    Mag Mount Placement

    I'm going to use a Sirio 5000 antenna along with a magnet mount from a Wilson 5000. My question is where would be the best place to put it on top of my '03 Silverado extended cab? In the middle of the cab, towards the back of the cab, or does it matter where? And one more question is the magnet...

    Wiring up an Magnum XLF-20C Noise Filter

    Like I said the last time I used the cig. lighter to power the radio and I could hear a high pitched whine in the background. Not like an alternator whine, if that makes any sense? So I'm gonna try it without the noise filter first straight from the battery and see what happens. Thanks for the info!

    Wiring up an Magnum XLF-20C Noise Filter

    Well I had the power run from the cig. lighter last time and it was like you could hear a high pitched whining in the background so I figured I'd try the noise filter. It can't hurt can it? What size wire would give me the voltage from the batt. through the firewall to the radio?

    Wiring up an Magnum XLF-20C Noise Filter

    I'm getting ready to run a hot wire from the battery through the firewall on my Silverado to power my Magnum S-9. I plan on using the Magnum XLF-20C CB Radio 6-16v DC Noise Filter. Where do I put the noise filter, out under the hood close to the battery or inside under the dash close to the...

    A Quick Fix?

    I have an Magnum S-9 and it was mounted in a Peterbilt truck that I drove. Well I also used a gear keeper on the mic, well where it was mounted it let the mic swing back and fourth in front of the radio. I din't notice it at first but it was hitting the volume/squelch knob every now and then...

    Alternator Whine

    What or is the best In-Line Noise Suppressor that I could use to get the alternator whine from my Magnum S-9. I drive an '06 Peterbilt and when the alt. starts charging you can't hear nothing. I've had the batt. terminals cleaned and it helps for a little while. When it starts whinning you can...

I'd like to sell it but I don't know what...

    Antenna Conversion

    I have what I think is a Sirio P5000 antenna with a connector on the bottom that looks like a Wilson 5000 mag mount after you screw the coil off, if this makes any sense. What I need to know is what parts do I need to convert it over to a regular antenna connector?

    Thanks Again!

    MFJ 259b R & X

    I like the 259b because I screw it onto the bottom of the mounted antenna to check the SWR's so I know when I've got my antenna adjusted right. Then I go to the coax and do the same. So what would be a good SWR meter for use on mostly for mobile antenna's?
