    Going to look at this radio tomorrow. Pictures show it as being in new condition. Guy is asking 175.00. He slip seats now and can't wire it to the batteries. Is this a good radio??

    They are a good radio,150+ watts but it will need to be wired to the battery.
    New it sells for around 350 to 375.

    Picked up the Connex today. Looks brand new not a scratch on it. Tested it and was getting out 10 miles between Middletown NY and Goshen NY. Guy on other end said i was hitting 9 pounds. Not bad! Paid him the $175 and left with a smile

    Sounds like you got yourself a good deal. What kind of antenna and coax are you running?

    Never measured it, just assuming its about four feet. Worked awesome with my galaxy. Well see how it works and go from there.

    Four foot is about the shortest antenna i would
    use. The longer the better.
