Hooked up the sirio p5000

... Or maybe they just sold all they had?

Frank at DNJ is OK to do business with. He is a local guy where I live in the Bay Area of CA. He gives our SSB radio club some pretty fair deals and will sometimes even deliver the stuff personally as his business is just a few miles from where I live. Which saves a lot of money on shipping. Bought a bunch of stuff from him in the past; mostly antenna stuff. Some of the local operators have bought the Vector 4000; that is a very cool antenna. Bought the Sirio 5000 mobile antenna for a local old timer and installed it for him. Also a very effective antenna. He also sells 2m/70cm mobile Ham antennas too.

Hey Rob what kind of price would he have on a decient 2/70cm antenna?

I've had my sirio p 5000 for almost 2 years.

I purchased 2 sirio magnets and the p 5000.

They shipped the stinger open and bent in a U to fit it all in a smaller box.

I did bend the stinger back and the p5000 base was in a box.

Here is the p5000 compared to a wilson 1000 and 5000

Here is the inside of the sirio magnet.

Do you can get the Sirio 303 cable that H&Y sells and install it in the mag mount? Reason I asked of I have the pl5000 and the 145 magmount on it's way from H&Y.

P.S. your pics answered my questions about taking it apart to replace the 58 cableO) and put something more meaty in it's place

I had some rg/142 bu teflon insulated and double silver shield. I changed the coax on 1 of the mounts.
It was very easy to replace.

I believe the r303 assembly they sell is way over priced.
From italy it was anyway.

I haven't seen it at H&Y.
How much was it?


I have a reel of rg/142 bu which is double shielded and I believe much better than the r303.

Also a silver teflon pl259.

My concern would be the so239 in the mount.

I am looking into changing that to a Teflon insulator just to play around with it.

I still have the other mag mount I left stock in case I destroy it lol.


I have much better gain than any wilson 1000 or 5000.
The stinger is fatter and taller as well.

I like them all.

Oops! The r303 cable assembly is at DNJ's. Note: Several Sirio products at DNJ will be in stock on Feb. 28th
Sirio Telflon RG303 Coax Cable (4 meter) -- 2000 Watts, DNJ Radio

 

[dxerdave]

Hmm.
That doesn't look to have a pl259.

It almost looks like it is the so239 end that you snake through the hole and maybe provide your own pl259 which would be nice also.

I would like to get that matching so239 part. :drool:

I wish they had better pictures.

I'm not familiar with Sirio connectors yet give me some time...

 

[Lil'Yeshua]

Sirio Telflon Coax RG303, 4 meters, for max 2000 Watts, to use with Sirio Turbo-5000 and Performer-5000. I wonder if it can be adapted for the pl version!

 

[dxerdave]

Strange looking.
It doesn't look anything like the pl145 mounting

 

[Lil'Yeshua]

Ain't nothing a pair of dykes and a soldering iron can't handle. The 145 mag mount base is accessible. There you go.

 

[dxerdave]

Absolutely...
I've been all through the bottom.

It's just a strange looking piece.

If you get one post a few detailed pics.
