Putting a camera near the high power transmitter is not a good idea

That is not a CB antenna. From its size I guess 430 MHZ Ham band.

All 3 elements are driven not just 1 omini mode. But not horrible antenna if you can get it 50ft or more. But not great

That was me

lets give the yutuber his view and respect what he says,its obvious hes done is home work.my dad when alive had every antenna on the market.he bought the siggy 4 and we built it and got it resonant on 555 its swr was 14 channels either side ,..and we had a cheap antenna tuner,we even had the avanti switcher box.he had a 3 elebeam.the siggy 4 worked better than any of the other antennas.no hatred from this way youtube is free and we should respect all said.ive a vectra 4000 up now 10 feet on a pole and it works better because i like ground wave,when the american cb midband opens up the sigma 4 works better.before that it was on a scaffold pole,my freind put it up for me for free.thanks for yure video

It’d be real news if Son of CB managed to keep it going for 47 years until now.

Little Darren would be 50. Wonder if he’s still Rot Rotting? If so, let’s hear from you my man!

Nice radio broadcast

Darren = Rot Rot

“South side CB’rs” 💀

The kid sounds just like Rot Rot. Coincidence??

If they thought that was outrageous and unlawful transmission then they’d blow a gasket hearing the nonsense on the airwaves now 😂.

God Bless Texas!

I miss Cb's shortwave radios and prank calls we had a blast when we were young .

idiots like idiots do ruin everything. They killed CB for a lot of people me included.

Well the child is now possessed 😂

Back in the late 80’s early 90’s as kids we used to have so much fun on the CB’s honing our shit talking skills.

One of the funniest things ever - thank you for posting this! Rot Rot :)

The '70s were even weirder than I thought. 🙂

So, Rock Rock was a CB troll?

Soooooo it was the kid all along. Cheeky devil

😂

Would not live through Utah Winter I MAX 2000 fiberglass best choice for me!

You should have gone back another 500 yards.

The moonraker 4 was a great antenna back in the 70’s till ice storms hit. A guy actually had a moonraker 8 and it was huge. My ground plane was a Astro Plane and it held up for years. All out of business now.

333 mud duck!

Nice Dan!

Very interesting and informative.soldier boy 101 on RUclips, keep up the good work 👍.

I love The BBQ Man. Such a great guy and great food.

Back in the day a run a moonraker 6

Man this is too cool. I wish I lived closer to get some BBQ. This is what made this country. I remember when places all up and down the interstate had CB radios and would always be talking to truckers. It’s what built America.

Ok guys...c'mon now! We all know maybe its not worth it, or maybe we should all just just put up a $3000 tower and multiband beam, or buy a legal limit $2,500 amplifier ..blah blah blah. If you listen real close in his video...he literally kind of mimics many of your thoughts too in regards to knowing maybe it will have no real benefit to most. However..this is an educational video and some may love this. maybe that 1/2 an s unit means something to them..maybe they have a special homebrew amp that likes to be driven a little harder..who knows! The point is this is radio and its neat to see someone actually put out a well made video with charts and stuff. Now....i can say personally ive done the alc mod. Why you ask? Because when i buy a radio that is supposed to put out 100 watts....i want 100 watts....not 60-70 watts from the factory like almost all icom 7300's put out. Those are facts. I've done this mod to 8 different icoms over the last 5 years and every single one put out........wait for it....60-70 watts from factory. So...instead of telling Z28 what a tool he is for putting out this video and that it's worthless...let's all email Icom instead and have them send out radios with correct wattage. (oh...and before the real hatred spews forth....all my wattage measurements were done with: telewave, daiwa, bird, ifr meters...so spare me the "you need to use a real meter" crap.) All that being said..thx again Z28 for the video and lets all have fun in this hobby!!!!

this is reckless advice

Risk your finals for negligible benefit! No way.

It's a complete waste of time. A antenna change could be way more beneficial.

Why? For what?

What a waste of time.

If you want more power, measure DOSY watts

According to the Signal vs. Power relationship, increasing to 150W is negligible for the receiving station and extremely stressful for the final power stage of the transmitter.

what made the sigma 4 great was the power behingd them

Glad you posted this....I'm using a 12.3 volt switching supply and getting about 65 watts out....I was kind of thinking it was related to input voltage.

Great video . Clear and concise information. Question: Does the built in BMS support hot and cold temperature shut off ? Do you have an option that comes bundled with a UPS and/charger?

Very cool battery!! Thanks for sharing this vid!!

The CB talk gibberish comments... Lol

But IMPOSSIBLE LIGHT!?!

RF ACR

You don't know what your talking about

As a person with MANY decades experience.?.i can ABSOLUTELY call BS. The radio would have been fired.....

Lmfao!!!! I remember back in the days keying up and comming through my neighbors toaster oven 1500 watts through a 102 in my work van, and sittin in front of subway keying up as the emergency lights going off and on and the immigrant sub maker thinking the gods were talking to him and my son laughing his ass off!!! GRIZZ STATE WIDE!!!

how did you remove the shift beeps???
