I should have noted that my weekly commute is strictly highway driving.

Hey all!

As the title suggests, I'm thinking about upgrading my refurb 8500 to a V1. I have an hour commute every week, and I'm beginning to think an upgrade would be a good idea. What do I need...

RainX makes some great products. However, there is one pitfall. If you ever get a rock chip on your windshield, you will not be able to get a glass patch. I have a friend who is a glass man that...

Thanks for the information, Arvetus. Do you happen to know of a mount that will work well with what I'm wanting? I'm thinking the mount should be roughly the same as the one on your Tahoe, since you...

Hey everyone!

I haven't been around much lately - got busy with school and a few side projects. I think it's time to do a little upgrading on my setup. Currently I'm running a Wilson 1k for my CB,...

Why do you want to do that? The 8500 is SELF tuning, as is all of the S7, M3 and M4 based platforms. If you just want to spend your money that's your call. I'm sure that Escort doesn't mind taking...

Sending in an 8500 refurb for tune-up? This is one I bought off of eBay. My 6 month warranty is almost up, so I'd like to get it tuned before the warranty runs up.

Thanks!

I won't be moving the RD, for two reasons. One being that moving that cord would be a major PITA, and the second being that the tint strip does not allow me to position the RD correctly, and still be...

Hey everyone,

Well, after quite a few hours on the garage floor wiring stuff in, I've finally completed (or very close to completed) my setup in my '98 Blazer. I didn't get a shot of everything,...

"Open for skip" is an understatement. I just got my CB put in my new blazer, went to ask for a radio check, but couldn't get a word in edge-wise. It's absolutely ridiculous right now. Couldn't even...

Wow, that sounds great. I'd love if you'd send that study guide along. I think it's something I'd really love to get into.

Yeah, just go with NMO. You can swap antennas much more easily, plus they're not as lossy as the UHF mounts, and you're not limited to a single antenna and have to totally swap entire antenna...

Awesome. I found the mount, it's called an "L" mount. Don't have the link here at work, but I'll post it up later. I've also been contemplating becoming a ham operator, so this setup would work well...

Hey all,

I just got a 1998 Blazer that I'm looking into installing my equipment into. I'm looking to install both my CB and scanner antenna parallel to the AM/FM antenna, but on the driver's side....

You might look into one of these bad boys.

Thank you!

Hey everyone -

I was looking into putting a scanner in my truck, and was wondering if it was possible to use a CB antenna with it, as I have an extra lying around. Anyone have any insight?
...

Contrary to their bad rep in RDs, their CBs are some of the most highly used out there, and of decent quality. I've run a Cobra 19, Cobra 25, and a Cobra 29 and had great luck with all of them. I...

Jammers are illegal in Nebraska, none for me. Plus, I wouldn't redo any of my paint, ever.

Thanks!

Thanks guys!

Thanks! I love the truck. She's in good condition for a '92!
