I am trying to raise money for a VHF SSB setup and have this beast of a radio laying around. Right now its 80 channels, req'd special programming module thats rare like a holy relic. Right now I know its not worth much or very useful unless you happen to live in texas or some of your...

I got a microphone and I would like to know what else it will fit. Single audio plug, and it plugs in and will work with the little Motorola FRS/GMRS walkie talkies. Its one of the NTN series of mics, made of metal, great mic and I either want to sell it or make an adapter to use it the...

omg Icom sells pirated Feidaxin too? Somebody needs to call FDC and Baofeng and let them know whats going on, this is not right.

omg.....it just hit me.........ICOM is making a counterfeit BAOFENG UV5R

Somewhere in some 3rd world country somebody is getting a new icom

icom IC UV92AD uhf vhf dual band radio two way portable radio transceiver walkie talkie with free earpiece for baofeng uv 5r-in Walkie Talkie from Phones & Telecommunications on Aliexpress.com

VLC stands for Video Lan Client, I think, but that was the original purpose of it, to stream video over a network. It works as an mp3 and video player out the box, not the best video player but a real workhorse, plays almost any format. As for burning CD's, I doubt a plugin exist...

near a body of water, ducting perhaps? i have seen such on the coastal waters of NC, Cubans, lots of'em. As you get near the bridge the radio goes nuts, then you reach the other side and it goes dead.

yes, you suggested tropospheric scattering, but you did not write me a book on the subject. I am still not convinced its all tropo on upper HF that extends com a moderate range over the horizon, although I am sure it does often play some role. I think it might actually be more ionoscatter...

Echo. It helps me sound like Elvis

Troposcatter inside and out: This article says it all and gives explanation to how I was able to talk well beyond the horizon on sideband under power (although some of it might been ducting). Tropospheric forward scatter, thats how they reliably talk on 10, 11, 2 and .7 meter sideband over...

all the cables have the RIB built in these days

You dont know what the hell your talking about.................... This is for you and all of socialism, because I got better things to do then waste my time arguing with brainwashed fools. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCuaPUVFbzg We have rights, you have privileges. You have...

Personally I woulnt waste my time with any 10 meter monobander. Its too much like CB (propagation wise), only the band is open less. I would go with all mode, all band HF if in budget. If not, an older SSB/CW radio with coverage on all or most bands. The other option I might do, although...

The UV5R is what it is. I would not waste money on any of the frilly variants of it, its all the same thing, different bling. Legend has it the early versions of it would do 220. I actually used my UV5R for work and play. I am surprised how little is has fallen apart. I was expecting...

I think that Maxon is only 25 watts, cables are common on ebay, $20-$40 depending on the season. When you say what bang for the buck, my question is, how much "bang" do you want and how much "buck" are you willing to spend.

Your just hating cause the MUF is still down in 11 meters and not 10

an amplifier is a good thing, especially when trying to talk without propagation. Around here there is a few other high powered stations on SSB I can talk to, typically over 40 miles, and thats when I run mobile. The other, "barefoot" stations wish they could talk to me, but just dont have the...

my Realistic TRC- puts out 280 watts with an amp

I got a couple of non ham projects, 4 channels and 45 watts each, can be had for as little as $20/ea on ebay plus $20 for programming cable, and its made in the free world. Everybody is after battwing radios so the maxons can be had for much less, and they work. I wish it was a UV5-R in...
