    Elecraft K3 ?????? Fact or Myth???????

    How does the Elecraft K3 radio compare to the "Top of the line" big three imports ( Icom, Yaesu and Kenwood ) in performance, reliability and price? Even though $2K - $4K isn't cheap optioned out, my understanding is that the performance of the K3 is comparable to some $6K -$10K rigs out there...

    Yaesu FT-857D, Icom-7000, Kenwood TS-480SAT

    I'm new to HAM and currently studying for my Tech online. I've been pondering what would be my starter radio. From what I've been reading the 3 rigs listed above seem to be the people's choice. Those of you that have owned or use these radios, which do you favor and why?

    Cobra 75 WX ST Remote Radio

    Has anyone used the Cobra 75WXST radio? I have a car that's a classic and I really don't want to see a cb radio hanging around. The Cobra 75 WX ST seems like a cute little radio if it works well. I can even see hiding a small 150W linear in the trunk. The only cb radio I have now is mounted on...

    Ultimate Ranger base/mobile setup

    I've been away from CB for over 30 years. If I were to choose an ultimate base station around the Ranger products which radio and equipment would you use if you were going to run about 1500 to 2000 watts with a Jogunn 6 beam? Would you start with a DX 2980 or a DX 2995 and why? Which amps would...

    Armor Flex coax?

    I'm running 9' of Armor Flex for my motorcycle install. I'm also going to run a 2-pill 250 watt linear with a Predator 10K. Where does the Armor Flex fall in the hierarchy of cables? I've read that the better the cable the better off you are. I'm going to be running a GPS, radar detector...
