Listen bubba ... don't make me take a load to SoCal just to thump ya ole friend... I appreciate the input though! I know everybody has their opinion on whats 'best' as well as for different circumstances whats good for one isn't for another. Mostly looking for a starting point to help narrow...

Yeah you should try it for my Semi trucks ... Last May Caterpillar had a 110% price hike ... I buy things in bulk when I can, like some O Rings. When I bought the bag of 100 I paid .14 cents each. They're now almost 5 dollars each ... It's Friggin INSANE! Glad the death wobble is gone!!

I appreciate the help but that isn't for a 97 and I don't have a super duty. '97 and earlier the F450-F550's were labeled as super duties but all had the same cab/interior as the rest of the F-Series. I have google searched, I have searched all over the interwebs for even custom made mounts...

Appreciate the info, I'm covered on Radio's just looking for input on the antenna's since there seems to be a lot of bad information floating around. I got pretty lucky at my place, others really weren't ....

Thanks for the input everybody!!! I only got one notification of a response, and the last couple weeks have been hectic with some pretty nasty storms doing a TON of damage last Friday - thankfully my property wasn't effected, however my neighbors and the rest of central kentucky weren't so lucky ...

Finally after something like 15 years I'm getting around to getting into the Amateur side of life! Looking for suggestions for a 2m mobile antenna as well as one for the base. If you can provide links to the specific antennas referenced that would be great. 73's!!

I like it! Looks good mounted up there. I need to make a mount to put a 2m in that spot on my OBS F350 ... Can't seem to find anybody who makes one anymore.

Nice!

At least you know you'll likely never see another.. Being unique has its bonuses

I've never used Whistler branded equipment, might some googling and reading on places like Scanner Master that do nothing but sell scanners - they even have a rail section. Personally I use a little Uniden BC125AT for my railfanning but it's paired with a mobile antenna - sorry I can't give...

I'd offer to bring the digging toys by, but your home 20 is a bit of a drive ... be far cheaper to rent something haha - I've been out here this is the 13th year and I've not had a radio setup at all the entire time. I really don't want to do anything temporary as I'm afraid it'll turn into...

A thousand Thank You's kind Sir!

I haven't bought em yet, actually thinking I'll build them. Higher quality and less money. 260 is dollars each is a bit much IMHO. I'm going to do this right ... it's the only way to do things. I don't mind doing things temporary or making due with what you have to now and again ... but in...

Awesome! Would you like my direct email??

I am a proud owner of one of Jay's I10K's that's been in storage for well lets just say too long! Due to a house fire back in Dec 2015 I lost a TON of manuals and documentation. Would anybody happen to be able to scan or photograph (There's a free App for your Phone called Genius Scan that...

When I used to run the west coast, both ways sucked... HAHA while I was headed in the direction of the home 20, seldom did I actually come home ... especially during the pandemic, it was a license to print money ... wouldn't do it again though. Some of the things seen/done ...never again.

Thank ya!! One of my Junkyard rescues ... Needs a paint job, new Tanks, and a TON of time with the buffing wheel on the aluminum ... hard to get things done when it works every day

Got it installed and adjusted so I'm mostly happy with how it is. Need to fiddle with the swr a bit more to get it down as low as possible. I have a thing for purple..

70 out of St Louis I'm guessing?? That's a long haul for work

Oh, I don't plan to go anywhere. I bought I house and property in 2010 and moved. When I bought this place, there wasn't high speed Internet Available or anything other than Dialup. Then I started my trucking company in 2013 (hey it's almost my 10 year anniversary!) and lost mom in 2014, House...
