not my auction. if it was $50 cheaper I would buy it but still not a bad deal.

I heard somewhere they were going to allow FM in addition to AM and SSB. This true? Anybody coming out with an FCC radio to do FM? AM audio when done right to me sounds better than AM but I dont hear it done right often and AM/SSB are king for DX. But with FM you can have toned squelch...

I would like to swap out my truck's FM radio antenna for an NMO mount and some coax. What would I need to split the FM broadcast band to go to my in dash radio? I know such exist, I have seen it on a boat for the VHF marine band, but I want UHF, or both VHF and UHF. Any ideas?

So I got this old TRC-465 out of storage and feel the need to mess up something. I know they made channel kits for these, like exp back in the day, and I am thinking these just switch the 10.240 crystal with something else for upper and lower channels. Is that it or were these kits like an...

I been off the radio and internet for awhile. My fat, lazy pig of a wife finally left me for not being able to afford enough ho-hos so what does that mean. It means the radios are going in my living room, cause my girlfriend thinks my ham is sexy.

I am trying to raise money for a VHF SSB setup and have this beast of a radio laying around. Right now its 80 channels, req'd special programming module thats rare like a holy relic. Right now I know its not worth much or very useful unless you happen to live in texas or some of your...

I got a microphone and I would like to know what else it will fit. Single audio plug, and it plugs in and will work with the little Motorola FRS/GMRS walkie talkies. Its one of the NTN series of mics, made of metal, great mic and I either want to sell it or make an adapter to use it the...

Troposcatter inside and out: This article says it all and gives explanation to how I was able to talk well beyond the horizon on sideband under power (although some of it might been ducting). Tropospheric forward scatter, thats how they reliably talk on 10, 11, 2 and .7 meter sideband over...

Will the NMO connector hold up. I have an NMO mount drilled through the roof of my car, and I am looking for a 3/8 to NMO adapter to mount a 108" whip. The wider the adapter, or more surface area it takes up, the better.

I need a antenna base that screws into an NMO mount that a small diameter whip or rod could go into with a setscrew for adjustment. Basically a simple, tunable antenna without the whip that can be made into anything for me to try out a couple of homebrew projects. Only thing is, it has to be...

I am looking for a kit to put uppers in my 465. Could care less for lower channels, although having 10khz would be nice but not absolutely necessary. I found lescom makes a kit Lester's Custom Truck Shop - LesComm Products but its kind of expensive and more than I would need, and I like to...

There has got to be more to the "up to 20db of loss" rule for 90 degrees difference in polarization. I think they meant, up to 20db or else I dont think I would hear anything with my HT turned sideways, yet, I can still copy the signal, often with little difference, even on weak signals. I...

I talked 45 miles today on SSB with strong signals in both directions, and then 30 miles the other direction but could barely copy. That was running mobile with a 200 watts, and a 3' base loaded antenna. Atmospheric conditions were near dead, made contact with a station in Cali but he wasnt...

I am sick of turning screws in tight spaces, so I am going to try to find some cheap airsoft grade M1913 rails to attach radios in my vehicles. Cool idea?

Why do I always hear the black gentlemen on channel 6 when conditions seem dead on every other channel. For 4 years I have been running CB radios and hardly a day goes by that he aint there, talking to himself in mostly gibberish or bragging bout his amplifier. How come 10 meters is dead...

I just finished my mobile installation, TRC-465, Midland 500w NMO mount ant, and a Gray 300 bi-linear. I had used the amp before with my base setup, no issues other than I never really checked it other than the built in SWR function on my kenwood. Tested jumper from amp to radio with a...

I would take a CB with channel kit and a small amp any day over any "10 meter" radio that looks like a Cobra 29 on crack. I saw what would have been a great deal on craigslist today for a Superstar with SSB (great deal as in I could turn around and sell it on ebay tomorrow and double my...
