    Anyone running the Sirio P5000 in their mobile

    I run them on my semi, love em. I have used Wilson, k40, francis, predator 10k, hustler and many others. In the power level I run I could not be happier. They have excellent receive, and can take 800 watts everyday all day. Just beware these are very tall. The tips on my semi are at 14 feet...

    Educate me on Bird elements

    I am new to bird meters myself, so very interested in the answer. I would think it would be fine since with either element being close to the edges of their working limits of them on either slug.

    uniden 980 discontinued

    If that is true, but I doubt. I would have to say lack of sells would be the reason, not another line.
