Re: Swr's
That is the exact set up I have a 980 with kl203p with a Sirio Fighter Edition 5000 & magmount on top. I've had the car up to 80 and it has had no issues at all, great 5 inch magnet Sirio has produced for its antennas, very good quality. I don't think you'll have any problems with it.

Re: Best AM sounding 10 meters radio ?
The Magnum radios have about as loud a modulation of any of the radios out there, they have a built in modulator kit, most problems come from "golden screwdrivers" turning the potentiometers to max and distorting/destroying the radio. A modest tune to get the sound quality right would be the first ...

Re: Top SSB Radios
I've had my Uniden 980 SSB for a couple of years now and it has been a very solid performer. It stays on frequency rather well with no drift that I am aware of. The receive is excellent, one of the best ones out there but not too sensitive. However, the audio is not that "big". If you want big audio...

Mike, I assume they don't have an issue with people putting antennas up considering you and you neighbor that put up the tv antenna which is fortunate. HOA's around my area are pretty uptight in some areas, I'm glad I don't have to deal with that.
