I got one for the Tacoma. Need a new antenna base for the 4runner. The tape or whatever on the bottom of the magnet tore so the mounting bolts/nuts are rusted as fuck and affecting my receiving range. Had major issues hearing @Airdog when he got more than a 1/2 mile ahead of me.
Those BTECHs are nice. I eventually would like to get one. If I remember right, they have a 4x band unit?I might get one for the tundra. Good to have when heading out to the desert towing the rigs.
Anyways, Danny if your RX is poor, then be really careful with TX!!! You are likely having VSWR issues you don't know about until you put a meter on it. If you have that mod day, I'll bring my radio equipment and look at you VSWR. If you have a high VSWR and then TX'ing, you're frying your amp output "finals"!!!
But yeah, let me know if you have that mod day and I can also pay for my F***ED-UP Hoodie the same day!!!
That's a nice radio! With 65W output, you definitely have some good range going.Well no returning it now. Mod is done and packaged back in the box
