ft-2900
I do. I have a ft-7800 in the car and use prob 800 of 1000 memories.
to guy for comparison--- the banks are nice. you set up any bank with any freq and not lose the total number of channels.

uniden pwr output
I tweak my cb radios for forward modulation on an average watt meter.
usually end up with about 3 watts with a forward swing or i use my light bulb dummy load for increase brightness of bulb.

Radials = 50ohm?
Would some explain to me how adding/subtracting radials = 50 ohms?
I thought they only made a vertical more efficient. Efficient does not mean 50 ohms.
Fuzzy
yep your are correct
the info did come from firestick but that is not the point.
The gentleman is trying to get low swr without a ground plain.
yes you can run ground radial's, or use metal tape.
but in his case of a fiberglass body I would use a cophased antenna system.

co-phase antenna
CHOOSING SINGLE OR CO-PHASE ANTENNA SYSTEM
Truck drivers' made co-phase antenna set-ups popular back in the early 70's. There are several good reasons for their use. First of all, co-phased antennas create a directional pattern that favors communications in front and in back...

reset after mod
Sir
If you did the mod you have read the radio into RTSytems first ,then you can write your freq to the radio.
By doing this tells the program software if the radio is US or export(read modded)
This is like this on all off RTSytems software,

TS-2000/FT-950
KG0MN,
Nice review, but I have some commments/questions.
I have a FT-950, which is the best/nicest radio I have owned(FT-857/FT-897/FT-840/IC-718). I haved found that using the shift,width etc, that I can get away from adjacent signals. The 2 stage noise blanker works well for me...
