    What would be the reaction if Hams used 11m legally using their calls.

    When I had interest in being a ham, there was a club in Las Vegas that held a class at the Air Force Base. Nellis Radio Amateur Club (https://nellisrac.org/). It was a several weeks long and went through the Tech handbook one chapter at a time and explained every aspect of the chapter being...

    My old truck

    I had that problem in the past as well, I think I installed a resistor somehow to get it going. Been a long time since I did that, but I eventually just went back to the tried and true incandescent bulbs after having so many LED failures.

    Another new(?) Ranger

    I like the 2950"s as well. I have the old school, and the DX versions, old school 2970 as well. I haven't really had any issues other than the channel knob on the old school models. I did Bobs CB image rejection mod on the DX models I have, I never had a problem with that...I don't think, but...

    Low channel mod for UPD-2816

    I found a few of these SPECTOR SP-41 kits in some of my inherited stuff. I think it's close to the Galaxy kits for 29 etc. Not sure if it's relevant here or not, it does have upper and lower setups, the chips are shaved on them. There's a list of radio applications on the .pdf.

    Box of stuff

    Going through some things and found a box full of parts/things I evidently bought in 2014 as "Miscellaneous CB Radio Parts". I would think that with all the pro's here I can get them identified. They are mostly new, though vintage for sure.

    Midland 79-892 OM

    Would any one happen to have a owners manual for the 79-892? I thought I had one in the box, but I guess it doesn't. A scan would be helpful if possible. I have service manual, but would like to get a copy of the owners manual. Thanks.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Making a few contacts today in OK and some on the Gulf. My old Midland 79-892 can't quite make the trip on the 12W so a little help from my friends was needed.
