    another newbie ????

    http://www.icomamerica.com/downloads/US_UHF_VHF_Band_Chart.PDF This chart use to be clear, but it shows SSB allowed in places where it is not. Not much AM on VHF and above except for 6 meters, 50.400 I think. What is allowed, and what is acepted are 2 different things. Every once in a...

    Free banders on 75M

    In Europe 6.675(?) was a popular "Free Band" but I think it is intended for maritime. 13.985 was another place. I bet just above or below every band there is some activity. Oh I almost for got, 7.410 +/- is popular for pirates, mostly one way broadcast but ocasionaly you would hear QSO...

    Suggestions for 6 meter Antenna

    The thing about 6 meters, when it is open you can stick a coat hangar in the SO-239 port and work DX. But it is not open all the time. The Moxon described above is easy to make. I velcroed one to the top of my pick up shell. Not an exact fit but it worked good enough to make a lot of DX...

    What kind of connectors go on BIRD line section.

    That's the connectors I was looking for. Kind of pricey though. According to Henry's website they are BIRD propriety(sp) so I guess that why they cost so much.

    What kind of connectors go on BIRD line section.

    Thanks for the link NJ 124. The connectors I was asking about are for the meter. His site referes to them as "DC" connectors. I'll need a couple of those too.

    What kind of connectors go on BIRD line section.

    Check out this item on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=007&item=170015773971&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1 Looks like it takes bird 43 elements. And can do forward and reflected at the same time. But what type of connectors does it use for the meter movement?

    6 meters dead in ca.

    It depends on your set up. If all you have is a ¼ wave ground plane then you’re going to think the band is dead most of the time. If you got a beam, a preamp and some pwr, then the band is always open to somewhere. From San Diego I can work SSB to LV, central and northern CA most days or nights...

    Browning Links?

    Thanks Nomad, that PLL unit is something like what I was thinking of. Shame about the drift but not bad for AM I guess. My kid was playing with the radio and ended up on 27.085, I heard all those Brownings out there made me interested again, maybe a Christmas present for myself. So do you...

    Motorola radius

    Not really "Normal Channels". The radios are usally shipped blank with no information at all. When a customer wants one it is then programmed with their frequencies and the options that they purchase. If you don't have a business frequency in mind then you probably would want the MURS...
