Mark S. @ Fine Tune CB (Hardrive)

Well I guess it would be able to handle my stock 4 watts, by the way Im in Dallas Tx and skip is hot and heavy from the Northeast, havnt heard skip in a while.

 

that's good news like I said your not going anywhere for a long long time.I would think your diet and eating healthy will help you tremendously

 

I have stepped away from lots junk food like i was eating the first five or so yrs of truckin..Im far from a health nut and still loves a donair/pizza slice/cookies n ice cream as a treat now and then but im not eatin like that like i sued to..
Todays smoothie for exame was yogurt,apple/bananna/rasberrys/blk berrys/blue berrys..Was some good to..

 

The 6/7 ft fs or skip shooter has been on my short list but no truck stop or cb i ever see has them..

 

Thats soo very true but to me i think just cause they cant get out far i should be able to hear and they me even though they cant trans far..In other words i can trans and rec lots more than them..It makes me question my set up..
My god ill be so ticked off if i come to find out my set up is fine and its been the poor set up of other drivers..

 

I think its always poor rx capabilities on other radios. My best contacts are to base stations with excellent antenna setups, and sometimes other mobile setups will say " your fading " and we are only 3 miles apart.

 

Craig, I bet if I were in my Ford F 150 with my Galaxy 99v2 and wilson 1000 magnet mount antenna, I m sure we would be able to communicate 15 to 20 miles no problem.

You should be by now.

I stepped away from this to work on the CB project. I know I have a good setup on the rig I'm using to test with but everyone else seems to have a setup that sucks, today I confirmed that. We had visitors at the little shop on my rented site, it was a Canadian driver who has been helping me do testing, he is over in Windsor and we regularly talk. Well today he had his truck over here and stopped by. I tested his setup, the radio was fine but the coax was bad, so it got replaced. Now he can hear me with no issues going east on the 401.

 

west Memphis I think ray and the other shop sell them there... if you make it thru there ...

 

Bob's CB Shop sells the stainless steel dipole bracket or you could make your own
