Checked a few minutes ago 10:15 PM still hear something . 38 lsb

Sounds good you had some luck because I was surprised how much activity I was hearing today. I shouted out a little but my neighbor was home all day and never went anywhere so I didn't really bear down on my system and I had piles of work waiting anyway. Never a shortage of things to do when...

Yesterday I turned on the DX2547 and could only hear activity on 40 lsb and that was basically 1 guy speaking. But that surprised me because usually for me 40 lsb is dead for me. Briefly turned on the mobile in my travel and nothing. 8:45 this morning and 38 lsb is sounding off.

Sometimes you have to laugh ! The solar site said Fair for today like yesterday and both day was worthless. But I've seen days it said poor and they actually pretty active. I'm learning to take it all with a grain of salt. I didn't hear Squat today. LOL

I haven't heard a peep out of 35 USB all day yet ! PS Went for a ride in the car & heard nothing even on the hill top. OH WELL

I've been hearing some skip lately in the mobile but have been on the go and couldn't honestly pursue it. Tomorrow I'll have the Galaxy 2547 tuned to 35 USB and keep my ears on. Good Luck to everyone PS they are talking Morning rain for around here.

I tend to agree with you about a little extra power. I like the sound of the Q6 pro but think it might not have the guts to operate in my area running on it's own steam.Only a little more experimenting might prove it. Like they say Nothing Ventured Nothing Gained !

Things are weird. Worked all day mowing and trimming because it's suppose to rain again and I was in bad need of a mowing. The solar site said poor conditions today but when the work was done I decided to run to town for a sandwich and a cappuccino. The Q6 Pro was busy on both 37 & 38 LSB but...

Tis the season for Pot Luck ! When I get some jobs finished I'll ride up to the hunting camp ( high on the mountain top ) and give it a try and if I get real ambitious I could drag up my spare Star Duster and spend a couple days. But like always the plate is full so I'm probably just teasing...

I did the steps to unlock GMRS radio on mine but haven't programed the channels in yet because I'm afraid of making a mistake and not knowing how to reverse it. I'll get there someday when I have time.

Well the Old Bones were slow moving this morning but when I finally got back upstairs this morning to get cleaned up and dressed to address the day I couldn't help but slide into the radio room. Turned on the Q6 Pro and could here Florida on 38 lsb but couldn't connect, so tried the Uniden 980...

The solar site said poor for 10-12 meters today but as I traveled I heard a bunch of activity but seems as if I had better luck making contacts with my regular 11 meter radios running a KL-200P or KL-203P as compared to my Q6 Pro running raw power. Beginning to think in this mountainous area I...

Yeah the solar site said fair for the day but I actually heard more chatter thru out the day today than I have in a while. Too busy to set at the radio but was nice to hear it sounding off when I passed by for a change.

Don't feel alone buddy. The solar site said Good for today but you couldn't tell it on my radio. Thank God spring has got me hopping along with other matters !
