    POTA haters and purposeful interference.

    I am beginning to get the idea that POTA is not at the top of your list?

    Ah the good old days

    The good old days are gone but not forgotten. As a kid, my father would take me to the hardware store. We would look through all the drawers of nuts, bolts and screws. We could easily spend half a day in there, discussing what the different fasteners were used for. Sometimes we would have to...

    Sinad Meter

    Thank You everyone for your input, this has certainly given me a lot to think about. I hate to ask for help just to leave everyone hanging, but it will be several weeks before I can get back to this. And I am sure I have other threads with no conclusion too. Bench time for me is hard to get now...

    Thanks for the offer. I am eager to get this set up, but I don't have much time to actually sit down and work with it yet. I will let you know what I find.

    Sinad Meter

    That does seem like a lot, more than I wanted to pay for an untested unit. Hopefully it is in some kind of usable state, and if I have to fix it, its no worse than buying something from MFJ. Haha! The seller accepted my offer and Eboogle was so nice as to go ahead and use my credit card to pay...

    New President Washington Mobile Radio?

    Yeah, the 955 has knobs but the Washington is smaller. Washington might have more features, not sure.

    Sinad Meter

    I recently acquired an HP 8656B Signal Generator and am trying to locate a Sinad meter to go with it. Does anyone use a volt meter for this? I have read that a Sinad meter is better, and maybe I am not looking in the right places. There was a guy on Youtube that made some, and I will contact...

    Found Tower & Antenna for sale

    Mine is probably over too, but I don't expect anyone to come by and try to measure it. The way I see it, it's not a problem until it's a problem.

    CB shops not for the weak.

    Here is the thread on the Ares 2 that was started two years ago when we were eagerly waiting for it to be released to the public. https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/anytone-ares-2.265547/

    CB shops not for the weak.

    Just move a jumper inside to the next set of pins for 11 meter. Hold down both channel buttons on mic, and the frequency scrolls by on the channel display.

    CB shops not for the weak.

    The Radiodity QT40 is the same exact radio and comes with a warranty. Often goes on sale, I have one as a backup. Open the cover and move a jumper for 11 meters. https://www.radioddity.com/products/radioddity-qt40

    Found Tower & Antenna for sale

    Sixty feet to the tip or not more than twenty feet above a building or tree that it is mounted to. Probably need a permit in some areas. An apartment building or tall tree would work great..... https://www.w0is.com/miscpages/cbantennabasics.html
