    I guess you missed the point. I said for testing purposes only.

    I was in your shoes once and I gave up and I took the easy way out and it only took me 5 minutes to come up with my creative solution.

    I have a predator single coil and a Sirio 5K mag mount, for me the choice is pretty obvious Sirio all the way.

    My rx is pu everything that has been decently tuned in 20 miles radius and sometimes more than 20 miles.

    I am sure i could do better than 20 miles if i had the chance to talk with someone who has a similar setup as mine, but in my neck of the woods peoples doesn't want to spend a dime on a radio.

    As for SSB the radio barefoot has talk from Ca to Me plus some european countries and did get lot's of compliments, the only thing that i am looking to improve is my microphone & i am working on it as soon as i have the time.

    For the month that I had mine, before it fell off the truck, I was not real impressed. I think the Wilson 2000 I have on there now does better.
