    Bells CB

    Bells is a decent shop. Screwdriver is a nice and seemingly knowledgeable man. They have been around for a long time too. Turn around time is reasonable as well.

    Need replacement lamps for Astatic 600 meter

    Might be easier to throw some white led's in there instead.

    Hey Charlie, does that ground plane kit really do anything? Just asking because I see quite a few mobiles using them especially with Wilsons. I have heard critics say they are just a gimmick. But since you run it, what are your findings with the gpk vs. without it?

    The wilson tuned in a little higher. 1.6-1.7 My friend has a sirio base antenna (non-gain master) and he loves it. He was very impressed with the p5k of mine. He's thinking of getting one for his truck. Just for a goof we threw it on his truck with my wilson mag mount and without tuning...

    Just got back from my buddy with the MFJ. With his help we get the Sirio to tune in much much better than before. Now I get 1.4 SWR across all 40 and the "R" ranges between 42-50 depending on the channel. Next up will be the TX & RX over the air tests versus the Wilson 5k

    Very true. I remember the Mustangs of around 2003 were fiberglass trunk decks. What I have been seeing is a lot lately in new cars is much more epoxies and resins being used and far less welding. Just for a goof I checked a bolt on the trunk deck and a seat belt bolt with the continuity...

    Did that with the old altima to no avail. I bonded everything and it made no difference. I just have to live with it evidently

    Siro 5000 vs Wilson 1000... The results

    You are 100% correct. First off let me say that I pretty much got out of radios for the most part. I had all the garbage at one time. 55 on the tri-mag on the roof. Ran a motor maul for the 8 pill, had the 1x2 in front of it, couple of batteries in the trunk, blah blah... Got tired of the...

    Amen to that man. Lot more alternative bonding methods...epoxies, spot welds,etc.

    LOL! this IS my next car! Eh whatever, this is for the road trip only anyway. my last car was monopolized by radio gear. This one will not be! Its sorta nice now going to the store and actually being able to use the car's trunk for a change!

    No way am I going to gay up with car with a magnet on the roof which won't work anyway with the sunroof stealing 2-3 sq. feet of roof metal. Either the trunk lip mount will work sufficiently or there's going to be nothing in the car at all.

    My P5000 came today from H&Y. Arrived in a 7' PVC pipe. The mailman asked if I ordered a stripper pole! Anyway was a crappy day for testing, all misty and such but I couldn't resist trying. My Wilson 5000 on the trunk lip mount tuned in at around 1.6-1.7 I figured the P5k would do better...

    A while back a friend suggested maybe the reason for poor tuning on the trunk could be due to the rear window defroster grid might be causing some reflect issues. Does this make any sense to anyone?

    I had the wilson mag on the roof of my old car. Still that wouldnt tune in that great. I think 1.5 was about the best I saw. Now my 55 on a tri-mag on the roof was great. Swr was a hair above flat. However when I put that setup on the truck it refused to tune. Not enough sheet metal on the...
