. My 32 would key 12kw and back up to 8k. It would key 6 and swing to 8. No peak kit. 10kw would be 150 watts per transistor. Amp is running fairly weak brother.
Do you want to produce splatter? You shouldn't squeeze more than 60-80 watts, depending on voltage, out of a 2SC because the extra dB are wasted if the modulation is messed up. Unless you're running FM, it doesn't play such a big role. Higher Voltage, better IMD
@@fnordist IMD is influenced by voltage, generally.... But there is a point of diminishing returns. The numbers I said, as to current, are re, took 100 watt out numbers. 100 watts out, (which is rated power out and typically you can see 120 and still be - 30 down on all odd order of you have any decent regulation in your Vcc and bias) will require a couple hundred watts in, the 2879 in class AB service is barely better than 50 percent efficient) will require 200 watts in. And that's in a lossless circuit. You'll typically see a few tenths drop here and there, which at 20 or so amps all adds up). W8JI showed a 2879 doing over 200 watts before. He designed an amp that does 125 watts plus per 2879. They meet spec. The Toshiba 2879 was a failed 28 volt Motorola clone. This was done at the behest of a guy that sold a lot of rf parts and stuff on the west coast. Because it was supposed to be a 28 volt device, it's really underrated at 13.8 volts. And the numbers show it. I run 16 x 2879s in a legal limit mobile. Nobody complains.
not against high power, but, its a waste of money when mother nature call the shots. with all that power, you cant be heard except local when mother nature does not put your signal out there. even a 4 watts radio with the right antenna and mother nature, can be heard 4k miles away. JUST SAYING!🤔
Poor genetics, lack of braincells, lack of care for anybody but themselves, lack of care for any other radio operators, lack of care for interference. Just poor practices all around. It's sad. Channel 6 is the reason licensed operators make fun of CB. THOUSANDS OF WATTS just to talk over eachother, to say the same thing over and over, to the same people, every day.
@@TexasPrisonStories lmao, I have worked the world qrp. In order to break a pileup you are technically "keying, lol" on someone. You have probably never been in a woman.
@@bigdEnergy666 you didn't break a pile up with five watts at all. you called and got heard between the big guns and got lucky the op was probably listening for /qrp callsigns. I've been doing qrp on all bands from the worlds longest fishing pier for about 15 years with almost 200 dxcc worked at 5 watts. I know a little something about it. I prefer cw over any other mode. Learned that in my teens and I'm year thirty of this radio hobby. By looking around at ham fest and the state of most ham operators I'm pretty sure it's you that's never had a woman. Have a great day and enjoy your radio.
@@TexasPrisonStories I suppose all of the times I have "keyed, lol" on my neighbor 20 miles away is just impossible since he was running a 10k pep ghostrider. It's all about propagation. You probably don't even have a forever tech ticket.
