Hi I need you help

I run a cobra 29 with turbo echo and it's peaked and tuned I get truckers all upset when that echo is on

Give it time

Great Video, Greetings from South Carolina.

What is the brand/model of your dual band VHF GMRS radio? I didn’t think that combination was permitted. I did unlock my HTs, just in case, like many others do. But I don’t want to remove a resistor on my mobile.

Let's Go Brandon!

I'm curious Paul. I have the same Astatic SWR meter. I noticed that when you set the mark with the dial, you went all the way to the power mark at the end of the scale. In the instructions it states to go to the SWR mark which is at the midpoint at 12 o'clock. Which one of us is wrong. The instructions aren't clear. Thanks for the video.

I had one of those antennas for a long time. My swr started climbing after awhile. What I found was that the wire inside of the pvc started settling down. I used a small wooden dowel and a few pieces of electrical tape to keep the wire straight. Installed it back into the pipe and no more issues. I eventually gave it to a newly licensed ham radio operator, to help him get going.

Have one - love it.

Fuel piping / line will not be no problem.. There is no pressure in fuel line before or after pump.. Pump is pumping tiny amount. All this crap about green pipe is just amist.

Hey boss what gmrs radio are you using . Im looking too get a radio now i got my lic

With regard to painting the antenna, I own a DBJ-UHF antenna for GMRS. I emailed Dr. Fong and he said, “One of my students tried several paint brands. Krylon Spray paint works the best.” Hope that’s helpful.

Just got to make sure to spread the word around to start using murs radios they say either use it or lose it from what I heard this license free radio service has been around since 2000 but never took off at all for whatever reason instead stupid FRS gmrs bullshit ended up coming up‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Antennas made out of aluminum welding rods are a nice way to make homemade antennas.

roll up slim jims are great !! I use them in the field all the time

11m free band is rocking! As an SWL I imagine 40 channel is also.

05:18 what style/name of box is that? I need to snag 2 of them and clean up some cable runs.

I bought one of Ed's DBJ-UHF antennas specifically for GMRS. My version of making it look nice was to sand off the printing with 320 grit mesh sand paper and apply a Dymo label so I wouldn't have to remember which antenna it was.

Very good summary of diesel heater use. Cleaning out the burn chamber before shutdown is your best tip, this will greatly increase the time between burn chamber cleanings. Great video!!!

Wow that's just amazing, I'm in the same boat, last week, up the bloody ladder and down again, what should have taken me 1 to 2 hours, took me all day, in the heat, my SWR. When I first checked it was 1.3 to 1.2 wonderful , it's up and I Go in and check the swr again and it's up to 2 just out of the red, I looked just like you, I was done. Thanks for letting me know I'm not just the only one, cheers from ENGLAND 💯👍

Great antenna. Looks like better coax too. With mine (DBJ-1 and 60' of KMR400) I get 1.00 SWR at 462.55 and 1.03 at 467.5500. On VHF, this antenna has a steep drop. SWR of 1.74 on 154.5 but 5.01 on 157.5. You can use this for 2M ham too but it's not ideal (2.28 SWR on 146.52). At the end of the day, Height is Might. Good luck.

This video is pretty much convinced me to not bother. I got a free radio and have been looking up UA-cam videos to see how to install it but it seems like the reality is that nobody really uses this anymore. Since Waze gives better traffic advice and alerts, unless we are in a HTF scenario, I really don’t see the point in installing CB at all.

Did you make sure that you attached antenna wire to the top cap and glued both caps to PVC pipe????

SPRINKLER SYSTEM PIPE FOR THE LAWN.

Shouldn't you have the intake from the outside, so you don't make underpreassure?

What is the SWR at 144 Mhz?

Cb is okay in some applications, but on foot with walkie talkies, gmrs and even frs beats CB simply because CB walkie talkies use more batteries for similair applications, and the batteries die much faster. And frs/gmrs radios are way more compact and easier to lug around.

Uhhh you made a wrong assessment on uhf frequencies. Vhf is mainly line of sight (with exception being during good propagation). Under similar conditions, uhf will always exceed vhf as it can penetrate directly thru mountainous or hilly terrain or even city buildings depending upon air cracks in infrastructure. I would say it would be best to travel with gmrs, murs, and a tweeked cb radio; and if shi$ were to hit the proverbial fan and suddenly warp over to some Walking Dead scenario you would be in good shape. Especially if you have all the different antenna setups, including random wire, extra power cables and fuses, and most certainly batteries to power each device.

Looks like one of my CB Antennas

Repeaters are privately owned and you won't be allowed to use them most of the time.

u will find out that radio is actully a uhf australian tuned radio

I could have told you the ghost antenna STINKS! I have the 6db gain with the Magnet Mount Which is much much better!

just bought one still in box as its middle of summer in the uk well england got it for winter to work on classic mini your vid helped me on the cost but wont be in garage might be in there 3/4 hours thanks for the info

Good video, but it would have been nice if you had given details about what you were doing step by step. Example, like taking the cover off, where the screws/tabs are, etc.

I like your GMRS Base Antenna Where can I get one like it?

It depends on your antenna as to how far you can transmit.

On GMRS you will NOT hear CB'ers and on CB You won't hear GMRS because CB is low band 26-27 mhz where GMRS is High band 462-467 mhz

How did you run the cable into the house?

Lots of good advice in the comments here. Things to look out for: Ground plane issues eliminating things from the equation to see if it gets any better. Moving it away from the other antenna Coax length/quality. Along with the connectors as well The route of the coax could be too close to conductors.

Chinese never advertise the correct lumens on any part. It's probably 500

A lot of assholes on the CB. Have nothing better to do. Talking none sense

Keep up the good work! 🎉

Yes and the cell phone replaces everything else.

Just bought a 24 TRD Offroad Premium in same color as yours. Super happy with it and fell better since hearing about all of the engine issues the newer turbo motors are having. Plan on keeping it for a long time.

great video you will prob catch more on AM mode then FM at this point, Because FM was just made legal for CB radio FM i feel will help CB come back alive

`put it on comfort mode and it will cut on and off like a house unit it will not run 24/7

I wish my stop Tacoma fog lights look like what the forerunner stop all the lights look like on my 2019 TRD Sport I just really like the way the start fog lights that I don’t know what that is that rubber housing from the front when you’re looking at your lights on the Toyota four runner Toyota forerunner I love the way the they look you might have LED bulbs and this is the first video I watched of yours I’m gonna check out some more right now 👍👍👍👍

If you have the stock bulbs in there you can buy Led bulbs some really good ones that you can get a decent price on they make bulbs for your headlights everything everything your truck has they make LED bu Bulbs LastFit they actually make fog light bulb they’re calling to switch back where you couldn’t drive with your fog lights clear can you turn them off and switch them back on and it turned Amber and color but it does it make your actual lens look Amber like you’re doing now so I think you might be able to get a cheaper fog light bulb from last fit just don’t get the switch back LED just get the clear LED bulb because you already have the amber colored lenses and watch some videos on UA-cam about them they’re really nice they make really like really bright bulbs they come with the fans I think they have a two-year warranty like everybody with Toyotas most of them lasfit is a company a lot of people use
