    Is being Better than the Worst of the Worst a bragging point?

    Home Retevis Ailunce HA1G GMRS IP67 Handheld Review

    Hopefully it's much better than the HD1 which was made for DMR. I have owned it for several years & it's far from great. It talks & hears just fine but trying to change memory channels or frequencies can by quiet the trip to the funny farm. My best friend also has one & he Hates it & has stopped...

    Co phasing (4) 102" whips vertical?

    They make a dipole kit for using dual antennas. It already has everything & all you need are two antennas of the same type or band. Not expensive at all. It makes it far simpler with no guessing. No counterpoise needed.

    MFJ-998 Firmware 1208 Latest Downward Power reading

    When I transmit an SSB signal my 998 shows my output at around 19 watts but I'm actually putting out just below 100 watts from the ICOM 7610.. In all other modes the wattmeter on the 998 is pretty close to being correct. I don't use the wattmeter in the 998 since it's not a PEP Reading...

    New Starduster Antenna

    I’m doing it on 10-17 meters and most other Vertical CB antennas will not do so.I have local friends who have tried their base CB antennas and they will not tune and when they do they don’t talk or hear worth a crap. We live just a couple of miles apart yet they can’t work many stations that I...

    New Starduster Antenna

    I keep reading that but I just keep working the World Daily with mine so why would I complain? If it's not broke I'm not going to try & fix it. {:>)

    New Starduster Antenna

    I have been using an ANTRON 99 at 30' for over 20 years & I use it from 10-17 meters with pretty good success. I have worked all over the world with it & it was a gift so I can't complain. I'd buy one as a replacement if needed because it's been thru a lot of Florida thunderstorms, a hail storm...

    Home Elecraft K4D Noise Reduction compared to BHI NR module

    I use the BHI & ClearSpeech DSP modules or DSP Speakers with every radio I own that does SSB or AM & that includes my ICOM 7610,ICOM 9100,ICOM 7000,& ICOM 703+. I HATE noise so I do what I can to remove any & all of it that I possibly can. I have never heard ANY radio that can compare to the...

    CB channels for FM use

    FM is far more stressful on finals than SSB & Zero Forward output power. I much prefer AM & SSB over FM any day. I don't understand the thinking of the FCC on adding FM?

    I think of FROG because she was a BABE & I wanted her to put her feet on my dashboard so badly. W4KVW {:>)

    Better than average SSB radio

    I believe you can rule out adding FM.I believe the Cobra 2000 is pretty much a Cobra 148 GTL in a Big box?

    Anyone tried this screwdriver?

    I use the Harvest Outback 2000 as a portable antenna & it works great. I've never used it on 80 meters since it's not a band that I care much for.It does not have a motor so it's manually tuned.

    TELL US ABOUT YOUR SETUP

    I forgot to mention that I use the RED HEIL FIN with the 7610 & either the HEIL PR-781 or the EV RE-320 with the 9100.I have (7) HEIL boom microphones & those mentioned are my Favorites.

    TELL US ABOUT YOUR SETUP

    I have a NEW ICOM 7610 & an ICOM 9100 with both Optional roofing filters & the D-STAR module installed. I hope to get the New tower & antennas up soon & until then I'm using the Antron 99 at 30'. for my HF QSO's. I will plug in the ICOM PW-1 as well once the HF & 6 meter yagi antennas are back...

    TRAM D201A help needed

    I believe if it's a Late model it should have the Grey/Gray main tuner box & Not the Black one.
