Yup! One saving grace, I hope, is Volvos tend to ground better than Freightshakers. Gonna try mounting the antenna off a bird perch on the back of the sleeper. Tried a Z-perch off the mirror bolts and didn't like the situation. Too weeble wobbly for my taste. Maybe with longer bolts it would...
The board in these new versions are similar to the V2 Stryker 955. They are adjusted through a menu. No internal adjustment points. I would be real careful about messing with this unless you have the knowledge and the equipment.

Back then I was even less knowledgeable about antennas and radio than I am now. It worked okay. I usually broke it out after driving up to Perkins Drive on Bear Mtn near West Point, NY. That picture was taken on the old family farm outside of Cooperstown NY. That hill in the background had a...
Did this a couple of skip cycles ago...........
Antron 99 on trailer hitch mount. Don't remember if I had the HR2600 or the Titan RoadPro 485 with the KLV203 in the cab. Fun times!

I thank everyone for their input. I've pretty much decided on the MFJ 815D. I think at that price point it will give me what I'm looking for without breaking the bank. The deciding factor had alot to do with Nomad's above post on how true peak reading meters work and this one seems to fill the...
My radio is run strictly mobile in a big truck. I have been using a 636 on mine and have had many compliments on it. I've tried a Road Devil a couple of times and it sounds good but has a tendency to squeal so I ditched that! I was tempted to try a SRA-198 but after watching Scott's comparison...

Yup! Running it in the truck. Using a 636 mic and getting good reports. Tried a Road Devil and it worked good at first then started squealing. Battery might be weak. I have to get another battery.

Well the radio is mounted in the truck. We'll give it the smoke test this week! I'm curious on how the AM modulation is going to stack up versus a Stryker. Going to try a couple of different mics including a 636, Road Devil and the stock mic.

This works! Use your left hand to hold the menu and mode buttons and as soon as you release them push the remaining buttons with your right hand QUICKLY!
