Well still thinking about it. I really want to get a 1600 or (8X or mos equiv.). However I read that it wasn't really good to run a 1600 with a DX979 4 watt radio which is the main radio I will be using. So not sure now. I would also like something with power switches to turn down if desired. If...

I was searching for amps and came across LDMOS amp boards but its for 50 volts from what it looks like but it was fairly cheap for the amount of power 1,2,3 KW and he did say something about dropping the volts. I did ask if he would make it into a mobile and he wouldn't lol. This is way off my...

Different size shafts are different lengths but not by much. I read in one of many posts where the technician was saying that the 17 inch shaft on the predator is a better choice because of the length of the shaft compared to the top shaft above the coil and what the lengths of each should be.

All my test results have come to be longer is more and less is less, lower coils for short distances higher coil for longer distances. stainless steel whip could be number one or number two compared to a Predator 10-K 27 inch shaft which on my vehicle on the roof beats out the whip with receive...

Totally forgot about the field strength testing. Haven't done one of those since I had that old Radio Shack meter with the antenna thing lol. Good idea though., thank you.

Well from what Ive learned to believe is the predator is better for being up high "raining" down on people and the receive is great and an antenna like a Skipshooter top load has a different pattern more for distance and the receive is a little quieter. Myself I have used a Skipshooter way...

Wasn't DX. It was a base station and a mobile both about 5ish miles away. I do get skip from both antennas.

So once again I was doing some antenna testing with both these antennas and I had the predator on and I was hitting a stationary mobile with a one and a half on his meter and I switch to the skip shooter and I was doing a two. I went back to the predator and was back down to one and a half. At...

Oh yeah i remember those.

Whenever anyone says something stupid I just tell them its ok, touch it lol. They don't. Couple girls at work said it was a big antenna and I said yes it is LOL. Mind you I work at a gov complex. I just got asked two days ago from a cop in town where i have lived for 13 years now and he said he...

Yeah people discussing it on their FB page lol. I think its retarded if you ask me. I always thought having electric around an antenna wasn't a good thing. Maybe it amplifies the signal, lol. To each their own I guess. I wouldn't buy it, and not just because of the light.

Whip, Predator27, Skipshooter(6ft)...

My main antenna has been with Predator 27 inch shaft although I do use some of the other shafts when I needed a little bit shorter length and i have also read the 17in is the one to use because of the shaft length and above coil shaft length so i use that driving around. My next best antenna...

If you're talkin about that Stryker antenna I do believe the newer ones light up blue and people are already warning about checking state and local laws on getting stopped and ticketed because you have a blue flashing light on the top of your vehicle.

With my Predator with the 27 inch shaft on my anytone at-6666 highest and lowest Channel goes to 2.3 from 1.0. on 1, 40, and 20.

I have a 102 inch with a 12 inch riser when I tested it locally my Predator with the 27 inch shaft actually beat the 102 by a hair on the needle in transmit. Receive of that local station was the same on the meter but on the whip the receive sounded a little quieter.

The skipshooter changed more than the Predator.

I kind of like the quietness in the receive as long as it's quiet because it should be not because of the antenna type and being covered with whatever plastic the Skipshooter wire is covered with. With that being said on my tests the transmit was the same for both but the test station was local...

I am going to be selling this. Feel free to message me if interested.

Yes I have seen both the new ones. I am not against it. Im no tech but after years of not being manufactured and selling for what i see as a ridiculous amount of money for something now really old like red dots. To me good stuff is worth it, to a point.
