    Looking at the Sirio lineup for mobile use...

    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...

    Looking at the Sirio lineup for mobile use...

    I don't want any extra added length. I don't want nor need the folding feature, so if I can get one that doesn't have it, even better.

    Looking at the Sirio lineup for mobile use...

    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

    Few question on my Optima MK3..

    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.

    Few question on my Optima MK3..

    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?
