DNJ is great. The service they provide is fantastic. I've ordered numerous things for them, all of which have arrived well packed and shipped same day. Email the guy, he's always responded to me within the hour. Most recently ordered a RM 505v and it arrived in a box, inside of a box, inside of...

I ordered a sirio 5000 from h&y and it was shipped loose and rolling around in a taped up, smashed up long box. No padding inside the box.. Just the antenna. It was bent every which way, had some paint missing off the base from it rolling in the box.. When I received the box, it was actually...

Absolutely. Don't know if quick spinning would make it worse over time or if that's just how it is. Regardless it's good to know that it's not just my unit's knob with a case of the wimps. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've been using it for a few weeks now and no complaints at all.. Well, except for the selector knob occasionally skipping channels or it changing channels with a little nudge and no click.. but meh. Everyone assumes I'm on a base so I can't complain. Use the memory function to switch between...

Good thought. Personally I'm licensed enough to utilize all of the freq's. Just trying to get the most usability out of the radio and antennas Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the info, just what I was looking for! Ill have to put on the ol' thinking cap and figure out what banks are more worthwhile to have I guess Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks man Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

alright, sounds like a plan and i'll post the results. here's another question. the grant's bandplan: A 26965-27405 B 27405-27855 C 26515-26955 D 27865-28305 E 26065-26505 F 28315-28755 G 25615-26055 H 28765-29205 I 29215-29655 J 29665-30105 How should I go about 'organizing'...

I have an inkling that of those 3, the optima is going to come out on top of this poll Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

With that said would it make sense to keep the wilson tuned for 11m and tune the Sirio for 10m and have the best of both worlds? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I couldn't resist (no will power) and ordered a sirio 5000. Which band do yall think should I use each antenna for? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A Uniden dealer/service center perhaps? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hah good point doc. And thanks for confirming that hotrod. I'll probably give it a go. Now I guess the real question is what should I use the wilson for and what to use the sirio for! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's for the suggestion! I looked at them for a while but it's just the lack of freq. counter and ssb drift that eventually turned me off. Apparently a great sounding TX/RX radio though! Just want something a little more stable in my mobile so I'm not going down the highway, changing lanes and...

Yea for sure I agree. Though it's a rock and a hard place kind of situation. Those that want a new model (small, mobile etc), like myself, are essentially stuck with one of these export options. I'm surprised that there isn't THE perfect radio with great everything and perfect reviews seeing as...
