    President George FCC

    Been testing for a couple of weeks to get a feel for the radio before I post a video. Some notes so far. - Power is about what you’d expect, no surprises. Same as other newer FCC radios doesn’t swing much from a low carrier. - Modulation was set pretty tame out of the box. Can be adjusted by...

Looking for something that isn’t crazy big and each can be wired individually. Seems like everything is 30a or below. Might have to custom...

    Troys DDS VFO in Uniden 980

    He replaced the display so you’ll lose some display functions from the stock display like NB, mic gain, RF gain etc which would be the downside but you’ll gain freeband and could use it for 10 meters etc. It will display mode on the new display. Not sure if I’d do it on a 980 but pretty cool...

    Was doing an alignment and had a weird thing happen. First time I’ve ever experienced this.

    Remote control amp on/off

    I'm getting a new vehicle in a couple of months and it has a very cool hidden spot where I could install an amp for a very clean install (hidden) however it would be inaccessable to turn the amp on or off and I don't want to hardwire a remote power switch. Has anyone tried using a remote...

    You know you have too many radios...

    ...when you're pulling out plastic bins looking for a dummy load and you find a radio you forgot you owned. How to really know you have too much stuff....it's not the first time this has happened. I had done a big clean out last year but apparently I didn't do a good enough job. It's like my...
