Which Radio

[Big Guns]

If you had money in hand and the choice of S/W/P General Lee or a S/W/P w/ option #2 on a Connex 4600 turbo what would you buy?

[Rex_foxhound]

I would probably get the G. Lee. You can save about $200 and use that extra $$$$ for an amp that would more than likely have you talking louder than a 4600.

If you don't want an amp go with the 4600.
:Peace!:

Simple choice, I bought the SWP 4600 Turbo. I have enough going on in my truck I didnt want a seperate amp. I havent had the time to do much testing but I have recieved and transmitted 25 -30 miles with clear modualtion. Today, I didnt have any problems talking to truckers. When I asked a question, I got an answer.

May buy a Gen Lee for one of my other vehicles but for my main driver....... got what I wanted !

Depends. If I wanted the radio to use as a base as well as mobile, I'd actually steer more towards a S/W/P 2950DX for all the 10/11/12 meter [modified] goodies for talkin skip [LSB, USB, CW if you're hardcore]

Then, in a few years when CB will be exploding with skip, you can jump on USB and talk to the UK with no problem.

No wait, you're only allowed to talk up to 120 miles away... pfffft AHAHAHAHA

:06-28iag: :06-28iag: Makes more sense.

I know this guy you can call. oh ya he has amps too.

[Duck Commander]

Sounds good RA what you want on it?

[Falkon MX-5]

[stickman]

SUPERWACKPACK GENERAL LEE AND A DAVEMADE AMP!!! AFTER ALL IT IS A DAVEMADE WORLD!!!
STICKMAN

[Mr RadioActive]

Mosfets hurt my stomach, I liked them better when I was younger, but these days its a pepto bismal world! lol

The guys are giving good advice, except for eating mosfets.

I enjoy the separate components if you can fit them. With the General Lee, there are lots of amps that you can put behind it, or lay low barefoot (like in apartment complexes)
I also really enjoy the additional / optional variable talkback on mine!

I guess you could put a high drive amp behind a 4600 turbo too?

Ask Mr. RA if a General Lee running a 400 watt amp is less touchy / temperamental than a SWP 4600 turbo.

[Phaze91460]

I can tell ya that the 4600 turbo aint twitchy, not mine anyway, Smoooooooth as silk!

But, would like to know what kinda amp would work good with it.

Ya never know...................................

Phaze,

What do you want to do? Skip off of Mars?

Mr. Phazemaster?

[Phaze91460]

Was thinkin smaller, maybe the moon first, then.................



I have found in the 2 days I have been back mobile that there are a LOT of big radios around here. Might not hurt to put a little more fire in the wire. But I aint hurtin, well, not me anyway. What was it the cowboy said about pain ?

[Falkon MX-5]

haha you wanna see a moon bounce? Let me put 1.5kW through a dish on VHF and I'll bet the moon will say "ouch"

[bazookajoe]

i would say what the heck.. and get the 4600... and a 12 pill to drive the 64 pill... :Peace!:

[Mr RadioActive]

How'd we start talking about EME skip?!

Im with Thumper........Id buy both! LOL, JK

[Big Guns]

I'd buy both too if I had the money. How bout if I buy one and you give me the other one.

[SmallTruckBigRadio]

Phaze, What do you want to do? Skip off of Mars?
Mr. Phazemaster?

RA,
Some guy called SmallTruck... was asking Phaze why he would even consider putting an amp behind a SWP 4600....aka bouncing off of Mars...Moon...etc.
...and next thing you know, were getting ready to drill holes through the moon!
