Thank you very much for this great video and your excellent explanation of it. Answered my exact questions. I hope to reach out through skip land someday and shake your hand. I'm Sasquatch in Western Washington State.
Hey 990 God bless how do I get my swr down in my mobile, I have in place a Cobra 148gtl with a an inline swr meter,and a 5 pill with 1446s in line. My swrs read like this,, with radio alone it reads on channel 20 a flat 1 and a .1 on channel 40 and channel 1.but when I turn on my amplifier it shoots up sky hi to the end of the red part of the swr meter.on low, and it shows 110 deadkey and 150 to 175 swing and on medium it shows 150 deadkey and swings 225 watts swing , don't have enough amps to push on hi so I don't push it. But my swr with linear on is through the roof. What am I doing wrong 😢.
Thanks big moe! That’s an awesome setup, I’m waiting on my amp to get back. Im in Lucedale, ms , do you have a local tech I could take my setup too and get it matched like this? I have a shop in petal but just curious if your guy works on anybody’s I want to support him,,or your guys just do buddies 😂? love your videos and hearing you on the radio..
Hello sorry it took me so long to get back to you, im just seeing your message. I use Bird Dog in Layton Hill 7 miles west of Chatom AL. his cell number is 251 591 9952, his CB shop number is 251 847 2770 he will work on most people stuff, but don`t work on Stryker Radio`s.
Oh by the way thanks for watching my channel, I have another channel call Brush Hogging in The Dirty South it`s about me doing tractor stuff around my place if you care to check it out.
I thought you are supposed to put like 5 watts or less through the Texas Star for best results. In this video you are saying put watts from one amp into the Texas Star. Well I am completely confused now.
Okay I would like to know what is a good-sized jumper 3 ft 6 ft 12 ft? I seen one video where it was 3 12 ft jumper from radio to 2 amp to antenna coax 213....
Something that has to be tested, one amp will will like a 3 foot when others like 6. It is impedance changes the amp Sees. Closest to 50 ohm the amp witnesses the better it performs.
Alright 990 I just found your channel. Thanks for the demo. I hit all your buttons and left a like. Have a great weekend. Come visit South Carolina in D
BIG MOE WHAT UP WHAT UP FAM! That TS looking clean mean and ready to talk! YES That face plate is super super rare. I was lucky enough to have one for you :)
@@bigmoecbshow6510 lol I know how that goes man..cleaning is something that we have to do... that spring mantience cleaning i like to call it lol... great video buddy!
Hello sorry it took me so long to see your question. I myself always set the SWR'S on the antenna with just the antenna hooked to a MFJ analyzer. Once this is done, I then place all amps in line and recheck. If any adjustments need to be made, then is the time to make them. Someone else may do it differently, but that's the way I do it. So far it has been working out great for me. I'm not burning anything up. Thanks for the question, and Happy Thanksgiving
@@bigmoecbshow6510 Happy thanksgiving 🦃 as well sr. I’ve connected my amp, my SWr in line tho. I check the SWR and gives me 1.2 in all across the channels with the Amp OFF. But when I turn ON the Amp my SWR goes to 1.7, 1.8. It’s this normal or should I trim - tuned the antenna even more ? Thanks 🙏🏽
Sometimes, I'm on my other UA-cam channel when I'm not at work. You can reach me over there if not here. The channel is Brush Hogging in the Dirty South.
Thanks for the information, I really appreciate it, I'm Grave digger in Maryland,.or you can call me pork and beans,660..... Thanks again and have a wonderful Holiday with the family, I'm 10:6 back reading the world wide mail,. see ya

What s the middle box I thought it was spost to be a power supply
Does the distance between the amp and the CB matter?
👍👍👍
I what kind of Texas star

I got a on by 1x4
👍🏻
Hi there Big Moe , how big of a power supply is needed to run this setup ?
75-100 amps @13.8-15 volts dc.
U know mine will talk
I got a ?
I’m looking for a 500
It’s doing 900 watts
73s south Alabama
It’s something that you can think about
Bird dog has my number
You would drill a hole in the roof of the automobile, not the antenna, sorry about that. 🤣
U still on the radio
