Whew.... Slightly rough crowd in here...

Tokin, I looked into the cloning grommets, but everybody has a min order size of 25 or so... I'll do some scalpel work with the insulation foam and replicate your example. Should work fine ;) Some switches arrived from Amazon this afternoon... and I discovered that the one I got for switching...

Eldorado, that just prompted my memory... I've got a 2' piece of closed cell foam rubber pipe insulation that's just about the right thickness, about 5/8" thick. Will work perfectly! And to think I was about to throw it away five years ago when I finished the project and had a tiny bit left...

Tokin, thanks for your insights. I'm sure I could find a suitable & similar mounting medium for the eletret mic that's now in the mail. Would a smoke shop in a non-recreational / non-medicinal state have cloning frames available? ~ I"ll guess probably not, but that stuff you're using looks...

I read the .pdf, maybe not too thoroughly, but didn't see anything about a date for implementation if they get it approved. Any input? Interested as I'm taking the Technician Class today, and will be taking the General Class at the end of Sep. I'm probably good to go, but curious.

Good afternoon, folks. Brand-new guy here, Technician Class exam this afternoon. I've got a similar question about the unamplified version of the D-104, which I purchased about 8 years ago when I got my FT 857D (I was pretty slow about getting started ;) I'd LIKE to use the TUG 8/D-104 for...

Technician Class test today. Very ready. Yeasu 857D
