    Once you check all the things the guys mentioned above make sure the mic is wired correctly for your radio.

    How do they do it?

    Amateurs. Apparently you missed the eBay auction for the Flamin' Hot Cheeto that was in a shape that resembled that Gorilla Harambe - That one little Cheeto sold for over $99,000. We are a nation of scammers and imbeciles. Welcome to the future.

    uniden 980 discontinued

    Lescomm is probably going to discontinue selling them since he can't hack them up and install his expander kits in them like he does the old platform Galaxy CB's he sells. I see nothing on the Uniden site about discontinuing the 980.

    Congratulations! Paperworks in the mail with instructions for the secret handshake :whistle:

    Export/10 meter radio with good receive and static rejection?

    The front end on the HR2510 is as wide as my ex's hiney! It has a 5 kHz wide IF filter. Talk about noisy. I always wondered why the receiver on my HTX-100 (3 kHz wide) was noticeably better. They did that for AM mode in the 2500 knowing the radio would be modded for CB. The HTX-100 was...

    What does an MRI cost?

    That's because not all MRI's are the same. Different parts of the body and different procedures drive the cost. MRI's can run from $300 - to over $5000.

    Antenna help please!

    A female PL-259 is called an SO-239. Diploes for vhf/uhf frequencies would be very small and wouldn't work very well mounted horizontally. Follow w9cll's advise and pick up a discone or other outdoor scanner antenna. I think Radio Shack still sells one.

    Heil GoldLine GM-4 Desk Microphone in the packet,

    Someone should snatch this up. The GM4 has been the mic I've used on my main operating position(many different hf radios) for the last 15 years. I think it's one the best mics Bob Heil ever produced.

    Reading reflect watts help

    I just like to see a post with "reflect watts" in it every now and then :)

    I think I am doing something wrong.

    I have to remember this logic if I ever get pulled over again. No officer I didn't really run the red light, I merely transported myself and my vehicle to the other side of the intersection by manipulating the surrounding space-time continuum.

    Infinite bandwidth, FM & the human voice?

    Someone has waaaay too much time on their hands.

    Silly question for the seriously minded genius types

    Those six sets of dual trucker antennae are now vintage and rare- plus having been made in the 70's will talk farther that any similar antenna made today. They may even increase one's "loudness" if you get my drift. Sell those puppies on eBay and use the proceeds to buy yourself a good...

    I think I am doing something wrong.

    I can mail one to you. $39.95 but you have to figure out where to solder the resistor :)

    I think I am doing something wrong.

    You're doing everything right but I think you're comparing apples to oranges. My adding an IF tap kit to my FTDX- 1200 is slightly different than installing a super whack thunder blaster atomic swing kit (resistor and electrolytic cap) to a Cobra 29. Just sayin.

    Makes me wonder what the heck they are broadcasting that makes them keep doing it even after being warned.

    How do you PING yourself?

    I know what your talking about and there was a post on the Zed about how it worked. I've listened to myself on 40 meters using a web sdr somewhere in MD. Just playing with the eq on my rig and comparing amp on, amp off signal strength. It was interesting but I felt a little odd doing it...
