    Home Elecraft K4D Noise Reduction compared to BHI NR module

    I Sold the Yaes Sold the FT-920 & replaced it with an ICOM 775DSP. I am using Dual ICOM SP-20 external speakers which both have the PHITS speaker kits installed & the speakers are running thru the ClearSpeech Base Module. The sound is Amazing & unlike any I have ever heard. The DSP units are a...

    I think I just purchased the last Ham radio I will likely purchase!

    I Rarely use my most expensive Amateur Radio since purchasing an ICOM 775DSP. My ICOM 7610 & ICOM 9100 just sit quietly. If the 775DSP had 6 meters I would sell the 7610. The 775DSP hears what the 7610 cannot hear. It's not what they cost but what they do on the airways so enjoy whatever pleases...

    Home Radioddity HF-010 Portable Antenna Review

    I will never trust Radioddity for any purchase. It cost me $50 to return a XIEGU X6100 that never worked. They never offered to repair it or replace it just had me pay to return their Defective product. That's Pathetic customer service & that's who you are dealing with from a 1st hand...

    Barkett electronics acquired by Trucks CB

    Tubes Plus I believe is also his business. I also will not be giving out his email or phone information. Once he is ready for business, he will release contact information for all. I believe him to be trustworthy & a very good technician as well & he will sell the items at a fair market price &...

    Antenna Selector

    My amplifier has (4) antenna ports so not extra switches are required. All of the radios have (2) antenna ports as well if I wanted to go that route, but I let the amplifier take care of it & it switches between up to (4) antennas & (2) radios automatically.

    Alan Price (FIXER) has the Browning Parts for sure. He & I have had several discussions on the phone about it. He's building a New warehouse & shop so it's a work in progress. I'm not sure about the other radio parts since all we discussed was Browning Parts & he for sure has those.

    Favorite QRP rigs

    Use a good grade of Copper Braid in place of the string with the Dixie Cups for better connectivity. LOL {:>)

    Icom inflatable Tower

    I have another name for April Fools Day but it offends so many these days & I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. I would not want to offend them since they are very sensitive & everyone is against them. I'm a BIG fan of ICOM for the most part even if they totally Lack Support for anything not...

    Icom inflatable Tower

    Better off with a Screwdriver antenna with some radials & they can be used with Legal Limit with many models. They don't attract much attention at ground level & they work very well.

    Antron 99 mounted off the side of my tower?

    Had my Antron 99 mounted at 35' for over 15 years & I took it down to put up a Cushcraft R5 for 10-20 meters. I mounted the Antron on my test pipe at just 3' & it talks & hears far better than it did at 35'? I was going to purchase another 35' mast pipe & put it back higher but I'm going to just...

    Browning Mark 4A refresh parts kit someday, maybe.

    I would not want the job of getting it organized either, but I think Alan is looking forward to the challenge. Happy that it's still available so Birds & others may be saved from the landfills.

    Why I'm not a prepper

    Prep all you like we will all end up DEAD. I'm not wasting time, effort, or money on what's still coming. No stress here because death is a natural thing for all living things.
