Thank you for all the help everyone. Mack Me and my Brother in law had a good laugh over your comment (He is a delivery driver for Miller) But we decided to do some shopping today and this is what he decided on and I think this will keep him happy but he will have to learn the radio a little. He sat and read EVERY review of radios on CBradiomagazine.com after I suggested the site and decided he wanted a RCI 2950 DX and a IMAX 2000. He had no idea what amp but kept seeing Texas star so a DX400 was ordered I gave him 100' of LMR400 and a Pyramid PS21 power supply with the agreement I would get it back someday. He ordered a Pyramid PS42 to run the amp. All of this was ordered from my local shop and he should have the amp and power supply by Tuesday. So far we have the radio hooked to the small power supply and the coax and antenna up. The antenna is chimney mounted on his roof on a 10 foot mast. He lives in a 2 story so this is maybe 60' to the base of antenna. SWR is 1.1-1.2 across the legal 40 and we ran out of daylight so we had to stop. I am trying to get him off the radio and on the forum but I think he has the "bug":w00t:my sister is going to kill me! He is Larry 708 on SSB but can't seem to think of a AM handle.
