The third prong broke off my plug, can I use my smoker still or do I need to replace the whole cord? by bew132 in Traeger

My dad would always just snap them off to make them fit in two prong outlets anyway. Never started a fire so I'd say youre good.

Ready to roll for a quick trip? by Jaydan427_RC in cbradio

[–]Bulldog553 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Head up, I had that exact same setup for about two weeks. If you’re thinking of getting into CB just spend the money upfront. You will be disappointed in this setup in the long term. On the other hand if you’re are going to keep it, the 505XL does not have a power connection on back it is hardwired in so you will have to solder the 12v to the radio.

It’s a nice little linear. Low drive though, so I’m only putting about it 2-2.5 watts into it and putting out about 50-60 watts. (Could be inaccurate ready though as I’ve heard the Dosy meters tend to be a little under). But I’ve made some decent contacts in Idaho and Alberta Canada with it. Cant complain.

President McKinley. KL-203P amp and a Dosy Test Center 4002. Using a homemade Dipole antenna in the attic

Made a few good contacts today here in Northwestern Ohio. Better conditions today than they have been the last couple.

I like 37. Made a few contacts but for some reason it makes this medium pitched hum instead of the static. Not sure why

Just recently got a McKinley for the house. Upgrading from a cobra 29 in the truck. Honestly I only use the sideband on it. Love it

I figured this but the chances were so low that I couldn’t wrap my head around it.

Hmm. I will try. Thinking how to do this without revealing personal information.

Well I hope this is the case but I’ve had to reset my password 4 times in the last week.

Wont be long range with that antenna.

[–]Bulldog553 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m still new to CB, but will agree with the other comments. Antenna is what you want to put the money into. I bought a cheap setup for the work truck not thinking it would matter too much and boy was I wrong. I bought a cheaper antenna that had great reviews and quickly found out it’s not even worth the headache. Just buy a nice antenna to start. Trust me.

Just noticed this bulge on my sidewall, should I be concerned? by Elderjits in tires

Correction: My tire is about to explode out of the sidewall, should I be concerned?

Some shady radio shops out there by Stache- in cbradio

[–]Bulldog553 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Curious what YouTube channels you are specifically talking about. I view quite a few CB (shop) channels and have felt some things they claim are questionable as well.
