    KX3 Transverrter function?

    I have never owned a Elecraft HF rig but have had some of the transverter's they offer in kit form that were fun to assemble and operate. My question is about interfacing a transverter with the KX3. Is any special ports ex. ALC, key, etc included on the KX3? It would be nice to use this to drive...

    FT857d or IC7000

    FT-857D or IC-7000 This may be just a little late but I thought I would add my 2 cents. I have all three rigs mentioned (IC-7000, TS-2000, FT-857D). The FT-857D is a rock solid little performing rig but lacks all the extra options and features of the IC-7000. If and when you were to go out...

    FTM-350 Question

    Anyone that owns a FTM-350 can answer this probably. Can the Yaesu FTM-350 show the 6 digit grid square like the TM-D710 does? It would be a nice feature for the people that do VHF+ contesting (ex: myself!!) and moving from location to location. Mike KC2PLJ

    VHF SSB vertical antenna

    Horizontal Vs. Vertical A vertical antenna will receive a signal from a horizontal one and the opposite is also true. Weak signal work on VHF and above is done with horizontally polarized antenna's Ex: Yagi's, Quad's or oni directional Loops or Square (aka: squalo). So is short is yes you...

    is the ft-2900 a good rig

    2900 When I owned my FT-2800, it was reliable and never gave me any problems. So far, looking at the mostly positive reviews on E-ham I would say it's a nice buy but unable to comment personally as I have never owned one. Let us all know what you think! As far as a 14 element FM yagi, that...

    is the ft-2900 a good rig

    2900 I had a Yaesu FT-2800 that was my first 2 meter rig and was great in both the car and base. The power out was roughly 65 watts (the updated model you are getting will push 75!). With a decent mobile antenna you should have no problem talking simplex to other stations....how far is not an...

    I can't use ham to replace cb

    Prices Ham radio does not have to be expensive at all if you know what to look for. A lot of times you can find decent used equipment for a fraction of the cost that will last you years. The first couple of radios that I purchased after becoming a Tech were less than 100.00 (mobile units mind...

    Yaesu FTM-350 Price released

    Yes! My thoughts exactly, I would have to sell my FT-857D (not a chance!) just to fund this thing. No way, I like my HF/VHF/UHF shack in the box! It does SSB on VHF/UHF to! The FTM-350 is nice but not luring enough to sell my all mode FT-857D, Mike KC2PLJ

    VX-7R vs VX-8R

    VX-7 vs. VX-8 I know nothing about the VX-7 as I have never owned one but have read online plenty about it's features compared to the VX-8R. I will say that others have hit it on the head by saying that if you don't want/ need APRS, Bluetooth etc. than the extra money will be better served...

    Yaesu VX-8r Review

    I looked into the D-star thing and was really interested in the digital voice however no repeaters exist in this area for D-star with the nearest one being 128 miles a way and a UHF machine to boot. No way was I going to be able to hit that even on a good day with my base antennas. The VX-8R...
