Thanks, next time we get some conditions I am going to try and make some contacts on ssb. I tried talking to a local a few weeks ago and he was so far off I couldn't clarifiy him in, but he could me. I am pretty sure It was just his radio because I don't have any trouble clarifing other people in.

I have a galaxy 2547 with a turner 454x mic I modified. I turned up the modulation and AM power but didn't touch ssb do you think I should?I got a check on ssb and they said it sounded good. I just wanted a frequency counter to make small adjustments but I will probably be fine with out one.

What would be a good low cost frequency counter to align my radios with. I would mostly like to align ssb because I know a lot of radios tend to drift on ssb.

It's happened to me before but it was always the mic so I'm not sure.

That was great! Hope to get my license soon. Im probably going to start with the yaesu ft-60 is this a good handheld.

Why are they wearing helmets? Its not going to help if they fall.

Not sure about the power supplies but the maco v5/8 is a great choise. Can't go wrong with one of them. I have had one for about a year and it beats the A99 hands down.

Looks like fun!! lol I would never do that.

I made 2 contacts to Arkansason 11 meters. One was 144 and the other was 79. I love the thrill when I make contact to someone.:tt1:

I would go with a radio shack swr/power meter. They are very accurate for the price. You can't go wrong with one of them.

Thanks, I think this radio will be my next purchase after I get my license. I can go 20 feet on the antenna that should work. The closest reapeter is probably 30 miles so I should reach it fine.

Thanks again guys. I think I will go with a 2 meter mobile radio as my first one. Please see my other thread about it.

Is this radio worth buying for use on 2 meters. Also if I get the radio before I get my licence, I am alowed to listen as long as I don't transmit right? Also what is going to be a good antenna to use. I know that were I live in a valley a mobile with a 102 inch whip will get out about 6 to 10...
