    Now for something completely different. Converting a CB to 10/12 meters

    I have a Grant XL I wouldn't mind doing this with. Can you tell me what all is involved? I have two rigs, one with and one without a Digiscan. 73, Brett

    Low Clearance Antenna Suggestions?

    Short antennas are such a compromise, but you have to do what you have to do! I have ran a K30, Lil' Will, and 3 foot Firestick in the past. I had the best luck with a Lil' Will, but from what I understand, the newer ones aren't made nearly as well. The K30 was the same size, but bandwidth...

    Great Movie

    I have to wonder if the next Mob movie will be about this whole basketball fiasco. You guys are talking great movies, I'll tell you the absolute worst one that I recently watched... Bad Boys, Ride or Die. Wow was it bad!

    What are your thoughts on the VHQ Hexbeam

    I don't know who makes the best one, all I know is, they work really well. I have heard so many IC-7300 and hex beam combos on the air that I joke that the dealers must have all ran a super deal on them.

    2 meter mobile antenna recommendations

    I ran a Comet SBB-7 when I first got my ticket. Dual band 2m/440, and it worked really well. But, the plastic cover coils eventually died, and I replaced it with a shorter dual band SBB-5 with the metal coil in it. Very similar to a Larsen 2/70 base load with metal coil, but I prefer the...

    Warning about direct message sales

    Yeah, I had one sent to me regarding the Magnum knob I was looking for. I saw he was a brand new member and ignored it. Thanks for the reminder, Jeff!

    Magnum 257HP power knob?

    Interesting! I have a friend that does 3d printing, but you have to have the parameters to tell it what to do. With this stuff, you let your fingers do the walking! (I'm so old, I remember the Yellow Pages). Thanks for the link!

    Magnum 257HP power knob?

    I heard back from Chris, and he said he does have spare parts, but only uses them for repairs on radios that he is fixing.

    Magnum 257HP power knob?

    Thanks Undertaker, I shot them an email. Hope they have the part... it's a great little rig but looks a little naked without the knob. :)

    Magnum 257HP power knob?

    Hi all, I am looking for the RF output power knob for a Magnum 257HP. It's the small inner one on the top right of the rig. Kind of a rubbery finish to it, mine split in the middle and then I lost the pieces! Anyone have a source?
