Well Radio Friends, after being under the Weather last week, finally got the time tonight to set up the new base station!! Checked the Swr using the built-in meter and it came up 1.0 on channel 1& 1.1 on channel 40,so I was happy with that,it's nice having everything in one Base unit so to speak!! Had to get a bigger desk for the radio,found a used one in good condition at our local Centerpeace( kinda like a local goodwill store) for only $40 bucks........Now all I need is for the Solar Cycle to get it's act together so I can get some good station's and talk to some folks!! Hope you all have a Happy & Blessed upcoming Easter from my Family to yours!!!!
Looks good my friend and hopefully we'll hear you on the air as the cycle gets going! As slow said, you'll be needing more surface area before you know it.
Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
