    HT Cross band repeaters

    Yes, the radio takes the same battery and 12V eliminator as the 888K (which I also own) From what I could tell, the radio does NOT have the muffled audio. I put my full review here: Yahoo! Groups

    HT Cross band repeaters

    Mine arrived a few days ago and it does everything as advertised. I haven't used it connected to an outdoor antenna and amp yet; but its repeater does work good from preliminary testing. The full duplex and true dual receiver alone make it worth it.

    Galaxy 979 and SSB question

    NO ssb radio will indicate movement with the meter set to modulation. You must set the meter to POWER. SSB doesn't work the same as AM.

    Can anyone confirm DTMF on the new Baofeng UV-5R

    It DOES have DTMF, and the Wouxun programming cable works.

    Seeking advice on first radio.

    You will definitely make those repeaters and do pretty good on simplex too. A lot of repeaters don't have their exact locations listed. Premium sites are sought and are highly kept secrets. Most tower space is donated to repeater owners and if you get everyone in town going after a specific...

    Seeking advice on first radio.

    I spent well over a year with just an HT. Talked on that thing all the time. Built a homebrew 2 meter ground plane and talked simplex all over too. I ended up buying an amplifier for it. I do have a mobile rig and another mobile as a base/echolink/packet rig now; but still use my HTs...

    Anyone use 220??

    I use 220. My area has one repeater, and a second should be on the air in a couple weeks. With the Wouxun series of radios on the market (there is a 220 version) 220 is making a comeback. Some areas have lots of activity, others not so much.

    5 tone roger beep

    I agree! The only.. and I mean ONLY reason someone would want such a thing is to annoy the hell out of someone deliberately. I wouldn't talk to anyone with one. I can handle a single tone on unkey, but that is it.

    Advice: Galaxy DX line for AM/SSB

    The 979 has got some decent reviews. I can't say what needs done with it. They really are good to work on, and don't need butchered to sound great, especially on AM, where they scream. I have a 949, which I love. I just had to turn the modulation up some and the SSB ALC. SSB indicates NO...

    inexpensive/cheap cb amps . palomar/cobra vs. rm/kl

    I agree. Considering they are Class C... The ONLY thing a Class C amplifier can be used on is FM. That's why you hear all these people wasting their power as they bleed over 10 channels in each direction.
