    D’oh!

    Honestly — no. This is the first home I’ve lived in down here where the grass isn’t super thick throughout the yard like St. Augustine.

    Believe it’s more of a Bahia type. Lots of sand around the houses here in North Port. Unless someone purposefully goes outta there way to grow St Augustine.. Bahia seems to be the common choices

    @shogun @ShooterK2

    Guy I load with sometimes, today said he's got a Galaxy 98 VHP he's wanting to sell. Looked like a good clean radio.

    Told me last time he had it on a meter, it was around 200 watts. My Connex 4600 is pushing 175. I'm happy with it, but I thought bout trading my spare radio ( Styker 497) and some boot.

    What's y'alls opinion?

    As far as power, you have to double your power to make 1 S-unit of difference on the other end. So the difference between 175 and 200 will be unnoticeable really.

    As far as the radio, I’ve never owned one but I hear they are nice and loud.

    Yeah I kinda figured power wise I prolly wouldn't notice any, but as far as radio, I wonder if there's much issue with them or and problems.

    The Stryker I have is a nice radio, but I don't like how bright the illumination is at night. It's never been my favorite radio but it's been reliable with zero issues. Just wondered what you guys thought

    It's been a while, but last I had it checked I think it was somewhere close to 100w
