I spoke to a bloke in Germany who was using a Sirio boomerang with 2 watts power output on FM and was hitting me S9 R5

Doesn't mean I want to rush out and buy one to replace my 5/8 wave with one though. :lol:

I have a board similar to that in a Midland 3001 one. When changing channel it announces what channel you are on. These were used by blind operators. Wires are everywhere from it.

But it doesn't matter what channel you are on with a Fidelity 1000. You can hear all of them at once. ;)

That's where I maybe did it right..........I was using a Vortex Quasar Q64 and a Fidelity.......not a Yaesu FT5000 and a Boomerang ;)

I think you should try the Fidelity with a DV27 on a biscuit tin.

What a cracking setup that would be. :D
