I recently posted a thread stating I had the need for a manual for a TYT TH-9000 radio. Trying to decipher how to get through the setup of various functions like offset and the tones was fairly next to impossible. After getting a lead to get the manual I got busy and got down to business.
I always thought the two meter band was just a bunch local rag chewers. After getting setup for the repeaters in the area I found it was so much more. I have been bitten by the "Curiosity Bug" and now I'm going to check out every thing else pertaining to the methods of transmission.
RTTY, and International Morse code are on the slate now as well.
I hear a high pitched squeal in the back round, I think it is my wallet springing a leak or the wife has just seen this screen and she has a pillow to her face screaming! Yep, it is her screaming.

By the way thanks to Gary for the lead to the manual.

Your Welcome Tallman anytime

The dog house? 12'X16", insulated, air conditioned, multiple 220v outlets, cement floor, so the dog can be comfortable.

I visit the dog often :sneaky:

As long as the pillow isn't on your face. Being held there by the XYL. It's all good m

She claims it is to help with my sleep apnea!

Man cave is already built! I have a 12' x12' room in the all metal garage with a Faraday cage built in. Sheet rocked, insulated and plywood panel on the floor heating and air conditioning are going in next. After that the beer cooler and bar. Satellite TV will go in at the same time.
I already park my motorcycle in there. I am thinking of getting a "Mexican Marriage Hammock" in there in stead of a standard bunk. It might be time to expand the man cave?
 
LOL! It's nice to see a sence of humor. Sometimes I think we can take thing's the wrong way. I'm sure she'll never read you description of her other wise you might get hoof stomped. Happy QSO'ing.
Yep, but she is real hard to look at. Can you say who let the moose in the house?

She considers dodging the flying hooves to be foreplay. No guts no fun time. I ask her what is that new perfume she's wearing. She says it is pepper spray. I like my women extra spicy.

Once in a while my crocodile yap will overload my parakeet tail. A quick apology usually fixes things right up.
