    Wouxun KG-UVD1P Software Mod

    I've attached an updated version of the 1KG-xxx-unlock.exe file. It does the same thing as the one previously posted by Moleculo but this one has been translated to English: 73, aa9az

    Unlicensed Users taking over GMRS

    154.570 was never allocated for public service, it was knows as one of the "Blue Dot" low-power (< 5w) business frequencies for many years before it's allocation as one of the five MURS frequencies in late 2000.

    Unlicensed Users taking over GMRS

    Our county jail uses 154.5700 (license-free MURS) for daily jail operations. Located less than a mile off a major interstate, they get occasional traffic from travelers and construction companies and they get all pissy when somebody comes across "their" frequency, I've heard them demand other...

    75m tonight

    Thanks 2970, great talking with you and it's good to know my station is putting a good signal into your part of the country. Great talking to you Sonwatcher, and all the others I spoke with but haven't matched their callsign with their forum handle... We certainly need to do it again.

    75m tonight

    Nice chatting with the stations I talked to, it's pretty rough out there with the above-mentioned QRM, but I heard most everybody fairly well. (A CB forum is probably not the best place to arrange a ham radio roundtable... it's probably just asking for QRM issues. :ohmy:)

    Drake L4B

    Here's my Drake L-4B, I love it. I use it primarily on 80, 40 and 20 meter SSB, but it performs well on AM. The power supply was rebuilt (with a heavy dose of Viagra) and does 3300v instead of the stock 2800v, with a 100 watt drive I see 1800 PEP on 80m SSB, 1700 PEP on 40m SSB and 1600 PEP on...

    Post Pics of tube amps here

    Yep, few things are more beautiful than a glowing set of red/white-hot 3-500z's. The Maco is in excellent physical condition... one of the best I've seen. The tubes are in fair/good condition. The six final tubes test above 90% while the two in the driver stage test at 80% and 85%. The...

    Post Pics of tube amps here

    A few from my collection: Here is my Maco 750, runs eight M-2057's (similar to 8950's): This one is a fairly rare Thunderbolt 750, runs three 6LF6's into four 8908's: And here is my favorite boat anchor, the workhorse, a vintage Drake L-4B with two 3-500z's. This unit has a modified...

    RT Systems Software for Yaesu VX-8r Review

    If you buy the ADMS-VX8 software from RT Systems, it will include the programming cable. The cloning cable is for cloning (copying the data) from one radio to another by connecting the two radios together.

    RT Systems Software for Yaesu VX-8r Review

    I've had the ADMS software for a couple months now and it works great. I can't think of a single negative about it.

    drake l4b

    Great to hear you got it working! I recently purchased a Drake L4B and luckily this one worked as new from the get-go. However, I plan on purchasing and installing the Harbach PM-400 replacement power supply module in the near future. Overall it seems to one heck of a work horse and I am very...

    Legal limit amps....

    I just picked up this Drake L4B last week for about $800 with two new 3-500z tubes. I use it primarily on 80/40/20m SSB, wired for 220v it peaks at 1.3kw on 80m SSB with a 100 watt drive and I'm seeing a 1.1kw PEP on 10-15m AM. 80/40m CW is showing over 2kw and 10m CW is at 1.7kw. The unit to...

    My experience of using the Yaesu VX-8r as a mobile

    I'm certainly not complaining... but the credit card transaction probably cost Yaesu/Vertex most of that $0.68! :lol:
