I live in a rural area. ("Live" meaning that I own a house, keep personal belongings in it, and occasionally visit the property, lol) I have one phone that utilizes Sprint towers, and another that utilizes Verizon towers. My house is too far from the nearest Sprint tower for the Sprint phone...

The other day, I was in Iowa, so I stopped at Walcott Radio (not my favorite place), and picked up a new meter to replace my Astatic PDC-2. I like it ok, though it seems to register a higher SWR than the old Astatic. I'm curious, though; does the power on that meter do anything more than...

A buddy of mine offered to sell me a Galaxy 225 for $125. The internet doesn't seem to have much to say about these things, though. I get the impression that this is an older amp. What I have gathered (but can't verify the accuracy) is that, even though the logo on its blue face LOOKS like...

I have an old Realistic radio, sitting at home, that I don't particularly care about. It's not worth the effort of attempting to sell (or give away, even). However, it is a functional device, so I can't just pitch it, either. So, I thought that it might be fun to take that radio, a cheap...

Hello Gentlemen (and Ladies?), I've got, as the title suggests, a radio that's been tinkered with. I bought it off a guy at a truck stop, who only had it for a short period of time, but whoever he got it from, got inside it and did strange things. As I'm new here, let me fill you in on my...
