Yep - told him in the linked thread about my SBB-1 and SBB-7 experience. I know there was one truck at our last picnic get together that had the SBB-5. He liked it because I asked him about it since I'd been and still am contemplating the 5 for the Miata. 7 is to damn tall for the garage...even on the Miata and the 1 definetly has less range than the 7 based on cruiser usage with both.
 
Dan,

Ran in to a couple of SBB-5 users at SnT. Both were very happy with the antenna purchase. Didn't ask what radio they were running.

Thanks for the feed back. If I can break away from work this week at lunch I am running over to HRO to pick up everything.
 
Picked up my radio, antenna and mount yesterday. Went with the Yaesu FT-7900 radio, Diamond K-400C mount and Comet SBB-5 antenna. Guy at HRO thought this was a good set-up and raved about the stability of the K-400 mount. He showed me his car with that mount and an antenna about 3" in diameter sitting on it.

Hopefully will get it all installed this weekend.:D
 
I have the same set up, expect am running 7800r. I like the sbb5 plenty. Nice and clear, hit big bear repeater from out in the mojave preserve (roughly 100 miles) last Jan and also from west los angeles (90 miles I think). I think you'll be happy too.
