    Appreciate it.

    Just ordered the Sirio 2016. Good move or not?

    I need to ask again because I just want to make sure. Working between rain showers here. And supplies which should arrive today. Every thing on this assembly was self evident, except how far to slide the main whip into the lower part of the antenna. I don’t see any indicator, other than when I...

    I used blue locktite on the screws. I’m almost there. I’m going to use shrink tube on the joints. Not sure on sealing the bottom one that has the clamp. I think I’ll have to order bigger shrink tube then what I have here and go over clamp and all. What I have here is some seriously tough stuff...

    Just ordered the Sirio 2016. Good move or not?

    That is good to know. I had a hygain many years ago. I think I left it on a house I was renting. Don’t really remember what became of it. I don’t remember super being in the name, probably a different antenna. Hy gain penetrator!!!

    My lord, shipping is agonizingly slow on this thing. Today would be a good day to test it. the wind here is unbelievable.

    Sirio Bull Trucker

    Well that will work. I’m debating installing the Q6 permanently just can’t come up with a good place to mount it in my car.

    Sirio Bull Trucker

    I have the 3000 came in a package deal. Haven’t used it yet, well short of slapping it on my car with my atQ6 and the dedicated 12AH worth of lifepo4 battery I use portable with the Q6. Quick attempt at tuning rendered 1.5 on both ends 11m. Did you ever figure out how the disable the light show...

    Blackstar fly3 for external amplified speakers?

    Well it works and sounds really good when I run them on the internal batteries. But when I use the power supply I get a constant humm and talk back when I transmit. Jury is still out.

    Blackstar fly3 for external amplified speakers?

    Thinking about trying this but I have no clue if I should. I’ve seen people use them with success on a PC. I believe they are 10W each, if I recall.

    Hmmm, I would like to see that video. Don’t know why it didn’t come up in my searches.

    Just ordered the Sirio 2016. Good move or not?

    That’s good to hear. Because we got some outrageous winds down here in this part of Texas. Tell me that every time a front comes through. I’m praying my 80 foot pine tree doesn’t come down. I take it you’re happy with the performance of your 2008. I just want something I can put up there and...

    Just ordered the Sirio 2016. Good move or not?

    Yes, I think I’ve read everything available on the Internet before making the choice. If not, I came pretty dang close to reading everything. as long as my neighbors don’t drive by and shoot down I think I’ll be good to go.

    Just ordered the Sirio 2016. Good move or not?

    Yup, I got tired of my rinky-dink homemade antenna that did OK, but I kept fiddling with it. Which was fun while it lasted. Put it on the flat side and then on the vertical side and it did all right. Just couldn’t help but take the plunge. I’m just getting back into this and really don’t want to...

    2-6AH lifepo4 in parallel?

    Wow, that’s a nice set up. Looks like a lot of thought went into that.

    2-6AH lifepo4 in parallel?

    Thanks, that’s what I was hoping for. Those 2 little batteries weigh next to nothing and come in very handy at times.

    Anytone at-5555n II (version 2)

    LOL I definitely resemble that remark!!! Made a local contact with a driver a few nights ago, and noticed my echo was on, I thought I turned it off, but what I did was completely changed bands. I couldn’t understand why he wasn’t coming back to me. Lol.

    2-6AH lifepo4 in parallel?

    My question is will 2-6AH lifepo4s in parallel be sufficient to use my AT-quad 6 for maybe an hour? I have 2–27AH also in parallel but they weigh like 13 pounds. I figured someone here would know. Thanks in advance!!!

    Anytone at-5555n II (version 2)

    DX was well beyond what I ever really expected. I had multiple long conversations with quite a few people. Receive was great. It’s on the ground right now cause I’m working on my old push-up pole. Like 50 years old. Last an10a I had up on it was an Antron 99. Which completely disintegrated...
