Coooool! :D So one of the predator hex mounts would mount directly to my roof if I drilled a hole for it?

I have a class III hitch on my Jeep. I thouht roof mounted would be the best way to go, but my Wilson 5000 magnet mount is always wacking stuff now! If I mounted a 10K on the roof would it unscrew easily? say if I was to go off-road and needed the clearance? I'm not even sure how a 10K...

I was hoping I could get away with the shortest shaft length possible. My Jeep has a 6" lift and 33's I had no idea the shaft length effected the tuning of the antenna.

What would be the best way to mount a 10K ? It would be going on a Jeep Cherokee, I'm thinking about getting one of those instead of the Wilson 5000 magnet mount I'm currently running. I'm adding a AMPower 3-pill and I think I may want a better antenna that might also be hard mounted. What...

I may have to upgrade my cable, I may even want to hard mount my antenna. I'm gonna be running a AMPower 3-pill soon and may need the upgrades.

I would opt for the mirror mount, that way you could run a larger and better antenna, like a Wilson 2000 trucker. A 1' or 2' fiberglass antenna ain't gonna do squat for you.

What do you guys think of the Galaxy FC347, frequency counter? Is it pretty decent? I was thinking about getting one for my General Lee.

Well.....I picked up a Wilson 5000 from Multec Communications ( http://www.rfwiz.com/ ) for $68 I've been so busy at work I have'nt had time to installo it yet, hopefully this weekend it'll be all setup. :D

I was thinking about getting a Galaxy DX959 for one of my other rides. I called one shop and they tried to talked me out of getting one. :? I never owned a Galaxy radio but I always thought they were good radios...........What's the general opinion about the DX959 around here?

OK, what's the best way to tune my new WIlson 5000 when I get it? Can I use the meter on the radio to do it or should I get one of the SWR meters that my local Rat Shack has to do the job properly? Thanks again!

I can't wait to get it! I'll probably run it right out of the box for now because I'm so anxious to get back on the air. Right now I don't have any antenna to use for my radio. I sold the K40 I had so I could get something better.

Well, I ended up ordering the Wilson 5000 magnetic mount. :D That should do the trick for me. I appreciate all your input!

I have'nt really heard anything bad about RadioActive's wackpacked or super wackpacked radios until now :? Who has had a bad experience with them?

Where can you find info on getting a license?

Wow! Thanks for all the replies. I see alot of stuff around here about the 10K. Maybe I'll do a 10K for daily duty and keep a small back-up antenna for 'wheelin? :naughty

I had a older Cobra 29LTD w/soundtracker, I had it peaked and tuned by a local shop and ran a K40 magnetic mount antenna. That setup worked really good for me and I never had any problems with the radio. I have since moved on and up to a General Lee :mrgreen: (and am working a a new...

I don't know squat about these type of amps, could you give me some examples of some 4 pill amps? Thanks.

Cool, thanks for the info. I'll check those out.

Thanks, I am open to all info, experience or suggestions. I do take my Jeep off-road ocassional so I think a magnetic mount would be the best way. I was looking at the Wilson 1000's but was thinking about the Wilson 5000 because I may run a amp somewhere in the future. The 102" whip just...

I just picked up a General Lee, I guess this is coinsidered a export radio? I have heard very good things about them on the interent and from other truckers. What's the opinion around here of these radios? I may plan on running a amp sometime in the future, what might be a good amp for...
