    Radio Shack HTX-10 Review

    Radio Shack HTX-10 I have had this radio for about 10 years, alway mobile with a hamstick antenna. I have made a few SSB DX contacts, but with a mobile antenna and only 25 watts I hear many operators calling CQ that cannot hear me. Pros: Low price. This is one of only a handful of...
