10 mA to 30 mA doesn't seem problematic to me. I had around 800mA heh. IANAAEG I am not an auto electric guy.

Yeah I was convinced my OEM battery was dead after four years etc....so I replaced it...to find out my antenna tuner in the car was drawing half an amp all the time when the car was off.... Radio gear likes to draw current even when 'off' and if you have it direct wired guess what? Meanwhile I...

No, it shows the whole thing for sure. It's definitely a split option you have enabled to the OP. Time to drag out the manual...I wind up doing it about once a year if I have to do something odd that I forgot about. Just did it recently to get skip/scan working and set up the remote function...

The big benefits... You have a view of the band. You can see 'holes' to QSY or key up in because you see who is around and the width in use. Makes it very easy to find your locals on 75m or 160m too because you can see at a glance the very strong signals. The filtering is just insane. The...

I used to love desk mics, but now I'm a slave to my boom. I've got the flipper control button from a pinball machine drilled through the top of my desk as a PTT and I have a splice to a foot switch for PTT as well. That pinball flipper is an awesome PTT, really light feel, great for fast...

This is what my receiver looks like and I can see and monitor my output over the air with this as well as I operate. It's SDRMAXIII the GUI to the QS1R receiver running on a linux box.

10m repeaters are pretty nice actually. Particularly in areas with a lot of rolling terrain as are 6m. They're even better as a link into a wider network.

mic-pre, comp, downward expander, eq, that's all I like, but even the expander can be dropped with the right mic I've got a Joe Meek 3Q that I like with an Audix OM-2 and I've got a CAD M177 that I use with a Symetrix 528e...the downward expander is very useful with a condenser. The OM-2 is...

Heh, I've done software processing for my audio chain before and the latency is a really weird thing to hear in the monitor and try and talk at the same time. I know exactly what you mean. VoiceShaper is a neat application.

Put an aluminum plate inside the fiberglass hard top of my Wrangler and punched a thick mount NMO through the roof and plate. 2m/440 performance is about double what it used to be...fantastic results! Replaced the crappy Vanco speaker I had with a nice heavy Icom (SP-5) speaker in the mobile...

Looks a lot like the Heil Classic, which is a slicker takeoff of the Shure 55.

The FCC would be on you very very fast if you put up a repeater on the CB band. Putting a repeater on any frequency is no rocket science, just a matter of equipment. The CB charter is so far from a service that would permit a repeater...it would be one of the fastest enforcement actions they...

ESSB is half the width of equivalent sound quality AM...so it's a lot more efficient. It's also a LOT easier on the gear because the duty cycle is _much_ lower. Nice gear. I do hope you didn't buy an Eventide and Bellari gear for ham radio ;-). Oh and technically, running a pitch shift...

I isn't technically possible as power lines are not coaxial and shielded. They will radiate... Cable company signal leakage is bad enough, but open radiators would have been a disaster.

Antenna depends on distance to your repeaters....more antenna == more better, but you may not need it. For 2m/440, the Diamond RH77 is really hard to beat. If it won't get done with that, generally no other duck will do it. Diamond RH77CA SRH77CA Antenna For a compact (about 3") flexible...

hla300v Some nice pics.

This thread actually pushed me to finally get a battery backup for the shack wired up. Debating between a 100Ah and 200Ah AGM , but all the cabling is in place and the charger/isolator is in the mail.

Poor quality batteries...most of them are Chinese junk and that is why they seem so much cheaper than just a 'regular' deep cycle battery and charger. The batteries have died on me on two different ones now, a no-name and a Black and Decker...garbage batteries. They just won't take and hold a...

Get a deep cycle marine battery 80+ Ah or so, AGM or gel type. A marine battery box with a nice carry handle on it and a trickle charger made for AGM or gel batteries. It will last a lot longer and will take the full discharge cycles. If you really want to squeeze it, get one of the 'battery...

Heh, don't forget, it's illegal to even acknowledge a station without an ID. Even "go away" is breaking the law.
