Colorado B.S. Thread

That's good. Work that brain!

Yup. I'm going to try and mount my shocks today and start the skids.

 

Can a Uniden 520XL be boosted? And what exactly does boosted do to a radio?

 

Dang. Getting down here they hardly got any snow!! You can barely see it on the grass

 

im sure it can be but might need the whole unit. And as far as i know it makes your single go farther/louder?

 

Can you find out from your guy if he can do it to that unit? And if so, how much it would cost?

 

ill try seeing if he has a phone number and if he will do it. mine was 45$

 

Hey all when is the next CO trip going to happen?

 

Oh nice. I am going to get my roof rack mounted.

 

where do you take your's? Took mine to the place in Lakewood that Gramps recommended. an old timere, but he boosted my Cobra 75 from 2w(2watts modulating, supposed to be 4) to 12 and 21watts modulating.

The only radio I've heard couldn't be boosted (took several of my families to be done) was the midland one that converts from a hand held to mobile. Boosting it increases the PUSH power of your transmission. I phrase it like that because it does NOTHING to your reception. so you'll be able to be heard further out, but unless the guys on the other end, have boosted radios, you won't be able to hear them. (hence why I run a 108" whip)

he'll def need the whole unit. the 75 has all the brains in the hand held portion, the little "box" is just an adapter for the coax, it has no brains in it.

 

same place. took my cobra from 3 to 14-21 watts too.

 

Cool... yeah nice guy, I used to have tons of his cards in my truck...

wonder if he knows much about HAM... as I'm planning on making the jump. especially if I can afford it before Moab.

No that's the Food thread, buffalo chicken dip, and cake! LOL

 

FOOD!?!?!?!?!?!

 

Why did you change your avatar?

 

hahaha to screw with you. its changed like 5 times in the past week. i need to find the picture of the old truck on my phone again and put that back up

 

Leo, Thanks again for the help/supervision on the AAL install! Can't put my finger on it, and I know it's just an 1" or maybe 2" lift in the back, but the truck just feels different. a good different. and to my surprise, it didn't make the ass end like a pogo stick like it was before the rack and RTT.

 

Did someone say buffalo chicken dip and cake?

 

No problem Brandon. It was good to meet you. Ya it looked to be about an inch or two when we had it in ray's garage. We will have too see what happens when it all settles out a little. But I bet the improved performance won't change.

 

No I think it is because we figured out the true meaning of the last avatar.
