I have always wanted to work the satalittes but, haven't gotten around to it yet. I have downloaded a tracking program on my PDA called Pocket Sat+ and once I get my portable radio package put together, I am going to by one of those Arrow Sat. antennas. I will help to contribute as things progress

Very well said CWM but, I do not knock the CBer's. I started there and feel everything has it's place. Have I or do I ever talk on 1-40AM now? Hell no. Don't like it,don't talk on it and certainly don't listen. Well maybe 19 while traveling but, that channel is tough to listen to with all the...

They are very good cases but, I was looking for something that wheeled around and was fairly weather proof. The case also has a carry handle on top and large legs on the bottom to keep it off the ground. The top of the case can stay closed in inclement weather and can open as you see to allow...

I searched online and found a place which wasn't the cheapest place but, was in the US. The name of the place is called... Multi Service Corporation 8650 College Blvd. Overland Park, KS 66210 I think it goes by Distribution Center USA Cost is around $80.00 Search for GameKeeper, Game...

I will have a 18Ah battery also, placed behind the speaker with a Whattsup meter to obseve current draw along with battery life. There are two batteries already installed in the 897. I have a spare 897 battery which I most likely won't need because I will be able to charge the internal batteries...

The case you are most likely refering to is a Pelican case. The one I am using has wheels and an extendable handle like a suitcase. Here are a couple of pictures. I am trying to figure out the right placement so these items are just placed on here for now. If you would like to see where I got...

I'm in the process of putting together a Transportable radio package containing my FT897D,Rig Runner 4005C, West Mountain Plug and Play interface, IC SP-10 speaker and 18Ah battery with the Whatts up meter. The FT897D also has the two internal batteries and the LDG 897 meter. All this will be...

I would go with the 2970 or find yourself a nice Lincoln series radio.

Hey Wayne, good luck yourself. It really sucks having all this radio and not using it to it's potential. I will be testing on the 6th of Dec. How about you?

I try to keep a clean shack but, what you don't see is the dog crate. Makes keeping the place that much harder to clean. She is only a puppy but, we are working on keeping her more in the house area than just in the radio room at night or during the day. The happiest day is when we will not have...

I will be upgrading in December and will be getting my amp as a present to myself for upgrading.

There is a book called "Passport to World Band Radio" that is great for helping to locate SWL stations all over the world. It list them in order, best time of year to find them, what shows will be playing. To much info to list. The new 2008 book is out now. You will enjoy this book very much and...

I know what you mean about stretching across the table. My FT902DM Station was rather large and I was still missing the transverter. It weighed a whopping 142lbs. Man I miss that station

Man, sounds nice. Will you post pics when it's complete. Reminds me of when I had my mint FT902DM and all the other pieces, external VFO, speaker phone patch, monitor scope and antenna tuner. all mint like new. Sorry I sold that thing. All I needed was the 2 meter and 6 meter transverters and it...

I know. $116.00 each for the batteries and another $78 for the charger. Then if you want to be able to plug it into the wall to charge instead of the cig lighter, there goes another chunk of money.

I thought you needed the charger for that. It says it can't be charged off the power cord. How did you make it.

Well, as luck would have it, my new 897D came in today while I was at work. Makes for a long day. Looking forward to using it on mountain topping and camping trips. I will be using my BuddiStick or ATAS 100 antennas. I need to pick up a couple of batteries but, man they are expensive, PLUS you...
