THANKS! I'll play around with it a bit more.

I have an MFJ 259b meter that I use to check the swr's on my cb antenna's, my question is just how do you get the r= and the x= down to where you want them?

I drive an 2000 Peterbilt with the 73" uni-sleeper on it. I was thinking of mounting a 102" whip on one of the grab handles mounted on back of the sleeper. Since the sleeper is made of mostly aluminum I know that I have to run a ground wire from the frame up to the antenna bracket. Now here are...

I really didn't think so, but I asked anyway. I've always been told that you'll never until you ask! :)

I know that the Magnum S-9's are on there way out the door. I have come across some of these still for sale. My question is, Is there really that much of a difference between the regular 50 watt S-9 and the 80 watt S-980? What I'm trying to say is, Is it worth paying the extra $70 for 30 more...

OK, what if I were to use something like a 6mm eyebolt with a shoulder, run some sort of cable type lock down through the eyelets?

Last week, some idiot who thought that they needed my Magnum S-9 more than I did, stole it right out of 2000 Peterbilt. Is there some way to secure the radio to the mount so that they just can't remove it when they get the urge to take what ain't theirs because they're low on pills or cash...

My first was back in 1978. It was a Teaberry 40 ch. tube type base station. I remember it well cause the antenna I was using was an old mag mount and it was standing up on by bed leaning against the wall. Everyone that I talk to that made fun of me when I told where the antenna was at. As far as...

I getting ready to purchase a Wilson antenna and I wanted to know which one is the better one, A Wilson 2000 or a Wilson 5000 Trucker? I'll be using a Magnum S-9 and an 18 ft coax.

Thanks, just curious!

The pete that I drive has heated mirrors on it, there is a ground wire attached to the bottom of each mirror, in which case I have ran me a small ground wire from the bottom of the mirrors, (where the ground wire is), up to the mirror mount bracket, and wha la! There's your ground!

I have the MFJ-259b antenna analyzer that I use to check and set my swr with. So, if I have a 1.1 or an 1.2 on my meter and the R & the X shows a high number, how do I get the R and the X down to where they need to be?

I drive a 2000 Pete sleeper truck everyday and I'm using a Magnum S-9 with a RK-56 mic, the antennas are the 4.5' Francis CB25 CB Antenna's. They are pre-tuned from the Francis Antenna factory so tuning it to the vehicle is usually not necessary, making it the antenna of choice for anyone...

I probably made a big mistake but I bought one of those sky thumper mic's that looks like the rk-56 on-line just little while ago. They had the best price on them so far. I paid through paypal, at least I can get my money back if I'm dissatisfied with out any problems, paypal is good for that!

Well there's a place for a coupon code on his page. If he don't intend to use coupons, then why stick it on the page? Besides I've tried calling all day to place an order and someone picks up and then hangs up. I guess they just don't want my business!

Does anyone have a coupon code for Sparky's that might save me a little $$$$? Hey it's worth a shot, right?

Is there a way to weather proof mobile antenna connections, such as the coax to the so239 bottom side of the mirror mount and the so239 to the antenna on the top side of the mirror mount? Would a high temp silicone do the trick or maybe some heat shrink? Come guys give me some advice, any and...

I agree with mackmobile43, especially the ones who miss use it over and over again just aggravate someone!

Is it possible to spray paint a fiberglass antenna any color that you want on not hurt the performance of the antenna? Something like a wilson 5 foot fgt silverload with the cap on?
