I do exactly the same thing and fuse my positive and negative leads for the KX3 with a 2.5A fast act glass fuse. The real advantage to the Buddipole batteries seems to be the internal thermistor internal polyswitch but I think the fusing I described should provide protection as well. Any...

Has anyone heard reference to a serial number at which point this radio has rec'd all factory updates? That's fairly common in other products, like amateur radios.

Galaxy 959 video Hey thanks a lot for posting that Youtube video of your new galaxy radio! That was awesome.... More people should do that, including me! I really enjoyed watching that, thanks again. :)

Ultimate base/mobile setup Good luck FJR Predator. You won't regret it. Have Fun!

Let's be serious, even if just for a brief moment. NO offence to anyone with what I'm about to say. Please. 1500-2000 watts into a beam antenna using a $300.00 cb radio. May I have some of that money you're prepared to throw around? :shock: If you're looking to drown out other cb radio...

repair FT840 Good morning: What's your radio doing?

Ranger Freedom One If you can pick one up for $75, nab it! That's a great deal. I had mine opened up for above and below cb freqs. I use it with a Turner noise cancelling mic and it seems to be a good combination; I get good reports on audio. I think my clarifier was opened a little much to...

The 7000 is a beautiful radio that builds on the feautures of the 706. I don't own one but have two friends that do. I've owned a MKIIG for 4 years now and would buy a 7000 at the drop of a hat. The FT897 (have one} is a good radio as well, but is a totally different creature than the 7000 and...

Good for you. Good attitude. You're right, there is more to amateur radio than just ragchewing. Have fun and never stop learning......... :lol:

Icom 746 Pro I don't own a 746 Pro. I do own a TS570, TS50 and an Icom 706 MKIIG. I've talked to many people who run an Icom 746 and they can be a nice sounding rig if they're set up right. They have a lot of potential; all mode VHF and HF. Make sure the Pro you're looking at has been...

Yep, I'll be sure to let you know if I hear anything.............

Thanks for all the comments guys. I hear at least one pre-production run of the 175 watt S9s is out for testing. 'Will be following reports on that one in the next couple weeks............

Thanks for the reply lords. I haven't heard a great deal about it so far. 'Kind of surprising considering all the hype before it came out. I enjoy my S-9.

Has anyone bought one of these radios? What do you think of it so far? Are there any reviews anywhere on the net? Curious to know what they're like........... :?:

Well, good luck finding out your problem. I've run two Lincolns and one 2510 for over ten years and thankfully never had this issue. Happy Easter
