    Why does my Bearcat 980s built in SWR meter only work if I have an external meter hooked up?

    That is weird, because my 980's internal SWR reads 1.5 on ch.40, down to 1.06 on ch.1, so I know it's working. That's a head-scratcher... :confused:

    TELL YOU WHAT... maybe NOT the Amish, but I was stopped at a rest stop plaza on the PA Turnpike a decade ago - one of the O-L-D ones, that looks like a stone mansion. There were some MENNONITE girls (elaborate dresses, but with solid colors - pink, blue, & yellow) in there - early 20's I'm...

    Hard to beat an old deuce & a half. Quite a few guys have 'em around here in private hands. Check out your local 4WD club or website - you might be surprised to see how many are running around. BIG Army/Navy store about 40 miles south of here always has three or four for sale in his parking...

    Books for the bug-out bag

    The new thread on "edible weeds" got me to thinking about this, so I thought I'd post it here. Two USEFUL - & nominally compact - books for the BoB that the WHOLE family can use, would be OLDER copies of the Boy Scout Handbook, and Boy Scout Fieldbook. I was a 37 year member of the BSA...

    Meh... our 4WD Club (like a lotta clubs) actually do most of OUR crawling during the summer. Ch.4 is our club channel, and a couple of us can reach out & PUT 'the touch' on someone. :whistle: When we're up IN the Alleghenies, we'll also be heard a little better with the elevation, as I'm sure...

    Uniden Bearcat 980 or GALAXY DX 979

    I have a 980 in my DD, and the SSB is VERY quiet, in regards to background noise. With a KL-203, I talked on it to near El Paso, from Buffalo, NY one sunny fall day. :cool: I run a 949 in my RC, which is primarily an offroad toy. With a steel whip and a small Fatboy, it SWR's @ 1.0, which is...

    USEFUL websites - INCLUDING COMMS!

    Possibly the BEST overall site - and Rawles DOES cover COMMS, including Ham, CB, GMRS, and others - is Jim Rawles Survivalblog.com. Because he also knows his limitations, he solicits subject matter experts to chime in, which allows questionable info to be corrected quickly. His archive of info...
