Since you can't buy the ChannelGuard anymore, I think it is OK to add this info to the post so anyone that wants to try this can make their own. To re-iterate: This turns your radio's "RF Gain" control into a variable preamp/attenuator that is super clean and has great S/N Ratio. It also gives...

Man, everyone is calling for 828 on LSB 375 right now.

Also noticed that TXNR in the software has Off and level 1~5. But after writing back to the radio, the TXNR on the radio only shows level 1~5 (no off option).

Small typo. "8" should be "9":

Got to put some fans on it.

Lol you didn't miss out the other day. I listened to 100's of stations trying for well over an hour to get back to 226 Texas...

Just had a 30 minute QSO with World Radio 108 Scottie and World Radio 349 Gary in western Australia on LSB 27.430; GP to GP. 9pm my time and noon (tomorrow) their time. Conditions were rolling a bit but stayed in solid the whole time. Hardline FTW and Texas is a great place for DX...

I can't speak for Rick, but I know that he and I think alike when it comes to shipping and risking damage to the radio. He knows it is a great price, but he really doesn't want to have to ship it, and he hopes someone local will get it. If you are seriously considering it, contact him and ask...

LOL like I said, he is my friend and I have never known him to be anything other than straight up. If I thought there was a chance that he would misrepresent the radio or the situation, I wouldn't risk my reputation on the forum by posting this. My friend is an audiophile and retired Radio...

Posting for a friend who went SDR and is selling off some of his ham gear. He prefers local pickup. https://sanantonio.craigslist.org/ele/d/san-antonio-ham-radio-equipment/7784111785.html

@Klondike Mike - Do you remember what freq. you heard the Japanese DX coming in on? I get Australia and Hawaii every day/night but haven't talked to Japan in a couple of decades on 11 meters. Maybe S. Texas is too far south. I need to dust of my Japanese with some QSO's (lived there 40+ years...

Posting this for a friend in San Antonio who is looking to unload his 2 year old original owner 2547. Everything works as designed. He just doesn't like it, but you may. https://sanantonio.craigslist.org/ele/d/san-antonio-galaxy-channel-ssb-am/7786007194.html If this violates forum policy, let...

Just talked to NeedleBender 397 Australia on LSB 395.

@AK321 - if you can leave your amp on high and turn down your radio, that would be better than running your amp on low side, if that is an option.

LOL when I made the original post, the economy shipping was $8.02... Obviously, it changes. Why bother? I talked to a person in DX land that was buying 2 CB bases, one for his grandson and one for the grandson's friend so they could talk to each other a mile apart and not have try to use walkie...

Aluminum 1/2 wave for $32.08 with economy shipping. Should be fine for a barefoot radio. Same model as the Amazon links above. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/6-2m-high-gain-27mhz-omni_60788934975.html

OCF works but Fan FTW in my experience.

Ditto - Good to talk to Shadetree Mechanic on 375 I heard him talking to 226 and mention that he hadn't talked to any other forum members. So I figured I would give him a shot to see if he could hear me and he did. Nice sounding 2547 in the garage.
