Yes radio swr. My swr meter took a fall and doesn’t work. I tried it tonight. Kept it reel short report came back good. I just don’t like the thought of running a radio with a built-in amp in a high SWR. That’s the last thing I need is to blow this thing up. It freaks out. Goes into the red...
Stryker is great. Same antenna. Rig analyzer say it’s good. Coax not pinched. From roof through grommet under the truck. No doors to go through. Got to be the radio. I’ll get it checked out. Stryker radio works great just wanted more power. That’s what I get.
Ok. I may send the radio out to have it gone through. Talked to Q5 communication about it. The radio was used so who knows. I am very new to all of this. I was just wondering if maybe because the amp in the radio? Analyzer says 50 ohms SWR is 1.1 on channel 20. 45 db, x is.02. Antenna is set...
I appreciate it. Well…. Hooked up the radio and swr through the roof. With the Stryker A10 mag mount. Stryker radio perfect. I guess the mag mount won’t work with the 2970N4. I didn’t think it would. Rig expert aa55 Analyzer says it is perfect. I will call Breedlove today and get things rolling.
Yes please to pictures. I would highly appreciate it. Power cord should be showing up today for the 2970N4. I really like the Breedlove mount but the one I got did not fit right.
The battery in the truck has been upgraded a much larger AGM style battery. Came stock with the 220 amp alternator upgraded the power cables from the alternator to the battery. I just can’t wait to get this power cable so I can start testing different set ups for 2970N4 it should ring. Oh I do...
That’s good news to hear right there. I ordered a heavy duty power cable from a vendor. Four gauge copper terminals with an Anderson connector to go to the radio, and it’s fused.
This truck has the ram boxes on the side and a bed cover. Obstacles. Please let me know. Looking at Breedlove mounts now. That’s why stake pocket is best option. A10 mag mount gets out good. Talk lab from Tampa to all over us when conditions are right.
can’t wait for the power cord to get...
So I got so frustrated with mounting an antenna to the truck I pretty much gave up and went with a Wilson 5000 mag mount. SWR 1.3 to 1. My friend had a striker a 10 mag mount put that on my truck SWR down to 1.04 to 1. On the analyzer. That is with a striker 955HPC. Now I found a ranger 2970N4...
I agree with you the 198 you have to eat it to sound good. Was thinking about the D104-m6 as it will be in the pickup truck. Can’t wait to get it all set up.
