If I had a big setup I'd be proud of it but I'm still a card carrying member of the low power tribe.

Redwarrior- NOW that is a BIG radio! I want that mual-u-lator board.

$550 plus you have to have all the external audio gear, mics, amps etc, plus you need to supply a heatsink, case and power supply for the board plus have the knowledge to hook it all up. he sells you JUST the board.

I would say what a rip. it did make a big difference though. I am not sure it is any better than an astatic mic and a quality tech doing mods to the rig for clarity. I know my cobra sounds beaver dam clean for a 29 because of all the work I let my tech do.

Drop him an email. He sells them. A number of folks on the Bowl use them including Prime.

those are some awesome setups, the suburban with 4 antennas on it probably sounds great. but are those all cb antennas or does he have some ham sticks on there?

Now that is some big radio set up's. I can remember when radio's in the Jax area were alot smaller and the most power was around 10k back in 1976 when I was stationed a Jax Navy base. Boy, what a change. Nice Pics.

how can they have competitions / meetings like the ones in these pics?? where is the FCC? I don't worry about the FCC showing up at my door for my barefoot 10 meter mobile....but why arent they messing with these guys running 5000+ watts? i would never get away with it.

It's like anything really. I see lifted pickup trucks with no mud flaps, bumpers that are illegally high, engines that don't meet emission standards, the list goes on....but they never seem to get into any trouble....I ran a gigantic MM4 on one of my trucks with a Fatboy 5 pill sitting on the sit for over a year. Parked it next to cop cars from time to time. NOBODY ever said anything to me. I've been pulled over....nope nothing nadda....DOSY meter insight right next to my radio and fatboy 5 pill. I don't think they really care unless their gettting complaints.

Now ask a HAM( I shouldn't generalize sorry...some hams) that question and your going to get a totally different answer....they are gonna tell you that your going to jail for years and your house will be confiscated.

I know if I can find break list, the FCC can too. So I guess Cb breaks are not high priority.

BUMP!!

I'll bump. What's considered a big setup these days? I'll assume that if you're not rolling with a 5kw carrier, you need not post? Just as in the race car/street car world, there is a difference between a real daily driver setup and a "race only" or "keydown" setup. My guess, daily driver, a few kw in a reliable package is big, but as soon as I mention it 5 people will mention how they have 10 20kw mobiles that operate everyday in their area. Many of us can volt something and come up with 5kw for a few seconds, but who's really out there talking? I'd like to see some of that myself. Talk is cheap.

I totally agree Dr. lets see these setups that can key 20kw and do that on a DAILY basis without burning the car or shack to the ground!!!! Come on guys, we know youre out there!!!

It's not that they can't find the Key Down events...That part even a dummy could figure out.

Just guessing I don't guess you have ever been to a Key Down...

I can just see some FCC Field Agent showing up at a Key Down ready to confiscate everyones radios, and when he steps out of his car, there's a couple hundred drunk Redneck CB'ers there ready to tell him different...

[420Snowman]

Click Click, I want to see these big radios everybody talks about!!!
