Yes, it is repeater capable. You will have to set the offset (+5 MHz) because it is not automatic. You can do that through Chirp or manually from the keypad.

Merry Christmas es 73!

TK-8180 is good too. Here's a new one with everything you need for a mobile setup, including the antenna: https://www.ebay.com/itm/167050197589?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5336136228&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1 As with most commercial radios, you will either need to buy a...

Another one to consider is the Icom F6021. Another case of a real radio selling for the same or less than the junk RR and Midland are selling.

I wouldn't deal with Rugged Radio. They are even worse than Midland, plus they bought a license for some business band frequencies and sold programmed radios to Jeepers and racers with the fraudulent claim that anyone who purchased a radio would be covered under their license. Some of those...

Kenwood TK-880. I also have some TK-840s that I occasionally use. Those don't have as many channel slots as the 880, but they are front-panel programmable. I used to have a Motorola, but sold it because the Kenwoods are so much more user-friendly. Also I've heard from several sources that...

Happy 1-4! Hope everyone worked some good DX, or participated in a good round table or ragchew today.

Tomorrow is 10-4!

Brand new Deep Purple!

In my case, I was willing to pay more for the durability of steel. I didn't buy it to have just in case, but to use on a regular basis. Even when percussion caps have been available during the last several years, they have been way more expensive than I'm willing to pay. In my opinion $60 or $75...

I don't doubt they're strong enough. I just worry that they will eventually fatigue and break. I would however like to find the files so I can print my own. That way when it breaks I can just print a new one.

Are you the seller? They cost less than others on the market, and I like the fact that they have a musket cap maker as well as No. 10 and 11. But they are 3d printed plastic, and I have doubts as to how well they will hold up.

This is awesome! Thanks for posting it. Even though they've only been around a few years, it reminds me of discovering in the late '70s an old psychedelic album, on vinyl, from a band I had never heard of before.
