    Roof mount on a 2017 f 150

    One thing to think about is the strength of the aluminum vs the steel. I would reinforce the roof mount to be safe. As I remember, there were issues with the aluminum bodies getting torn going thru a car wash because of the am fm radio antenna. Just a thought

    ARRL is Loosing my Membership/If passed!

    I do understand the feeling that others are getting handed something which you worked for. With that said, from what I've read, some compare technicians to 11m. Seriously? While some feel comfortable generalizing every person in a group, if I did that, I would have no interest in taking my test...

    ARRL is Loosing my Membership/If passed!

    I don't feel so bad now. Not only do ham ops turn their nose up on 11m ops but other hams as well. I would think that anyone holding their ticket would be happy to see more on frequencies they use. I still plan on getting my ticket but if I hear a station talking like this, I will find another...

    Massively upgraded site hosting services

    I have 3 alerts and when I click on it, I just go back to forums. My menu isn't working either. I'm on an android phone if that helps.

    1 less radio..not by choice

    Sorry to hear it. I had my stereos stolen twice. First time I had no alarm. The second time, they cut the battery cable. My point is, I know your pain. Hopefully the window isn't too expensive either

    1 less radio..not by choice

    If I remember correctly he had 2 versions the whack pack and the super whack pack. Never ordered a radio from him.

    Who are you on the air?

    I've heard a triple nickel and 555 central Texas on sideband quite a few times. I used 309 in the land of Lincoln but that is going to change when I get back on the air. Just moved to south east AL last weekend.

    Mobile antenna mount issue

    I've never had the headliner off such a new truck but aren't there roof supports that could help conceal the coax? Just an idea. I had pretty good luck with my old Wilson 1000 mag mount but I noticed an improvement when I mounted my 102 on the trunk lid. I know it's not the same thing but I...

    At first glance, it was the impression I had but after the second time I realized it was the host. The site was sure missed.

    Not that it would help all that much but isn't there an Amazon link that kicks some revenue your way if we buy through them? I saw it quite a while back but can't find it now.

    That's what I thought at first.

    "Buy Us a Beer" Button?

    Donates to the cause. I know the site helped me a lot and I even bought a couple radios off here. Well worth it in my case.

    texas star 500

    I wouldn't myself but that would essentially be a 667v. If you decide to run a one pill make sure to keep it low drive from the radio (10 watts max ssb and a low dead key 1.5 to 2 watts) Many bypass the driver stage on the 667 to just run the straight 4 pill. I wouldn't bother chasing after...

    At The End Of The Day, Its Still A CB.

    I would pay a little extra for something I could never get as a child but I would still have some common sense about the item. If the markup is 500% or more I won't touch it over the principal. QUOTE="rabbiporkchop, post: 614687, member: 2679"]Kinda like your lack of integrity when you say...

    The Chinese are getting into the re-capping game

    Mine was a small diy kit. Solder it up and add a power source. Doubles as a freq counter. It turned out that I had 3 dead 9 volt batteries. It does work. I'd rather have yours but I'll work with what I've got.

    I'll dig it out of the tote and open it up to see what I've got.

    The Chinese are getting into the re-capping game

    And my crystal tester from China is defective. $6 shipped through Amazon so hopefully they send me a good one or refund it. I don't think I would order electrolytic caps from China though. I glanced at Mike's eBay store for a kit to recap my grant LT. I didn't see one but I didn't search too...

    The Chinese are getting into the re-capping game

    I've ordered a couple diy kits from China and it usually takes 14 days.
