    Easy Radio Mount

    The picture quality isn't the best but you get the idea. I got a scrap piece of aluminum 5 inches wide by 16 inches long and bent it into an L shape. It's pulled away from the seat so that you can see it better. After I took the picture I slid it back. The radio mount is bolted to the...

    When did Yaesu start making radios in China?

    This is a serious question. The last new amateur radio that I bought was 16 years ago. A couple of days back, I bought an FT-1900R. For the few that do not know, it is an inexpensive 2 meter radio that is half the size of the FT-2400 it replaced. It bought so I could use it in the car or...

    Tram 1180 2/70

    Is anyone using one of these here? There's not much about them on eham.net. I was given a brand new one by a neighbour whose husband passed away. It doesn't seem as robust as my old Larsen NMO. Steve :drool:

    Mic for a RCI-2950

    I don't know if this makes any difference, but it's an older RCI-2950. Is there a preferred replacement mic for this rig or it is better to get another stock mic? Thanks. Steve :biggrin:

    Dusted off my Ranger

    Hello folks. After about 10 years of sitting on the shelf, I cleaned up my old RCI-2950 and ordered a Wilson 1000. I couldn't find the original mic, so I had to order that too. The Ranger is going into a Ranger. I sure hope I can remember how the thing works. :w00t: Steve
