I am very happy with my LP-100a - no straining to read or worries about inaccuracy. Telepost Inc. Home Page

One more step down the road to 100 years from now when TV will be long forgotten history. (Nielsen has TV viewership down two years running btw . . . ) I already know many folks who don't regularly watch TV, and in some cases don't have TV in their homes.

If he already has a radio it will be matter of looking up the radio and finding out from the manufacturer literature whether it supports computer control, and then what hardware and software is required to make it happen. If he is starting from scratch with no existing radio then research SDR...

I installed it but still can't get it to see the stick. The interface doesn't look as nice as SDR console but SDR console is a little frustrating in terms of laying out the windows. Both are nicer than SDR# which is very basic. Also, none seem to have scan capabilities which I would...

V2 of SDR console is nicer than SDR sharp. If you follow directions in post 29 (thanks vo1ks) and make sure those three DLLs are in the right directory, the NooElec dongle works fine with SDR console.

I got stick installed and working, getting that done with the cryptic information available was not straight forward. I am receiving, but very little given the poor antenna. I am waiting for a few cables to come so I can hook up the Ham it up and external antenna – I’ll report back in a few...

Wireless mic is interesting - not a power mic so not really outstanding audio even with the gain turned all the way up. That said audio is clear and range is great. Not sure it'll sell for what it was intended for (mobile use) but as a base radio accessory it does the trick. If it had an...

That looks like an old clothesline ladder in the middle.

RM Italy makes them too. Some clean, others splatter boxes. Usually inexpensive, and may are overrated in terms of power output. Most like very low drive for long life. They work, if run right and serve a purpose.

What antennas are you guys connecting to?

I'm in - just ordered the NooElec as it seems to have awider frequency range: Amazon.com: NooElec TV28T v2 USB DVB-T & RTL-SDR Receiver, RTL2832U & R820T Tuner, MCX Input. Low-Cost Software Defined Radio Compatible with Many SDR Software Packages. R820T Tuner & ESD-Safe Antenna Input...

I ordered the wireless mic based on the review - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B3QBRQQ/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 little pricey but interesting for use around the house.

Response from Ameritron: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you have a QSK installed, the XMIT light on the amp stays on as long as the amplifier is in operate. It only puts out power when you key up the radio.

UPDATE: Bulbs came today by postal mail - ugh - took a week plus. I replaced both bulbs/fuses (both tested open) - no more drop in receive so that seems to have done the trick. SWR is flat 1.0 and set to not key the amp through the LP-100A if it goes over 1.5 so I am not expecting to have to...

From this page: Texas Star Export Feature Chart Looks like it makes max power at 20 watts. (I thought HD meant high drive for Texas star but two 2290s don't need high drive . . . . )
