Nice!

Yup, I've bought several. I stick to Amazon Prime 1-day deliveries. No issues.

One of my favorites:

Could be something related to a flare or something from the sun. About a week ago I read an article about one (or 2) that affected South America. There were all kinds of lines of transmission going across the world, with and equal amount into South America. Then the flare hit and there was...

If you meant a "legal" 40ch. am/ssb mobile, I choose the President McKinley II FCC model. You'll get AM-FM-LSB-USB, for about $219 on Amazon. If you don't care about FM, the President McKinley is still available in limited quantities ( currently $139 on Amazon at this time). Too many good things...

Merry Christmas

Yes, this fit very easy under the dash of an old 70's station wagon with fake wood side panels..

A friend of mine had the FT-10, sold it and bought the fT-710. He preferred the 710 over the 10 quite a bit.

Well, the picture may have been the 23ch model, but the 40ch model looks just like it.

I just received my DX-10 and the frequency display is very dim (can see it well in daylight) vs. the very bright channel number. Is there some adjustment to turn the brightness up on the freq. display?

Where can you get the software?

First came the ch.14 walkie-talkies where I heard everyone on every channel talking (if they were close enough), then my Dad helped me build a cheap tube receiver shortwave receiver, which is where I learned how to solder. The guys on the 27mhz band were loud, and being a stupid kid, at times it...

Thanks for posting the manual

When NY is coming into the SE Texas area I'll hear a couple guys on 383... If it's the same guys, I've listened to them for years on 305 (ssb)

Good question! I have an old 23 channel SSB radio on 16lsb (almost 24/7). Usually I get some traffic from across the border (get a lot of that living in the lower end of Texas), but I would love to make some english speaking contacts on 16 one of these days. Many times I fall victim to the "XYL...

Looks nice (and similar to another radio), but I sure wish these "10 meter" radios would have a large frequency display and a small channel display (or at least have it switchable like the 20+ old Midland 79-290

If it's an estate sale that you're driving to, bring along a power supply, coax jumper, meter, and a dummy load if possible. Even w/o everything else, hooking it up to a power supply will let you know if it powers up, are there dots on the display, and do the other controls seem to do what...

As crystals age they can change from the frequency they were cut for, usually not a lot but enough to account for the difference between a digital radio vs. a radio made in the 70's, if that's what you're asking about (if I read it correctly). Also, if I recall correctly, there were even...

Wow! Perhaps the saddest part of his passing is that most people under 35 have never heard of him.
