Striker SR-A-10 one year review 

They sure do great. And work well on 10 meter SSB with out a tuner.

@@mikecricket113 I listen to some 11m FM yesterday. I may look for an all mode CB. Channel 29 FM was really busy. I dont have FM right now but I have been hearing more activity on 29. May have to get on there one of these months.

That’s Awesome 👏 to hear

its totally possible I have worked people in Kentucky on channel 24 AM throughout the year. seems like its the official frequency. Thank you for watching and telling me what you are running. Its a great hobby. The original social media. 73

I think in the manual it says something about the lights. And also that was a good idea to use the nail polish to block it out. As of the hands-free. Radio operators are exempt they’re talking about people using cell phones. At least that’s how in is in the keystone.

Well in my state as far as the hands free law. They say anything that distracts a driver counts. I had a woman rear-ended me not to long ago. Even though I know she was texting she told the trouper she was reaching for a pen that had fallen on the floor. So he still tagged her with distracted driver. Which is the same law with phones that nobody pays attention to here. Im in Ga.

@@mikestacey6623that would be incorrect. Radios and GPS are e empt from the Georgia law so they can’t be called a distraction.

I really like it and it works really well on 10 meter too. Everything is extremely expensive these days for sure. But this antenna will improve tx and rx range. Just be careful of low limbs bridges and garages.

@@ShoMoto-ko1ix if you unscrew just the base or cylinder that has the coil inside and cap the magnet mount. Like if you were about to drive into a parking garage. I would say NO. as long as you did not take out the whip from the base via the two set screws. But if you took out the whip and can not remember what the position is. Then you will have to check swr. Not sure what radio you are running but most radios have internal swr meters so it’s good to check any. Honestly it’s very important to occasionally check swr of your antennas. Things happen. Coax can get crimped. A whole list of issues. I hope this helps. 73.

Or a modified one from a truck shop technician. I know our local cb shop was upgrading them as well

No there was an update due to water problem

K40? Alright. I’ll look into it

@@mikecricket113 check also Hustler HQ-27 this one was raved about in old magazines.I am putting together a list of classic mobile antennas to test

Would you recommend it?

Yeah buddy. QRP for some QRO for others. As long as we are having fun that’s all that matters. Thanks for watching 73

Try it as it is right now. The maximum usable frequency currently is at 34.36 MHz.

Skip is all about conditions and right now the conditions are brilliant so get on the radio I’m sure you’ll make a contact as long as somebody can hear you. And usually if you can hear them they can hear you. I wouldn’t even bother changing your set up. I’ve worked plenty of Dx with that antenna and the McKinley on side band with just 12 watts

@@mikecricket113 I make some contacts but I have to call out 20 times before I get just 1 response! Crazy I tell ya…

@@Fox250R you have to speak the language to get people to talk back to you. Radio is all about your location so make sure you include your location in your CQ call to increase come backs

@@dxfordummies oh yes I do! CQ CQ CQ DX! :)

Thanks for the input

thanks Mike for increasing your audio.

Take care of the stuff you own it will last longer. Now it’s older than a year.

Where else you going to run a mag mount?

I run mine the same way in my trunk of my car it does not affect anything just makes a small mark on the outer coax but does not affect anything

I ran mine behind the weather stripping along the door for the extended cab in my Silverado and haven’t had any issues with it getting pinched.
