[QUOTE="spif91, post: 1064527, member: 13366"] Drac I think the 10 meter radio's are actually illegal for us to run in UPS equipment. That's what I was told by a 30 year UPS mech here anyway. I was trying one out a few years ago to buy and had to run the power lead through the firewall and hook it up to a connection under the hood. It had a linear on it and was pushing over 100 watts. Kept blowing fuses in my tractor so I disconnected it and was told it was against policy to run anything like that. You can buy a Connex 3400HP or similar radio and have it peaked and tuned to around 25 or 30 watts and it should be all you need....I've been told drivers at the hub could here me talking 15 miles away after I had left. Decided then and there I needed to be careful who and what I was talking about with the guys I run with until I got a safe distance away....LOL [/QUOTE]
