I will try to make a recording of the RFI that I hear when I brake or decelerate in the Camry. It really makes some strange noises, and usually at about 5-9 S units on the meter. Sometimes does it on hard acceleration, too... I think because it uses the electric motor from a stop. Had a...

Oy, after reading all this, my head has started to hurt. :ROFLMAO: Captain K, I'd like to suggest that after all the work you put into putting up your vertical that you keep it permanently. Seems to me, the more antennas the better. I have 3 at my QTH, a 40 meter loop, an end fed random...

Yes, I believe that is what it's called. It charges the system when you are slowing down, I think. This is my company car. A hybrid is not something I would personally choose, but they pay for the gas, and they provide the car, so there ya go! Trying to make the best of my situation, and...

I keep the VFO fairly tight, but yes, it's pretty easy to move. Keeping it locked helps a lot. Most importantly, the RFI isn't so bad that you can't hear signals. At highway speeds, there isn't any major noise generated. If you slow down, say by turning off the cruise control, or hitting the...

Yeah, I had my arm resting on the console, and can turn the camera on with a button on the side, so I just aimed it in the general direction and shot. Definitely had my eyes on the road! Pretty bad undulating road on the 7.218 vid, but if I made it smooth via the YouTube app, it made it look...

Made a couple of new videos today while traveling in Louisiana. I was just east of Shreveport when I recorded these. The guys on 7.235 are in Texas. Ron is in Lufkin, and Jack is in Allen. Not sure where the guys were at on 7.218. Not very good videos, but I was hoping to show that the...

Plus 3 has a compressor built in. A bit punchier than the SSK. SSK has a more mellow sound. The CS-1 has the compressor, but is 5 or 6 wire, iirc. 73, Brett

I ran a D-104 for years. Tried a little rough Plus 3 and fell in love. Then bought a SSK, and a CS-1. GREAT mics, that's for sure. Still have all of them. 73, Brett

Man, you scored a real nice one! Congratulations! 73, Brett

That's pretty darned cool. Now you need to make a PDL II for 70cm, too. :) 73, Brett

Something cool to hang on your shack wall. ;) Most importantly, you're on the air having fun. 73, Brett

Yeah, for sure your winters are pretty brutal compared to what we get here in Texas. We usually only get freezing rain once or twice a winter, and rarely get snow here. Sounds like you have plenty of property to spread out. I am on a pretty small lot, and have a 40 meter delta loop and an end...

This one looks pretty interesting... http://www.mfjenterprises.com/Product.php?productid=MFJ-1835 A couple of my local club's members were talking about it recently. 73, Brett

It is usually someone new that is scouring the forum for interesting stuff, although I have done it myself when I found it relevant to something I needed to know... just as the latest poster did here. But when I saw the date, wow! Lol 73, Brett

I have a TYT TH-7800 mobile that I got at a discount at MTC for 159.00. It's a Yaesu clone, and works fantastic. Some features are actually nicer than the Yaesu! 73 Brett

What I meant was, sometimes the prices on Chinese products really is super cheap. I bought a Baofeng UV-82 for 28 bucks (shipped) one time, and it was legitimate. Still one of my favorite HT's! 73, Brett
