Their demise is their own doing. I asked a worker if they had cb radio equipment and I got directed to a boom box. The only thing sad about it is that I think the locations are privately owned. However, their own fault for not properly training staff. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk

Very slick. Where will you get power from? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk

A little update on my setup: I picked up an rf limited 2018 mic and so far I am loving it compared to the stock mic. There has been nothing but skip during the day but from what I can get locally at night, I can get out a bit farther if not just as far as what I can receive. The other day I...

Lmao I mean from what I saw the site is just that, a bunch of rejects. On the registration it asks for the type of radio u have. I guess they didnt like my 510xl :/ Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk

I made an attempt to join the maul droppers forum the other day and upon a moderator's disapproval, my registration was denied. Anyone know why they would deny access like that at random? Upon browsing the forums it doesnt exactly seem like the place I'd like to be, but I'd still like to...

Wow that looks like a great read. Thank you for that Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk

I have a barjan 320-600 talk back speaker with a fried resistor at the volume knob. Its burnt too bad for me to be able to tell the specs on it. Does anyone have one of these speakers that they wouldnt mind taking apart for me to check the resistor or know what resistor should be used? TIA

I will look into a top mount. If it had provisions for it, I'd already have a spring and quick release under this one Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk

I actually originally wanted a bear cat. I thought they were a lot smaller than they are. I would have returned it before cutting my dash. A replaceable aftermarket din pocket is one thing, but im sure the fake wood grain is a pretty penny. The 510 actually matches my factory controls a lot...

I dont recall tbh. The swr's are even on 1 and 40. I will test again this weekend. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk

Thank you for your input and the warm welcome hotrod. The ground wire was about a foot long and I removed it after seeing the swr's jump as a result from it. I understand that the trunk is not a good mounting location. However, I just cant bring myself to deal with the asthetics of it being...

Okay I'll keep that in mind. The strap I used actually made swr's jump up above 2. I literally was using 12 gauge wire from inside the car and placed it under the magnet The antenna was moved and is currently at its tuned height. Before I got even swr's across the board 1 and 40 were anywhere...

I checked my swr's on sunday and theyre at 1.8 on 1 and 40. I suppose thats the best I'm gonna get given the setup and antenna placement. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk

I have a ground strap going from the body to the trunk although I don't believe the trunk is isolated anyway. When I'm ready for a new antenna I will probably end up getting one thats center loaded and use a trunk lip mount. I'm pleased with the magnet on the trunk now. Sent from my...

I originally wanted a bearcat but im happy with the 510, it was inexpensive and basic. The outback sedans are fairly hard to come by. It took a few months of searching to find my car. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk
