    SWR trouble

    Yes of course! Even though we try we “just can’t win them all”, there are always compromises! It seems that there are no bad reviews about the SIRIO!

    SWR trouble

    Makes sense to have different options to try out, and also if you ever install a VFH(2meter) radio all the best commercial grade antennas are NMO. 73

    SWR trouble

    Hey ForestRunner98, since you mentioned the NMO to PL adapter, are using the SIRIO where you had a LARSEN? If so, did you see a gain in performance and range with the SIRIO?

    Caboverbob late introduction........

    Thanks for the update Cabover Bob(y). Like you, I don’t think it really matters to get lost behind the particulars of antenna theory and science, because all mobile installs are not created equal anyway. As long as you do the best you can with a really good antenna, good cable, good grounding...

    What about the DDS VFO?

    Whoever said good fences make good neighbors, didn't live next to family!

    You bet! I also always use full synthetic ATF (you do a lot with 1 quart) and use an air compressor powered automotive type spray gun (you have to turn the pressure down on the low side). For the "finicky stuff" or something like the rims I remove them and use a brush to lightly coat the areas...

    Whoever said good fences make good neighbors, didn't live next to family!

    The shutters look good, and nobody could tell what you used unless you tell them! I have to admit that ATF is very versatile; I spray ATF every fall on the underside of my truck because of the super corrosive brine that they spray on the roads in the winter in my area. I experimented with a lot...

    Base New Imax wont tune 11m....this sucks

    Can you elaborate? I taught the IMAX and the GAINMASTER were somewhat similar (comparing oranges to oranges)! Are you saying that both are not worth buying? What would be a good choice for a base antenna?

    CB FM

    True! Not to mention the fact that in the U.K.,for many years, there were a lot of rallies for the legalization of AM on the 27mhz CB band because they only had FM. Sometimes people only want what they don't have!

    Base New Imax wont tune 11m....this sucks

    So basically, anyone considering buying one today, would be better off buying a Sirio Gain-Master?

    Not trying to create more work for you, but if you were able to do a video about the DDS VFO in a 148 gtl, it would be a very interesting and informative video. Is it a complicated install? Looks interesting and a cool update for the older units (saw the video on CB radio magazine). 73
