Best value for the dollar spent

I think this guy Jason has it figured out with 6 Watts @ 45 miles. Spent $89 on a Cobra 29 at Walmart and 65 bucks for the tune and $10 for the Firestik antenna . Me giving him a radio check from 45 miles away mobile to mobile is totally priceless. Until you can accomplish this you're wasting your money with amplifiers and big radios....

 

Having a perfect RF ground is a huge part of the equation.
My receiver sensitivity and all the modifications that have been done to my receiver are another huge part of the equation.
The modifications that were done to his transmitter are another huge part of the equation.
Our coaxial cable that we use is probably part of the equation.
The type of vehicle that he is transmitting from and the placement of the antenna on that vehicle has everything to do with how his system performs.
On a Cascadia with a single antenna mounted on the driver's door as opposed to Stacked elements outside the fairings on the rear of the truck the difference is night and day.

 

That's my whole point. If everyone had receiver sensitivity like mine, nobody would need to run amplifiers...

 

It gives you something to compare your antenna system to. Instead of listening to some idiot telling you there is nothing wrong with your antenna system, ask yourself how a stock Cobra 29 would reach out on your antenna compared to Jasons Cobra 29.
I did offer to help you solve your antenna issues if you get through my area on my days off.
The video is Just a baseline to compare to.

 

I never said it was stock. Those are your words not mine.
