    president grant 2

    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...

    president grant 2

    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...

    Just got my Grant II and have some questions

    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

    Just got my Grant II and have some questions

    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...

    Multi-band & Wilson 1000

    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

    Multi-band & Wilson 1000

    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

    Multi-band & Wilson 1000

    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

    PRESIDENT Lincoln II

    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...

    PRESIDENT Lincoln II

    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...

    Multi-band & Wilson 1000

    Alright that's great. Thanks for the greetings btw! I'll see how far the wilson gets me and I suppose that I'll go from there. Now, of course; I have to ask if the sirio 5000 will fit on the Wilson mount. I know obviously the sirio mount is larger but would you trust the wilson mount to hold...

    Multi-band & Wilson 1000

    Eventually I'll get on the sirio train but for now I have the pretty new wilson to deal with. Should I buy another whip and trim it down and keep the two in the car? Or would a sirio just save some headaches? What about a tuner with the existing antenna? How much would you expect the swr to...

    Multi-band & Wilson 1000

    Hey all, probably a simple answer here but I'll give it a go.. Ive been using a wilson 1000 with a 980 (mobile) and have a great swr, reports both am and ssb etc. I'll probably be picking up a Grant 2 soon and was wondering if I'll be able to use the 1000 across the bands without adjusting it...

    980 internal feedback?

    Alright, roger that. I'll turn the mic gain down and see how reports are at different settings and go from there. May just be a power mic quirk. It's odd though, even with mic gain @ 4 and pwr mic set at about 50% I still had good reports on AM. I'll try out different settings and get back to...
