    My SWR is 1.3 on channel 1 and 1.6 on channel 40. The furthest ive talked is around 15 miles with my base setup.

    His mobile radio set up is way better than most "Base Stations". I know this because I built his radio and "Other things" that make a big difference. He talked to Hawaii from Central Texas on 3.8 watts on his Cobra 29. His firestik antenna has a beautiful sky wave.

    I would like to think the install has a little to do with that also. You can have the best radio and other gear, but if the installation isnt done properly your gear isn't going to perform worth a squat.... yes??

    I would say that is every bit as important as starting with good gear. If you have cables just looping around like a temporary install performance will suffer. I haven't had a vehicle good enough to do a proper install for a while.

    The "Sweet Heart Deals" are for close family only, not even first cousins rate deals this good!
