What would be a good mag mount to use with the wouxun dual band ht?

At age 25 I am seeing the decline of cb use from say even 10 years ago in my area. Its a real shame, there just isn't anyone local any more. I have been trying to convice my friends to get one but they show no interest at all. Of couse now everyone has cells phones and texting. And they don't...

PM sent Havent heard anything back. But can anyone recommend me a mic for this radio?

I have a Royce 619 base station that has been peaked and tuned. But the original mic for it has seen better days. I wanted some recommendations on a good mic for this old radio. Its time for a new one.

Where did you buy your 880 from? I have been thinking about getting this radio but have not heard of any one running it with an amp which is what I was thinking of doing. Just didn't know if any one had tried tuning it for an amp yet.

I have been thinking about getting an HT to carry out with me while snowmobiling or in the truck. I would like to be able to hook it up to a mag mount on the roof of my truck if thats possible. I would also like to program it with my computer. I am still new to the hobby and have...

Has any one seen the videos from custom cb radios on utube. He goes over the uniden 880. Just wondering what peoples thoughts were on the 880 after watching the new videos that have come out.

I am looking to upgrade my current cb that I’m running in my truck. It is a Maxon MCB-45 with the 120 channel mod. This radio does not light up anything besides the sceen to see what channel you’re on. And the knobs are really close together I like the looks and functions of the new Uniden...

Thank you for the advice. I checked it again and everything was good! The I made another contact, It feels really good to be on the air after all these years of dreaming about it. Thanks again.

Well I did hear myself when I set the scanner to the input freq. And I made my first ham radio contact just after that. I just have a few loose ends to tie up and I hope I am good to go. I'm gonna check the SWR again just to be sure it is ok. Thank you all for all the help and support...

Yes, ENC is visable on my display

I have the scanner set to 145.330 The output.

So, I got my set up all hooked up and checked my SWR which seemed to be ok. Now I'm trying to set up my radio which is a Yaesu FT-7800R. I have been working on setting up the radio for the local repeater. Which is W1FN repeater information on 145.330 in Hanover, New Hampshire by...

So I got a Diamond SX40C SWR meter for 144 to 470 MHz. I just put up the brackets on the house for the j-pole tonight. I also soldered a pl259 on one end of the LMR 400. I don't have the best soldering iron but I think I did a ok job on it. Hopefully this weekend I can put up the...
