I don’t have a dummy load. Only dummy load I’ve got is myself.

Running a Sirio P5000 magnet mount. SWR tunes to 1.25:1 on 1-40. It’s very broadbanded across 40 channels. This is running through an amp. When the amp is switched on the swr rises to about 2.5:1-3.0:1 and causes the radio to go into high swr shut off. I just replaced the mag mount base with a...

Item has been traded. Thanks to TheRealPorkchop for a great trade!!! Great communication and great to deal with. Highly recommend this guy...

Looking for a good used high drive amp for my Stryker SR-955 HPC. Message me if any are available.

Looking for a clean SR-955 for sale or trade. I have a nice Magnum S9. I will update with pictures of anyone is interested. Thanks

You mean like a voltage line in filter? It is t coming in through the power cord. It’s coming in through the antenna, but it still has a “hiss” without antenna hooked up. It’s the sensitivity of the radio that is causing it and it’s been on several magnum radios I’ve had. I really like this one...

That’s a lot of info. I’ll pop the covers tomorrow and get a look at the board and get back with you. Thanks so much for the help. 73s

I don’t know. It has the mosfet finals. I actually had both versions and both had the same issues. I even had a delta force once, and also have a 257hp. All my magnum rigs have been real sensitive and there has to be a way to filter out these noises.

Yes. Noise blanker filters some. It’s not a real strong filter. I have ran the rx down all the way to 50 percent but it starts to have a weak sig.

Anyone know of a way to add filtering to the radio. It is a tad noisy. It picks up everything from other automobiles, to blinking led school signs, street Lights etc...

After reading the link you've shared this actually makes perfect sense. I've always ran directly to battery. I had a jeep with electrical problems every time I keyed the mic. Windshield wipers going off when transmitting etc... now that I think about it, my 2004 GMC truck is drive by wire...

I've done this. It come in through antenna. However, reading about the mentioned ground loop effect may be causing it. Worth a try. I'll move my ground to the chassis tomorrow and see what happens

I appreciate all the comments. Everyone is very kind. Thanks. I'll get to bonding and such lol. I'll let the cat out of the bag a little. Radio is a FT-857d:)

I'm wondering about the bonding RF issue that M0GVZ mentioned

I will say that this antenna has given the best noticeable TX and RX results of any mobile I've ran before. This is testing to a base station located a very good distance away. He has confirmed on several occasions that it has the strongest signal against a Wilson 5000, K40, Wilson 1000 (all mag...

I have used three radios. All with the same results. My latest radio is the most sensitive.

I ran #8 awg electrolytic grade copper direct to the battery, then soldered to the radio harness. I've confirmed that the noise is not coming in from the power supply. All connections are stereo grade terminals.

I wonder why it makes a difference with my radio if the mounting bracket is touching a metal surface or plastic. When it touches a metal surface the radio doesn't act right.
