I would not say the maco is hard to tune. All though my first one would not tune at all because part of the base was assembled wrong. The only issue I had with the maco was birds landing on the tuning ring and bending it out of place. This always caused my match to go up across the band. Other...

Looks Good!

I used some black permatex on my maco v58 and the current aluminum ground plane. I used it to seal the joints of the tubing to keep water out and the match from going up. Ive had no problems with either one as a result.

We have quite a few GMRS repeaters in the area here but the yuppies don't want modded ham radios on them. A few of the repeaters even have a recording system going 24-7. Only other activity I hear other than that is people hunting and stuff.

Ive got a dls 45 and love it! No noise issues at all with any of my radios. Also have a sub woofer amp hooked to it thats very picky and its silent. Im running an optima battery with mine and the separate iq-4 controller for power outages. Its been up and running almost 4 years now with no...

The local walmart here just recently started using murs. We use channel 3 around here mostly but one day I was at Chongs house helping him tune an antenna so we switched over to 5. Well some lady at walmart heard us and started going nuts yelling at us. We tried to explain the rules but she did...

That should work fine just check you SWR and tune for the lowest.

That should work fine and the cap being aluminum will be plenty of ground plane for an antenna by itself. Nice to see someone else from The Diesel Stop btw :thumbup1:

Welcome Back!

If I know Cobra they will discontinue it right before all the bugs are worked out just like they did with the 150 and 200.

Maul= fancy made up word for a battery switch.

Windows XP or Windows 98. I use Windows 98 for running DOS programs but if I could find drivers for some of the other computers I have I would run it every day. I did have a HP pavilion with a 1Ghz pentium and 384Mb of ram running Windows 98 and it would run circles around my newer HP with a...

Advertising for ya! Im also thinking the Bel Air being heavier would have demolished the Malibu. Cars may be safer in the sense that they take the impact better by blowing into pieces and having air bags but I think the older cars still have the advantage. Being on the fire department I have...

I got mine on ebay. Was not even in the market for one but when I seen it I knew I could not pass it up. Buy it now price was $140 on it. Brand new in the box. Only other antenna I would have would be a Celwave station master but finding one used is not easy or at least around here. New forget...

Ive managed to tune fire stik IIs to some crazy things. They work pretty good to if you get up high. Id say get one and a mag mount for it and put it on that air conditioner. Tune it up and you should be good to go!

Takes all kinds!

I just picked up a Hustler G7 150-1 for MURS and so far so good. beats the crap out of the modified diamond X300A I was using thats for sure.

One of the local old timers has one we set up for him when he moved. Only problem with his was the aluminum sections had filled with water and froze so there was some holes blown in it.

They seem to make a pretty decent antenna!
