I talk to a local group on 11. But I usually use a separate radio on a ground plane for that.

Ok I got it for $200. Did the 11 mod because who dont and why not. Anyway seems to be ok. Rx quality is different from my yaesu I’m used to. Already had the dsp filter installed. Now, how to get away from the electronic mic and back into my cartridge Motorola mic

No no. Flip like damn. Worth a damn/flip. Since my 847 lost some of its front end on the higher bands I was thinking about getting the icom.

I’ve not seen or heard it yet. Other than pics.

I can get one for $250.00. I’ve never had one of these. Are they worth a flip?

So what’s your opinion on it now

I remember coil spreading. Pretty sure cb tricks back in the day had us doing that. Watching a power meter you could eek out a little more movement, but most of us didn’t have scopes where we could see what was going on.

I see. Hmmmm. Gonna need to look into that

That ain’t no lie

If I was a radial, I’d guess at the base of the antenna. Not being a smart ass. My jpole has a flat base. It does not have the typical long downward leg. Think like an arrow antenna where it has the two elements extending off the base upward

Ain’t gonna lie, I became more interested when the price dropped.

Man I’m thinking about using some of this cable trunk line that’s laying around all over our area. 450mhz loss is not bad

These gmrs guys kill me. They were on the linked repeater system and guy 1 told guy 2 that he was coming in loud and clear. Guy 2 said “yeah we must be having real good conditions with the rain that came through”. He sounded serious. Uh it’s a repeater man

The hardest part of online testing for me was setting up the frn# and the things involved with the fcc. Second would be the testing itself. Not the information but locking myself into the bathroom with a computer and a cell phone camera so they could watch me. I was in a bathroom. With...
