Made my first Indiana contact just running the Raw power of the Q6 Pro in my Cobalt today so that was different for a change but I was on top of one of our knobs. Like they say Even a Blind Squirrel gets a Nut Sometimes. LOL

His web site is still running. https://truckscbsales.com/

Skip was suppose to be poor today but as I was showering to get ready to go to a friends viewing that passed away the 2547 was banging it out but the plate was full today so could only listen even on the mobile. I will say as much as I don't really care for my location I feel fortunate I don't...

Was thinking of you and hoping you weren't in that wild fire area. I don't wish that on anybody !

Thanks for the heads up but I disconnected my antenna a couple days ago because they keep predicting scattered thunder storms & where there is thunder there is lightening. The weather has been crazy lately. First it was hot and dry & the lawns burnt up. Now we're back to crazy rain storms with...

I know the feeling. A couple days ago DX was lousy but I managed to squeeze out a contact with my DX 2547 and the Turner Super Sidekick that I re-wired and I did get the Side Kick sounded good. So I was thrilled to hear that. The Old Dogs chasing a Bone ! LOL

I'm still wondering why someone isn't making a new Base Station. The market is flooded with mobiles. My buddy wants a new Base station to get back in the game but his only choice is a Ranger that is a copy of the DX-2547. And Rangers reputation has went down hill lately. Seems as if Anytone...

I hope you used Di-electric grease when you installed it for added protection. I don't have a paypal account or I would have bought them also but my double female & double male worked out and I had them in stock already. Enjoy !

The mobile and base seem to be rocking today but for some reason I couldn't connect. But had enough on my plate so didn't worry about it much.Better days coming !

You know what they say about Murphy's Law ( If it can go wrong it will ). That's why I went with Solid connections. I come from the maintenance field and always preached Murphy's Law ! LOL

These are available out in the wild or you can use a double male & double female like I did to solve the problem.

Yeah I was having some Short skip this morning (southern east coast) but the plate was full so I listened for a bit. Better days coming !

I flipped the base and mobile on a few times being nosy and heard some skip that might have been workable but my Grandsons graduation party was the name of the game today. Tomorrow is purchase oil change supplies for my little Cobalt. The heat wave and the Canadian wild fire smoke has been a...
