Internationals.. yep yep and yep.. we've even got some older Freight Liners... and the truck issued to me could change any day. All the ones I've seen so far have had about the same mount though. For a lack on knowing what to call it, it's just a stainless angle nailed to the mirror post on one angle and the antenna stuck through the other angle. I've not measured the height available yet to get up to the 13' 5" roof of the trailer.
So far, the 95T or T2 you mentioned above look like a prime candidate. I've been reading... and reading.. Many people seem to like this one. It has the SSB, and lots of watts, and a two year warranty.
The 200GTL scares me, as I think I'm reading mixed reviews. Is it true that some people have trouble with this model after a tech has touched it, or am I off base here?
My main concerns are:
Having a LOUD radio, that sounds GOOD!
I want SSB, mainly to play, learn and have fun.
I'd like reliability for sure!
Toys are a plus, since I've never had them.
I keep saying LOUD Radio. This is not to go around the neighborhood blowing people away on three channels. I'm a relatively old guy, a very considerate person, and I believe in being a good neighbor. I just want to be able to get out if I need to, in an emergency or for local info. I don't want to wait 5 hours, until some other a$$ finally gets tired of blasting the world away, just to find the next closest truck stop.
Simply put, I don't care much about the money, I just want a great, LOUD, radio system, that's clean sounding and reliable.
I'm still reading.. probably on the road again tomorrow, and I really appreciate ALL the help you guys are giving up!
