Have you tried to call him?
If you know, you know......currently can still be bought at Walmart. Who knew? Francis M20 Aluminum Three Hole Di-Bar for Co-Phasing Antennas -...
So true. The company trucks, Cascadias, I use to drive were a great example of that! Great SWR but by the the time the signal got to the antenna...
Reversed polarity when you hooked it up and blew the protect diode. (that is what I'd check first.)
You bring up a good point. I had my 7ft Skipper supported off the mirror. It was ugly but effective although I never did any comparisons with...
It won't out perform a steel whip or the 7ft SkipShooter.
I'm retired too, but I use a class 8 to pull my RV. I didn't listen to the video long enough to hear the price, but I figure it is ridiculously...
Well I'm not from Missouri, but the state line is just a few miles north of me.
Anytone has proven to be a decent China made radio. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one. They have some neat features and sound good.

Running a ground "wire" longer than 18" or so is liable to make it act like a radiator for your signal. You want all the signal going out the...
That would be better than nothing, but not near as good as it could be. Depends on what you are willing to settle for I suppose.
For the money, a Cobra 29 and a 350 or so, Texas Star, or similar, will not be out done by any un-amplified radio that I've ever seen. Antennas...
Use flat braid for all your bonding (grounding) purposes. Keep those straps under 18". Make sure your antenna mount is attached to bare/shiny...
Cobra 29 and a well matched amp and antenna and you will out talk most all the high dollar radios.
