    Midland international Model 77-830 VS Uniden PRO 510XL

    I agree. Can't beat the PLL02A chip for easy frequency expansion.........

    Cobra 2000 gtl ssb issue

    I would look at the bias circuits for the driver and final. Bias problems can really mess up SSB transmit. It would also be helpful to know what exactly the transmit does sound like. You say it's garbled, but that's pretty vague. Is it crunchy sounding, or is it more of a bubbling and...

    Cobra 2000 gtl ssb issue

    Are you running it off the internal power supply ? My bet would be on a power supply problem that is not giving sideband transmit enough amperage. Nothing garbles SSB transmit faster than starving a radio for power..... AM draws far less amperage, hence it sounds OK. I'd start with the big...

    FREQUENCY AND TIME FOR CONTACTS

    LSB: 27.355 to 27.445 in 5 KHz steps. 38 is the main calling channel but is also home to hundreds of idiots with noise toys etc. A few folks still use 27.155 (ch.16) LSB as well. Caribbean calling channel is 27.515 LSB USB: International calling channel: 27.555 USB. Folks call on 555 and...

    New President Washington Mobile Radio?

    Ah yes, the President Nixon radio.......it automatically turns everything you say into a lie....... Then we have the President Biden radio that turns everything into mumbling incoherent rambling......... But mostly I'm waiting for them to come out with the MAGA branded President Trump radio...

    So My Radioddity QT40 came with a programing cable.

    Of course you can just do what 99% of people do and download the software for free from any of several websites...

    AT-5555N2 audio boost

    As someone with a background in audio engineering, the whole concept of echo making audio more understandable is completely absurd. There isn't an audio effect out there that can make audio more understandable! Methods that do improve audio include compression and limiting, compandering, and...

    People getting over on techs...

    A tech I did some work for years ago would make secret marks with an engraver in two or three non obvious spots inside gear he worked on in order to avoid getting ripped off in these kinds of scenarios.........

    Anytone At-6666 Pro

    I paid $420 Canadian for my n2 by the time I counted shipping and all that. So a new 6666pro is going to be around $450 Canadian I reckon....... Almost twice what I paid for my 6666, which is a BIG increase for what is essentially just an upgraded radio. Still, it's a lot less than what they...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I suspect he is retired. And yes, he's drunk all day long every day. I've heard him on there plastered at 9am Australia time. Sure wish someone would put a pin in his coax!

    Anytone At-6666 Pro

    But how much is it ? That's what I'm waiting with baited breath to find out ! The original 6666 was very affordable; I'm a bit worried that this one isn't going to be. After seeing how much they want for the new President Washington (ouch) I'm probably right to be worried............ I do...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Skip up here on the west coast of Canada has been unspectacular this last week to say the least. Plenty of short skip from the western states and provinces. Some weak longer skip from Mexico and down into the southern part of South America. And that unbelievably annoying overpowered drunk 333...

    Zero-Five Antennas

    Never heard of it. Can you give us some more info about it ? Is it a ham antenna or for CB ? Single band or multi-band ? Vertical, horizontal, or mixed polarization? How is it working for you compared to what you had before ?

    worldwidedx.com server is being hosted in Russia!?

    It's very commonplace. Much more common than you might think. There are many other countries in addition to Russia that provide cheap internet hosting as well. Music streaming sites are all based in weird places to get around Royalties and such and other website owners often have compelling...

    2 element wire moxon!!!

    Generally speaking, no antenna for 11 meters will work properly unless it is at least 36 feet AGL. They will still work at lower heights, but the directionality tends to be lessened and the angle of radiation gets higher the lower you go (which is not a good thing). I have a horizontal delta...

    New President Washington Mobile Radio?

    Nothing that I can see. That price is $535 Canadian which is just a ridiculous price to pay for a glorified CB radio. ......... I won't be buying any more President radios. Friend bought a Lincoln 2+ recently and has had problems with it. No way will I spend a half grand plus shipping for...

    AT-5555N2 audio boost

    How the heck is adding a bunch of annoying echo an "audio boost" ?!?! In no reality does adding echo boost anything; it just makes the audio hard to understand and makes the user sound like a Mexican AM radio station. Yuck. And putting flannel over the hole? :rolleyes:. Right. I run a 5555N2...

    Hex Beam Antenna

    A beam of at least three elements is the only kind of antenna that is going to help you with this. Other kinds of directional antennas such as hex beams, single delta loops, wire dipoles, skyloops etc. etc. just do not have a good enough F/B ratio or enough side rejection to be serious...
