    Larry's CB Shop - McKinney, TX

    I honestly don't know. You could call during business hours and ask him. 73, Brett

    Larry's CB Shop - McKinney, TX

    I have personally taken radios to Mike that he checked out and said... there's nothing wrong with it. No charge. I usually paid him for his time, and thanked him. I've also seen him tell guys they don't need this or that, because it just ruins your rig. He does good tune-ups and aligns them...

    Larry's CB Shop - McKinney, TX

    Mike is a great guy at Kilgore's. Very honest Christian man, and he knows his stuff. And 543_Dallas is right... I've seen a few Dallas techs that brought their repairs to him. 73, Brett

    small or "mini" beams?

    The other school of thought is, the higher up the antenna, the smaller it looks from the ground. Put a 5 element Yagi up at 60 feet, and it's tiny! :ROFLMAO: 73, Brett

    Who's the best?

    I always heard Gooserider made some great amps for AM. Not sure if he's still in business or not. Mike's shop in Mansfield carried them, and they were labeled Twister or Texas Twister IIRC. 73, Brett

    Who's Into SDR Receivers? (the little USB ones)

    I have ran the RSP-1 with an Android program, and it works pretty well. You need a windows based program to really get the best out of one. Many more features with Sdr Console, HDSDR, etc. 73, Brett

    Different and Odd Ball radios

    Pretty sure that's a gussied up 2000GTL in the picture. There was someone making stick on panels or decals and selling them on Ebay as best as I recall. Might have been Deb's decals? I think Klondike Mike did a video on one that he did. 73, Brett

    yaesu ft-891 and ATAS 120A

    My Comet mount took a dump while traveling down I35 the other day. Antenna hung on by the coax. I thought it was ok, but when I replaced the mount, it seems the coax is not attached in the connector. Will have to either try to fix it or buy another short length of coax. :( Sorry the Windows...

    ARRL is Loosing my Membership/If passed!

    I kind of like the rules as they are now. I know there are still Novices and Tech's that have been the same license class their whole life, but I think the current privileges give a Tech enough of a taste of HF to be an incentive to upgrade. Adding more base level privileges just discourages...

    Comet HD5M Bites The Dust!

    5024Yeah, the Yaesu ATAS 120A went a floppin' while I was traveling at 70 mph today on the freeway. Hey! What was that thump!?! No fun. At least the antenna and coax held until I could pull over. I am stuck with this type of mount due to this being a work car that is on a fleet/lease...

    So I came into a NOS of a Heil HC-5 Mic Cartridge

    I put an HC-5 in the stock President hand mic housing, and it didn't have enough gain to modulate the radio well. It sounded fine, but didn't have enough oomph to get full output from the rig. Might work better with an amplified mic housing, but I ended up just going with a stock mobile D104...
