    IC-756 PRO II

    Thanks for the reply. I have not decided on an antenna. I like to read and gain some knowledge about different antennas. I will most likely use the Cobra Ultralite until spring. I have an old wire antenna and considering using that for 6 meters. I seem to be having trouble getting the Rigblaster...

    IC-756 PRO II

    Well, I finally got the PS125 power supply and SP23 external speaker in and put them in line. Added my Rigblaster Pro last night and got the Rig control working. Still trying to get all the digital connections hooked to my Laptop. I am also waiting on my Heil Quiet Set Headset with the dual...

    IC-756 PRO II

    I am using a IMAX 2000 for 10M and a Cobra Ultralite wire antenna for the rest. I have a PS 125 and SP 23 coming this week to finish it off. I run a Heil PR 20 with shock mount and Boom. I am playing with the radio now and love it.

    how often do you use the 10 meter channels on your export ?

    When 10 meters is open, it is a great band but, it has not been open in awhile. About a month or so ago, it opened for about a week and I made about 45-50 contacts in the US. Now all I do is check into the weekly 10 meter net here locally.

    Convince me to keep my HR2600

    That's funny. That's about what I got into my radio. You won't be sorry. I know you can get a new radio for that but, you will be extremely happy with that radio.

    Convince me to keep my HR2600

    The radio when properly tuned will be rock solid on frequency unlike some other radios that drift. When Doc tunes these radios he tunes them as if they were his own personnel radio. He will unlock the clarifier, do the AM power, he will put the 2510 chip in it and you will have 10-11 and 12...

    A question about antennas

    If your mind is really set on a Super Scanner, you can try talking to this guy. It seems to be used and slightly damaged but, fixable maybe. By the way, I don't believe in promoting other sites, just trying to help a brother out...

    In-line SWR/watt meter

    I have a Autek WM-1 meter and love it. There is one for sale on QTH.com now for $100.00. I think I may have paid less for mine, can't remember. Anyway it takes a 12 power supply also to run. Good luck with what ever you decide to do.

    swiss operation

    If he contacts ARRL, they should be able to help your friend out. If not he will have to find a club or maybe if he knows someone that is a HAM already, they could ask someone on the radio that lives in Switzerland.

    LDG autotuner

    I use the Z 100 autotuner with my 706MKIIG and it does a great job. I have been wanting to get the AT 180 to match with my 706 but, decided that the radio will go into the car and the LDG will work great. I have been very happy with the performance of the tuner. As Audioshockwav has stated, it...

    Buddistick

    Well, to further my review. I have owned it now for about 1-1/2 months and used an antenna analyzer to set the taps and got perfect SWR on all bands. I also use the LDG Z-100 tuner to finish it off. This antenna is great. Quick set up, good quality and great performance. I would not leave home...
