I've got a 811h I use with my very rare icom 7300 . I've been told by my old buddy not use the ALC cord. . I'm just wondering if this is sound advise. So far everything is working fine, and I keep the power under 600 watts usually. Not knowing anybody else to ask near me, hear I am. What's...

Ameritron AL-811H. Yes or no? I've been considering this thing.

Looks like a good day to Radio.

Happy Veterans Day to all that have served past & present. Thank you! USCG 1976-1997

I've been thinking about this, and never asked before. I'm in and out of my garage / shack probably 6 times a day. I'll come down here and Radio for a couple of hours, and then go do something else. Every time I leave I turn all my equipment off. I'm just wondering if that's hard on a radio ...

Check out my new to me Midland 70-050c 6 meter mobile. My Elmer has 3 of these. 2 are used on his 6 meter repeater. This one has 40 watts. I'm using it on FM for local rag chew. Simple, but it works and sounds great.

I ordered this radio instead of the 880. Why, well it's the survivalist in me I guess. I've got a bunch of AA Batteries. Looks like a fine radio. I think I read all of the comparisons, and the 660 won over. Ok, now you can best me down, and tell me what a big mistake I made. I've never had a...

I passed my Extra Class Operator Exam this morning. YeeeeHaww!

I'm putting up a 6m jpole for local rag chew soon, and I need some good coax. I'm ready to get a 50' section of Lmr-400. I know it works good on vhf/uhf, but is it overkill? What do you 6m Guru's use? I'm listening

Happy birthday USCG. 229 Years old Hoo ra!

Don't mess with the Ham Radio Operator.

Thinking about one of these, for my ic 7300. I've read reviews, and there mostly about the important stuff like audio, receive, fit, construction etc. I've never used a headset for comms. If you use a headset, do you use the supplied PTT button, or do you like a foot switch, or hand trigger...

Here's my latest DIY antenna build. It's a 6m horizontal Dipole. I got the plans out of the ARRL small antenna book. 56" of wire on each side. The wire is supported by the PVC Pipe (instead of insulators and guy rope. Then I attempted to camouflage it. We have a 6 meter repeater in the area...

At 1800 UTC on New Year's Day a friend of mine for over 50 years made a QSO from East TN to coastal northern ca. We played with radios back in the 60's and 7o's. When we got older he continued in radio, and became a Ham operator, and I went into the service for the next 20 year's. When I would...

I haven't been able to log QSO'S in Lotw. I received the certificate, but when I input the information in the QSO box it doesn't log it. I'm logged in correctly, and password is good. I have no idea how to get this to work. I've read all I can about this, but still unable to make it work. I was...

I've got a new icom 7300 coming now I need an antenna. I've got 100 ft trees all around my place. Im thinking a My Antenna EFHW-8010. End fed Might work good. What do ya think?

I'm in the market for a new HF Rig. I'm not a contester, and never will be. I don't have any immediate plans to go digital, and I don't do CW. I also rarely spend more than 2 hours in the shack, particularly in the warmer months. I also don't want to buy a radio that is going to be obsolete, so...

I have a repeater programmed into my UV5R+ that has Fusion and analog. When someone is using the Fusion side, all I hear is digital noise. Is there a way to eliminate this ? On my 2900r I use tone squelch and this works , but I don't see that in the UV5R's menu. 73

I just got this buckle, that was my Dads. He liked his 29's. He passed in 2013 and he had a box of buckles that my Mom gave my son. Last night my son gave me this buckle. I think its Retro Cool, in a redneck Trucker kind of way. Its going on my belt today.

I'm looking at this Centerfire deluxe Discone antenna for my scanner. Does anybody have one, or know if there a decent antenna. $ 39.00 doesn't seem to bad. American made.
