    Planning on getting my 'ticket', what used radio should I be looking for?

    If you are only going for the tech endorsement then I'd recommend a Kenwood, Yaesu, or Icom because with these you can enjoy your 10 mtr. phone priviledges. FT-101's and their variants can be acquired in the $200>$300 range, are stable on SSB and you can get all the freq.'s except for 2m and 6m...

    How bad is it in your area?

    In Philly every other body thinks he's a big strapper. In recent times there was only one really profane guy who everybody kept the maul on until he moved his residence where there are no other stations nearby. Now he plugs nobody's ears and the band rolls on. Guys would knock on his door and he...

    RF Limited PW3000 WattMeter

    I think it is reflective of a poor business acumen to discontinue a product like the PW 3000 meter. Makes me think more than twice about pulling the trigger on any of the other RF Limited products. 3's

    RF Limited News . . .

    Personally I'd like to see RF Limited bring back the PW-3000 power/swr meter. It worked and now has gone the way of Nye Viking and Radiocraft. When something works isn't it good business to keep it going? 3's

    Dosy Test Equipment

    I was in a conversation with a friend who has two of the 4002 meters. His complaints were about the power readings and that when he is on the verticle switch to his moonrakers, the signal is bleeding to the horizontal output as well and that's with both meters. 3's

    Nye Viking RFM-003

    There was a meter for sale on ebay but I passed it by. Today I got a call from the Nye company and was told the person who would repair those meters died 4 years ago so I was doubly glad I didn't pull the trigger on the buy. I read about Radiocraft meters being clones but their website host...

    Nye Viking RFM-003

    Bumping right along...how about the Radiocraft meter? I read about it some time ago but can't find a website for it. I keep getting redirected to QTH's website. 3's

    Nye Viking RFM-003

    I passed on an opportunity to get this meter which was on ebay because it wasn't working. I wasn't sure if the Nye Company would take it and repair it. How good were these and do the Radiocraft meters work as well? The RFM-003 seller said that he replaced parts (pots) in the sample unit and...

    inexpensive ham radios for 11 meter conversion ???

    I think an FT-101E is a good choice also for 11mtr use. Add to that they've become really affordable too. 3's

    Workman SWR-Digital

    I'm using a Radio Shack MTA-20 digital swr/power meter. Please elaborate. Are you saying they're unsafe? How does someone check for leakage? 3's

    What if?

    Uniden PB01A Board. AM/FM/SSB just like my 148GTL-DX. The only thing I'd want done differently is they could remove the roger peep or give it a switch. 3's Happy New Year!!!

    Henry 2K2

    Doesn't that linear require 2 x 3-400Z's. Is there a difference between the 400-Z's and the 500-Z's ? 3's

    Custom Mic

    I think it would be the easiest thing to just switch the mic element from the astatic to the stock lincoln. That way you avoid the headache of trying to retrofit the up - down buttons. JMHO 3's

    Bobs CB

    My AR-3500 (35watt model) developed some distortion in the audio when tx so it's off to Bob's. He's the only person I've read about that would even have the parts for the AR. When I called him the woman told me there was a 6 month back up but what's the alternative for my situation. Bob was...

    Does this make you mad?

    I'll tell you what's worse. After I arrived home from church Sunday I got a phone call from an amateur friend who told me that another ham was on the frequencies telling people I was broadcasting below channel 1 on AM. Now mind you a lot of that freeband stuff is going on with the CB crowd but...

    Your Opinion on China VS United States
