    Anytone AT 6666

    I have the same set up here in the PNW and I've worked most of the country on it. I'm a massive fan of Sirio antennas and probably wouldn't buy any different manufacturer at this point due to their reliability and ease of use.

    What electronics have YOU fixed lately?

    It isn't a "fix" but I modified my Icom 7200 for 11m activation.

    Has the world gone crazy

    I just picked up an Icom 7200 with power supply for $600. This is nuts.

    Icom 7200 + Icom SM-30 Mic

    So, I was gifted a pretty cool HF rig (my first one). I want to set up the mic (it is new in box) but the adjuster on the mic seems open ended! I see it bottoms out when you turn all the way to the left but there is no way to tell what the heck one is adjusting when opening up. Can someone...

    Unexpected CB radio movie

    So bad it is good. I'd rate this in the top 10 worst movies I've ever seen but still couldn't turn it off.

    If you were a pirate broadcaster, what's playing right now?

    Dude, I love Donnie Iris. I have his greatest hits CD and just about every song is a gem of a pop rock tune. Ah! Leah! may just be my favorite pop song of all time!

    Mobile High swr !!!. Need a 27mhz ground independent antenna

    I'd like to do this but I've been told the thing that matters is the metal body. I've been trying to find out why the body needs to be metal if you can just use the frame and it works OK.

    Mobile High swr !!!. Need a 27mhz ground independent antenna

    The No Ground Plane antenna kit. Yeah, I keep checking those out. I really wanna put a 102 on there.. and figure out a way to try to RF ground it to the frame of my car but I just can't find anyone who will say that will do it!

    Mobile High swr !!!. Need a 27mhz ground independent antenna

    I've been there! And it is good stuff - I've been wanting to put a mobile rig in my Corvette (10/11m) but the complexity of trying to understand a way to make it work has kept me from doing anything serious.

    Mobile High swr !!!. Need a 27mhz ground independent antenna

    Do you have any links to specifics? I have a "fiberglass body" and trying to distill some things. Primarily, if the frame of my car is aluminum and other metals, does this give me any hope compared to the steel in a vehicle's body? And, as an exercise, how much steel do I need? If I just...
