Fake?? Whats Fake?? the Imax? The garbage can? The recycling bin which says Sparta Wi on the side which is where I live? Your brain is "fake".

I used to own an Imax......

People really need to get away from CB's and take a tech/general exam and join a local Amateur radio club. You will be much happier. :thumbup1:

Nice setup Curlyjoe! Here is mine. Been making a few contacts.

Please tell me your joking, now 2 meter rigs will be on the FCC ban list.:rolleyes:

Well respectfully if I were to pay a hundred for crystals I would just throw in $200 more and buy a whole radio.

Thanks, but I dont need the complete set, I see them on ebay for big bucks. I just want to swap the one. :)

Anyone have a Yaesu ft 101 34.020 (10 a) crystal they would like to trade for the 33.52 crystal (27.5- 28.0)??

:D

Void, you said you check the light bulb.

That would probably be my choice out of the radios listed.

What about that Icom 706? Doesnt it have VHF/UHF? That would have my interest since I am in the market for a 2 meter SSB.

Back in my CB outlaw days I regularly talked to a guy in Florida on ssb who had one of these Jo Gunn beams and was generally the loudest station.

I have the Diamond x50 which is only 5'6 inches tall and it works well but I wonder if I should have opted for a taller vertical myself? Price dictated my vertical since I bought two yagis at the same time. Nothing wrong with the X50 though just never owned another to compare it too.

Most people just stick there Imax 2000 in the air and use it for 3 or 4 yrs until it starts falling apart and then they throw it in the garbage. Why all this over analyzing?
