I had that same poor reception last year and then it fixed itself last year. Now its back, crazy thing is it happend both times after the race at mineral wells.

Well it was a long process thru trial & error to find out what was wrong...but what came out of it was they replaced the whole system and head unit.

I haven't had any issues after they fixed them all.

I hope you don't have to go thru that.

Chris, is a Taurus judge. Shoots 2 1/4 inch 410 shot shells and 45 colt. A guy I used to work with had a s&w 500. That thing was incredible to shoot.

For farther away subjects you would want your shot to stay tighter for a longer period so you will have more shot hitting your target.
i found this, might help make choke choices
Chris, I definately want to go, even if it you just us.... need to shoot some stuff, its been a while

Scott, I have a face plate from my original unit after the CD changer got jammed. Do you have the 6 disc changer head unit or the basic one ?

I thought you can try to change out the front face plate and see if that helps anything.

Travis...we should definitely go Sunday...I will call and check out the hours....hopefully they don't have any huge Radio sponsored event going on...'cause if they do, then it will be impossible to get on a pad.

Plus, Dove season is gonna start up in 2 weeks and peeps will be out shooting to get back into the swing of things.

And I haven't heard of a mic on our Z that controls volume....maybe on newer models....but I don't think I have that feature.

That's just Speed Controlled Volume (SCV). It's been on cars for years. All it does is increase the volume based on your vehicle speed to overcome road/wind noise. There's no sensor or microphone as it's all pre-programmed. You can even adjust how sensitive it is to your speed.
