I understand that solar has an FCC Part B exemption. Is that correct?

Thanks for the response and sorry for the confusion, I have a rig in my truck, ICOM 7100 and a Tarheel screwdriver antenna. What I was asking about is when I travel and want to scan the bands from the hotel room. Just want to make sure I have enough wire with me and which connector on the...

Here they are: 1. using a portable radio receiver, is it better to use an antenna extension that clips on to the mast or one that attaches to the external antenna jack? 2. I know that longer and higher is better but if limited to inside what would be considered acceptable for performance vs...

Its fun to play with. before you know it you will have tested every antenna in the house .. :)

My understanding from the users guides I have read is that any time you change frequencies, you set the new range and run the cal. IMHO unless you use the device constantly at a bench always using the same frequency, it is good practice to check the cal every time you use. I am not always...

Just remember you need to re-calibrate every time you use it. Re-cal is simple just an added step. There is also a facebook group and an online forum. Lots of good info available.

My ortho always told me that the healing can take up to a year. When the scar color matches the skin around it then you know the healing is done. Good luck and keep working it. the more you can stretch it now the better.

I broke both of mine back in 1975. Finally got to the point where they were both hurting all the time (2017). Dr said we could do the replacement and if by chance that didn't work they would fuse them. Either way would take out the pain. I'm glad the "wally world" joints are working great...

I've had both ankles replaced in the last 4 years. One of the best things ever, even better then when I had a knee done. They have several types they can use depending on your physiology.

looks good. the second and 3rd day after are the worse for pain in my case. Make sure you can do the PT when they say and even though it may hurt do what they want but don't do any harm to the joint. Best way I found to come down stairs was on my behind. :)

I use the high speed aircraft bearing grease.. a little overkill but I never have problems!! LOL

Make sure you get the knee with the zerk fitting. Make the 12 month maintenance much easier!!!

I understand that the Fed dollar that you can collect on top of your unemployment came with a catch. The state now sends the data to the feds to cross check the SSN. This is exposing a lot of "stolen" SSN's that the state would not know. Hopefully, but probably not, this will catch a lot of...

last resort is using a heavy duty lip mount on the hatch or door. That depends on which antenna you are placing. I know they say that the Tarhill II can be mounted this way with no issues...

Where's the mask?? LOL
