I have a grant xl (philly) and had it tuned and peeked 13 years ago when I bought it. I got a little Palomar tx 75 to put behind it and it took me awhile to turn down dk to 1.5 watts on my dosy tfc 3001 now I put it in my truck with the amp and tried it with my meter and it would key up to 40...
Not sure about yours but I know a guy that did his with a 102 whip and another mobile antenna in the L shape and he said his wasn't directional so yours will probably be omni now I am looking to do something like that and I am going by what he said so let me know how it works for you
Shioda I know they need to make these type radios to keep making money cause that is what most of the so called truck drivers want now days. All I would like to see is a radio like the uniden grant xl with maybe a few little bells and whistles like the light up knobs from the uniden I don't care...
I'm with Pro151 what is it with all the junk they are throwing at the wall and hoping it sticks? Why not just ask the operators what they want in a radio and then build a solid radio that is of high quality and then leave it be. All this bluetooth crap and mp3 players are getting silly I have a...

A friend of mine has one and don't like it had it on my meter stock and it was keying like 3.5 watts not sure what can be done to them but his didn't recieve well
You know I read this whole thread all 9 pages and well it was very entertaining and interesting but the sad fact is no one has actually stated for a fact that any shop did crappy work. I read on here a bunch of times muddy saying his radio wasn't done by sparky but he won't say who did it unless...
Thanks for recognizing the fathers on this site. I am the proud daddy of 6 five girls and one boy three girls are my step daughters but I am there dad so thank you and put me in please
701 try putting a 6 inch shaft on each antenna and try that. The fiberglass antennas are not as good IMO as the steel whip and really wouldn't change your readings much plus won't take as much abuse I.E. hitting low flying limbs Try the 6 inch spacer if it don't work only make one antenna live...
