Butcher318, I think you and Marven "HIT IT" straight on....Who sets up your radio can be the biggest factor in a P.O.S. or a quality unit.. :wink: :D :D .... Not looking for "Roses" or "Crap" on this BUT: My S-3 is from the "Quack"..great service and price (Larry and Pete will answer...

Any of the "Blue light " radios draw attention at the "Shops"...I had tx problems with my S-3 and brought it to the "local shop" ( Berubes :wink: ...Mr Connex ).... I told him what was going on and then started walking around his store ( chrome shop..big boys toys :D :D :wink: ).. When...

I am sorry..BUT spending close to $700 for a radio to bounce around in my "RIG".....Why not step up to a Kenwood or a Yaesu.... :) :) If I've got that much "talk" time,might as well enjoy it on every band I "Legally" can :wink: :wink: ... I know some of todays radios are "Junk" and...

Dwall174, Can you "hard mount" it?? Two of our "Petercar" 379 tractors have Wilson 2000's directly mounted to the cab roof (the drivers got tired of tree limbs :wink: :) )......And if anything they gained in both rx/dx.....We tried mounting on headache racks but "strobe" light make too...

Not to "stir the pot"..... :) :D But FED-Ex and UPS are on another buying spree.....the "Big boys" are growing even larger and the new additions include mostly NON-union drivers....With different management styles do you REALLY think "export radios" are going to be the talk over profit and...
