Trying out a Quad Wound, with tunable tip. Not overly impressed so far. About as good as other top loaded, tunable tip fiberglass antenna, so far. Subject to change of course.
Anyone have an opinion on these?
That looks a lot like a Everheart antenna, I have run those in the past, as well as the a bunch of top loaded wound fiberglass whips.
Never did I see much difference in any of them to be honest.
I always wound up going back to the 96" Francis.
I used something that was really similar, to be honest I've never had a mobile antenna better than a 102 ss whip. I never could get the swrs where I liked on anything else I ever used.
Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
