    I hope it sounds good like you say, but then again, I never heard a Kenwood that didn't sound good!(y)

    Let's Talk!

    For those here who shoot skip, I am usually hanging around 38 lower on the weekends from about 10:00 hours to around 1600 hours. My call numbers are Whiskey - Alpha 373. It would be great if we could hook-up! (y)

    anyone seen this new microphone

    I'm on social security so I have to watch my budget but I do plan on buying one when my March check is deposited. I'll let every one know my findings. If it's no good I'll just sell it on the bay. :D

    By the way, if you check out their website, you will find out that this body is made from cast METAL, not plastic. :eek:

    Do you own one of these mics? If you do, you are qualified to judge them. If you don't, you are not qualified to judge them. Yes, but how do you really feel about this mic? :ROFLMAO:

    Base Longest Coax Length Possible?

    I would move the antenna closer to your shack as a first choice. The other choice, if you can afford it, is to run hardline, but it is pretty expensive.

    Two Antenna Questions

    Yes, I agree. I do have a102" stainless whip if the fiberglass one doesn't work out for me.

    Two Antenna Questions

    I intend to use grounding straps to ground the tool box to the truck bed and ground the truck bed to the frame. I will probably ground the hood and cab to the frame also. I am going to be using a 5' Firestick fiberglass antenna

    Two Antenna Questions

    1. I'm about to install a CB in my 2009 F-150 Super Cab and would like some feedback on my antenna location choice. I have an aluminum toolbox at the forward end of the truck bed that is bolted to the bed. I'm thinking that I will get the best signal pattern to the sides and rear of the truck if...

    Sirio M400?

    Are the Sirio M400 and the Workman M400 both made by Sirio? Back in the day I had the original Starduster and really liked it. Any comment on these two copies of the Starduster?

    Radio Frequency Interference to Amateur Radio Bands

    I had a RFI problem about 30 years ago and was pretty sure it was a utility problem. I called our public utility district who supplied our power and they sent out a supervisor the next day to listen to my shortwave radios. After listening and agreeing with me that it was their system that was...

    Hamfest Depression

    Prices on Ebay are totally out of reason! It used to be that years ago you could find real bargains there but now people are bidding stuff way beyond what it's worth. I actually sold a 2 meter radio that I had for almost a year and it sold for more than I paid for it new from HRO! I have...

    Uniden 980 SSB Back light Colors

    I contacted Uniden and they told me that the 980 has one green and a yellow, not two greens. Looks like two greens to me!

    Realistic ssb radio what is the best one made?

    If you are looking for a base station the TRC-457, TRC-458 and TRC 490 I believe were all made by Uniden. I owned a TRC-490 for years and it was a great radio! I wish that I had never sold it! :D

    Uniden 980 SSB Back light Colors

    I guess they must have dropped the amber color! I bought the radio because all my scanners and shortwave receivers have amber back light! :sad:
