I hope you used Di-electric grease when you installed it for added protection. I don't have a paypal account or I would have bought them also but my double female & double male worked out and I had them in stock already. Enjoy !

The mobile and base seem to be rocking today but for some reason I couldn't connect. But had enough on my plate so didn't worry about it much.Better days coming !

You know what they say about Murphy's Law ( If it can go wrong it will ). That's why I went with Solid connections. I come from the maintenance field and always preached Murphy's Law ! LOL

These are available out in the wild or you can use a double male & double female like I did to solve the problem.

Yeah I was having some Short skip this morning (southern east coast) but the plate was full so I listened for a bit. Better days coming !

I flipped the base and mobile on a few times being nosy and heard some skip that might have been workable but my Grandsons graduation party was the name of the game today. Tomorrow is purchase oil change supplies for my little Cobalt. The heat wave and the Canadian wild fire smoke has been a...

Check around on the internet for videos and there is a simple mod for that UV5R to make it work on GMRS channels also. It's all in how you turn it on so it doesn't require spending more time and money. If you can't find the video let me know because I know I have it bookmarked somewhere on my...

Yeah I ran 1 of my Q6 Pros as a base yesterday and it was barking out on 37 lsb a good portion of the day and even 10 PM when I shut her down. Had too much going on to try to talk but sometimes it's nice to hear a quality radio doing it's thing !

It's hard to think about talking on the radio when everything hurts as you are laying in bed with the...

Well you guys would have had a good laugh today seeing my old fumble fingers re-wire my old Turner Plus 3 mic but I Got Er Done. And now comes the learning curve. Looks like I have to turn the mic gain back on the radio but it sounded pretty good on my test radio in the other room. Of coarse...

Thanks for the link and it will be a rainy day project when the old joints are limiting my activity !

With a Knic Knac Patty Wac the DX Gods threw this old Dog a Bone! ( Once from the Base & the last from the Mobile ) Then this Old Dog went rolling Home. ( Happy ) Both from SE coast. It's been a while !
