    7' Skipshooter (Pictures and measurements)

    I am quite curious as to what they mean as well. I just sent them an email asking as to how they tested the antenna. I forgot to ask if if they tested on fm though... am & ssb were asked about. If they respond maybe we will have an answer from someone in the know there.

    Texas Star 500V fan retro fit?

    Key down circles wouldn't surprise me. Were my mobile amp lower, I'd seriously consider doing it myself, with the radiator located into one of the vents for the a.c. to blow past. Was thinking about it for base usage, one could plumb it into the mini fridge next to the desk & keep the amp cool...

    Texas Star 500V fan retro fit?

    Not trying to Thread jack, pretty sure the question has been answered, & excellent advice was given. Now seeing as how the thread is Texas Star cooling, has anyone tried a liquid cooling system? Pc's were/ still are cooled by fans, people are now using liquid cooling systems for some of the...

    You are more than welcome. You do deserve those flowers. This Grant went from a great radio, to flat out amazing. I really do apologize that it has taken me this long to post this thanking you.

    A very LONG overdue thank you!

    No worries, I got into cb in the 90s. I started off with an old realistic am only base. Now, I have my Grant Xl back. Worth the $$$ IMHO.

    Those 2k's are great radios. I miss the one I had years ago. Kind of looking for another.

    A very LONG overdue thank you!

    You have a cobra 2000 that has worked flawlessly for you. Nothing to be ashamed of. Especially seeing as how you didn't send it to SRC, & picked it up from the guy who did. I'm going to figure that you didn't know any better. I had second thoughts about SRC as he wasn't offering the simple...
