I just found the long version Today in a friends shed from his estate. He became a SK in March of 2023 & a friend & I are trying to sell his gear for his wife. It's in very good condition with the heavy duty spring attached to the base of the antenna. I don't know what we will do with it but...

I don't know what version they had but they said they did not like them so they returned them. They both said they were Over prices & a bunch of Hype but they did not say in what ways? I respect their opinions so I decided I would not buy one myself. I don't need another HT anyway since I only...

I have 154,000 miles on my 2007 RAM 1500 Quad Cab with the HEMI. I just replaced had the entire rearend rebuilt & it cost me $3500 but other than a water pump & some AC work it's the only major issue since I purchased it New in 2007. The motor & transmission are both strong so I'm planning to...

I much Prefer Winter here in Florida but we have ZERO control over the weather at any time so I just accept whatever we get. The Heat Index has been well over 100 Degrees for over a week here in North Florida & it's not even getting started yet. It will get worse but we have a great AC in our...

I recently Sold TWO of these to a close friend for just $75 since they were given to me by a SK's wife & I would never have used them.

So far everyone I know who purchased one sent them back? Not one of them liked the radio & each one said it's just a Baofeng in hiding & JUNK. I think I'm going to PASS & save myself the money & time of returning it.

My ICOM 7700 will do PSK & RTTY without a computer but it never will as long as I own it. I own 45 Astatic D-104 desk microphones,7 HEIL studio microphones,2 headsets,an EV RE20 & a SHURE Super 55 so it's obvious that I like microphones & they are made for talking or performing & I do both with...

That map shows lots of contacts but if you check the mode 99.9% are the useless FT8 Crap. {:>(

My neighbor has a 751A & he refuses to get rid of it. He doesn't use it very often because he has an ICOM 7800, ICOM 7300,KX3,& several other radios but he swears that the 751A is one of the Best HF transceivers he has ever owned. I know that it sounds great with the ICOM SM-8 desk microphone on...

I am attempting to sell a bunch of radios from a friends estate & his Yaesu FT-900 will not receive or transmit. It comes on but does nothing else. I saw a post online about this same issue but it says something about a diode that fails that can cause this but they make no mention of what diode...

But was it actually paid for?

I made the same reply. Cal does great work for a very fair price.

Call Cal at hamrepair.com in Texas. He's a great tech & he has great repair rates. He will also give you a quote before he does any repairs if you like & if you don't want to spend the money he will return it as is. He has done many repairs for myself & local friends.

I did before I stopped using the band completely. If I want to run power I have 1200 watts on HF & 1100 watts on 6 meters. {:>)

I had a 17B2 & the support arms for the boom broke in 6 months. I went back to my 215WB that is 30 years old & it's never failed me & I believe it's the Best 2 meter beam that Cushcraft ever built. I also had a couple of 13B2 beams & they all had issues with water in the Black matchbox & the SWR...

Remember that it's a Cheap meter so don't expect it to perform like a quality SWR Wattmeter. I use them for target practice at the Gun Range & they work great for that. For about the same money you can buy a Diamond that is a far better meter. I have had a lot of the Dosy meters & all were very...

I worked someone on 50.400 AM several days ago & it was the First AM contact on my ICOM 7700 & they said it sounded great as well.
