Yep Robb, the JG is lots of money and it always has been. This is why I suspect that much of the words we hear regarding JG ownership from CB'rs has been CBBS...guys wanting one and talking it up with a lots of Wolf talk. I think most of the JG crowd are the power hungry types, so no tellin' what your likely to hear from them.

On the low power side of the ledger, I remember long ago, Wilbur my neighbor with the JGSOG, telling me that my Starduster signal was way down compared to others in this immediate area. I also recall being able to hear stuff sometimes that these guys said they couldn't hear. So, I said it must be the SD'r, but I wasn't sure.

Later on I took the antenna down, and found out I had water in my old second hand Mini8 coax, and it had been there a long time. Long enough to turn the shield black and green in spots along its 100' length. So, sometimes we might not know what's really going on with our antenna systems.
