Someone was mentioning the skip problem with CBers and someone else said just switch them to FM and that would end the problem. Doesn't skip have more to do with frequency than modulation?? Would all modulation types skip the same?

Look up "server power supply" on ebay. You'll have to reseach what you want. I got HP one and soldered some big wires on the output. It's like 50 amp and I got it for $20. Maybe something like this...

I ran across this thread and would just like to add my $.02. I just got my license and was using a 1/4 wave at 20' with RG59. I finally got things set up here with a Comet GP9 & LMR400 at 35' up. YOWZA is this thing on FIRE! I'm in central MI and can pick up Canada. When conditions are not...

I see this post is a month old but.... If you go to Google Earth click Add, Path, click your location, zoom in or out, click on other location (water), title it and hit OK. Now that your path is there, right click on the path and go to Show Elevation Profile. This will show you if you need...

Good idea CK. I looked at the one that was working and it had solder on only pad 3. They had removed pad 3 and added pad 2 like the one mod said but that is what was causing the problem. I removed pad 2 and the ARS started working as well as out of band. It seemed to work ok but I still...

Bingo I found a result here. Yaesu FT-1802 (FT 1802 FT1802) transceivers mods reviews software and diagrams it looks like mods.dk has one to extend TX without damaging ARS. Here's a fix http://theprepared.com/content/view/140/47/ now if I can unmod it???!!

I have a Yaesu FT-1802 that won't shift like my other one. When I go to menu item 4 ARS it says off and I cannot change it (my other one will). It must have been mod'd because it transmits out of band.

I got my first OCF antenna and I don't understand the SWR readings. 10M = 1.8, 20M = 1.5, 40M = infinity, 80M = infinity. I cut the LMR400 like coax and soldered on new fittings and checked it with a resistor. I am reading about 1/2 ohm resistance on the antenna balun. I do not have an...

I have a base/mobile scanner, portable scanner, Yaesu FT1802. Almost everything around here is VHF (or MPSCS 800 mhz). I was possibly looking forward to using the scan feature on my Yaesu to replace most of my scanning but now I don't think so. Most scanners have lots of memory banks that can...

Looking for a fitting but didn't want to spend $10 for shipping I ran across these sites that look like the same business behind the scene. The Terms & COnditions is unbelievable. They don't take phone calls, operate out of a PO box, You can't ship back to the box. Looks like something called...

Great info about the filters but my problem was Wide mode. Putting it in Narrow mode cured them and they work great. The one I was using has a problem where it reverts back to wide mode and I didn't notice.

Used to do HVAC now do building automation.

You can change transmitter power, antenna height, gain, loss, etc. I would like to know of other similar sites. Radio Mobile Online

My wife just got ripped off on some schoolbooks. She sold four and the lady claimed she only got two so she returned two, kept two, and got a full refund. We then found out that if a buyer files a complaint, the seller cannot file against them. We compared our postage 6 pounds to her return...

I ran out of solder so I stopped at the hardware and they had two types of solder; 95/5 and 60/40. I was wondering if one is better/different than the other. That got me thinking about my silver solder at work. We use stuff called Stay-Brite which is tin/silver. Am I actually reducing the...

End fed. I know 1/4 waves should be at 45 degrees but does that apply to 5/8?
