    Now this is odd!!!

    Take a look at the microcontroller on the rear of the PCB. Is it a genuine Atmel? Or some other thing that has the part number sanded off or remarked? There are many fakes now that use the APT32F172K8T6, which will not run the code for the Atmel. The code that runs is forked garbage and these...

    DX2517 EDP690010Z Low RF Power First Time Posting. Really need some HELP,INPUT

    I offered him some tested (in a radio) CB-20W's. Apparently, Zelle is not in his vocabulary, but he didn't bother to respond.

    142 low transmit

    Driver gain seems low. Typically higher than final when good.

    LesComm Radios

    Was there a judgement? On another note, I recently had to interact with him, when a customer's radio ended up here, with a LesComm channel kit in it. It was in a baggie inside the radio. After much testing and troubleshooting, I determined, that he screwed up the programming of the...

    You need real parts. Do you have a source? If not, I do.

    I highly doubt, those fakes came from RF Parts, like not a chance. I buy from RF Parts, because I KNOW, I won't be getting fakes. I won't buy from ePay, Scamazon, Aliscamma etc. If it comes from China, 99.99999% sure it is fake.

    As cable guy said, 2312 is fake. 2166 appears legit.

    What is the RF PO in FM? What are you measuring power with? Also, peak Atlas will not tell you a device is a fake. I generally trust RF Parts, but I don't know what they are selling these days, so I just checked. The do NOT have 2SC2312, but are subbing MRF475, which does not have the same Po as...

    New version Icom IC-7300 MK2

    The current models don't, because they are not necessary. The older models did. Again, the numbers become pointless after a point. The UI of the Yaesu radios is enough for me, to not care about them. If you ever have after sales support needs, good luck with them.

    New version Icom IC-7300 MK2

    IC-7300 is an entry level radio. I said the higher end radios from Icom, have roofing filters. Rob explained to me why the numbers after a point, are pointless, which makes perfect sense to me. The horrific user interface, and inept customer service/tech support from Yaesu, is enough to keep...

    New version Icom IC-7300 MK2

    The higher end Icom direct sampled SDR's, incorporate roofing filters to deal with signal overload. You should also ask Rob Sherwood, if he would use a Yaesu in his own station. I already know the answer to that.
