That's because we are in a low cycle. When the conditions begin to come back, you won't be able to stir 'em with a stick. Every frequency available will be full. These "cycles" occur about every 11 years. Even the 10M FM repeaters will be hopping up and down. Another thing is, (and a...

You took the words right out of me mouth! Yes, the "channelized" exports are legal for a ham to use. But WHY restrict yourself to "channels" when you can find a used amateur transceiver for almost the same money? The straight dope is, they are LEGAL for hams to use ON the ham bands. They...

This is a shot in the dark and I am not familiar with that particular radio....................but, is it possible you have a PL tone set into receive as well? "Sometimes" with some radios, if this is set that way, it will cause the receiver to not respond back because it is acting like...

And to be fair! This gentlement gets fined for unlicensed operation. If he had just WAITED for his license to be straightened out.................................................. ********************************************* Before the Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C...

:D I wanted to post this because of something I am hearing on the local FM repeaters. Don't think I am scolding; I am not. But this "LOUD 'N PROUD, all controls to the right is invading the Amateur ranks and shows a complete lack of understanding of how to use a mike and, more so, the...

I mean no harm, but like the man said, if the builder (Uniden) knows anything at all about designing and making these things, WHY do we think WE can do it better by clipping and snipping things? :lol: These guys, likely, are RF engineers that went to school to learn to build electronic...

Could you translate that? I am not understanding HOW it is "hams" that 'break rules to try and get back at outlaws and what it has to do with the Constitution. Nothing meant by it, but I am not making a connection to the discussion and how it relates to this post. CWM

I would have to mildly disagree with "there are more of 'them' (meaning hams) than us lowly CBers" There are approximately 600,000 (I haven't looked lately at the numbers) amateurs in the US--and that's JUST the USA. The tricky thing trying to make comparisons is, the Amateur community is...

QRN, You pretty well hit it on the head. I can't see how making any changes with regards to "incorporating" 11M into Amateur Radio would accomplish anything. Simply put, those operators who are willing to obey rules are going to obey rules. Those who won't will simply bring their same...

It SPOILS ya, don't it! :P I spun dials on my Heath 2040 (squeaky-squeaky-squeaky, whirrrrr) for years, tune and load, tune and load, check SWR. One day I just got tired of it! So I'd been white-eyeing the LDG for a while, so I took the plunge. Mine is the AT100Pro. At first, I couldn't get...

That was going to be my next question! :D Isn't it "funny" that so long as I am doing something wrong, I should be left alone! If I invade somebody's home, then i think I should get away with it because *I* think I am somehow special. But woe be unto those that commit an offense against ME...

You do N O T have a "right" to use a radio; it is a privilege. You have a right to free speech--with certain limits. IOW, you cannot yell "FIRE!" in a crowded theatre. But you do NOT have a "right" to use a radio, argue all you like. Our lawmakers have enacted regulations that govern...

That Tram looks familiar! It didn't happen to come from up around Lincolnton way, did it? :wink: 73 CWM

And NOBODY said otherwise! :D An amateur can use a TOASTER if he can get it to tx/rx and not create interference to other users. If a CB operator buys a so-called "10 Meter" 'amateur' radio", gets it modified to operate on 11 Meters, using the radio on said 11 Meters is illegal. Using it to...

If you say so! :D 73 CWM

WHAT case???? One must use a FCC certified, 40 channel, 4 watt CB for 11M and an amateur transceiver for the amateur bands. You are not to use a non certified "channelized" 10 Meter radio for BOTH CB and Amateur, tho from a lot of conversations, it seems to be the case. "Dual-use" radios...

I am sorry but this is wrong. It is not even a Constitutional issue because the FCC official only ASKED to inspect the radio station. He did NOT enter the home. However, see the Part 95 rule posted above. It states, for one thing, that in order to operate a CB station, you agree to abide by...

And there's something you do NOT know! Ten Meters is partitioned into sub-bands. 28.000- 28.300 is set aside for DIGITAL modes ONLY! Voice is NOT ALLOWED to ANY licensee. Technician, General, existing Advanced, and Extra class may use these digital modes such as teletype, CW, Pactor, etc...
