President Grant 2........?

The ham who kept repeating his call sign? I heard him too and I then changed the frequency. I think the guy did that all day long because I heard him again that evening.
 
I apologize If this has already been asked but I was wondering once you guys start getting your grants in the mail if you can tell us if the screen is made any better than the 980. The 980's screen scratches very easy. Too easy matter of fact. Hope the grant has fixed this issue.
 
That's why I'm waiting.

As for the face. There's a clear film available for plastic headlights to keep them from fogging over eventually. It's like that protective film for smart phones. May be worth a google if one was so inclined.

The film protector by zagg for phones that you squeegee on works great on iPhones. No bubbles and is 100 percent scratch resistant. Looks like a sheet of glass. They make a universal sized one that would fit the 980 but I've been Leary to try. Don't know what hot and cold weather would do to it. or sunlight glare for that matter. They are about 15 bucks. was hoping someone had tried one already. I think it would work though.
 
Find a small sign company and ask them if you can have one of their offcuts of clear vinyl. It'll be far better than any of the screen protectors you can buy and they'll probably give you it for nothing out of the scrap bin.

Just leave the screen/face protector on as long as possible should help keep it mark free.

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned

    Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
