I had one, found the 6' Firestik beat it at 550w from the TX Star 500 for both DX & local ops. Had planned to try the 7' but someone drunk changed my mind, replaced it with an SUV and now use one like this, but fewer turns to the coil and a 75" top & whip.
i got an open coil with 9 coils not sure if its a predator or not. the coils look identicle to the predator coils. have only counted 8 coils on predator antenna and 9 on the one i have and the material inside the coil area is like a burgandy red not black. anyone have any idea's? i have no markings on the antenna to indicate the make or model.
When you put your meter on the base, is the scales off also? You might need to calibrate? What's your most accurate scale, go from there. (That would drive me nuts)
Sweet looking install very clean and well done.
Diggin that Astatic 575-M6 microphone 💜

predator 10k BEST antenna ever
Cant beat a 102" whip. The bigger the antenna the better in the cb band. 11 meter
Really glad you made this video thank you!
I have one wont tune for crap in the truck bed. Have the 27 inch shaft. Tried all for corners so far.
As long as it is showing something, I know its working!
I would love to see what it's doing in average power. You have it in Peak power and it's going to be very generous
Not sure what you mean? The video is of the antenna!
Thanks for watching, Bulldog 777.
so when buying how do we know if we are buying the old or updated?
Where did you get the mounting bracket? What material did you use?
FM is a European thing!
so does a 102" steel whip have more receive and transmit than any of these shorter antennas ? and what is max power can it do ???
The Astatic 575 - M6 Microphone: Best Microphone on the World!😉
I like your meter where did you get it ?
I think the original Galaxy 99 was better than ver 2?
What is your SWR with that antenna

Probably Monkeymade or whiskey JR
Another radio screwed up by Doug. You how sloppy that radio meter is.
You still on the radio 777?
102 in whip will out talk it.
Bullshit
money spent to make the 959 150 watts could have just got a 94hp
