I bought a DOSY several years ago because I wanted the antenna switch built in. I ended up using it for a while then moved on to a MFJ Versa Tuner V. While my 8 pill reads ~ 1200 watts on the MFJ and the VFD, it would constantly read 1600 – 1800 on the DOSY. Do you really need an accurate...

Plenty of 6 meter radios out there. Band openings are short, but 10 watts will talk across the country NFP. Any one out there have something set up for the 49 MHz walkie talkie band? That could be the VHF freeband. </p>

Doc, Not according to their website. www.qth.com/inrad/ I bought every gadget they offered for the 440 including the tuning rate board. I got the 2.7 KHZ SSB filter and the 250 Hz CW filter. </p>

I have had a 440 for 12 years now. It’s a great radio. I also got the filters from International Crystal. They also have a few other kits available for them as well. Doc didn’t mention it, but it has a direct entry keyboard, which means you can enter the frequency you want by a keypad. Or just...

Your typical AM signal consist of a carrier, a lower side band (LSB) and an upper side band (USB). Key the microphone and don’t speak into it that is your carrier. No speak into the microphone. With out going into great detail, your voice will now modulate the signal. If your were to...

Here you go. rfimage.best.vwh.net/IFR1600.htm Has a dual tone output to test SSB radios. Can display your recovered audio on it's internal scope. Has a sweep generator so you can tune all of the ham repeaters duplexors in your neighbor hood. Too many features to list here. </p>

Not familiar with the Aries, but this is what I use. www.rfapps.com/vfd.htm Some may say it is pricey, but I compared it to a bird 43 at 400, 800 and 1200 watts. There was very little deviation. Plus it gives you your SWR after a 2 second key up. </p>

The universal call frequency for 10 meters FM is 29.6 Mhz. When Europe is coming in DX listen for them on FM. </p>

Though it is possible to get your General or Extra class license first, you still have to pass all of the other written exams. So to get your Extra class license you have to take the Tech (or what ever it’s called now days), General and Extra class license as well as the code test. The...

I was hoping there would be more entries as well. This has always interested me too. Europe has adapted the “FCC” band plan, with the skip for the “A” channels and the jump arounds from 22 – 27. England had it’s own band of 40 channels starting off with channel 1 being 27.60125 and channel...

Talk to Lee, he has some issues with the FCC, so I’m not exactly sure what he is willing to do for you. He will only talk to licensed hams, so include your call with any emails. The way 6 meters has been open lately I’ve been thinking about getting 6 for the mobile...

I was stationed in Oxford then later married in Cornwall. I used CB channels on both sides of the Atlantic. When I was back in Washington DC I had an 8 element quad and keyed up 750 watts on FM 27.78125, that is UK channel 19, needless to say when the band was open I had the whole country...

It’s a so-called “Gentlemen’s agreement”, SSB for above the FCC 40 and AM below. Once you get way below channel 1, 26.5 MHz or so, SSB becomes the dominant mode. There are a few FM channels in there as well, but they seem to be local groups. 26.285 USB is a so-called international call...

Kenwood, TS50 & TS440. That only because I can't afford a Ten Tec. </p>

Does your company radio use a standard PL tone? </p>

Has anyone tried the 15 meter mod on a 2950DX? While I'm at it, where is the best place to get a 2950DX? </p>
