When more states go to systems like the one in illinois STARCOM 21 The laws will become un needed as most of the comms will be digital and voice will be secondary to full digital frequency hopping Radios anyway. Voice will not die and the scanner will become more money out if the pocket book...

The smallest than must have been Motorola?

Wait. When no one buys them and the ware houses fill up A spring sale or forth of july sale will happen. With a coupon of course.Ham outlet or AES will have a big sale. But than hams in general are a older breed of people set in their finacinal ways so they purchase the over priced high marked...

Dumber? Mabe in radio YES but Dumber I guess where you come from does matter. I do not think a kid that can rebuild a 350 chevy engine but not rebuild a radio is dumb. Or A kid that can build a computer and than reprogram it(or write a new program for it) is Dumb. I believe part of the...

I agree that two meters is busy but how about 440? or 220? When was the last time you heard a new call? How long did that new call last and did he/she stay with it and up grade their lic? or did they as the stats show let it expire. If you look at the stats we are as a hobbie loosing more...

I have said this before on other forums. The hobbie is slowly dying. very soon CW and Bandaid won't have to worrie about 10 meters because 10 mters won't exist. Ham radio is dying a long slow death. The truth can no longer be denied.(SAD very SAD)

Damn One of us hit a nerve!

Bandaid you are correct. you should also take some of your own advice and stop the B.S. postings all over the web about ten meters that you and c w post.

Simple question. Where does it say on your license that you may inforce any laws put in force by the fcc? (you can't) CW and Bandaid kid you are not federal law inforcement officers all you are ALLOWED to do is observe and report what you think are violations in the ham bands. You have no...

This should not be a surprise to anyone here!

How wonderful it must be to live in your world CW. Just do what ever the govt tells you to do and all will be well. You must believe in the Easter Bunny as well. And wear rose colored glasses too. Did you forget about the American attidue to be rebels? Do you really beleave that the govt is...

Brrrrrrrr!

Let's wish them luck!

Nope nothing terrible about the truth! It is and has become what it is because the powers that be thought that by passing a few rules and than not inforceing their own rules that all would be well in radio land. So when a few complained did they start to inforce the rules nope pass a few more...

I will answer you with candor as I always try to. 1.I truly believe that the FCC made a error way back when they put the cb band where they did .26 MHZ is a band that is going to skip. Just because the rules say you can't talk over a 150 mile limit does not make it so. it,s a HF band. and...

So why are you are bringing yourself down to CWMorse's level? I think the rest of us understand the problem. The cure will be a little more painful for both Hams and non Hams alike. But I wonder if the Hams like CW will ever be able to clean up the ham bands? before they worry about the cb...

Well than if 10,11,12 meters are trashed what will C.W. have to moan and groan about?? Mabe the fact that his beloved FCC let it happen in the first place? Naw that would make too much sense?

For audioShockwav Google this rm-11305 or rm-11306 or try www.qrz.com About 1/2 way down the page www.w8ji.com/rm-11305.htm www.w8ji.com/rm-11306.htm www.eham.net/articles/12938 Does this answer the band width question proposal?

Ray keep posting letters that you find on the sites. It does nothing to change the fact that truck stops and others still sell export radios and amps etc. And as for the band end allocations all you have to do is read the ham sites. Canada did it and now it is in the rule making process here...

I and a-lot of other drivers and owner/operators just want to thank the members of this site for putting up with C W ( rover Radio ray etc) and all his garbage. Thanks for allowing him to spew his hatred of truckers here and not on the trucker boards. (It was getting old quick) The story is...
