    20m moxon... Ok now I have decided...

    you could always throw wooden dowels in the pvc pipe, then cap off the ends to keep the wood from rotting. For my 2m slim Jim mast/mast isolator I used 1/2" pvc and sanded a dowel to the id of the pipe, then i capped both ends and painted it with non metallic paint. It's not perfect, and...

    BaoFeng uv-5r

    MURS Wikipedia WalMart is licensed to use that frequency. They are the primary user, you are required to not give harmful interference. Though, I would have thought that was common sense.

    Monoband recommendation?

    ft 2900r seems pretty bomb proof. It's $125 at HRO right now. The Kenwood tm281 is a bit smaller and pretty cheap on HRO. These are 2m only. I've used them both and like them a lot.

    Looking at antennas and found this.

    it looks like a standard 1/4 wave dipole. It's too easy to build for yourself. Why not save money and make your own in a few minutes?

    CRE 8900 SSB - don't know if anyone had posted this yet

    I know I've read about speculation that this radio was made by Alinco, looks like it's true. I tried to see if this had been posted here already, but couldn't(so don't bash if it's a repost). Maybe I can find on these for less than the CRE. The Alinco DR-135CB Look familiar?

    Cell phone antennas

    Well here's a kicker. I bought a Wilson NMO mount antenna for my truck. Turns out I can't find the pigtail to connect my phone to the FME-F connector on the antenna. Here's what I bought. Antenna Cable Adapter I have a Motorola Triumph, it has the same antenna port and the Samsung...

    Baofeng UV-3R vs UV-5R differences?

    I can't remember where I found them, but you need older drivers for the cable. The drivers that windows automatically downloads fails(on purpose). The manufacturer of the cables don't have a license for some serial/USB chip in the cable, and the new drivers have wonderful DRM in them. I have...

    Which mobile radios have the best ears?

    I've got the Bearcat 980. Receive is much better than my Galaxy 959. The noise just isn't there on SSB, and is greatly reduced on AM. On sideband I can hear all over the US with my 1/2 wave groundplane. Sadly I can't get out since my antenna is 3 feet off the ground, and I'm barefoot. I'm...

    More than likely I would have joined eventually. Though, I doubt my opinion on the matter of this thread will likely not change.

    I like the content. And I understand blocking image views for those who aren't logged in, but this one really bugged me. There's a wealth of knowledge here, but it's held hostage until you create a user name.

    Limited post views?

    I was researching antennas and this site kept coming up. Then, all of the sudden the site blackmailed me, sign up or gtfo. I like what's on here, but this limited post views without logging in is pretty rude.
