My friend just took off on his Bicycle and maintained 6-7 s-units for a 1/4 mile. Past that he fell to 5# and after 2 long blocks he went fuzzy going under a fwy overpass. Then he dropped into oblivion lol. So a 1/4 mile solid good sounding signal, then fuzzy but readable 1/8th mile. I have no clue what it could have been if he didnt go under the Interstate which is like a tall hill at that point.
I have a Galaxy DX88HL & Serio 827 @ 54' tip

These radios are high quality and have great features. Turn the modulation up to 100% and connect to a 9 foot whip and it is just as big as any radio out there. Unfortunately the rubber duck antenna does not do it justice.
I have a fluorescent light over the kitchen sink and the ballast is going out. Usually I can flick the light switch just right and it will come on. But then that trick didn't work anymore. Then I remembered that my Randy generates RF...... So I put the antenna beside one of the bulbs and hit the key. Bingo! The light comes on. After having to do that a few times, the light turns on now without a jump start.
Then I showed this little trick to the kids, and they went around the house roger beeping all the lights. Haha!

Thought this might be of interest to the Randy fcc owners.
Got this little charging cradle in the mail today, not really needed but makes it easier to charge.

Where did you get it from? I saw them on eBay a while back and they were over $40. I was going to wait until the price came down before I got one.

Yeah I saw the 40 dollar ones too, a little steep for what it is.
