    Penatrator 500

    Thanks Doc, I forgot to add that the SWR is 1.5 on 27.555 where I usually operate. I did talk to a few locals and gave me some good reports. I did notice a lower noise level on the 500. Much better than the I-max 2000. Almost as good as the 4El quad. Joey

    Varmint XL 350

    Sirio Vector 4000 vs 827

    Hotrod, My first I-max snapped too and it was only a 50/60 mph wind. I had the old Sigma 4 and loved the performance but didn't hold up to well in the wind. I'm leaning toward the Maco 5/8 or possibly the 827.

    Ranger RCI 6900F 150

    I have a 6900F 150 and love the radio. The radio does 150/w but the only thing is that it has low audio. I only run SSB with the stock mike and the radio is stock. Doing some research I found that the audio limiter is Q-39. With all my radios, I never cut the limiter just mod them correctly...
