My 98+ does the same thing and thats in the same vehicle too.

Also, sometimes when I switch it off (using the volume knob on the rig - its wired direct from the battery) the illumination goes but you can still see the channel digits (ie, 19).

Its annoying but ive learned to live with just ...

Personally I like it or rather want to like it but im sceptical about how easy all the touch sensitive stuff would be whilst on the move? Im talking about basic stuff like volume and squech (im assuming there is some sort of mode button you click through to get to the setting you want?).

One thing ...

a stampman i heard when you drive with the sirio 4000 it bends so much it cracks something inside the base..
so i just park up and use it

best wishs paul 26 tm 315 :roll:

Good call although for static mobile I think you could do a lot worse than a Tank Whip @ £15...Nearly 9ft tall so you ...

I would love that Taylor 3 but you cant get them in them in the UK (can you?)....

ATB, Jon.

Very strange, I have a 5ft springer and can get my SWR to 1.2 on UK20, 1.5 on UK1 & UK40. Admittedly its body mounted in the centre of the roof but having said that I had a problem at the weekend so tried my mag to see where the fault was and it was still under 1.5 on UK ch20.

A friend of mine has ...

Hi Stampman,

Well, it looks like ive been a lucky boy and the radio is OK. Took it to my local specialist who tested it out for me on a meter, the radio is still putting out 4w and TX / RX was fine.

Stripped the car (head-lining out etc) and removed the coax and managed to break the connector on ...

Hi All,

I think my Midland 98 plus is toast. I was out all day yesterday with some friends and I was having trouble breaking through their auto squelch but they could all hear each other fine. Did a few test and it would appear that unless I have perfect line of sight with another radio they cant ...

I did like my little Wil, only problem I had was I couldn't get it to SWR below 2 but it did pull in and get signals out there. The tax rebate did come through and I did get the big bro, a Wilson 1000, looks massive on the car but it really does work well.

Interesting... Ive managed to get a ...

I have a Midland 98, all I would say is its OK . There is nothing wrong with it but its been about for a while now and im convinced there are better radios available for the same or maybe a little bit more money.

As Stampman says, the Intek is sure to be good. Why not take a look at the new Maxon ...

Hi Simon,

Nice little video there, gives a good overview of the radio. =D>

Would you personally rate this as the best budget radio compared to say the Team ME-4, Midland 121, Intek 110, Midland 98 or dare I say Harry 2??

ATB, Jon.

Hi Simon,

Sounds good. Just goes to show its not always good to tar all radio's from one manufacturer with the same brush (not you obviously, just most tend to assume because a manufacturer makes 1 or 2 dodgy radio's they are all bad).

Well done Maxon, might even get one myself to have a play with ...

Leicester to Berkshire - you were doing well. What equipment were you using?

Thanks Fatfinger, very useful.

ATB, Jon.
