As long as your CB antenna is tuned (lowest SWR) properly, having all the coax in a bundle is fine. When going for the lowest SWR, tune the antenna - not the coax. (IE: don't cut the coax for lowest SWR. If the antenna is correct, the coax length does not matter.) Use good quality coax. If you...

A 6" spacing would be extremely close. For receive, it isn't too bad, but the CB will be used for transmit. CB is limited to relatively low power (compared to amateur or military levels) but I would be concerned with substantially overloading the front end of the broadcast and scanner radio...

Finally got out to check mine with a volt meter. At a bit over 1/2 tank, the sense line has 3.18 volts.

Finally got out to look at mine with a volt meter. As you can see, it is just a bit over 1/2 tank and the gauge has 3.18 volts to the sense line.

At half tank or 1/4 tank? As a European vehicle, it goes to "R" when there is about 70Km of fuel left. That's their Reserve setting. There is no "Empty" mark.

I think you would be cheaper to get a 24 vdc motor than trying to find an inverter with that much output. Talk to the manufactured (or a really good motor rebuild shop). Or go with a PTO hydraulic pump.

http://www.powerstream.com/dc1.htm I have used the PST-D24/12-800 for 4 years without any problems. I run several radios in my Pinzgauer (amateur radio and commercial/public service) along with 12 volt lights and the assorted GPS, cell phone chargers, etc that we all want in our toys. As for...

I would be almost certain you would need to build your own adapter. Maybe find a "parts radio" with the connector and make the adapter(s) for whichever rigs you use.

Maybe the name was Dan Robbins? And that would be a 712AMB model Pinz. My kids ran across him on the side of the road somewhere in AZ or NM. His fuel gauge died around Phoenix and he was carrying the can toward the next exit. They did stop and give him a ride to the station - and back.

I want to use the military antennas for both my future CB radio and now for my am/fm. - ssdvc Could you put a tee in there and use one antenna for both? - wilfreeman If there is a transmitter involved, something must be done to keep the power from entering the receiver. There are 2 reasons for...

My Pinz had idle "issues" until I noticed that one of them was loose at the body/throttle base. Repairing that seems to have fixed most idle problems - and a bit more power on hills! The screws had become loose and wallowed out their threads. I epoxied the holes and installed Helicoils and life...

This sort of question is seen often. Just because the radio can transmit, does not mean that you are authorized. Think of it as highways and road systems. We have rules and control devices to facilitate orderly movement of vehicles and traffic. On radio frequencies, something similar exists in...

"Threads for the South" (http://www.tftsonline.com/) in the Atlanta, GA area was a great source for any type of fastening device; screws, nuts, washers - and in almost any grade or material. Their web site is just a page with phone numbers and addresses but I would assume they sell over the...

To Paul, aka undysworld: I read a bunch of the web pages regarding the WisDOT fight - and listened to the aural arguments at the hearing. I can't thank you enough for taking on the task - and winning. Had this sort of situation propagated to other states, the whole MV hobby of ours could have...

I got mine from SwissArmyVehicles in Arkansas. It came with the AR title and I drove it back home to TN with a temp paper tag in the back window ("K" model). When I got home, I went to the county vehicle license place where I traded the AR title for a TN title and registration. *YMMV* Pinz...
