    Expo Kit ????

    I have been hearing all the expo kits are getting hard to locate over the past several years. Back in 1991 or so the kit I got for a Uniden Grant was $30 or so ...I am wondering what they go for these days

    Help with Yaesu FT2900R

    I am willing to bet if that radio will transmit as you say that is why the tuning step wont hold in memory. Here in the states the 2900 transmits 144 to 148 mhz and the one sold in Europe transmits 144 to 146 mhz ( if I am remembering right) I really like my 2900 radios as well,simple to...

    Buckmaster 8 Band OCF QUESTION

    I bought the Buxcomm OCF windom,same antenna as the Buckmaster but at half the price....Yea I know still 120$ for an OFC windom is still high dollar.... but if you are unsure of your antenna building abilities not a bad antenna,and does a good job without the need for an external tuner. The...

    MOds for ICOM IC 2200H

    The 2200 has a RF squelch as well as a regular squelch,it overrides the regular squelch from a sub menu that is 2 or 3 layers deep in one of the main menus..The RF squelch acts kind of like a RF gain,the higher you turn up the squelch the more it cuts back the signal. I have a 2200 H as well...
