Thank you. I have them in one bank MSP Events all channels, PMC and MMA. I drive a TT Unit for them F-Sunday for this event. I took a crate out of the garage and made me my Man Box if you will with a MCA204 4 port with 2 spare 50 Ohm Terminator when I don't need 4 scanners and an Austin Spectra Mobile Antenna on my tractor. Pickup truck and magnetic portable at home.
