    A little help

    I ran one of these saw tooth mounts with TWO radios on it (Magnum 257 on bottom & Yeasu 8800 on top) for a while and it worked well. Even though it's not screwed/bolted down, the radios didn't move. Even off road... There's enough of an upward angle on it that everything fit just fine, even...

    Department of Homeland Security

    Isn't DHLS getting in to the ammo & reloading business? I'm told that they've contracted to buy 80+% of the manufacturing capacity of four US primer manufacturers over the next four years, but I can't find the link for "reloading supplies" on their site...

    VHF amp

    I've had a TPL, a TE and both old and new Mirages. I've actually had really good luck with the old brown face (pre-MFJ) Mirages. You can get 160's for well under $200 if you keep your eyes peeled. Power demand isn't bad on them either. I have a B-5030-G (300w) Mirage now and it takes some...

    Holy crap... Recognize the "how to" sticker on the latch? lol And they told us they were multilingual. Lucky that thing didn't come out with a diaper on his ear instead of the TP

    Mobile radio decisions

    I've got both. Votes for ease of use and better audio go to the V71. V71's are MUCH louder than 8800's. They sound much stronger. It also has an almost unnoticeable squelch tail when used as a remote or cross banding. Never had an issue with the timer because if I'm on a machine that's so...

    Dual band vs. HF+6+2+440 Opinions

    I don't think the MKIIG does DCS which you may need on some repeaters. The Yaesu has it.

    XRFWDX XReflector Address

    Craig, that was ME (PMG) tonight on the reflector. Sorry we couldn't finish the QSO. As I was trying to explain through my R2, I'm less than 10 miles from Mole's antenna, however we have a nasty little hill/mountain right in between us. I was bouncing a 100w signal through a 13 element beam...

    Field Day Pics

    I did at least look at the open tabs before I "caught" the screen. I did have to refresh the page a few times because of the google ad on the left size. I figured the gun was better than a viagra, hair club for men, or manzeer ad...

    I know... I was looking at it like "WTF did I leave open?!" I've tried ad blockers before Rob and they slowed me down to a crawl, blocked things I didn't want blocked, etc... I may try the one you suggested, but I'm not holding my breath.

    Are repeaters used that much anymore?

    I suppose that all depends on where you are located. Here in So Cal they're plenty busy.
