I found the power differences... one is 600 ( the 4000 series ) and the other is 1500 ( 5000 series )
I asked one of the resalers and they said its the power handling and DB gain, but I cant find the specs on DB gain...
I also read that people say cut the continuous power handling in half...
Why can't we use the mag mount? I deff don't wanna drill
The 4000 is the same as the 5000 right? Or at least should be? But damn better than then wilsons in would guess as well.
What bothers me is the extra length I don't want or need. See where it says sirio in that picture towards the bottom of the antenna is what? What is it, an additional 4" or so? I'd like a sirio that has nothing under the words and goes straight into a mag mount, similar to the wilson1000
I know the Performer and Turbo 5000 is where its at. I just dont like that adjustment ( either the knob or the :joint: ) that is there. I seen that the have the Megawatt 4000 series and High Power 4000 series antenna that does not have those features above Im dont want.
Would they work the...
Yeah I didnt think about the antenna being bad. Its off the truck now and Im waiting for an antenna. I like the Sirio's.. Standby for another thread lol
No. Well I asked on air and they said no. But I was switching mics after its been keyed up a few times, so I guess the antenna or internals were "heated" up... I dont know if the lag or scratchy-ness at first is antenna or mic related.
Hey Duster, that Kenwood mic you bought. I seen this one that actually has buttons where the other doesnt. Mic for Kenwood MC 44 TM 701A TM 721A TM 731A TM2530A TM2550A TM2570A TM 231 241 | eBay
Do you think they will work? Or just go with this one: Hand Mic for Icom IC 275 IC 375 IC 475 IC...
Yeah it doesn't do it all the time... I'll see if I can catch it.
I had the squelch up a hair ( as you can see ) but still the lag is there

Im sure someone will say I set the video up etc, but honestly no I didnt. Also channel 31 is my local...
So turn off the if filter. ( the one that turns on the light )
Also this is weird... When I turn on the cb, I get a lot of static. If I just key up for 2 sec and then key down I hear everyone talking.... If I don't do that ill never hear anything..
Any idea on what's what?
Oh I had power all the way up... to the right
Im using a mag mount Wilson 1000.
I also have NB on and the internal filter ( where you hold the one knob in and the little light pops up )
Plus T-low is on as well.
