    Any interest in a new forum section...

    I agree, I'm definitely not the whacker type or paranoid, but it makes sense to be prepared for foreseeable problems. For those of us in the midwest, that means the constant threat of a large New Madrid earthquake, ice storms, tornadoes, etc. Not to mention the remote, yet possible, chances...

    nitro knob install question

    LEDs are going to be a little difficult to dim correctly. Last time I put nitro knobs on a radio, though, I installed them on a toggle switch so that I could shut them off when I wanted to. My personal opinion of nitro knobs is they are cool when you have someone you're trying to impress...

    Cobra 148 GTL mod

    When you unlock the clarifier, you'll also need to center the clarifier in all modes. A good benchtop frequency counter capable of reading at least 40MHz will be needed to do this. I've got the clarifier mod and the alignment documented on the computer in my repair room. I'll post it...

    Lots of Radios / Accessories

    Hole saw sold yesterday evening. If I get any more of them I'll let you know. I purchased a lot of 3 at a hamfest a few months ago. It was cheaper to buy 3 from a hamfest table than it was to buy just one off of Ebay or from a retailer.

    the better transceiver

    I'm not sure on the Icom, but I can speak from experience with the TS-440.. I own the SAT model and it's still the backbone of my ham shack. I've had to perform one repair on it, an electrolytic capacitor in the audio chain began failing and eventually shorted to ground taking the volume...

    Important Ebay Situation For Sellers/Buyers

    For what it's worth, that may be the case but you would be obligated to return the item to the seller. If the seller wanted to make a case of it, they would be able to file in civil court and/or contact their local police department. Ebay policy does not supersede state and federal statutes...

    Why Smoke Free?

    Or you can open it up, put a bunch of dryer sheets inside the radio, then close it back up, put dryer sheets in a trash bag, and tie it shut.. leave it where it can stay warm, but not hot, for a few days... when you open it up, throw all the dryer sheets away... worked wonders for an older rig I...

    RCI2950 - Frequency Coverage

    I meant to ask that this thread be closed. The RCI was acting very strange, so I replaced the memory battery and gave it a reset. Now it's back to 26-32MHz coverage which is what I am used to out of an older 2950... Guess something had gotten screwy with the CPU.

    2 Meter Radio Recommendations?

    I'll second the recommendation for the 2200h.. Run one mobile and it has been through hell and still works as good as the day I took it out of the box. I also own a V8000 and it's a solid radio. In my truck I'm running an older HTX-242 Radio Shack... it's farily plain jane with no alpha tags...
