Hi all,
I decided to join this activity. I'm in salinas,ca. For now, I have ac
cobrawxst38 handheld. I'm thinking ham in the future.
If anyone is from the area and wants to share there knowledge I would appreciate it.
I'm on iPhone so typing is tough.
Q&A
I'm the car,...Equinox 2013
The cobra is scheduled powered via 12v outlet, with firestik 2ft on hood. I have the same whinny noise.m from alternator on the roof as well. It's a small noticeable sound when I sped up/down etc. it goes a way with batteries 1.5x9. Antannes isn't swr tuned. 1.2 -1.5.
Options: direct Dc to battery connection, where do I order, what parts?
Ground muffler, what part to order to ground? I heard grounding to chassis or battery might make a difference.
Buy in-line filter, what to Order where?
Is there a Dc battery regulator to clean 12v? I can install I'm car?
Is my hand held just crappy for my longer term operation? I could get a mobile CB but I named it to be small and get rid of the noise? I understand I got the cheap CB handheld. What to get that would work and be small for my Equinox. I was thinking of a 3 ft firestik? I run the coax from hood to fender in front passenger car door around floor to center under radio.
Hamradiooutlet is about 1hr away, pilot truck stop 10 minutes away.
For home, my 2nd floor patio is outside power lines. Is it bad to base an antanne on the 'patio? How far from power lines should antanne be? I'm hoping to get permission to run antanne from kitchen exhaust(unused) down to apartment. What antanne to use? Can't be permanent, but fixed to round pipe on roof.
Thank you for your help.
