I too have a Lightning; a 2001 modified by me. Had a RCI 2950DX in it but the CPU board went out and it was expensive to replace so I bought a Stryker 490 for the Lightning. I use a Skythumper mic, an AM-COM digital speaker, and either a Wilson SW 2000 or a Predator 10K antenna.

Interesting to see a Lightning with a radio set up.

Nice radio....have heard those Strykers are known to be some of the clearest sounding radios on AM. And the Skythumper mic is known to be a good mic too.

I like the look of some of the new radios but mine work to good to change.

Thanks T-T. It had the 2950 in it(but the antenna was in the cab--quick disconnect) when, at the age of 62, we ran a 12.531 1/4 mile.

How do you like the bluetooth radio ? Does it sound all right to the people you are talking to or do they complain about how it sounds ? I thought about getting one but can not make up my mind .
