Seeing as i have am now a fully paid up member i reckon I can ask another question from all you wizz kids out there!
Messing about with arials on my GME TX4400 I can't find one that suits all the time, so is there such a thing as a spliier box that would allow me to have a 3db gain and a 9db gain fitted at same time, or do I have to choose one or the other? Currently using a 4.5 db gain which is fair for most situations but not ideal in any. I do a mix of flat country and mountain driving

Andrew,
You can get them but when enquired about them the salesman said that he would sell me one but I would not be happy with it.
What you can do is to run the coax cable from the 3db and the 9db and even the 4.5db aerials and have them marked so you know which is which. When you want to change aerials just unscrew one aerial and replace it to the back of the radio.
A bit of mucking around but you wont be changing aerial every 5 min.
The other way is to have the same base and just change the aerial.
