In the event you weren't watching pricing, the AT-6666PRO is $30 OFF ($269.99) for "AMAZON DAY", which is a decent price for that radio, and on Radioddity's website, the QT40 10 Meter Radio is $30 off ($169.99) - Great price, and the QT-60 is $52 off ($207.99), which is pretty good as well.

I would agree. It was somewhere in the '83 - '84 range. I think President was still advertising their lineup here in the states in late 1981. In 1984 I decided to update my station (I was using a Hy-Gain V + Hy-Gain v.f.o at the time). A co-worker thought the tax exempt number he had from a...

The 710 requires adding something (solder bridge), while the 7300 requires removing 2 diodes/resistors (can't remember what they were). The 7300 has pretty decent AM, if you use AM a lot. The 710 is close, but not quite as good in AM (IMO). The 710's receiver is rated well above the one in...

In the Fall of '88 there was already early reviews and mention of Radio Shack coming out with their version (HTX-100). By mid 1989 '73 Magazine' was publishing a series of articles about modifying some features or circuits of the 2510. So I'd say 1988, in support of 999's comment.

Rat Shack service manuals were pretty decent. Trying to get one of those these days isn't easy.

What is the discount? 5%? or is it more?

I would be surprised if he didn't have (at least one) different account for buying. There's another fella to look out for in Connecticut (can't remember his eBay account name). He also has a different account for purchases.

I usually run mobile, so I either use some varieties of the Sirio mobile antennas, or the President Texas (depending on where I'm going I have to switch antennas) if there are some heavy, low hanging tree limbs, I'll pick the shortest whip.

I guess my hurricane damage wasn't that bad in comparison to your damage.

I guess I finally have to 'fess up. I've been wearing the same pair of socks for a month now. 2 weeks ago I noticed a mist rising out from the sock tops, and then out and up into the atmosphere, well..right after that, Skip stopped coming to my area...."sorry" :sneaky:

I haven't tried much, except the stock mic, and a Turner RK70, but the Digi-Mike has been great on President radios. I'm using 4 right now, all on Presidents (McKinley EU, George FCC, George II, and the Washington. The stock mic that comes with the Washington has a little extra weight to it, so...

I know there's a fella that sells equipment from time-to-time, from San Antonio. The panhandle is a real long distance drive :cool:

I hope you have a minor version of Bells Palsy vs. the long term /rest of your life version, which comes and goes, and can be very painful at times. Hoping for the best!

You're in the S.A. area, correct?

For now - Just radio gear. IC-705, Bionno 20AH battery, 5v adapter to charger phones of other 5v stuff. Several wire antennas, jumpers, misc parts, etc. stored in a Photo back pack.

You can p/u a decent Daiwa, or Diamond meter in the forsale forum on QRZ, or on QRT. Save $$$. Generally it's pretty safe, I've only bought used meters off their forums for a couple decades - no issues.

If it's like the old one I still use, when you pull up on the antenna, it folds over. I thought I broke mine as well.:cool:

I've never had an issue with Comet or Diamond. You might consider something in their line of antennas.

If you decide to buy something different, I'll suggest the Washington. Nice specs, and it looks impressive with the brushed dark gray face plate vs. Chrome
