Thanks! I'm going to go with the TS 350.

Copy that. I think I'll take the Texas Star 350. :D

A new TNT 350HD on the xforce website runs $280. Would that be worth it over the $175 for the Texas Star 350hdv?

If I had a guy willing to sell me a "mint" Texas Star 350 HDV for $175, is that a good deal? Or should I still go for the TNT T250?

What kind of deadkey are you putting into the T250? And, what kind of numbers are you getting out of it?

I originally posted this I think in the wrong place under the ham section. My bad. So I'm looking for a small amp to hook up on my 11m base, around the 100-200 watt area. I'll be driving it with a stock (unmolested) Uniden 980SSB, and I'd like to have the ability to do SSB, although I'll be...

So I'm looking for a small amp to hook up on my 11m base, around the 100-200 watt area. I'll be driving it with a stock (unmolested) Uniden 980SSB, and I'd like to have the ability to do SSB, although I'll be using it for AM as well. Unless I'm bad off, I've narrowed down to the following...

Yes, that is one thing I still need to figure out. Eventually I plan on running a conduit through the garage wall about 6-8' to the right of that door on the right. That will eventually be where the feed lines come into the garage. But right now, I'm not sure how to keep the feedline up and...

So I've still got to take it all back down, glue it all together, paint it, and then bracket it to the roof as well. However, it's up, and it works. SWR is about 1.1 on ch1 and 1.25 on ch40. There's a 5' steel fence post drove into the ground about 1-1/2' that's the anchor point, where the...

Any idea how this vertical dipole plan might actually work? http://www.instructables.com/id/Simple-CB-base-station-antenna/ I'm considering trying to build one of these this weekend for the CB base station. Does anyone have any opinions? I'm assuming if I only go 20 feet tall, that should...

Please enlighten me. What do you mean?

So I was thinking bury the first section. Then add the second section on top. Then get on the roof and add the third section (with antenna attached) to that. I wasn't thinking of putting it all together and THEN erecting it. As for power, the nearest power lines are approximately 60-80 feet...

Alright all. Tell me if this will work. I take a 1.315-in x 126-in Gray 17-Gauge Galvanized Steel Chain-Link Fence Top Rail (from Lowe's) and bury it a foot or two into the ground. This is 10.5' in length, minus what is buried into the ground, so say to the top is 8.5' off the ground. I add...

So I'm contemplating setting up a base station in my garage. CB for now, but I'd like to get my Ham ticket soon. But 11m is all I'm worried about right now. I have some locals about 10-15 miles away I would like to be able to reach. But the only experience I have is with installing mobiles. I...
