    2950/2950dx

    You might ask in the Export radio section since thats what it is. The origional 2950 has an orange display. The DX model is the newer version with a surface mount board and green display.

    Memory Lane....

    See, he can hold the radio in that hand and have a piece of solder stuck in that hole, and then the iron is in the other hand. lol

    My first Cobra 200GTL an absolute nightmare

    Just do a search on the forum here, you will find numerous threads on this radio.......not many are good either. Not sure where you heard all these great things about the Cobra 200. I would dump it as fast as you can.

    RCI2950 advise

    Two good options. You could also check with Richard at 8541 electronics, he could probably either do it all, or you could find a radio and send it to him for a tune. I would also talk to Freecell on the forum here.

    do export radios have class ratings for the tx part ?

    The only thing that makes a radio a "splash Box" is the tune that is done to it. With a correct alignment and conservative tune you will have a nice clean sounding radio that DOES NOT bleed 10 channels in every direction. When you listen to the wild wattage claims people make of their radio's...

    DX contact with USXDriver

    Very cool Tony, it was alot easier 6-8 years ago for sure when we were into the skip cycle. When it does happen now though it's better conversation because you don't have 40 other talkers trying to get in as well.

    New Windows Vista

    What has anyone heard of this new operating system? A local computer person claims it has some built in ways for you to be monitored well beyond what is being done now with cookies and such. Any one know the scoop?

    Why is

    Stirring the pot? Maybe sometimes, other times he is just saying it like it is. I am concerned as well about the number of posts and threads that get deleted or modified. Still a great forum though.

    Magnum S9 W.T.F?

    The new Magnum radio's seem to be selling great and sounding great. It all depends on who you talk to, and if it's a techs opinion it all depends on what they like working on. For every person who slams the Top Gun it seems there are 10 who love it. A properly tuned Magnum is hard to beat.

    Since nobody believes a 148/grant will do 25+ watts...

    Thats right, screw the scope.....grab those plyers and yank that R131 right outta that Grant xl.

    Since nobody believes a 148/grant will do 25+ watts...

    I agree, this is nothing but nonesense now. Bottom line is this, can someone probably get 25 watts er so.....I suppose. From a basic peak, tune, and alignment with nothing fancy and no clip 75% of ALL GRANT XL'S will do 14-16 watts AM, and alittle more on SSB. The Grant xl was never intended to...
