the thin piece of rubber that acts as a barrier between my paint and the magnet of my Siro Mag Mount has succumbed to the elements. In need of a new rubber! Any ideas ?!?

If given the same mounting and same overall height, would base loaded, center loaded, or top loaded antennas make any difference if local talk was your only goal. Im referring to a mobil setup.

I would like to look into an analyzer because just like everybody else I want to get most out of my setup. And SWR meter only tells part of the story. The AA-600 RigExpert is the only one listed in the "Product Reviews" forum. As of right now I am unlicenced only use 11meter. But when I get...

Ive done a forum search and have turned up nothing. Is there a safe way to run two radios on the same antenna without a manual antenna switch? Im thinkin of gettin a Galaxy 979 for a general all around radio, and using my old junk cobra 29Wx St for weather. If the cobra was used for WX...

Any one have any experience or opinions about the Everhardt Tiger base loaded whips? 6 in wound fiberglass base and a 4 ft steel whip.... for $22 it seems interesting....:cool:

Mirage MX 86 HP. Anybody used one these late model radios? Not finding much on the net yet. Little info out there for the 36 HP AM only. Looks like a good small chassis radio with AM SSB, and channels......

I looking for mounting options to install my Styker 955 in my 86 Chevy pickup. Its a four on the floor 4wd K20 with a center console and bucket seats. In front or behind the shifter is out because granny and reverse have such a long throw. The ashtray and glovebox is in the way on the right and...

If I wanted to test the Rx of multiple radios against each other, could I simply use an SO239 T-connecter and Listen to both radios on the same antenna system? Or would this not be a good idea?:confused1:

:mad:Bought a new Stryker SR-955 and I believe somthin aint right. AM works perfectly. SSB has a seemingly intermittent problem. When I key up on AM my SWR is showin 1.1:1 But when switched to upper or lower sideband the SWR pegs across the meter to the "infinity" mark and the "high SWR...

I have my Wilson 5000 antenna in the middle of my ext cab pickup roof and want to mount another antenna tuned for 160 MHz (18 inch?) behind it. How far apart do these antennas need to be, or does it really matter that much? The 160 MHz will be for recieve only.

Probably been covered before, but... Whats the general agreement about the maximum amount of power that can be used with a Wilson 5000 MAGNET mount? That is before damage to paint finish, or to any equipment, or anything?? It's mounted to the center of the cab of an 2001 Ext. Cab GMC

So, here's a thought. I've seen a few homebrew dipoles use mobile antennas (ex. Firestik KW5) as the ends of the dipole. A dipole constructed in this fashion should have both ends (the hot and the cold end) balanced, or the same electical length,right? What if you were to keep the electrical...

Thinkin about ditching the Wilson 5000 mag mount on my 01 ext cab GMC and drilling a hole in the top of the bed rail and mounting a 102" whip bout a foot from the rear of the bed. (6' 6" bed length) For a lower overall height can I use something non-conductive (probably nylon bailing twine) to...

So the best place to connect your power wires for your radio (100 watt) is directly from the battery. Do both (positive+ and negative-) cables need to be connected directly to the battery terminals, or can the Negative(-) be connected to a good chassis ground? I found 10ga stranded married...

Quick dumb question, I can only hear Skip/DX in daylight hours....is that normal? I know Nature gives and takes the optimal conditions for skip but...havn't been able to find this answer around on the net.:blink:

What is the CLEANEST, easiest, most efficient way to push 60+ watts from a mobile? AMP or EXPORT? Good amp or Export recomendations? ^^ ab v c^^ 22racer

So what is the "correct" way to use RF ferrite chokes? Is there a wrong way to use them? Can I damage anything by just experimenting and using them in different places on the mobile? Any disadvantages? 22racer:huh:

So I have a large HVAC unit on top of my house. How effective could it be to put a magnet mount moble type antenna on top of that big square box?? If so, Would I need to use a different coax since the length would be much longer? THX

Any body had dealings with Walcott CB or GI Joe's Electronics? Good, bad, any opinions welcome! THX, 22racer
