Message: [QUOTE="johnday, post: 22119, member: 595"] I've got 2 Uniden PC78Elites, 1 Uniden PC78LTW, and a Galaxy 949. One of the Elites I've had in the SD for 6 or 7 years, the other, I used to run in my big trucks. The LTW was bought to replace the Elite for the big trucks, that was dumb. I thought I was having problems with the Elite, but turns out it was the guys radio that was "helping" me. The Galaxy is my favourite. I had some money burning a hole in my pocket, and it was a good price, $129 from another driver, and the box was never opened. I put a good Astatic mic, and a Uniden talk back remote on it, and a Wilson something antenna, a 4 footer, with the vicegrip type clampon mount for the big truck, I was slipseating then, along with a 9' coax. That combination worked very well, as long as I got a decent ground on the antenna. I mounted it on the right side top mirror arm, so I wouldn't keep pinching the cable in the door. All mine are as barefoot as the day they were made, although, if I need it again, the Galaxy will be modified. The only mounting I've done out of the ordinary is on the SD. I sort/kinda modified a bolt on mirror mount to use on the driver side "dumbo" mirror. I'll try to remember to get photo later today. I saw on another SD of a friends, that he used a type of gutter mount on the back of the hood, with somekind of 4' whip. It actually worked pretty good.;) Just a little side note. If anyone has a radio with that stupid "Roger beep", turn that POS off, you're not as cool as ya think!!!! [/QUOTE]
