    And that is it in a "nutshell"!!!

    (The Monkey Made good points IMHO is it is so broad banded, and more importantly, it is of all welded construction so there are no connection points to corrode and cause problems. It is, however, hard on mounts because it so heavy.)

    Good Morning Bruce (Friday morning:biggrin_255:)
    The "all welded" construction is a good point for a truck driver. It doesn't take very long for grounds and stuff to get corroded. The MM is maintenance free in that regard.
