Thanks. It's not that I'm only an am'er only. It's all we use at work. (Construction) would like to go ssb and even looked and taken practice test for the ham. Just haven't pulled the trigger. With out a counter I have no freaking idea where I'm at. Even if the switches work. Just...

what antennas are you running with the 2. i'm thinking about sirio's, not sure which model yet. liking the performer 5000 with the pivot but would like a mag and that in my set up for work would be way to high. any suggestions

which model do you have

looks just like this https://www.flickr.com/photos/granitefan713/11020878193/in/pool-1051190@N24 wanted to go with the sirio 5000 being able to pivot it, if i go with a mag need a smaller whip due to all the tree branch's and stuff.

thought it always had to be grounded/bonded

where do you suggest i run the strap to, anywhere that has a bolt/screw going through to good metal?

might be picking up a stryker 440 and was wondering if not having ssb is a big deal? right now i dont use it (ssb) but thought i might like to have the option. anyway might be the wrong way to ask but would i rather have the 440 than the grant xl i'm looking at, btw they are both about the...
