    Programing Cable

    A member here posted this earlier, a utility to swap drivers. I found this handy as one day a driver was happy, then not. Swapping the driver versions back and forth made my Windows 10 behave. https://github.com/johnstevenson/pl2303-legacy

    Looking For A Service Manual For A Uniden Pro 538w CB Mobile Radio

    Well ... not bad results for the first time with a new machine. For the schematic pages, I would scan them at 600 dpi, greyscale. Whether JPG or PDF no matter. I prefer using PDF reader software for zooming in on a schematic over using JPG viewer software. My HP flatbed scanner is still hooked...

    Looking For A Service Manual For A Uniden Pro 538w CB Mobile Radio

    "Decided it was worth the thirteen bucks to scan this manual, compared to the price of a large-format flatbed scanner. The expense is deductible, along with any other manuals we buy." A first and never seen before on the Internet document. Woo-hoo! Thanks NOMAD ... and Dan asking the initial...

    FREQUENCY AND TIME FOR CONTACTS

    Yes, the joy is back. No nut-jobs from 38LSB or even T5USB. No side-band! You get DX + HQ audio. Can't get any better. I dug up a BHI DSP speaker that I had in storage. There is a high level of static in this mode that is annoying and needs to be cut down. Once the FM signal makes it over and...

    FREQUENCY AND TIME FOR CONTACTS

    Yup. I heard you, 226 west Texas. It was all east coast (USA + Canada) for me today.

    FREQUENCY AND TIME FOR CONTACTS

    I've been making a lot of contacts on FM today for the last couple of hours. Chicago, Minnesota, Oregon, California, Nevada. I haven't had this much success and ease with contacts since ... well never. I'll be off/on for the next couple of hours before the sun sets here in western Canada.

    Source for LED light ring for controls (aka nitro knobs)

    Yea, I figured it was not you as I don't think pink would be your fingernail color.

    Source for LED light ring for controls (aka nitro knobs)

    Thanks Andy, the eBay link Lone-Wolf posted has a link to that video. The price I see posted on the Mexican Ebay is now $4.28USD or $30.00USD/for 7, not bad. I am still waiting for a response from them about shipping costs to Canada.

    Source for LED light ring for controls (aka nitro knobs)

    Yeh, thats a good find @ $5USD compared to the $12USD from other sellers on eBay. Are you the eBay seller? But ... still to rich. All of these sellers are sourcing from Ali-whatever for probably $1USD or less.

    Quansheng UV K5

    I would exercise caution as well when using it. Regarding USB charging; this model does not have. I suspect since it was flakey in the first place with the earlier models, why bother. BTW, my claim got rejected because my picture must have been Photoshopped and not proof enough. Meh ... this...

    Solar Cycle update....

    Yup. Thats what common sense told me from the last post someone said (from NOAA) conditions would be going down. And I'm not getting paid the 100k those scientists are getting.

    Quansheng UV K5

    I received my radio today (11 days since ordering). The heft was noticeable due to the extra large battery (2200ma) with this model. Screen looks OK, sounds OK, better than my Baofeng uv-5r. Although, it came with a UK plug for the charger. It was shipped from a warehouse in eastern Canada, so...
