    I wonder if the frequency expansion procedure has changed like the newest 955v2's? JD

    Volvo VNL mid roof

    One of our drivers in a Cascadia daycab is using a screw-in bird perch on the back of the cab with a Wilson 2000 on it. Seems to work fine. As for my adventure...........I still have some tuning to do and possibly some RF grounds as well. Volvo's seem to ground, RF wise, better than the...

    Volvo VNL mid roof

    Didn't like the standard Bird Perch mount. Couldn't tighten the antenna mount properly on it so I dug out the Top Gun Z-Perch mount I had laying around and found I could mount it on the back of the sleeper using 2 existing bolt holes. These have a much beefier bird perch mount than the regular...

    Stryker 955 V 2

    I have 4 Quixiang built radios. 1. Anytone 6666 2. Anytone 5555NII 3. Top Gun Quad 5 4. Stryker 955v1 It amazes me that the most expensive of the bunch, the Stryker by a good margin, has the shittiest channel selector ever seen in this hobby! And it's still not fixed? This sounds like a Stryker...

    Field Strength Meter

    Just curious....instead of keying down the radio, would running an antenna analyzer provide enough signal? JD

    11 meter is very quiet?

    We'll be running it out on the big street this week so if all else fails, turn up the echo and yell Baba Booey! LMAO! JD

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Figures, I put new antenna on the truck and I'm thinking, is this thing working? Checked a couple of SDR deals online and the band took Sunday off! JD

    I picked up one of these off Amazon. Price wasn't too bad. We'll see how it works out! JD

    Volvo VNL mid roof

    This is, basically, a tryout. If I like what it does I'll tighten things up(the nail,etc.)! Not too bad on the RigExpert.....

    DX Engineering

    After living out here in the Buckeye for almost 5 years I finally walked into DX Engineering in Talmadge, Oh. yesterday! With all the China Virus restrictions over the last 2 years the store usually wasn't staffed. Well I needed some coax so I decided to go and check out the store. First you...

    Field Strength Meter

    Not concerned with SWR. Have a RigExpert and MFJ meter for that. Field strength is what I want to measure. JD

    Field Strength Meter

    I feel the need to buy a Field Strength meter. I'm going to try something a little different, than in the past, with the new truck antenna install. Do those cheap Astatic SWR/Field Strength meters work okay or do we need to spend some serious coin on a meter. This would just be for my own...

    Skipshooter Antenna Nail Rust!

    Would No-OX work on this problem seeing as the tip of the antenna is always out in the elements? JD
