I am a Chef, and I love my job. My favorite aspect of it is that I work an academic schedule, so I get summers off, 4 weeks at Christmas, 1 week for Thanksgiving Break, and 1 week for Spring Break. And I eat at work for breakfast and lunch, and often take something home for dinner, so I...

Aldo's Turkeys? No thanks.

Ah, another MFJ product that arrived in "kit form", lol. :laugh:

I had a 550 for a few years. It worked great on AM with VERY low drive--1.5 watt deadkey with 7-8 watts modulation was plenty to drive it. I'd get an 80-90 watt carrier and it would swing past 300 and sounded good. SSB was pretty raspy. I think Bob85 on this forum knows a fix for that.

Very nice. :thumbup1:

I'll put in a plus 1 for the Magnum 257. Good little radio to get your feet wet. Will do everything the AM/SSB CBs with type-acceptance will do, with maybe not the greatest receiver, but not too bad. (They are plenty sensitive, no problem there, but the front end is a little wide and lets in...

I have no idea what you are actually talking about, but congratulations!:thumbup:

Yeah, right! Just ask Randy Weaver how telling the government to get screwed worked out for him? Or the Branch Davidians? Get real. The Feds would squash you like a fucking bug if you ever tried to stand up to them. :headbang

Wrong. Other direction.

In this country, you are FAR more likely to be injured or killed by the police than you ever would be by terrorists. Sad.

That is one FUGLY radio.:cursing:

Thanks so much for posting this. Great work!:thumbup1:

Great radios. I have the Inrad 2.1 khz SSB filter in mine. HF performance is pretty much on par or better than the typical entry level rig. I doubt the 857/897 is much of a step up on HF. Pretty remarkable how these have been discontinued for a number of years but are still selling used...

I'll stop using the fed's unused frequencies when they give me back the 1/2 of my 401K they stole to give to Bank of America, AIG, Goldman Sachs, and the other criminals. :tt2:

LOL, I wasn't even going to look at this thread. That is, until I saw that Jazzsinger had put in his tuppence.....:D I think that if Kate really loved Will, she'd get him the fuck out of there as fast as possible and never look back.

I think it should not be surprising for a signal that is 3DB higher than another to be louder and clearer. That's how it is supposed to work.

He was the best. We'll never see his like again. And EVERYONE knows what he is saying is true. Oh well, time for American Idol. ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzz........:bored:

What I meant when I said groundwave was non-skywave. Doesn't change the greater point that I was trying to make--local propagation on 10/11 meters is sometimes better or worse than other times due to changing conditions. As this applies to antenna testing, it means that you might test antenna...

Nothing there that refutes my assertion that ground wave conditions can change from hour to hour and day to day. They can and do.

What is the point of trying to compare omnidirectional CB antennas using testing that has too many variables to be meaningful? Different mounts, heights, feedlines, times of day, conditions (yes, groundwave conditions vary a great deal on 10 and 11 meters) . RX stations with a possible agenda...
