It appears that all of the repeaters have a 127.3 tone just FYI.

I have No Idea on the 11 meter band but for Amateur Radio there are some good repeaters on 2 meters. 146.760, 147.000, 146.700, 146.670, are the best of the area. I don't have the tones right off hand, but they are available online. I live about 30 miles from each of those machines, but I can...

My neighbor & Best friend recently purchased a New Elecraft 500 watt & 1500 watt amplifier & both of them operate 10 meters right out of the box? I thought that provision was removed several years ago by the FCC? I have another friend with a New Acom & it needed no modifications either? Pretty...

No big deal. It's just Stuff & all is good. Insurance paid in One Day of me filing the claim & they paid Retail Prices for everything lost in my shack & inside & outside of our home. We did very well & the best part is Nobody was injured.

Rural Small Town USA. We are the 1st home outside of the city limits so our privacy fence serves as the city limits sign is what I always say. You could not give me a home in a Big city for FREE.

It was slightly Overcast here & it had not rained in over an hour. The nearest rain was over 35 miles to my south. We had one lightning strike which was what hit our home or near our home & not another one the remainder of the day or night. It's very difficult to operate with the antennas &...

My dad had a Johnson 100 6 Channel CB in his car & he allowed me to use it. It was in 1965 before my 5th birthday. I had a couple of local friends that were Ham Operators & they convinced me to get into Ham Radio which I did in March of 1994. Radio is in my blood & I am usually chasing DX on...

Better option is buying a higher output amplifier. Less money & less issues in the long run. How much is a Half S Unit worth?

My neighbor & Best friend has a 5100 that was in his mobile & the screen washed out completely so you can't read anything on it. He hated the screen before & now it's useless. I have had my 4100 in my pickup for several years with zero issues with anything with it including the display. It's a...

Last I recall it was 3kc wide on Phone in the USA. It's why technically if you are a Technician Class that you are actually pushing the limits if you operate say,28.300.00 because half of your transmitted signal would be Out of your authorized Band at 28.298.500 & the same for General Class or...

I could not see the original pictures when I posted my reply long ago. The one in the side of the rotor does look a lot like my YAESU G-800DXA rotor plug.

Maybe because of bandwidth limits on Amateur Radio? The Kenwood 940 & 950 had lots of mods that really make them Wide but those doing so did not make any friends on the air being 5kc's or even wider on transmit. I believe many of the new SDR's will also get Very wide but again you will make...

I have been running an ICOM 4100a for several years in my pickup along with my ICOM 7000. Both perform very well & they are pretty simple to operate. I used an RT Systems cable to program the 4100a so it was very easy. I always run it on High Power since we have few repeaters here locally.

I use a Quality Studio Microphone that does not pick up most background noises. The HEIL FIN with my ICOM 7610, Electro Voice RE 320 with my ICOM 9100, HEIL PR20 on many radios, & HEIL iCM on my older ICOM radios are very very good at cancelling the background noises.

I am now using the ClearSpeech DSP module with my YAESU FT-920 as a backup radio & it really helps it. I don't believe the AF DSP in the 920 is up to what the IF DSP is in the ICOM radios, so the external DSP makes a bigger difference on the received signals. I own the same Dual Inline unit...

I have already had a reply from a user on a YouTube video & he emailed me the manual. Thanks much for all that were interested.

I have a ROHN FK-25 Fold Over Tower but I have been unable to locate the owners manual. I called ROHN & they were No Help at all. They have not made this tower in many years & they say they did not keep a copy of the manual in any form? Anyone here got one that would be willing to send me a copy...

I have been chasing the 13 Colonies over the weekend & I needed K2G for a Clean Sweep. I guess they are to close for the vertical, so a friend told me they were on 40 meters. I don't have a 40 meter antenna but I heard them very strong on the R5 but they could not hear me. The tuner in my ICOM...

Hearing Nothing here. Been quiet all day.

Of course 6 meters is DEAD Today. I'll just chase the 13 Colonies on HF for now. I need Three more & then the Three Bonus stations.
