    Any Wouxun KG-UVD or Baofeng UV-3r group buy interest?

    So are we doing this?

    HF + tuner + Wilson Antenna

    For 40m, I was planning to make a screw-in 5 or 6" air coil around PVC pipe, to screw in between the whip and the ball. Same idea though, auto-tuner at the base. Seems a LOT more durable than screwdriver type antennas. I'm not interested with 75/80m on the go. Loss is too high. I...

    dual clarifiers? Separate for RX and TX?

    I just use the VFO to decide TX frequency. If I'm off frequency a bit, I let the other guy hone in and then use the RIT to tune him in.

    Radio Shack 102 in Whip

    Can't be beat on the receive side either. Simple physics. 102" > 51" when it comes to pulling out weak signals.

    My friends make fun of me.....

    Cigarette smell is impossible to get out of transformers. Nice 101 though. I hope you're conservative on the output.

    short tilting mast

    Any reason why you didn't just put a 5 ft or 10 ft tripod with 10 ft of mast on the roof? Looks great otherwise!

    How would you spend $1000 on freeband stuff?

    Why willingly subject yourself to shitty equipment for the same price?

    FRS specs need a serious upgrade

    FRS is supposed to be really short range. Hence why the channels seem empty. Get your GMRS if you want real range.

    New Chinese HT approved by FCC - Vero UV-3R

    I might grab one and put one of those mini antennas on it. Seems like it might make an okay pocket rig. I'm curious what the range would be.

    How common is SSB on 2 meters and 70 centimeters?

    It's not worth killing yourself over. However, by all means, upgrade to an FT857! All-mode HF/VHF/UHF. Also, if they sound like donald duck, you're not centered on their TX frequency. Use the RIT/Clarifier, that's what it is there for.

    Awesome ARES RACES HAM Car

    I'll stick to my CRX HF. 50 mpg is more economically friendly for my 80 mile round trip commute.

    Yaesu FT-101EE

    Complete but needs work ~$100-$150 Mint, works perfectly ~$400 I bought mine for $225. Noiseblanker doesn't work, and the AM mod wasn't properly added. The RF gain pot is a little scratchy. Also, 10C+10D are 11m xtals, WWV xtal is gone. 9/10 cosmetics. 6JS6Cs are getting rare. Expect...

    yesterday at work..Not for the weak stomachs

    Nice 1st degree burn there, with some 2nd mixed in. I have some 2nd/3rd on my right hand from a poly based hot melt glue distribution machine. Makes it a bitch to get my fingerprints done!

    Why don't you just get another 5k stinger? You're creating quite a large amount of extra work for yourself.

    Any one intersted in Microwave Oven Transformer's needs to watch this!!

    I don't think they care too much about core saturation.
