Sniper take a hard look at the Yeasu 857/897 radios if you are after an all in one rig..I hear alot of those on the air in my area and when I am on HF hitting some of the long range stuff,..personally I like the sound of those rigs on the air,they are compact to.... I would advise getting an...

The Predator 10-K was made for CB ...but it would work great on 10 meters,just cut the stinger a bit shorter and you are good to go

On the VHF/UHF bands depending on your area there are a fair number of people on the radio.There is a good number of repeaters in my area and some of them are pretty busy,others are pretty quiet depending on the time of the day. There are the regular people that get on a certain frequency or...

Hey Nick !! Welcome to the board! I would have to say keep it simple. Personally I would stay with the brands of radios that have been around for a while,Kenwood,Icom,Yeasu and Alinco. All of these brands for the most part have had a decent record of putting out well made radios that perform...

Depends on if you have a ham radio license or not..... If you have a ham radio license I would say take a hard look at the Yaesu FT 2900 ..I have two of them, one in mobile and one in the house, and they are tough little radios Outside of that I am not sure...

If that radio will tune to those frequencies yes you can listen to them...as long as they dont scramble their transmissions or use digital Look at the book for that radio and see where it will receive at,if it is outside of the 2 meter and the 440 mhz ham radio bands it will make a nice...

What you got is a duel band handheld ham radio ( aka amateur radio ) that thing WILL transmit .......unless you have a ham radio license you can find yourself in ALOT of trouble talking on it.. But on the bright side..you now have a reason to get your ham radio license :) I have never...

Those are some great radios,I had one back in the early 90s and loved it !!( and it was stable after adding a channel kit) But 300$ for it?? I guess it is well worth it to someone

Interesting .....have no idea really The first thing that comes to mind here is that might have been a point to point system for a radio station. In my area there are a few radio stations with small towers and directional antennas pointing to an area that has several very tall...

That thing is a trashed classic to say the least....if it were 100% orginal it might be worth close to that to the right person As far as myself goes that thing is any old hacked up radio in a classic case What a waste of a good case

I dont know off hand where you could go to find the old CB radio calls,I am sure there is a place though I remember my old CB call sign...it was KAEF-0654 Yes there were 4 letter calls issued towards the end of required licensing And welcome to the board !!

I wonder if it has a fresh clean scent ? :tongue_smilie: The world may never know

....if MFJ makes it :laugh:

Yet another one hooked !! Sounds like you are enjoying yourself Sniper You will be giddy when you go to the HF bands..It is nice to be able to turn on the radio and hear someone chatting away 24/7

Was hearing all over europe a bit ago....made a couple of contacts to italy and am hearing eastern europe now :w00t:

For local contacts try 2 meters and 70 CM bands,there are usually repeaters in the area that people hang out on,contacts can range out to about 70 miles or so statewide/regional contacts 160,80 and 40 meters are a good place to start..I personally like 80 meters,can get contacts from local...

Grats !! Now time to have some fun !! :thumbup: 17 meters has been open the past few days...about to fire up the radio here and see what is happening

It has been right at 100 degrees here for the past 3 or 4 weeks heat index of 102 to 108 everyday....needless to say what work I have been doing has been done from as soon as we can read a tape measure till it gets to hot to handle the material we are working with ( I am a commercial and...

I am not sure if the tuner will load up an antenna outside of the ham bands( I am sure someone in the know will chime in )...for listening the tuner wont make enough difference to be really noticed,just be sure to tune the antenna for 11 meters and leave the tuner turned off

If it were me I would run the filter in line just for peace of mind. But if you are not having any known issues with it not in line the choice is yours. The difference in SWR readings is nothing to be concerned with.if the SWR had jumped to over a 2:1 then it would be time to start looking...
