I live on the edge of town, a stones throw from the city limit. I am in the same boat.

For Christmas two years ago, I bought each kid an ammo can to put in their vehicles. I loaded them with tow straps, jumper cables, flashlight, ice scraper, first aid kit, mylar blanket, fold up shovel, and a warm hat. They were jam packed for sure.

I haven't done anything yet, but this is what I was thinking. A deck of cards to help pass the time, because hopefully there won't be too much excitement. Three days worth of high calorie survival bars for each person: SOS Food Labs, Inc. 185000825 S.O.S. Rations Emergency 3600 Calorie Food...

These are especially useful in bear country.

How many people thought this was CCR?

The cat is out of the bag. Here is the video that they asked me to take down.

Cleaning out the garage and standing by on 16 LSB. Tried calling every half hour, and I come up dry. No conditions, no get back. Standing by.....

I believe it is a peat and repeat function repeater on the same channel. I don't think the same radio can tx and rx at the same time? Just imagine the chaos it would generate when the skip rolls in.... :ROFLMAO: But would Uncle Charlie even notice?

Before I got a scope, I would adjust my modulation by listening to my transmit audio. I use a second radio with no antenna and headphones as a station monitor. While talking into the microphone in a normal voice, I slowly turn up the modulation until it starts to sound raspy, then turn it back...

Isn't there a highway construction beacon system that uses something like this?

I would love to have a 1600, just don't have the funds right now.

I don't work on many radios, and I enjoy your posts. I like to follow along with your progress to see what the fix is. Normally supply and demand would set the price of service. If you can't get enough work, maybe the price is too high. And if you have too much work, your price is too low. If...

Several days? I was never able to live that down, until she became EX #2. :ROFLMAO:

It shouldn't take much of a relay, the amp and finals are connected to power and not switched. I have used these relays ( link below ) to key amplifiers etc. they are rated for 2 amps and you can put the two contacts in parallel for 4 amps. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008SO67ZM?tag=worradfor-20

Another thought to ponder: Apparently the switch is not up to the task of supplying the necessary current to run the radio properly. A small relay could be added to do the heavy lifting, while the switch supplies the few milliamps to switch the relay. I bet a relay costs way less than a switch too.

For sealed switches and pots, I drill a tiny hole in the plastic and spray Deoxit in.
