    The other thing to consider is that most truck drivers these days are either running their squelch up/gain down or running crappy factory antenna systems. It's hard to get a good range report from a random truck driver as a result.

    Before I resolved the noise issues in this truck, I managed to do around 10 miles mobile to mobile with my little PC-122.

    The Q27 was better than the Predator with 27" shaft, at least it didnt put stress on the mount, so actually it wasnt that bad.

    I don't see a 7' SkipShooter performing any worse than a 7' Firestik.

    Probably not but I gotta give Craig a hard time when I can lol he's running the7ft. Skipshooter now he says. If he talks and receives 26 miles he might have a heart attack. He'll be so happy
