PHEW! LOL! Worried there for a little bit. Really working as it should now. Just using a stock Galaxy DX979 with a schottky receive diode in it tuned and aligned. Not to many on around me but S4~5 10 miles away at friends base and already got out about 25 miles today. Might do the outside ground one day, but first time base here and waiting to see how it goes a bit. Mostly run mobile as when I get a base I get carried away and have issues in the city here LOL. Run a 955 with a Carl Built 400HD on LMR400UF out to a Predator 10K K-1-17 on the roof of my jeep normally. Thanks again.
