Love the videos and your humor!! I ordered this power cord on Monday. He said it comes with a diode I can have put in but Zane said without it it would be just fine. I’m excited! Thanks again!!
Pondering if you could 3d print the plug to accept bigger wires and crimp/solder the heavy gauge directly to some compatible pins look like a molex type... really I know it can be done just needs to be designed if it hasn't been already.
All of those things that you highly do not recommend, I'm going to do, right here at home lol. Kidding! Seriously though, nice demonstration. Keep on with the keeping on. 73's
I had no idea you have a 300 + lb ass BBi! 🤣😃 Love the 955 man! These are my favorite radio by far even in stock trim. Mine lost a good bit of volume yesterday in the dump truck with smell of burnt electric at the speaker jack.
I knew and had already planned on doing some power cable upgrades on my mud duck station here in vegas, but i had wondered how much difference it would really make. You just showed me, and it is more than i thought it would be. Again, you have educated me, as you always do. KUDOS!!! Diver, in Vegas.
Stands to reason. Back in the days when people had those cars and trucks with huge stereos in them, they had a wonderful product called Monster Cable, and also power caps and tuned amplifiers, Make huge sound but it was clear.
Back in the day, I had 4 gauge wire going from my battery to a distro block, and then about a foot of 8 gauge going to each amp. I had several farad of capacitance because without it, the whole car would dim to about 50% with every bass note. I think I had a total of about 5kW for the whole system, so not crazy, but even at that modest level, the large power wire and caps weren't optional.
the only problem with having a bench radio that allows you to go into clipping with the mic gain turned all the way up is that you now have to flash the camera over to the radio every time you show the output of an amp to show that the mic gain is indeed still in the middle and not turned up in order to show increased output numbers. the radio may seem more versatile but you have added another burden of proof to what is shown in the videos.
The signal level coming out of the vfo is lower than the signal level from the crystals in the mixer stage for frequency generation. If you can increase the signal level output from the vfo it will bring your tx power back up.
I wanna talk about this thumbnail.... lol what exactly is that all about? I scanned the entire video looking for what looked like a electronics vault, haha
Must be poor solder job done on my (10 ga)wire upgrade..I had a shop do that upgrade but NOT touch any tuneing..I did chk resistence on my wire from connect of radio down to my rigs batterys and all is good...So must be how it was soldered to the inside..
Being a 48-year veteran RF Technician and having repaired and or modified somewhere around 30 thousand radios over that time I have become a real expert at reading my customers and I never suggest and or give them more than they can handle when it comes to this kind of radio setup which I have been providing for more years than I can remember. There is a simple truth one must follow when doing this kind of work don't hand a customer a 429 BOSS when all they can handle is a RAMBLER CLASSIC. Just saying!! and yes I know the cars I mentioned date me.
@@deltatangoelectronics8598 Yeah she was fine. Mom's car was silver and had a black interior. Had a straight 6 engine which was bulletproof, never broke down.

Can you get me a Longhorn Superior N6 and set it up? Then ship it to me. Not sure if you do that kind of stuff but I trust your work. I cant get a response from Screwdriver so I figure I will check someone else.
No response as usual. This is why people go to Walcott and other horrible places to buy a CB. Its because the knowledgeable people DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO BUSINESS!!!
Very good demo of what starving a radio vs feeding it decent does for voltage drop!!
love that silicone wire, like angel hair!
Power wire change a must on these! Great video
Mr. Luke: Congratulations 🎊 on your new 955 bench radio. ALL THE BEST 👍 👌 😍 🥰 ☺ FROM N.J. ( TMP ).

Wow , love the new shop very nice i would enjoy browzing throw anyday !

Interesting for sure. A local guy here does the wire upgrades as well. I've done these power wire upgrades to my whole shack
NO SUPER DUPER AUDIO! 😵😵😵
Great demonstration Luke. Thanks.
Thanks for another great still-side chat BBI.

I have a v1 and I love it but it has alot of ground noise or whatever. Kinda wanna try the v2 I’ve heard it’s much better and not as much voltage drop
Super incredibly awesome from the BEST GUYS around ....BBI don't play....
I need to make up 8 gauge wire at work today
Good video mr Luke

I just figured out how power wire can make a difference, with my radios.
Well said Mr. BBI..... There's a few techs doing that to other techs especially on UA-cam!!
One of them likes to change the channel knob on the 955. LOL, yeah that guy.
Hard drive 163???? Lol

Wondered what happened to Mr. black. Heard him a few years ago and could never get to him with barefoot.

@@SilentGloves hate to break it to you but that's not huge wire bud lol. That's the type of wore you'd use for A little 1000 watt amp
Funny. Very funny.
What brand of wire is it
lol there be some weird sales pitches on on 19 not saying names lol
I love his work, but I prefer external echo controls. Everything else he does is amazing!

Is the radio getting hot ?
I know you don't like Eagles but, what can I do to get more power thru VFO? When I attach my Siltronics 90 my output fall flat on its face? Help!!!!
The signal level coming out of the vfo is lower than the signal level from the crystals in the mixer stage for frequency generation. If you can increase the signal level output from the vfo it will bring your tx power back up.

If your such a tech, why did you need D-Rail to do a radio for you?
Sorry I thought I explained that in the video..
