    Headphones

    I have a pair of QC15 that I use with my home entertainment system, and a pair of OE2 that I use in the radio room. They are lightweight, comfortable and do an excellent job of canceling out ambient noise.

    2m/70cm Radio Opinions Wanted.

    I've been running a 2820H as a base for about a year now and (although I haven't explored all of its features) quite satisfied with the performance. I took an old RJ45 network cable and made a patch cord for my Heil mic. The cable is flexible enough that I can attach the faceplate without a...

    ICOM IC-7000 programming cable help

    The cable offered in those listings by suntekstore for $8.99 w/free shipping is the one I purchased and used prior to getting a RigBlaster Pro. It worked like a charm with no problems at all. Shipping took about 2 weeks, but I knew that prior to purchase so it wasn't a big deal to me.

    Ebay sure is entertaining!

    If you don't know why this amp is worth $200+ then you must not have read the description: <proof> 'i know a lot of power comes out of these units only because , sometimes he would put a floecent tube up to the truck antenna and key up , and it would light up !!!' An amp that powerful...

    still havent recievd my radio?

    No matter what carrier you use always send your package with delivery confirmation and signature required. It only cost a couple of bucks and is well worth it. Also insist that the party you're dealing with uses the same method. That way if there is a problem with the package arriving at its...

    CB Break Meter door prize poll

    Let me guess...he replaced it with a Dosy and everything has been hunkydory since. :whistle: Daiwa CN101L - $95 Ameritron AWM20 $90 Either of the above meters come in below your $110 street price and IMO more reliable than a Dosy. No they don't have an audio monitoring feature, but if...

    TRUE PEAK METERS

    I was also quite happy with the performance of the Palstar meter I once owned. Another good choice (although you'd have to buy used) is the Yaesu YS-60. It seems to get excellent reviews. I use the YS-500 on my VHF/UHF radio and quite pleased with the build quality and performance.

    Icom IC-7000 HiFi

    When I was running my audio input through the mic jack I installed the cap inside the mic plug. I soldered one lead to the pin and the other lead to the audio wire. Prior to soldering I slid a piece of shrink tube onto the wire (large enough to go over the cap), then slid it down over the...

    Any luck with the resistor swap?

    Icom IC-7000 HiFi

    Really? I didn't observe the audio on a SA, but all on the air reports stated that my audio sounded a lot better running through the ACC plug versus the mic jack. I haven't tried it on my 756 Pro II. I have the audio for it running through a rigblaster pro. Morse - When you view the link to...

    They're gonna have to learn how to write code and program so they can change the tables in the software. :lol:

    Icom IC-7000 HiFi

    Get a DIN plug and run your audio into the radio through the ACC plug on the back. ;) Use these settings as a starting point and you'll have some great audio... http://heilsound.com/amateur/dspsettings/all_icom.php
