    is the galaxy 949 illegal

    My issue was the Part 15 approval for all commercially manufactured equipment. Every ham has seen new stuff that says "This equipment is not avalable, as it has not been FCC approved". Example below: Icom ID-31, Icom ID31 D-STAR HandiTalkie NOW.. This is probably because it has a...

    is the galaxy 949 illegal

    I suppose I could research and quote more regs... but WHY? I have a 949 and love it! It has everything I want in a CB. I made a good choice. Galaxy seems a quality product, and has designed them to be easily adjusted and provide the info. I've heard some bad things, such as SSB...

    is the galaxy 949 illegal

    Yes... the 99V is totally illegal. The FCC has been cracking down on these so-called "10 meter" radios. This is why the Cobra 200 gtl DX went bye-bye. Its FCC approval was pulled. All this stuff is a "CB" hidden as a so called 10 meter radio, made for the illegal CB crowd. The FCC is now...

    GALAXY 959- clipping the limiter and spreading the copper coils

    TOTALLY WRONG!! NEVER and I repeat.. NEVER clip the limiter! also, spreading colis.. same deal. You got ripped! Your radio can be peaked out easily by turning the trimmers and set up right. Galaxy made these radios to be easily peaked without butchery! All you will get is complaints...

    Wouxun kg-uv920r Mobile

    Well, no one really knows. It is all speculation. We can HOPE it is reasonable (for a Wouxun) 73

    My First Satellite Contact

    Congrats on your first contact! I've worked K8YSE also... he gets around. My QSL card wall is getting papered pretty good. Send one to him and he'll reply. Pretty nice pics of his mobile setup. 73 :)

    What would be the reaction if Hams used 11m legally using their calls.

    CB and Amateur radio are totally different services. It is definitely poor operating practice you use your Amateur Call on CB. Certainly it is legal.. but... what about a CB operator who is also a ham comes on the local 2 meter repeater giving his "handle" while talking to another Ham/cber...

    Satellite Frustration

    Oh yes, great fun working a bird on an HT. I always record the contact on my cell phone voice recorder, then work on the file on my computer to get all the data. Got a wall full of QSL cards from sats. One pass, knocked off 3 contacts... Definitely a challenge.. but it pays off in the...

    Frequencies are pre-programmed into the PLL chip. Not possible.

    So.. then.. this site allows discussion of illegal CB stuff?

    Go ahead and lock the thread. I"m getting no intelligent answers here. Instead I get my address posted in forums and pretty much the same smear campaigns that the illegals do on CB. Obviously, my point as to the characted of illegal CBers has been proven. I need no further eduction or...

    KD8DVR

    Ah... those radios have FCC approval! FCC ID:WVTWOUXUN04 Making false allegations are we? Yes you are! Also posting may address just proves my point on how underhanded a criminal CBer will be. Resort to stupidity instead of intelligence. But I understand. It only proves my point...

    Cobra 19 LTD Mods?

    This is the forum for discussing Amateur radio mods, NOT CB mods. Go to the CB section.
