    Hello, everybody! I am currently using 2 radios in my truck: Stryker SR-955HPC and Quad-5. My antenna is Sirio Performer, because all other antennas doesn't come even close to Sirio.

    How do you like the quad 5? I have been looking at those and they look like they have a lot to offer.

    Quad-5 is a hell of a radio! Believe me or not, but everybody keep telling me that my Quad-5 sounds better than my Stryker! Very good radio! I am selling them left and right--can't keep them in stock!

    Kc..Nothin wrong with passing on your personal preferences bud..As for the cascadia..My lord it gives me a headache and i still got a few weeks before it shows up..
    I have an older tx star..Hdv 350....Had a radio guy in carilse set it up...Its not in my truck yet cause i wanted to wait for my new truck..Made a lil mod to my box and it help a lil with pep..Tech told me it bounced into the 390's to 400.....Im more than happy with those #'s considering i only paid a $100 for the ts..

    Nice! $100 is the very best price I ever heard. Which channel you are usually on? Besides 19, of course? Do you talk on SSB?

    You don't have to have a license to talk to people on SSB. And those Ham guys are full of #### if they treat people like that. I am a HAM operator and I never treat people like that. My user name is my call sign by the way.
