Called 55 today

[the_junkie]

And I'm gonna be sending him money on tuesday to get my 55-r4s for the mobeal.

He seems like a nice guy, and said that he usually gets the antennas out the next day, which is very impressive when they are made-to order.

I'll post up results as soon as I get the antenna mounted up on the truck.

if you go to the fatboy site, then go to antennas, and the antennas with fb before it are 55 antennas. they are cheaper to get directly from 55 though, he doesn't do stingers, but he reccomends using 102's cut down. Chargers do come with stingers, but still costs more than a 55 and a 102...i did the math

[super20dan]

i have a r5 on my truck-its outstanding!.

I would like info on his base antenna. How do I get in touch with him?
You can email me info @ cobraman097@yahoo.com

Junkie, didn't you just buy an antenna for the mobile from ZMAN?

[the_junkie]

no, that was swamphog who bought one for his mobeal.

I have a monkey, but i'm gonna run duall 55's on my setup.

[SARGE]

yeah that's right! i am always getting the two of you mixed up!

What ever happened to your attempts at a base setup? You'd had a decent Cobra 139XLR too....I tried to help you out with your questions you sent via PM a number of times. You never did it? Just wondering what happened?

55 antenna is a nice antenna i use them for my backups
only problem is had with the 55 antennas is the top section above coil where stinger goes in gets really warm almost to warm to touch
and i have some tough hands and that pretty warm

i fixed the problem :
took the stinger out drilled out the hole to 3/8 X24 thread and screwed in the bottom section of 102 whip and chopped it down
heat has not been back
i had 3 of these antennas an all 3 had the same heat problem

other than that the 55 is a great antenna

the 10k has never had a heat issue after keydown

but these are the only 2 antennas i will run on my suburban

I have been focusing my money and effort on the mobeal first, then i'll do the base afterwards.

Things just weren't working out financially to do both at once, so i'm putting the base off for now

what kinda RMS were you running through it when it would get hot?

[North Texas Mudduck]

you want that in dosey watts or you want that in bird watts
sorry dosey is out the question it only goes to 5000
and my pdc 6000 dont work no more
it pegged the 5000 scale and smoke came out the back
