I monitor RPU Channel 1 for band openings into the SoCal Valley and have recently started seeing this within the bandwidth for that Channel. Seems a neighbor got a high-end stereo or television back when Serial DB-9, SPDIF and Win 3.1 were King...

Being new to DX'ing FM, I got some things wrong during the contact (Lance's name), but things are looking up. Still exciting to find a new use for the old radio. I'm not certain exactly how many watts that I'm putting to the antennas. Maybe 60 or 70. I'll have to check what my power out is on FM... 492 Sioux Falls Mobile

Very beautiful radio, and I also have a yaesu ft 707 radio at home ☺️🖐️👍👍
Absolutely love this could I have possibly how far apart do you have the whips and what are you using for cold-phased coax? Is it 75 ohms and do you have it set up where it splits off and then you have it on each radio your upper radios for the center core and then your shield for your lower ground rods or radials?
Thanks for the interest. It's my version of John Winegards "MB-27 MULTI-BEAM" phased array antenna from 1960. Originally designed for the television RPU Band at 26MHz. Phasing is variable and remotely controlled. It can be used in Omnidirectional, Bi-directional or Directional depending on how it's phased, all remotely controlled from the operating position. Both antennas are independently and continuously driven based on phasing and pattern desired. Element separation is 4'. The phasing harness has multiple tuned stubs within the boom that includes multiple variable impedance matching networks that are switched remotely. Impedance varies from 20-150 ohms unbalanced. It's balanced at 52 ohms. Bandwidth at its designed frequency is 9MHz if I remember right. I have it mounted in a fixed position on a balcony for this video, but it would benefit use of a rotator when used directionally. Some day I would like a stack of ...more of them. I envision 4 sets of stacked pairs, with each stacked pair on a rotator and all four stacks rotated as one antenna in a steerable array. ...someday.
Nice mobile station, what antenna are you using?
Over complemented machine. Get a power magnet mini.
😂😂😂 Steve, just give up the hobby. Your squeaky voice is annoying as f*ck
Ancient equipment😂 Terrible setup, you couldn’t even route the coax and power cables. You lard a$$es are just lazy bums and it’s hilarious‼️😝
Another useless channel, and that’s saying the least.☑️😂
Lmao, man you need to upgrade your lifestyle. This place is a dump and that station of yours is a JOKE😂
This is a barsteward. This problem took me two days to fix. But fix it Idid. You need a 'scope or VTVM. Lovely wireless none the less. Bw Mike.
I just bought one at a thrift store for $10. Haven't tried it out yet.
We are headed for destruction, the plan been the same since British took back USA in 1900s it’s being implemented you want save the kids future stand up, this is not interesting it’s their sign
No audio
this is graphs showing data going across specific frequencies ? Is this ham radio stuff ?
Cant wait for the audio!
No audio coming. I mistakingly turned the audio Off before I started recording and did not realize it.
Was there going to be an audio version, also what is the nature of the anomaly?
Whats the point of this? I don’t understand.
Me neither but looks cool I'm usually around 70cm
There was unusually high amounts of digital traffic, much of it very widebanded, normally not seen in this part of the spectrum, on Thanksgiving Day. I attempting to show some fellas in the state of Washington what it was that I was talking about over the air in the video. But, I failed to record the audio... Without the audio, it would appear confusing. I agree. I'm in South Dakota. The fellas that I was describing what we're watching in this video are in Washington. They couldn't see what I was seeing (what we're seeing on the screen here), so I had told them that I would put the video up and they could see what I'm seeing as we were talking.. It's unfortunate that I had mistakenly turned the audio Off on my video capture software. I didn't realize that I had done that.. It was all very intensely interesting at the time it was happening.
Hello, im the operator you spoke with from washington state this morning. "WA823" this is some crazy stuff 🤔 and very interesting. Thank you so much for posting .
Hey, HI! I'll be re-uploading this video shortly. For some reason the audio did not take when I converted it. But we're all in there. Check back in a day or so and I should have the re-upload posted. Yes a very strange day with this part of the spectrum. I'm still not clear as to what it all was about.
I've now realized after many attempts of converting the MKV file over to MP4 that it was not the software failing to produce the audio upon conversion. I had inadvertently turned the audio Off at the capture software, thinking it was my external microphone that allows me to annotate on top of the video screen capture. I apologize. I really wanted you fellas to hear yourselves in there.
You could use an AI like Riffusion to convert the image data to audio.
Thanks man , been through many of these rolling machines,always bought new till now. I just used an old refrigerator magnet placed in the proper spot , problem solved. You da man ! 👍👍
I have the same problem. I don't know what to do. Have you not yet resolved It?
What program are you using on the tablet for it to work Thanks
You are a genius!!! Thanks to your help I fixed my tobacco machine...Thank you from Spain
I tightened the nuts a 1/2 a turn and that worked for me.
Wow ! Had been going crazy trying to roll a cigarette ! What an amazing and super easy fix. Thank you so much for posting 🤩
Yep , now you can see it thinking .
I just did this and used masking tape until I built up enough to shim it and it works great now!!!!! It was jambing up on every cig and couldn't get a full one for anything. I agree the grease guy is a freaking joke, cigs are bad enough without smoking the grease.
Glad it worked for you. 👍 If the tape compresses and it becomes increasingly difficult again, just replace the built-up tape with a piece of metal that won't compress. The pivoting wear will still continue to increase over time, so we just increase the shim thickness over time to counter it. 👍
Indeed your Absolutely Right.. I have the AR-3500 100 version.. The history of this radio is fascinating, Sam Lewis and others involved in it's development was special, I'll have to take mine out of dry dock and get r going again..
I ran dual 102s off the rear quarter panels on my old wagoneer with great results. Very directional pattern great for DX if you can aim at where you talk . At highway speeds they bend way back skewing the polarity towards the horizontal I imagine .
phony, cop want to be never will be.
How iffy are they my dad has one and he says it's really hard to use is that true??
Werry nice radio
Was this this the reason Motorola was in the CB business still ?
Not sure what you mean.. This, the 4022, predates the Mocat, but is the radio that the Mocat is derived from. It has built in speech compression, power mic, TVI filtering, noise suppression, automatic RF Gain... It's a trickle-down result of their commercial two-way experience. The mic plug, for example, could be disassembled with a ballpoint pen. It wasn't a inexpensive radio when new. Motorola had some very fancy stuff lined up for the CB market that was never produced, due to that market crashing within the next couple of years. Nearly every American manufacturer of CB's went under shortly after this radio.
@@captainmidnight5958 I know a lot of departments use a certain brand. I know Motorola was the go to for public safety and outfitting them with Motorola CB radios on top the the Motorola police radios they used. I remember when they came standard in my area for all police cars.
Do you know how to connect to 148gtl
Without having a 148 to test with, no.
Apparently they are high altitude balloons from Raven. What they're actually doing, ...only they know.
One of the two is up there again today, just west of the sun. The second one may be inline of my direct view of the sun. The solar panels on the one that I see are clearly evident.
I just noticed them this evening, but i don't have any binoculars to check them out! somebody Please tell me what they are!
TVZ??, what is this?
It's a US Ham who was booted from the 10-10 Organization years ago that still holds a grudge against the outfit. He broadcasts his call endlessly on 28.425 because of it.
RANGE ?
Check IC2 voltages per the SM. You will will probably be crazy over voltages...like many of mine. deaf or too sensitive.
I'm slightly high. I've been slightly high on the voltage more times than not, but I do very little local work. I turned it up a bit more to where I use to about where I use to keep it. I had originally used a second VR in the meter to tame it down when I mocked it up, but decided against installing it when I turned the voltage back down, thinking that I could always add it later. Now, I think I'll leave the factory meter where it's at and put a fixed resistor in the meter at a Local/DX switch. I'll just switch it In to scale it back. But, ...understand that 455 in Georgia is running a 6 element beam and 1Kw that has nowhere near a power supply that is capable of sustaining his amplifier for anything more than a handful of seconds at a time. That's his transmitted audio as a result. He starts out fairly clear and his audio degrades into a horrible mess the longer he keeps it all keyed-up. He's running one of those computer power supply homologated things with some batteries.
That was my very first CB radio base station in 1976. It worked very well and I liked the squelch for the same reason as you. I would just have a little bit of radio noise in the background. It sat on a nightstand next to my bed.
Very Nice
