Honestly, I bought this place partially because I knew I wouldn't waste 10's of thousands of dollars on antennas for a silly hobby. The covenants here are 5 pages long and 3 pages are all about construction. I don't really want my neighborhood to look like trash anyways, and buying out of town...

That is odd, you said the one you sent me had been repaired once. Maybe you had 3, and I should have said "mine" not "yours"?

Is that who worked on your 2995?

All of this with a remote tuner?

If they haven't ran you out, I seriously question that your community is sane.

If you find one, you let me know

I could easily hide or place a 3' antenna on a vehicle. I'm not looking to waste the opportunity on a uhf antenna or something.

It appears that my HOA is going to inadvertently allow antennas up to 36" in diameter, but states no "towers." I don't like the idea of wire antennas because I'm sure they will change the covenants after they figured out they messed up. I'm certain that any replacement antennas would be...

I feel like the m flares killed radio for a bit anyways, but it could just be me.

VR18 is maxed out at 11.5 volts on usb. I wired up a 636L with the same results.

I don't have one. The audio sounds fine, there just isn't much rf out unless the mic gain is full right.

That seems very counterintuitive. Doesn't too much mic output cause one to have to decrease mic gain? The only thing I could find that looked off was a resistor feeding vr18 had obviously been messed with. I can't even get near spec voltage at TP8. This probably isn't going to be good

This 2995 seems to work ok except the mic gain needs to be on 10 with an xtreme 2018 mic. Any idea what might cause this, or where to start looking?

A general license gives one privileges that can easily allow for playing radio any hour of any day of any year of any solar cycle. That is pretty amazing, as it does kinda suck waiting for 11m conditions. Even ft8 is amusing for a while, especially if you live in a less common state. While I...

It doesn't matter how you like to play radio, someone has figured out how to take your money. Does it have a fan to circulate air to cool it?

It's pretty cool. How are you planning to use it?

Just got 702 Jamaica, my first contact outside of the US or Canada this cycle. Maybe it is time to program a memory bank of dx frequencies.

The best I can explain it is like this Ham radio is like walking through a giant office building. Everyone acts similarly, dresses similarly, and talks similarly. It can be difficult to know what kind of people you are talking to. 11m is more like walking down the street. They are actually...

I'm just not a huge fan of ham hf. The randomness is kinda boring because you never know what to expect. I can hop on 27.385 and know exactly what I'm going to find and how I'm going to operate. I know I'm probably going to find some old timers on .355 and .365. 27.400 is where I find good...
