Hi JJ, i noticed the same thing a few days ago. I was sure i had a loose antenna connection and even watched my swr meter closely while i keyed up on am to see if there was any fluctuation which there was not. I thought maybe i was seeing some cross channel from a station and nothing either...

Yes seems so. I am not a big fan of the 6666/6666 pro size or control layout. So much prefer the 5555n/n2 size and layout and no doubt others probably feel the same :) happy Friday!

Thanks magnuman. I have been wondering if changing my 5555n2 to a short version (or QT60 pro) is worth it. The dimmer would be nice that the n2 doesnt have but not seeing much else as a substantial upgrade from my current n2. I personally prefer the larger form factor of the 5555n2 / Qt60 over...

Hi guys. For a fiberglass type base antenna big stick, antron etc, is a metal mast pipe needed vs say a finerglass pole. Is the typical metal mast needed for this type antenna for counterpoise ? Lets use a antron type antenna without groundplane / kit. Would the coax coming straight down...

Not as wet here JJ but damp with much rain overall. A break in the crap weather ahead for the next week ish. Hoping dx picks up again with the change to nicer weather. 73 Jeff 426 Ontario, Canada

Thanks for the comment BC Coyote. I usually use a wilson 1000 mag mount so sounds like i'll be sticking with that :) 73

Hi, i picked this up at a yard sale and wondering if any good ? Trunk lip mount model 590. Its advertised as 23 ch antenna. Thx!

Hello, i see this has been discussed in the past. Do a search here on this site for - Which Radio Is Better 139XLR or 142GTL Lots of good info. Cheers!

yikes on the lincoln also being a problem as well :( might just work with what i have tbh. Thx for sharing.

Crazy yours also had a whacked clarifier control. Kinda makes one wonder if its a common problem on the current run of the radio. Not sure if i will try another one or not yet. Agreed qc is in the toilet it seems

I appreciate the input guys. Thank-you 73
