How much power and what kind of antenna did you use?

[MrDigic4]

Ik zal je effe in het nederlands aanspreken

In welk decenia was dat de jaren 70 of 80 of 90?? :)

i wonder tho how can they reach each other? must be amplified? no? the dutch law does not allow this (officially..)?

[MrDigic4]

@sebaz1982

@MrDigic4 Thank you for your information. I really wonder how this is possible. When i was much younger, I had many 40channels cb-radio with high GP antenna that i placed optimal by special antenna-meter., and i could not go further then my own city..... how is that possible!?!?!

[greydogmusic]

double the power per s unit. 4 watt s1, 8 s2, 16 s3 and so on. not 4 times power

Looks like a Midland 48XL.

These can be expanded to around 400 channels i think.

Standard they are 40 UK FM / 40 Midband.channels.

Feature packed,like scan,10 memory channels,auto squelch etc.

New price in UK is around £110. (sell very well on ebay in UK)

Seems like a noob has an overrange. That will not bring you farer. The realaistations can't give more than maximum of power away.

Hi can you tell me what the rf power adjustment is which pot pls and possibly audio too tnx.

[haansgruber]

You need to increase your power by 4 times in order to achieve 1 S unit increase. All turning the radio up will do is increase stress, heat and the chance of electronics failure.

peace :)
