    fair price for ts530s?

    OK. Found out the sealed bid radio is NOT the ts530s. FOR AUCTION BY SEALED BID: KENWOOD TS-520SE MINIMUM BID: $250.00 The TS530S is for sale by a club member, and he is willing to set the radio up and demonstrate that it functions properly. Maybe I can talk him into teaching me the tuning...

    fair price for ts530s?

    Thanks. There are two available locally right now one was donated to the club and they're selling it via sealed bid. The other is 375 for radio mic and tuner. Both are supposed to be in good working order.

    Another "Probe" among us

    Thanks. Honestly, they make it pretty darn easy to pass. Now to keep learning so I actually know what the hell I'm doing. The locals have already been incredibly welcoming and helpful. Offered some spare equipment to me tonight. I slapped together a couple ugly (but functional) antennas for...

    Help with Neighbor Interference

    I can understand your point of view. I think the way you approach them matters.... I'd tell them I don't care what the source of the interference is, and don't intend to cause them any trouble with the law. I just want to get it resolved, and propose a way to get it done.(I'm curious how) Is...

    Fire tower

    The plexiglass windows up top all open. So an L shaped bracket bolted the lip with a short section of mast is my first thought.

    Fire tower

    I could easily slap my sirio 5000 on top of the tower, but I was thinking something a little more substantial. Might have to get creative and make some sort of bracket I could bolt on and take it down when I'm done. Don't mind setup taking a little time... I'd make a day out of it. Maybe hoist...

    X FORCE OR FAT BOY?

    I'd be getting an antenna, best coax I could afford and a rotor if I had that kind of budget. Add a small amp and do lots of talking.

    Fire tower

    Going to be making use of this old fire lookout tower near my home. I can access it with my small truck fairly easily when there isn't snow on the ground. May thru November just about. It is a 75 foot tower sat on top of a hill roughly 850-900 ft above sea level. On a clear day I can see for 50...
