Which is why I remove the Browning's and put the factory fiberglass on when I'm home. On the road, just hafta hope I get woken up if someone is trying to steal them.

how do you like the T680 I like the way the hood slopes down you have real good vision I hade a sit into one at mats 2017 it felt comfortable and the cab was spacious .

As far as the new trucks go the 680 is nice. Only gripe I can think of is it seems they have a poor turning radius. I like the older trucks personally. The Coronado glider I drove got me hooked. Detroit 60 342 rear end lots of power especially pulling heavy up hills. If I had my choice I'd rather drive a KW 900 series with a cat 6nz or the Cummins n14.
stacks Thanks this. -
Stryker 497 100 watt radio. Gets the job done. Has a fan inside it doesn't overheat unlike a Hp 40 or a Connex 4600 turbowolverine11 and Flacrkr Thank this.

Thanks to your post I've looked at the 497s and I like them better than the general.bored silly Thanks this.

I used to run it into the fuse panel rather than run it off a power port on the dash.... On a Columbia or Century Truck......

I haven't seen the Brownings anywhere I've been lately. From the looks of them they are just a 10k with a flat coil?
My truck has been at a KW shop for a while, so I haven't been tinkering with it. At least one of the Skipshooters is definitely dead because I get a 3+ swr every time I screw them on. The verdict is still out on the Wilsons although I can already tell that they aren't receiving all too hot. They are pretty quiet though and I'm back to running the gain at 3/4.
I'll update once I get a better feel for them.bored silly Thanks this. -
Yeah but they don't get chewed up like a predator coil will. There more aircraft grade quality as are many Funky Mades.Hick Thanks this.

Cummings N14 turned up wide open is the S--TFlacrkr Thanks this.

Some far none of my antennas have been on the truck long enough to get chewed up
