    FCC ULS Database Privacy?

    I'm sorry this happened to you, but thank you for posting it all the same. This is the type of thing that concerns me. I'm glad it was you that answered the door and not your wife, gf or significant other. Regarding this thread - I was telling my wife how in response to my original post...

    FCC ULS Database Privacy?

    I'm not trying to live off-grid at all. Way too late for that. I'm trying to prevent this: My wife and I are planning a trip across country. While mobile, I inadvertently mention that we're traveling and give my call sign. Any person hearing the call sign can cross reference via ULS...

    FCC ULS Database Privacy?

    Thanks Wire Weasel. I think I'm jumping-the-gun here. From poking around the FCC ULS website I see that the easiest way to update (change) my address is online. To do that, I need my FRN number (which I have) and my FRN password - which I believe is coming in the mail. The only other...

    MAGNUM 257 HP Review

    Thanks 10M. I was looking at having both 10M and 11M capability by grabbing a 257HP. If I read correctly, you just set jumper "con3" and you have both bands. Don't know about mobile antenna tuning though. Was hoping to use the same Wilson 1000 for 10 and 11 meters. I actually got my...

    MAGNUM 257 HP Review

    This is a great thread for me, the newcomer. I am about to buy my first rig and the 257HP was near the top of my list. I have read every single post in this thread and I'm still on-the-fence. Even though I have a full size pickup (2006 Tundra), space is really an issue for mounting a radio...
