    Yeah still deciding. Got another month before I have the cash to use. I was looking at the BBI basic 6 and 8 "pills", but not sure if he's taking orders right now. Also still like the Sweet 16, like yours as well. Would love a new 1200. I'd rather Hgs than dei's myself so checking that as well...

    Sirio Turbo 5000 mobile antenna

    Most of all antennas will get out if done right and tuned correctly you can even get out and listen on a coat hanger. All those years and all the research including here has brought me to my conclusion. Longer is longer less is less. Not only that the center load and baseload antennas as I have...

    Sirio Turbo 5000 mobile antenna

    My opinion... I have tried just about all of them since the 1970s. These 3 to me are the best. SS Whip, Predator 10KSingle 27In Shaft, Skipshooter 7ft. Anything shorter I'd go with a Skipshooter as long as I can. I have the 4,5,6,and 7ft lengths or a Predator with a shorter shaft of the same...

    Ok thats cool. It was just one person, which is why i said if true. The one weird thing is I asked them about a week ago about the 667v and whats inside now and they said they didn't know and to contact texas star...

    Not sure about them. I saw a recent post they didn't convert correctly, if true. There was one other place can't remember it as Im typing but they charge 75$ to mod it which I think is fair because I read the mod and it looks like it takes a little time to do it right. I think I might make a new...

    That's cool but basically my amp is for local fun, and local long distance. I like shooting skip barefoot. When skip is rolling in at 6 lbs Plus I make it through with 6 Watts lol. I also used my 955 and my 6666 on my 500 albeit turned down

    Yes thank you good to know I've been reading on that. I have a 300 amp alternator and the optima deep cycle battery. Im using 0 gauge wires. Also did the "big 3" in 0 gauge. Also liking the 1200 but it doesn't look like it's being made anymore. Yeah probably not going to get the 667 V and will...

    Yeah I read they put a few different things in them not sure what's in them now but I did email three different places that have them in stock so still waiting for an answer. Also still checking on the 1600 about running a low-power radio through it as I really want that DX979 to be my main...

    Would you know if I would be able to use a DX979 with the 1600 with no issues? That would be my main radio for it and when I want to get rocking i have a 6666 and a 955, but I recently read to low is not good either but that was just one old post somewhere, so far, and I really want the DX979...

    You said you had the 500. Is that the 500V? If so whats the V for as I see it still looks like 4 2879s only. I to don't like overdriving them which is why I am leary of that 2290, but as you said I have also seen they have a newer one but haven't read up on whats changed yet.

    From what I read the 667v is good for one final radios which i am guessing are the 4 watt ones that you turn down to 1 watt as the 667v has a 2290 which accepts 2.5 to 4 watts max pep will give you 60 watts pep out, which to me is a little high as the 2879 data says 6 watts to 10 max pep will...
