Okay, I have a problem with my new tractor. It is a new International model 8600 daycab conventional. I tried a Wilson 5' Silverload on the back of the cab (got a 1.7 SWR), also tried a 10K single coil, 12" mast (set off the SWR warning light on my Magnum S6). I decided to try going to the...

Would a Monkey Made or a Predator 10K do alright on the back of a daycab tractor? If so, would I need one of the longer mast models?

I have a Magnum S-6 and love it so much I'm thinking of saving up for an S-9. (Or selling my Ranger 6300 F25 to help finance it.) The receive is excellent and everybody says it sounds great on the transmit side. I bought mine from G.I Joe's and stood there while it was tuned. I have to say, they...

I'm just a truck driver, but from what I've learned in the few years that I have been getting serious about my radio equipment, coax length only matters in certain circumstances. If you have a ground plane problem or a slight mismatch, then the length of your coax will affect the reading you...

Magnum S-6 Hey, I just bought one of these radios last week. All I can say is, so far, so good. I like the radio. It sounds fantastic and receives really well. Any thoughts on quality from someone who has owned one for a while? I run an Astatic 636 on it, Topgun switched off, mic gain about 3...

Magnum S-3 I just checked and the Quack Shack is cheaper than G. I. Joe's. I also wanted to say that I bought a Galaxy 45MP from G.I. Joe's and it could've been set up better. I took it to Fine Tune CB Shop in Lodi, Ohio. Hard Drive (Mark) did it up right. Put it on the O-scope, used a signal...

Hey everybody. I was wondering if someone could help me with my new toy. When I first turn it on (it's cold here in the Midwest), the frequency counter shows about 27.1860 on 19. After the truck and radio warm up, the counter sometimes shows all the way down to 27.1420. The shop I bought it from...

Really? I didn't notice any change in quality between my last 78ltw and my new 78elite. I really like it. My Cobra 29 runs a close second. </p>

I realize I'm a newbie on the forum, but you all have been very cordial and helpful in answering my questions, so here we go with another one: What is going on right now with Unidens apparently getting traded in at shops? I was in the shop that I go to east of Columbus Ohio today and I counted...

Hello everyone. I was wondering if a different mic would eliminate a little chirp when I key up? I have an RK56 and it makes a faint "chirp" when I key it (on this radio). If I put the stock mic on it, the sound is barely noticeable. I'm thinking of getting an Astatic Road Devil for this radio...

Hello, everybody. I was wondering if you could answer a question for me. Now I'm not trying to start a big debate here, but I would like to know if the Monkey Made antennas are worth the money. The reason I'm looking at them, is I need a new antenna and I need something that will take a beating...

I just picked up one of these radios for 10 bucks. I knew that it was not working when I got it, but I was wondering: I hooked up a power cord to it (just to see if it would at least power up) and it immediately blew the fuse. The driver I got it from apparently ran it with shorted coax until it...
