How are they with holding dog hair and odors?
I'm trying to find something that isn't going to get hot like leather or vinyl and are easy to wipe clean and vacuum after the Lab has shed and slobbered all over them. Lol
I have a mxt575 with swr of 1.54 and power output of 48.8 watts.
That's using the midland antenna that came with the radio mounted on a sr offroad a pillar mount with the ditch light.
I tried the magnet mount on the rollbar and got a 1.01 swr.
Also, if you weren't already, check your output...
It is strange. A switched source is a switched source. Shouldn't matter if it's a power point, toggle switch, or aux switch that is controlled by the position of the ignition switch.
Just for fun, run a temporary power circuit to the battery with a toggle switch and see if it works. Shouldn't...
My 575 will power up when I turn on the Aux switch it's connected to.
For clarity, I initially turned the radio on with the power button on the mic and haven't touched it since.
