Not much time for radio-ing because my mom is in the hospital so running there. And when home trying to play catch up, but when I'm home I've been leaving the DX-2547 run so I can hear activity when in ear shot of it. All day long that radio has been busy and sounding superb. Hope this stuff...

It's kind of been like All Hell Broke Loose lately and haven't made any contacts lately, which can be frustrating because makes me question my equipment. But then I have to tell myself that I have too much competition. LOL

Just about every channel had traffic today and my neighbor was off today so I didn't even bother.

Funny you should mention it because I found the New Cobra 19 Ultra with FM almost over-powering me today. I went to Walmart today and always snoop in the electronics. There is where I seen my first Cobra offering of AM-FM compact radio and the urge to buy & try almost got the better of me until...

Looks like I'll have to try the Lincoln II+ to get into that one because my Cobra 2000 with the extra channels doesn't have FM. Thanks for the Tip !

Has anybody fooled around in FM to see how that's working ? I haven't had luck on the base or mobile, but will admit I haven't put much effort into it because of fall project work. If it rains I think I'll sneak into the Extra Channels because I haven't been there in awhile.

Been a train wreck around here most of the time and can't seem to make a contact. But been busy with fall readiness and doctors & visiting relatives in the hospital. By the end of the month I hope to get some radio room time. But at least it's rolling !

I have the same problem in this welfare town. Everybody thinks their super wheeler dealers and they want every thing for a handful of nothing. I just tell them I'm not Santa Clause !

LOL That is the difference right there. In my place the only Old Dog I have to take care of is Me. I tell everyone I have no dog, cat, or fish to feed & no plants to water. So when I want to go somewhere I turn on my Cameras & Alarm and tell my house to kiss my butt goodbye. See Ya when I decide...

Yes they are pricey and been on back order a long time, but I found a vendor that had a couple in stock so I snagged them. 1 for the base station and one for the camper because the noise in radio irritates me but we all put different values on different things. I suppose if a man was patient he...

It takes out a lot of static and back round noise that is in 11 meter radio. Try this link and they give you a sample. https://www.westmountainradio.com/sku_search.php?searchInput=dsp&searchBy=productName

Yes Sir every time I go somewhere I listen and seems like the radio is working overtime, even on the channels that aren't usually busy. This morning as I was getting ready for the day the old Cobra 2000 with the West Mountain Processor was sounding superb.

Yes I can understand your sentiment about PITA! Crawling around and routing wires in these new engine compartments is just that, with Arthritis. That's why it hasn't been done already. Thanks for your Tips and good luck with your Ventures. PS. I'm also thinking about putting a new hard top cab...

Hey Recon didn't you once tell me you had a KL-300 P foot warmer in your truck ! I was wondering how you would compare it to a KL- 203 P for success breaking thru the clutter going on now in the DX World. I was coming back from the VA hospital after getting a Echo today and couldn't really break...

I understand where your coming from because my first mobile antenna was 102" whip with a spring and that's how I tied mine down. How about Silver solder a small SS nut on the end and grind the ears off the nut ?

Already this morning I'm hearing Jamaica & Northern Ireland but can't seem to connect. The day is still Young !

It's rather weird like feast or famine !

I seen some days when it was busy from 33-40 and I usually don't get much on in the lower 30s. But if I remember correct 33 was Mexican.

I don't want to speak too soon or loud but I've been fortunate and haven't heard him as much lately. But watch tomorrow I'll have to eat my words ! LOL

About the opposite around here. Heard some traffic but nothing like the last 2-3 days. But was playing catch up from playing Doctor visits the last 3 days and now back to fall prep work. Keeps me out of mischief and makes Jack a Dull Boy.
