    Liquid cooled antenna...Any good?

    I have to agree with ya. it looks pretty schtoop. I think I will give them a try. For $50-55 ea. it seems a good deal. I read some reviews and they were pretty good. Now I just need to decide on a radio.

    Liquid cooled antenna...Any good?

    I think I will get those. Its all going on my new Peterbilt :thumbup: Heres a question, is there any advantage to pointing your antennas forward? I see that a lot on trucks and have wondered why they do it.

    Liquid cooled antenna...Any good?

    works for me!! How about the wilson 2000 trucker. $49 delivered. They say 3500 watts capable. I will be using 2 of them and will have no more than 500 watts. I dont think I need to spend upwards of $200 right now. (I gotta buy another radio still)

    Liquid cooled antenna...Any good?

    I am lookin at some new radios (Last one (Galaxy 99) burned up in a big rig fire) and will probably end up with a Magnum S9. I still have an antenna I can use and will buy another one if it is any good. I do not know the brand but it has a solid post about 6.5" long and then a glass See through...

    Texas Star DX 350 question

    Correct me if I am wrong, I would just turn the power control down when the amp is on right?

    Lookin for a new radio to run with the TS DX500

    I was lookin at that radio and compaired it to the basic S9 and they have some simalarities. Mainly the power control. Actually all the S9s have that as well. Dual finals with 50+- watts. I might check it out.... I don't know. I also have a Palomar 250 that works pretty well and is way smaller.

    Lookin for a new radio to run with the TS DX500

    Let me ask you guys this, what is the better way to go in your opinion. A radio/amp combination with my dx or a new powered radio like the magnun S9-175 or the Galaxy 98VHP. Room is a factor (Goin in a truck) and that is why I was lookin at the Galaxy at first. The DX500 is pretty large...

    Texas Star DX 350 question

    I had the same problem with my TS DX500. One day it did the same nothing you describe. I was running it with my old Galaxy Dx99v which has since parrished in a truck fire. I had the amp fixed and the radio turned down (Whatever that meant) to work with the Galaxy. I want to use the amp again...

    Need a little help. Not new to radios just uneducated.

    Cant say I know them. Hey, What do you think of the Magnum S9. Would it be a good fit with the TS 500. will it need to be tweeked to work with the amp. I did have an issue when I ran my DX99 with the amp. It would blow the key up circut in the amp. If I remember corectly, I had to have the radio...

    Need a little help. Not new to radios just uneducated.

    Yea, I know. The TS is kinda big and I just wanna keep it kinda simple. That is why the DX98 got my attention. I figure 200 watts of dialed radio shoud be fine. My other galaxy was a great radio and I never had a problem with it. I know there is much better now. I probably wont ever use the VC...
