I like my President George radio from Scotts. Will most likely get the QT60 from him also. I like the looks and hear it's a good radio.

The Digi Mic has been sitting on the shelf for over a week now. Since I did some switching around of radios, the time has come to install and test. Decided to attach it to the George FCC instead of the McKinley. The mic feels good in hand and weights a bit more than the stock mic. Did a...

I was caught off guard to see the mail man come down the driveway on a Sunday. But happy to say they delivered my antenna. Will open the box tomorrow and make sure everything is there and not damaged. Not sure when I will put it up. May wait until early spring.

I did see them both on Walmart and eBay. I believe they are either both the same company or DNJ fulfills their orders. Either way, I ordered one and saved some coin. Hope the post office does not tear it up in delivery.

Currently, my main CB antenna is the iMax-2000. It's been up for 5 years and handles the storms with no issues. For the shop, I have the A-99 and it has been up for almost 10 years - no issues. The SWR is 1.2 or less on both antennas. As stated in an earlier post, the tuning rings should be...

I see BuyAntenna.com has both the 2016 and V4k in stock - at least on their website. I sent an email just to make sure.

Have a question about your Vector 4k experience. Is the vertical element a thinner aluminum and have a tendency to lean over with little to no wind?

That's what I was thinking bolts would be the best. Thanks All I have to do is keep my eyes out for one in stock at a good price.

Looking through the manual for the Sirio 2016 brings up a couple of questions: Anyone experience any issues using the screws that are used to assemble each of the vertical sections of the vertical whip? Looks like they have a tendency to get loose and back out. Would blue Loctite help without...

I considered the 4k. But after hearing that it does not do well in high winds, I marked it off the list. We do get occasional high winds in summer storms and ice in the winter.

I have bought a few radios off Amazon. No issues. Thinking of ordering another.

Did some researching on the 2016 and did I read it correctly that the antenna weights almost 12 lbs?

Currently I am running a few different radios on a 24' Imax-2000. I mainly monitor and not really into skip. No problems and it's working fine. Just thinking of switching out to an aluminum type antenna. The Vector 4000 is the only one that catches my eye. But the more I think about it -...

I ordered the Digimike for my McKinley -- guess I will find out.
