    I've been doing radio checks the intermittently as I've been driving down the road for the past several days. I feel like a broken record. When I get a response, I ask for their location so I can estimate my range.

    There has to be a better way. And by better I mean less time-consuming, less monotonous, and perhaps more accurate.

    I've been doing the same thing for a couple of weeks. I'm still struggling to find the problem with my setup...I hate to ask for radio checks in fear of being bothersome

    I found my 2020 Cascadia built in roof Antanna gets about a mile behind me. Still working on putting outside mounts on. Radio is President Andy.

    I found a solution to new Cascadia mount issue. I saw a Crete driver. And he said it was called a CB peg for Cascadia. It screw into volt hole just one and done.

    Link?

    And I'm still curious to know if there is a better way than annoying everyone with my radio checks.

    Huh? Can't tell if you're being funny or serious. I typically don't call people from forums. Can you just explain here?

    Try not to "beat around the bush". Just ask what you want and give your location right away. Don't need to say "hi" or ask is anyone is around. Just spit it out. you are looking for a distance check or whatever it may be. whats the best route through here, where is a good place to take a dump?
