I liked the simplicity of the Clarifier on the Ranger/RCI 29 base, as-is, it's rx only. Push Clarifier knob in and then it's a TX/RX clarifier. A lot easier than having to go into some hellish menu system, should you want to change it often.

You're right about those glossy color screens outdoors. I wish the ICOM IC-705 had a toggle to go from color to b&w (grayscale).

Well, that's something I'll keep in my notes. I've owned a few 901's and currently use a 501, so if I run into something similar I'll try it - Tnx!

It still sounds like a funky pwr cord to the meter. What's it connected to (power source)? I use a power pole strip, so every connection is separate, and it's made life much easier when troubleshooting.

I found that out a few years ago myself. I found B&W to be useless as well, so everything gets scanned in color, then perhaps some post-scan cleanup. If you have one of all-in-one printers (inkjet or laser) you can use that scanner. It'll send it directly to your documents folder, creating a...

Yes, superficially at first glance it resembles the 980. The comparison you made between radio types (FCC/non-FCC) is really like comparing apples to oranges. I try to keep reviews balanced because some folks still eat apples. Nonetheless I respect your opinion. Next in the review queue is...

I have a rig on 16 24/7. If I'm in the room and hear anyone I reply, and occasionally throw out some CQ's, but If you do look for a station, don't jump back to 37/38 too fast, because I have to tune my mag loop for 16. Tnx

I love those 757's! Anyone in town that used one on 11m was the big dog of the block. I have a GX monitoring 16 now with a cheap MLA-30 loop antenna on the wall. I just have to leave it "ON" 24/7 due to the internal battery gone dead (if I want to keep my band A and B frequencies alive. It'll...

Not a lot of respect on 36-40 either. People just go where they want to, and I'm not saying the FCC could have avoided it all, but if they had expanded from 23 to 45 channels (1ch below 1 up to 4 ch above 40) and then declare an actual channel/mode layout it could have better. Something like...

Congrats! Where I'm at ( SW of Houston) and since mid-January, I see club members mentioning 6m openings at least once or twice a week.

My dad had one in an Audi he was driving at the time. About all the use it got was from dad listening to 19

Especially when they were one of the two "Big Gun" brands pushing to FM legalized. Ironic...

The manufacturers probably know that there are people out there itching to buy something new. Now when the newly approved FM is thrown into the mix, buyers probably expect new horizons and people they've never heard before - because they only had an AM or SSB radio.

Here are the links, but, (spoiler), I think it's one of best CB radios to come out since the McKinley: https://cbdaze.blogspot.com/2024/01/ay-caramba-part-000001-review-of.html Part Two: https://cbdaze.blogspot.com/2024/01/ As well, on YouTube you'll find some good videos on the George by...

I'll try to make it....already hearing some faints voices, I'd better check the mag loop in case I re-tuned for 38 last night. Regards, Woody WWD2014 American Eagle 2014

It'll be a lot easier just to put the links of PT1&2 in this space: https://cbdaze.blogspot.com/2023/12/last-month-of-2023-review-of-alinco-dx.html https://cbdaze.blogspot.com/2024/01/review-alinco-dx-10-part-two-final.html 73 Woody

Same here Jeff. I just walked into the room to grab my soda and you were kicking butt S-20. BTW, I talked with you on my 12w ssb radio using my indoor mag loop antenna. So that was a double+ for me - 73

Oatmeal

I'm hearing some stations, just not strong enough to catch their attention though
