Looking for a new mag mount antenna that has a stinger or total length of 40" and below. I know theres wilson, K40, couple cheap knock offs, Etc... But what is a good one? I don't want the cheapest but I don't want the most expensive either. Looking to run a little extra later on so it should be...

I don't know if there is or not either. Permanent at this time is not an option either. Yeah, I know. Not many options at all. But size of the little will and mag mount. I don't think momma bear wants me to start drilling in her 2012 Escape for an antenna that will mostly RX. Although, I have...

Longer isn't really an option at this time. I need the "short" stinger length.

I don't remember right now. I'd have to open the hood again and look.

Got a little will and the thing will never tune correctly, has terrible receive, and if you move the coax, things change. The base inside looks fine, Had the PL-259 changed to a real one, Same. This one was purchased in 2012. I have another I bought in '08 and it somehow is ALWAYS tuned for 1.5...

So their product failed, Member posts the failure, They're kick from group? Cover up anyone? And whats funny is, I see so many people in groups just IN LOVE with strykers junk and their antennas. Most are either barefoot or just running a couple hundred.... I guess a radio that has a flashy...

Yeah, AM is fine. Even when my AM noise floor is about S-2, kick it over to SSB and the needle swings up to 9-ish. U and LSB do it. But at a different location, Same noise level on AM, SSB shows the same as AM. Checked for any "obvious" mods done and nothing. Looks virgin still. Unless the mods...

Sometimes they do. If it concerns you that much or causes performance issues, I'd return it under warranty. Better now than later when you really need it and it fails. Even new cars have wonky issues warranty needs to cover putting them out of service, Lol. I know I hate being without my radios...

Well, After comparing the inside of mine to this site: https://www.radiomods.co.nz/galaxy949_959ept069610z.html mine is virgin other than a clipped limiter I can't find.

Alright. Thats good to know. With my new interest back into the hobby and discovery of a new tech, ALL my radios are getting a gone through and cleaned up electronically. Including full alignments and the Schottky diodes if he thinks they'll help with it. I have a good tech locally but hes more...

Either got damaged while in shipping or just bad QA/QC. They MIGHT check 1 out of every 100 radios on the line. If the shaft is just bent, I'd run it. The talkback shaft on my 959 is bent pretty good but still works. Point is, Galaxy pots are pretty tough and even taking a traumatic hit still work.

My 959 was used when I acquired it. Took it to a tech who did an alignment on it. AM is fine. On SSB, I can hear multiple stations tuned in but they're at the floor level then randomly one will come blasting in so strong I can't tune them and my meter pegs out. I know he turned the receiver up...

Got a 25 and the WX audio and signal strength seem weaker/lower than my PC68Elite with an out of wack WX board. (Mis-Aligned) Both receive the same freq but the cobra seems quieter. Could it be the "ears" need turned up like I did on the Uniden? The Cobra is a "Refurbished" one from mexico I got...

I'll be the first to admin, I don't know EVERYTHING about electronics or EMF. But, With the "symptoms" it did and how there were haarp rings over that area, I was just wildly putting two and two together. Since it wasn't EMD as many are saying, I'd sure like to know what did all this at once...

While cutting down audible noise is great, That doesn't quite take care of receiver load. If you have for example, a clean S-6 signal but S-9 noise floor, forget it. Not trying to start a "war" or anything but with so much bad information in this hobby, Its hard to learn whats right from whats...

This can be argued until the next solar cycle. But, the plaintiff has to PROVE with HARD evidence the defendant was the one who did the physical recording, Second, The plaintiff spoke on PUBLIC airwaves on the CITIZENS BAND that any scanner, shortwave receiver, and/or cb radio available for...

I do know, And this might be isolated to just the radio, But my galaxy 959 from '07 and cobra 29 ST from '97, Both I got used, Have some quiet receivers while still picking up distant fixed stations. I'll try the grounding advice though. Thanks. Anyone else try it or is it one of those "swing...

I've heard for a while these work great to quiet a receiver down without sacrificing sensitivity. If thats the case, Is it the same with almost every "major brand" radio? Such as Uniden, new Cobras, Etc... Most of my stuff is one of those two whether it has the builders name or a re-badge. Would...

They still sell the 29 LTD Bluetooth. Hell, I saw it last night when I stopped at flying J while at work. So they still make it. And, I have two 29 with bluetooth, weather, nightwatch, and soundtracker. Or 29 WXBTNWST. (Where do they get these model names from?!) It works and works well. On a...

They're controlled by firmware burnt into the CPU damn near permanently. While Les and mark have figured out how to bullshit the CPU to a degree, Less is right. Once you cut power, It defaults to the firmware. Uniden wanted to make these "truck stop proof" and they found a way. I seriously doubt...
