What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[Sparksalot]

Nice setup I too use proclipmounts and just recently switch to rammount. I'm running a XTL5K and a Uniden HP2. What antenna setup you using ? I originally had a comet lip mount on the driver side door jam but have finally Swiss cheesed the roof with 2 NMOs. Let me tell you when you switch from a lip mount to a Nmo the RX end is stellar now !

It’s in there…

Seriously, I saw the antenna up there and told the dealership to leave it alone please.

it had an old 3G cell booster installed. Base is NMO, with RG58 coax. It does have an SMA on the coax, so less stressful on an HT.

Now featuring a Tram short dual band ham antenna.

Larsen has always been premium priced. I had a bunch of them until greedy divorce attorneys got involved.

now the choice is high priced made in Taiwan stuff, or reasonably priced Korean stuff.

Larsen has always been premium priced.

True that, I’ve collected up so many Comet, Diamond, Larsen, PCTel, maxrad, Laird and Motorola antennas over the years of being into radio communications for the 2 decades. Grr women suck bro

Wife has 2019 Yukon xl, 60,000 miles, bought new, SLT

Just bought 4th battery so idk what’s going on.

First one went bad in less than 1 year, dealership replaced, second one lived awhile and died, 3rd one was autozone and lasted 1 year, 4th battery bought and installed at pep boys last week for $250 :-( bc the wife was stranded, car wouldnt start.

We have 4 kids and I always try to make sure stuffs unplugged, IDK.

So the Tech2 is the diagnostic unit used for the gmt900 and earlier rigs.

What is the unit used for the K2s?

Definitely sounds like a sneak circuit. I had the same problem in my teardrop. I finally installed a boat master off switch in it to save the battery.

They have high temp insulation.
