Excellent posts ! I am trying to learn here guys , how do you go about checking the reactance resisitance on your antenna / feedline ? Hooking up an SWR meter is one thing ......but, would you check this with an ohm meter ? And, as...

That is a big plus for me !! It's not too convenient to go to the battery when slip-seating !

To each his own, I'm not opposed to anything flashy but,.......I don't want to get the attention of the truckstop thieves ! If it looks too flashy they might want to borrow that lit-up radidiio !

Excellent , I will give it a try.

I would guess ratshack should have these ?

Hey Folks, Do any of you guys have some tips for setting one of these up? I think (please correct me if I'm wrong) the VR 2 is for power? And the VR 3 is for the talkback (which I would think you set last) I started on it last night . I have...

I couldn't agree more !!!!THESE 3 ARE THE ONLY ONES I WILL ALLOW to touch my radios !!! PA629 you are the MANNN !

Thanks for the professional assesment DTB ! I run a Stryker 440 in my mobile and it does agreat job for me too, NO receiving issues on mine either. Just great recieve & transmit ! Mine does a better job than my ol' CONNEX for sure.

Lazybones, Tell me a little about that supertuner . Are they very expensive , readily available ? I have a "trashy " Boomer amp . I should probably get rid of it I hardly evr use it .

Wish you well with the surgery & hope you & the family have a Merry Christmas.

THANKS FOR THE REVIEW , SNAKE EYES ! :D

Hey CT . On a somewhat related subject , how are you doing with your engine noise problems?

sixwheeler, Say you bought from H&Y ? the only problem I had with them was the shipping. I felt like they made the price back on VERY expensive S& H charges. I'm very interested in trying one out though....the reduced staic claims are what...

Thanks for the input GEARHEAD ! Man , why didn't I think of that ??? Yes, I have another amp , don't know why I had not thought of trying it to see what happens. DUH !! I'll try to check it out & see what happens. It may be several days...

GEARHEAD, That's the same thing many , many CB guys have told me over the years too. I have the same Wilson 5000 mag w/ only the radio 1.2 SWR now when I turn on the HEAT it goes over 5.0 !! I get a radio check , & everyone tells me it...

LOTS of information here !! This goes hand in hand with the same trouble I have with a BOOMER 600. I guess they are cheaply made & don't have enough filtering. So,......I'm going to use some of these solutions here & try a TVI filter...

This idea is VERY similar to my post re: Mobile antenna counterpoise. Thanks for the link to the Wilson "floating ground" I see that is sort of what I was talking about. I had no idea no one made anything like that . VERY INTERESTING !!!

Where is the "proper place" for those measurements ,WL5?

When you say that is "only when it's raining "......That sort of sounds like the "OLD RADIAL TIRE " noise issue. I have personally seen & experienced that many times myself. Have the front bearings and / or wheel seals been serviced recently ? Have...

Thanks for the responses guys ! I'm still waiting to see if anyone remembers the situation that DTB was referring to ....if I remember correctly; I think DTB suggested trying a counterpoise for an RF or related issue. Anyway , I'm just experimenting...
