To me he does seem to know what he's doing, he just piles on the marketing BS a little too heavy. I'm sure much of what he talks about in his videos is only there for the videos sake. At the end of the day all that matters is whether or not you're happy with the radios performance. I've been...

IMHO the RF gain knob has to be one of the most underrated functions on a radio, learning how the RF gain, squelch and volume work when all set to work together can do wonders for your receive.

I've seen these used for roofing as well, also for fancy copper gutters and such. Mostly for restorations on historic buildings.

I don't have one of these so take this with a grain of salt but if I'm not mistaken an R-1000 only goes up to about 30 MHz, are you sure the display isn't showing kHz? I believe Captain Killowatt has one of these, I'm sure he can give you all the ins and outs of that radio.

Sometimes getting the basics right is all you have to do.

I never tried it but there's a real old school trucker trick that I would like opinions on, mostly just out of curiosity. Supposedly Ronson lighter fluid makes a good contact cleaner and lube for switches and pots, anyone else ever hear of this one?

So if you're going to solicit shipped-in radios you should stick to walkie-talkies?:whistle:

So if I read that right you're basically transmitting a single 40 channel wide FM signal with "audio" that just happens to look like 40 individual AM signals 10 kHz apart to the receiving station? if so that's quite a clever trick. If as hpssb says it also works on the recieve end a radio...

How small is a "small" amp? It shouldn't be a problem turning a 25 down to run most small amps, if it's true that the Ronald has no adjustments then at 45 watts PEP your small amp will have to be fairly large. I'm thinking that to some extent your choice of amps will dictate what radio you'll need.

Good to see you got it, I'll second the request for a review. I've been on the fence about these as well.

If he says anything that would help identify who he is on the air and you don't mind playing dirty you could record him and transmit the recording on other bands yourself, the trick is to not get caught doing it.;)

A basic SDR receiver will let you listen in on everything with a minimum of fuss, then once you know what's going on with the various bands you can decide what you really want to pursue.

That means that the OP has had 9 years to find a manual, he should have one by now.:whistle:

At one time I was looking for a 1253 or two, shame to see them go away.:(

Does this remind anyone else of Stonehenge in Spinal Tap?

Mirror only needs to be adjusted once when you first buy the car.:whistle:

This has been common with Texas Star for as long as I can remember

I believe Larsen makes an 11 meter antenna that would fit your nmo mount.

Also keep an eye on Craigslist, a lot of people will let stuff go cheaper for a local buyer in order to avoid dealing with shipping the item.

I think the first thing you need if you want to play with improving your audio is the ability to accurately monitor what you're transmitting, something like an SDR would give a good idea of what you're actually putting on the air. Then once you know where you are now you can choose your...
