I used to use the P5000 and I agree that it is the bast mobile antenna that I have used to date.

Well I am glad to see that there are those that still are trying to fix these issues. This particular issue has been plaguing this design since it was first brought out, And switching to those DEI transistors further compounded the problems. The input and output tuning & The cost and corner...

Hi all, Just curious as I have been away for some time...Has anyone still been working with these?

Hi all, I know this is an old thread...I have been away for some time. Does anyone still enjoy these?

Hey Brett, How have you been? I'm still breathing man. Give me a call when you have time, I would like to catch up with you. Eric W3NAX

Hey man, Been along time. How have you been?

This is true. I gave up on all this years ago. Good luck to you if you decide to persure it.

I have more than a few of the origonal sanyo transistors left, but have my doubts as to the real effectiveness of them. Even doing an HFE test on them and using the highest gain ones I could find, I never really seen a noticeable improvement. I wouldn't bother doing this mod on any of the...

Sounds good. Been looking for a rci2950dx second generation bipolar rig for awhile now, they seem to be getting harder to find.

Hey one five, been awhile, how ya been?

Hey man, Been a long while. the site is totally different. Now i gotta figure it out all over again. How have you been?

I have been running my Sirio for a couple years on my full size truck using the 165mm mag and have hit all kinds of things and never knocked the antenna off or damaged it.

Blew that filter cap right off the board?

Yeah, That helps.

I know that feelin all to well:(

I hear ya, I'm still planning on trying the retrofit as well. I just haven't had the time to play radio much.

My on topic answer would be that if you were lucky enough to have gotten a pr-bargan era Wilson then the only real difference would be that the 5000 will handle more power. I ran these antennas for years and I couldn't tell the difference between the 1000 and 5000 and neither could the...

I like to add that my experence with using a thicker whip on the Wilson 5000 didn't make a bit of difference in broadbanding. You would be better off having a couple of extra whips on hand for that sirio tuned to the middle of each band to extend your bandwidth..28.500, 29.500 etc.

The installation looks great! How is it performing for you?

Seems the thread went cold for awhile.
