Nice setup. Do you get any comments on the radios and antennas at roadside inspections?

Looks good. For what it's worth, it may be a good idea to space those mirror mounts a little further apart.

 

[jonny290]

raise that yagi up about six inches and spin it so the elements are vertical; you're currenly losing almost 20 db of gain with the horizontal polarization

other than that awesome setup (if a little unsafe with the laptop there )

its only used on temp,basis mounts to 3 ft pipe and is strapped on drivers mirror when stopped for awhile

a few funny looks but no hassles i dont go to indiana where scanners are very illegal
lots of other driver ask me about them when i stop at truck stops for fuel

Nice looking setup. Between WLW (via AM or XM) and all of those scanners, things shouldn't be too quiet for you! I guess the WLW reference is me assuming most truckers listen to WLW.... I do when I can.

I've been really tempted to get an 800 mhz beam. That looks awful enticing!

Ahhh the days of cb radio. I love your RCI 2950!. My favorite radio when I was into cb's as well.
Take care

Nice Big Rig set up!

Scanners are also illegal in Kentucky, unless your a ham operator.

 

[Grog]

I see one of the greatest inventions for a OTR driver, the SkyFi2

 

[N4JNW]

Don't forget the Astatic noise cancelling microphone hooked to that 2950... LOL

We owe our greatest radio achivements to truckers. Echo boards and Satellite Radio.
