    Just looking for info on how to figure out what year a Cobra 148 GTL or a Cobra 2000 GTL was built by looking at the serial number. The 2000 I am asking about is 73000653 and has a black 12 volt plug on it. Any help would be awesome , thanks very much

    Marconi comparing New Top One vs. Old Top One

    This is true, I did not have my Imax set up with a ground plane at all, only a choke with good rg213.

    Marconi comparing New Top One vs. Old Top One

    Although I don't have much experience I do agree with Homer. I have found my Top one has a 2 S unit less noise floor as compared to my IMAX with my local contacts holding the same signal level or maybe a tad better.

    Marconi comparing New Top One vs. Old Top One

    Thanks Marconi, I was curious about the height. My mast is 27' high and I had an Imax2000 mounted on it. That put it about 51' feet to the tip. I'm happy that I mounted my Sirio Top One on the very same mast at 27'. The Top one mounts roughly 8' 9" leaving the total at almost 36' to the tip...
