Cool. I'm in Calhoun County off I20

Where in the Bam you at 144?

Got my 45 foot long 6 element up at the 10 foot (half way point). I had a 1.03 to 1 at knee high height but as soon as I checked it at 4 foot it shot up to 1.53 to 1. At 10 feet it has dropped down some to 1.46 to 1. I think Im just gonna re match it at the 10 foot height while I can reach stuff...

Got them last 2 trees cut down and 5 branches from otherins removed today......meaning that 45 foot boom 6 element will be on its way up the 20 foot tower on the flat side. No rotor....just locked down in magnetic north position Y'all gonna hear the trainman up north now c'mon!

Guess no body has any ideas then.....

Ch 20am Talked with Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska this morning around 8:30 Central. Then it died off. Texas started to roll in around 11 am. At 1 this afternoon until 7 pm it was all FLORIDA. I'm thinking I talked to around 17 guys from the sandbar. I was getting cross channel from both 19 and...

EPT360015C board this was on during a storm and may have been zapped. Here is what's happening. The radio turns on and as soon as it does the signal meter pegs out. It does Transmit full power and the tx/rx LED does toggle. The radio has great modulation as well. But it ONLY transmits on...

Hey Jay. I was using a Shockwave 5/8 groundplane for the first melt and my 5 element beam for the second melt. Poorboy, here in Alabama, has melted his LMR400 as well. We have had many on air discussions locally and only those that had LMR400 from years ago are still happy. The new stuff is not...

I have had to replace my Times Microwave LMR-400 3 times just this year. I will NEVER buy that crap again. It was the real deal not some knockoff but it will not handle any power. I ran an 8 pill thru it (1500 bird watts) and it melted like grilled cheese. Stick with RG-213/U and you will never...

All quiet in the big bam. I'm not hearing any skip from anywhere lol.

We are ok. The hurricane didn't get us. We are just getting very heavy rain from the fallout and now our county is under severe flood watch for the next 24 hours. I did hear some talk on channel 20am this afternoon that a tornado was seen in Winston and Cullman counties, so I think they had some...

You guys crack me up

Talked with #1 in Detroit Michigan and Animal in Michigan, Talked with PaperClip. Talked with 518 Ontario, Canada late this morning on 20 AM.

Thanks, Exit. I did that when I was checking from pin 5 of the mic jack. Thought I had better check all pins, wires and traces.

Hey, Nomad. I checked pin 5 of the PLL with my scope (50mV 500ns) and observed 10 pulses going across my screen (1.85MHz) confirming that its not oscillating between 8v and ground and that the PLL is indeed in locked condition. Pin 8 is at 4.5v Your correct that the voltage at pin 5 is not...

All voltages are correct on TR-35. Thank you both for your input.

Picked up this unit at a garage sale for 7 dollars. It has no tx and would like to get it going because it is in excellent physical condition and has a very low serial number #60. When you key the mic, nothing happens. The green rx light stays illuminated and does not toggle to red or go out. I...

In the morning time, I talk to a buddy that has a Maco 7 element beam 55' in the air on the vertical. He lives in Columbus, Mississippi (just over the state line). I use a IMAX 2000 that sits on a 3 foot tripod just outside my shop door. We talk at 6am pretty much every morning when the noise...

I purchased mine on eBay. It was a used one from the US. Couldn't wait for the slow boat from China lol. I think I gave around 30 dollars for it.
