I run a Galaxy 55,Texas Star667V,Predator 10K setup in my pickup.And in the house I run a Galaxy 2527,TramD201A,Dak Mark X,Fatboy 1x4,Midnight Special 1x4,Galaxy 250 and other various goodies.I'll post some pics when I figure out how to use my digital camera.

What do you guys use?????

In my truck I have a Galaxy 959, Aries DM452 echo mic, With a wilson 1000 roof mount. In my house I have a Uniden Washington with a Galaxy echo desk mic, and a Cobra 142GTL with an Astatic Night Eagle with an Antron 99 on the roof. I can also use my old Sadelta echo desk mic. In fact all my mics in the house are interchangable.

 I also have a Craig 4201 base radio with a Turner plus 3B in my work shop with a Proton 99 30 feet in the air on masts.  Needs work....receive is gone. I have a Galaxy Saturn Turbo being repaired but it might not make it. We'll see.

That's about it.

I don't know who's working on that saturn but just in case I have a line on one and I'll let ya know.Those are great radios,if people would just stop trying to squeeze that extra couple of watts out of them.Every once in a while I'll come across a Galaxy 11 or 22b and if you get a chance you might want to grab one if they're cheap.The 22b is the same as the 2527 and it screams.I think Ridgerunner has one for sale.

Cool...I'll have to save my pennies. Who knows? Maybe I'll get lucky.

We now have a radio in Dippy's boat....a Cobra 19 with an Aries DM452 echo mic. It has a Firestick 4' no - ground antenna that works well. Got it to a 1.1 match.  Eventually we'll get a better radio but this will work just fine for now.

Radio not working too well anymore in the boat. Need to work on a better one.

Picked up a couple of nice radios on ebay....Craig 4102 mobiles. Also a tug-9 with one of those studio heads on it. All together it's about $75. Will post a comment when they come in.

Received both radios and the mic. The radios work just fine. One has better receive than the other but other than that they are the same. The mic is in excellent condition. No scratches anywhere and it works great. Not as loud as my Galaxy or Night Eagle, but loud enough for it's age. I am going to post pics of all my equipment so everyone can see it.

There you go....posted pics of my equipment in the photo gallery...I have one more radio to add. A Galaxy DX929 that's in my wife's car. If I can I will post it this weekend.

Base: Galaxy Saturn (slightly tweeked), with a D104 silver eagle, under a Solocron 2000 (about 65ft up)

That's a nice setup crazy train, beautiful radio it just needs it's own shelf!!!

Take another look...I have all my radios posted, just not my wife's 929.

My bad, I'm going blind in my old age!!!

I'll have to update my CB pics...got rid of one radio and gained a couple of others....will keep you posted. Oh yes, will also include a picture of my wife's 929 that didn't make it the first time around.
