    Buying from ebay overseas?

    I've looked into the grant II and lincoln II. Both of which I found places selling them for over $300. I just used google

    wilson 1000 swr issues

    I had a Wilson 1000 that I couldn't tune because the whip was too short. I found that they offered a longer whip for these cases but this was over 5 years ago. I'm still curious what your swr read on channel 1 and 40. Mine wasn't pegged across the band though. I've gone to a 102" whip on a 6...

    Power mic on SSB?

    Yes, this is set up as my "base". Thanks for the advice from all of you. The limiter is not cut. I'll try and catch the only other local I heard and see if he can tell me how it sounds. The only other radio I have is in my mobile and it doesn't have ssb.

    Power mic on SSB?

    I bought the mic when I acquired the radio from suggestions. I've run it a few times in the mobile on am but the benefits of ssb have changed my preferences. I didn't get the stock mic with the radio. But I had it aligned and tuned. I'm not out for over modulation. I'd rather keep it clean.

    Power mic on SSB?

    I have a grant lt behind a ts 250 hdv with a road devil mic. As I'm new to SSB, would it be best to just run a noise canceling mic and skip the extra power? I run it at around 1 or 2 on the slider anyway. I don't see the grant over driving a 2 pill so I can't imagine a problem from that...
