    Holy thread hijack:rolleyes: Well I got the radio all hooked up and talked on it all weekend. I am no radio tech and don’t care to even attempt to get into that side of the discussion but I can say that I am getting great feedback from the local guys here with reports of loud clean audio...

    General Lee from Sparky.

    Thanks for the FEEDBACK LOL!!:wink: I have been running the TNT with a SPARKY tuned SS158edx from my truck hooked up to my base antenna and was getting good reports from the local guys. No bleed over here at the house and no complaints. This radio is a little more power than the 158...

    Base station upgrade help.

    I have been bitten by the upgrade bug again and am trying to make a logical decision. I am currently running an unmolested cobra 2000 bare foot that has good audio just not monster audio. I kind of want to leave it alone and setup another rig to run as my primary base radio. I already have...

    SS 158EDX amplifier suggestions

    Thanks again guys for the advice.:thumbup1: I am leaning towards the Texas Star 500 at this point however I will not rule out the Midnight Special 500 either. My budget is tight right now and the MS500 is far cheaper. I only talk on AM and I want a box that I can come up out of the mud...

    SS 158EDX amplifier suggestions

    Hello all, I have been running this Sparky tuned radio for a little over a week now and I absolutely love it, it's getting tons of good reports. However I am already looking for the next upgrade to my system, does it ever stop? The radio dead keys just about 3 to 3.5 watts and swings to...

    Superstar 158EDX problems.

    Yeah thanks for standing behind your statements.;) My radio went back at the beginning of last week and I talked with Sparky on Monday 2-23-09, he stated that there was an issue in the Rodger beep circuit and he is just going to send me a new radio. I am happy with this outcome; I would...

    Superstar 158EDX problems.

    This is my thinking as well. He already has the radio and I should here something back by Monday. I can say that he must be very busy because phone conversations with him are rather abrupt, but that could be a good thing.:unsure: Also when the radio was working it sounded great that alone...

    Care to explain why? Seems he has a pretty large following and I would like to hear from the other side of the fence. Thanks Mike.

    Seeker 250 amp?

    Need some help identifying an amp. I need to find out who made it so I can get more info for it? The amp should be pretty broadband but I cannot get the swr down, I have to run an antenna tuner so the radio sees 50ohm. Thanks in advance. [/IMG] [/IMG] And a pic of my base for the...
