    New thread to debate V-4000

    I am a little late to this party, but thanks. As I have said before, I now see, read and learn a lot thanks to the internet that was not around in 1967. All the information, misinformation, opinions, theory, real life experience all come together. Sure does get interesting. One thing that...

    Looking For Some Feedback On Two Amps

    Sixshooter...In reading you posts I see that you are one of the few people on this earth that does everything in life at a 100% legal level. So you claim. I doubt it. You will not have to be concerned about me being on 10 meters and bothering you at all. At age 67, now that I have time and...

    With the $500 difference and the good reports from others on the unit. It know it would not be an issue here. I have actually driven 32 MPH on a 25 MPH zone too!

    102 In Whip Install

    Back when I had a pickup, I mounted it like you are talking about. Make sure you have good metal contact with the mount and that the bed is grounded. Some PU beds have rubber insulators. If your does, then bonding to the frame will be needed.

    Interesting. The Sirio GPE 27 5/8 wave is on the shortest list for a new setup here. Reviews I find speak highly. Wish I could add more. Hopefully soon I will learn more about this one.
