Ha! ha! What a coincidence you should ask. This morning I had driven to our local lake state park and parked in the middle of the wide open parking lot.
I attached the Laird coax to the Stryker 447HPC.
I established a clear and clean contact with a base station about six miles from my position. Leaving the Volume Control and RF Power Control knobs set, we chit-chatted for about three minutes, the incoming signal and voice recognition was great on both ends.
I removed the Laird antenna from the truck and disconnected the Laird coax from the radio and installed the Predator onto the Breedlove Stake Pocket Mount and attached the Predator coax to the radio.
Another three-minute chi-chat he told me that there was no noticeable difference in the incoming signal and volume on his end. At first he did not believe that I had changed antennas.
I have no doubt if the Predator was mounted on the roof, it would definitely beat-out the Laird, but I'm not going to install that monster Predator on the roof. I am staying with the Laird and leaving the Breedlove Stake Pocket Quick Release Mount on the truck and keep the Predator in a section of 3" PVC pipe in the bed of the truck.
