    Noise cancelling/power mic for Magnum 257HP?

    The stock mic is giving me problems so I was going to replace it with a N/C type. I read about the 2018 mic specific to the 257's but those seems to be hens teeth... Recommendations? Thanks

    Older Galaxy radio repair location suggestions

    Epilogue.... I went ahead and bought a new radio (SR-955HP) which I'm very impressed with but has one hell of a learning curve as I'm finding out... It took me a week to figure out how to get a 10khz slide to work without a switch. I kept the 99 & 77. I found a tech that is willing to look at...

    Older Galaxy radio repair location suggestions

    Testing equipment questions...

    I'm kind of fed up looking for decent techs to ship my radios too. The more I educate myself the more I realize that all I seem to find here locally are of the 'golden screwdriver types'. So , I choose the path of doing it myself. If it is going to be messed up I'll have no one to blame but...

    Have you purchased ham gear because of this site? What was it?

    If I had the $1200 I would plunk it down on the IC-7000 I have been drooling over for months. Maybe come tax season I will unload a few amps and a radio and finally take the plunge to the 'other side'.

    Have you purchased ham gear because of this site? What was it?

    From this board, (and it's earlier incarnations) I have picked up some good used gear. Also not having and kind of HROs within a couple hours drive from here the reviews written, video or otherwise are about as close to touchy feeley as I can get to most equipment.

    Close call at work Monday night.

    A few of the generators we see are wound to 13.8 to feed in prior to the transformers. We were at a site to t/s some control issues and we needed to get to the CTs. Well, newbie helper started taking the covers off and was immediately tackled by a few guys. After an explanation of what residual...
