    AM, SSB handheld radio (Magnum 1012 Clone)

    I have the more common Cherokee AH-27F with every option available & it will cover all the way to 28.305 in the VFO mode.It looks & operates as NEW but it lacks SSB which would be Awesome. The SSB models are Crazy in price so I never purchased one & the AH-27F was given to me by a friend who is...

    HF frequency counter

    Some brands will work with pretty much any radio. The issue with them is that they will read the correct frequency on AM or FM but they go Crazy on SSB. Many of the so called CB models read all of the HF frequencies just fine. I have a PDC 356 & a CPI FC-70 & both of them work just fine across...

    MOSLEY 27 MHz Antenna Designs - GROUND PLANE - DP-275-27 - "Devant Special" 11 Meters

    I have been using my Mosley TA-53M at 50 ft for over 12 years & it works very well on 10,12,15,17,& 20 meters. I had the TA-33Jr before I replaced it with the TA-53M because I love the WARC Bands. They have not stayed in business this long by building Junk. It's the same family & they have not...

    Rarest cb / export you’ve owned

    It was not an Export but pretty hard to find. It was an Original Model President ADAMS & she was a beautiful radio. You don't see many around. I was never into the Export CB's. It's a Big Radio & I used it as a Base not a mobile. It worked very well.

    6 Meters is OPEN

    6 meters is my Favorite Band & it has always been. I Love DX Chasing but I just need Alaska on 6 meters for WAS & I don't collect any awards it's just for my records. I have 49 states confirmed & many countries including many ZL's & Yes a JA all on phone. It's truly a Magic Band when conditions...

    6 Meters is OPEN

    I only do Phone on Any Band & I have less than Zero interest in CW or any digital mode that does not require a microphone. I do chase DX & it's pretty much my Favorite thing. I passed the CW Test with 45 straight characters but it gives me a killer headache as well. I never intended to actually...

    Qrm eliminator mobile use

    I use a ClearSpeech Base DSP Module on every radio I own or use with SSB & AM in my shack. I have for years & I have Zero desire to operate without one on any radio. I use an ICOM 7600 & ICOM 9100 (Both Optional Roofing Filters Installed) & they both have a very good DSP system as does my ICOM...

    Qrm eliminator mobile use

    Man made noises are difficult to eliminate because they vary so much & you can't keep up with all of them & even more so in a mobile even if someone else was driving. Get a good DSP External Speaker or a good DSP Filter & that's about the best that you can do & make the best of what you get...

    6 Meters is OPEN

    Just because a signal can be passed between two computers at 20db below the noise floor has Zero Bearing on if a SSB Signal will do the same. Two different animals entirely so how is it a good propagation tool? That's like comparing watermelons to cherry tomatoes.

    NEW GMRS/MURS Base Antenna Installed

    My wife purchased me a New GMRS/MURS Base antenna at Christmas 2022 & I just got it installed on a 30ft mast pipe last week. I can hit repeaters about 30 miles away It's a HARVEST GP1443L antenna. The only weird part was trying to actually connect the PL-259 Connector to the SO-239 connector on...

    How many radios do you run?

    I currently have (44) D-104 desk microphones & (3) of them are Gold & I never use any of them. They are just Pretty to look at. I use HEIL Studio microphones on most every radio that I own these days. Someone else will get use of them when I'm gone but for now I'll keep them nice & safe & Pretty...
