    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?

    Freq counter questions

    It's been a long time since I messed with CB stuff but I seem to remember those add on freq counters. Can some one give me a quick refresher? Did it take a sample from the VCO/PLL and though dip switch settings add so much to give you your operating frequency? If so what was the range of...

    High Speed Meteor Shower

    Any body try this yet? It’s an easy way for a no code to make DX contacts on 6 and 2 meters. With my minimum set up, 10 elements and 100 watts on 2 meters have made contacts around 800~1000 miles. Though the contacts are the minimum required. www.vhfdx.de/wsjt/ </p>

    Any one running a newer GM?

    I’m about ready to go get me another truck. The Dodge I had was a 2000 and didn’t notice a problem with the electronics. Still weighing the pros and cons of a new GM. 16 pill will be the biggest it ever sees. Yes the dedicated alternator will be migrated over. So any problems with...

    I use the Diamond X500 144/440. It was 6 (read six) S units better than the Ringo Ranger. Try HRO, Universal, which ever one doesn't have a store in your state. </p>

    What truck to stay away from?

    Well it is time for Skip to get a new vehicle. Looking for feedback on any truck that has known excessive noise problems or doesn’t respond well to lots of RF. Right now I have a 2001 Dodge RAM, but it is a gas hog. I use all bands available and an 8-pill on HF. Plan on transferring my...

    Cheap Export radio that is good on SSB.

    I’m looking for a cheap, easy to work on, Export radio with SSB & FM. I’m going to use it as an IF for a transverter so I don’t care about power out. No other bells and whistles; schematics and drawings readily available will be a big plus. </p>

    Icom 706 mkIIg or Kenwood ts50

    It’s a little unfair to compare the 2. I’ve been using a TS50 since they came out. I think the TX audio is better on the Kenwood. And you can program 4 functions to use the 4 buttons on the mike. The only thing I wish my 50 had was a built in speech processor. The ICOM gives you 6 and 2...
