I bid and won a $17 dollar radio. After I won I realized they dont ship. It's in siloam springs arkansas. Anyone want to pick it up and ship it to me or maybe your coming to the little rock/hotsprings area or just want one for their own use that's close by? Its 3.5hrs from me. I'm not driving...
It's not that I'm insistent, just currious. I'm aware of the possible gain/lack of gain in a mobile setup and just wondering if it can improve. Using the setup I have works fine and I'm pleased with it. Just always looking and thinking. Even considered one of those 7ft marine antennas to try...
I'm using a mag mount dual band vhf antenna on my car and it's fine. I wonder about adding a ground plane kit. I get the car is the groundplane. But its grounding through capacitance vs a real ground. So I wondered if the groundplane kit would improve the function. Works as it is, just want better.

I've been playing with rattlegram, the beta app for ribbit. Its neato. Weve sent it over 11m ssb and am, 2m fm and just side by side. It's like a poor mans packet I suppose. Works well. Its android only right now.
Anyone else try it?
I've been looking into dmr a little. Then after you start looking at dmr you start to look at the hotspots as well. I've already got a general class and almost full freq privileges as it is. I use all hf and vhf right now. 11 meters is common. I've already set up for all of these bands with...
