    Ever see on of these Mic's?

    Looks like form over function bait. I agree with Brett - I bet the chrome finished plastic head is half size compared to the Shure they are copying. Replace the head with a gooseneck and you have a pretty common CB desk mic design. "The ON/OFF switch on the neck of the mic is also perfect...

    Has any one gotten one of these? "2000+ watt 13.8 v 150 amp PS 9-14v variable"

    He sold 45 of them and look at the feedback. I don't see any negatives.

    foot switch on desk mike

    Don't use the "exciter jack" to key the amp and you'll be fine. Use the relay jack to key the amp. The Heil FS2 is fine for this. There is a delay between the amp and exciter being keyed what you depress the switch that prevents hot keying the amp (red cable with the rca male end to amp)...

    Poor Radio Shack.....

    But they did that to survive. RS was never going to make bank catering to us radio enthusiasts. It's a business that has run it's course and they did what they had to until the end. Like the saying goes - Nothing lasts forever, except Betty White :)

    Anan 200D and Yaesu FTDX 5000

    A couple of months ago there was a forum member with over 40 posts who tried to scam here. Once we confronted him with the fact that the picture of the CB he posted and claimed to be the actual radio, was actually a screen shot from a EU ham's Youtube video, he dissapeared. It was reported...

    Pickup trucks for Yuppie grocery getters.....

    What are these two items "realistic value"?

    Just don't let the buyer talk you into meeting them behind the Chick-fil- A at 3am to do the deal and you'll be ok. (y)

    Heil goldline gm-4 MICROPHONE,

    Good post. On the old site there was no feedback forum per se but you could leave feedback in someone's profile after a sale or purchase. It does help. Overall I think the regulars here aren't going to hose anyone and some of us do a good job of sniffing out the scammers that register and...

    Kenwood ts 130

    Huge difference in price and technology between those two. If you have the $$ buy the 7300. If your budget is geared towards the 718 then I would buy the Yaesu FT-450D. It has the features missing from the 718 and it's at the same price point.

    Sunspot Cycle

    Sadly for anyone just getting interested in radio we may be headed into whats called a "Maunder Minimum". Kind of a dormant period for the sun that could last a long time. Google it. I have my reloading bench set up now so I have another expensive hobby to empty my bank account into while Mr...
