A few weeks back my set up was stolen and today was the day to replace it. This is the new stuff..Uniden 980SSB into a RM Italy kl203p and decided to use a Tram triple magnet mount and I can hear the haters but....a Tram TBC-9 antenna. The radio is set at 1 1/2 watt deadkey swings to about 7 watts and with the amp on deadkey is about 25 and swings to 85 ish. As for the antenna it has a lot less noise in the recieve than the Wilson 1000 it replaced and talks just as far or further. I'm planning to add a different amp later but so far I have just under $300 into it total.
