I say we stop paying the lazy bastard, besides the moon is much easier on the eyes......:biggrin:

I've been using FireFox for a few years now and between IE, Nutscrape, and this Mozilla product, it has been the best I have used. However there are certain websites that do not like FireFox, Facebook for one, and any message board hosted on YuKu, beyond that FireFox has been problem free, and...

I'm not sure what would be worse....caned, or canned.....:blink:

I have a Bluetooth ear piece that came with my Verizon cell phone, the audio in the ear piece is far better than the audio from the phone, but that damn thing will just not stay securely on my ear. When driving it pops right off my ear and falls between the seat and consul...usually during a...

The optional D-Star board goes for around $200.00, now that's not to say your IC-91A is only worth $150.00, but I would tend to think it not worth too much more without the D-Star, and no box or manual. The Diamond SRH77CA antenna should add approx $30.00 to it's value. The main issue with...

As already pointed out, you should check on the number of and locations of the D-Star repeaters before jumping into that arena, I do know there are a few in the UK as I've talked to a couple hams from there via the D-Star gateway...(I can also tell you with a lot of certainty that it's even...

So this is a commercial fisherman thing with the signal scrambling. I really do not know anymore about it other than what I was able to find on the Standard-Verizon website, and that wasn't much.... As for commercial fishing, I have mixed feelings, I was once involved in the industry many...

WW.... There's 3 kinds of fishermen around here.... Us poor bastards that fish from the beach, rock jetties, bridges, sod banks, and free public fishing piers.... The guys with just enough money to get themselves a 20 foot or under center consul with an outboard, that fish the back bays...

Looking a little deeper I found that the voice scrambler option for a hand held is only available on the Submersible and intrinsically safe HS370S model. Looked it up on the West Marine site..... That's 300 bucks for just the radio, add another $112.00 for the voice scrambler..... The...

I just did a complete search on the Vertex - Standard website, doing a search of "FVP-31" resulted in this coming back.... No other information concerning what it does, how it does it, or how to install it. The CVS-2500 shows up as an optional accessory for the higher end fixed mount VHF...

More information is needed..... Are they also on a ham band, or VHF Marine.....? If they are talking on VHF Marine radios, there is no scrambling of the signal unless they are using an outboard device which is illegal on that radio service. And if that "is" the case, you would need to know...

Greetings from the Soprano State.....A.K.A. Dirty Jerzy.....:D

There's 4 ham radio clubs within convenient reach of my QTH, I belong to two of them. One I joined just to be a contributing member since our county skywarn organization uses their repeater for weekly nets and actual severe weather activations. I go to meetings when I have nothing else going on...

Maybe, but I recall Hawkeye Pierce saying once in an episode of MASH.....:wink:

It's only good if..... 1. You don't mind putting all your eggs into one basket.... (if the radio breaks down, you loose everything) 2. You can afford what will most likely be a very high price tag.... It would make for a nice clean shack with just one main radio, however I like having...

Carl Marx, Louis Blanc, Obama, Adolf Hilter.....all come from the same cesspool of political ideology..... and "NO"....I do not agree with the statement... Those who pull themselves up by the bootstraps, work hard, and make something of themselves should reap every benefit of their hard...

Kinda funny how Kenwood jumped on and is expanding it's offerings based on APRS, while Yeasu is running with their "WIRES II" system, and Icom with D-Star. Out of the three I believe D-Star is the better package, you get digital voice, messaging, it's backed up with several repeaters, gateways...

A friend of mine sent me a link to a Japanese site with photo's of that radio, plus the new one Kenwood is putting out in 2010. The photo's were taken at the big hamfest in Japan, apparently the big three puts stuff out to the Japaneses market before the American market. Icom... IC-9100 at...

I can only assume that the hardest part about keeping any repeater directory current is the fact that so many clubs and individuals go through the process of putting one up, and within a year or two they either break down and don't get fixed, or they are taken off line due to inactivity...

Absolutely true, but I would also add to that..... Stop voting for lawyers...!!! Putting lawyers in a position to create laws is like handing the keys to your new car to a drunk, and giving him the option to drive home.... Lawyers only make laws that benefit lawyers, one of the reasons...
