Anyone getting any radio related items for Christmas?
I have two 4 inch UHF bulkhead connectors for my base coax under the tree... Is Santa bringing anyone else a radio gift?

I already got one radio related gift - a Uniden Washington base. Now I just need to find a tech to go over it. I asked for recommendations in a thread here on CBRT, but the last time I checked not one person had replied. The other radio related item I will be getting is a RigBlaster Advantage so I can do the digital modes (PSK31, RTTY, JT65).

Circuit breaker, there are a few techs that could go over them, turn around time will vary and in no particular order, there is bell's cb shop, DTB radio, Nickysbots, or Doug's custom cb radios. All the ones I listed IMO are good tech's, do some research and maybe you can narrow it down for yourself, like said, all are good techs and all do good work, it's your choice as to which one you will choose. Good luck and god bless.

Now that sounds like a classic Christmas morning...it could made into a movie.

I will enjoy opening my connectors but will also have to work 7am-3pm on Christmas day...but at 3:01 I'm bringing the house down

I will have to listen for you 1 Adam 12, you on 38lsb a lot? I may have already spoken with you and just don't remember. I'm 222 Daytona beach, fl. I talk a lot on 38lsb. Maybe we can try some dx'ing when the conditions are good. I know they have been good in the morning here in central Florida for the past couple days. Let me know. 357 are your dx numbers right? I will try to give a shout to you, let me know when you will be on the radio.

Silvereagle1, are you hard mounting it? If so there should be some photos of hard mount install, search the sirio performer pl5000, same as the turbo, just a different style locking nut.

May want to get a small piece of Aluminum and just use it as a back plate on the underside. I see what you mean about the larger hole.
