    WHAT ARE THE MEANINGS OF YOUR AUTHOR NAMES ?

    Yea the Chinese have inundated us with crap cheap plastic pot metal things... and people buy em. Not to mention the poorly restored shiney turd Vespa's coming in from Indonesia and Vietnam. They are simple machines but they are Italian after all. So you have to be prepared to work on them...

    Oh it does indeed work. However if someone is on the channel it does come out the horn. I still am not sure what I need to turn up or down to eliminate it if it can be eliminated. Mainly because I have not had a listener outside to give me feedback. And then someone to get on that channel and...

    Yep... it seems they ended the sale and went up. It was there for a few days only it appears. I believe it was still showing 119 as late as Wed or so. And I don't believe it was noted on sale or something. Perhaps they had made a mistake and found it after a few of us ordered it? I dunno. It...

    TR FC-390 question

    Does anyone know if this frequency counter displays outside the 11 meter range? Specs only list those. Also will see this same thing with Galaxy name on it. Does this plug into about any radio that has the accessory socket for a Aux. frequency counter? Is Cobra's plug arrangement the...

    Good company I delt with

    Also bought some smaller things from Spi Ro Manufacturing. Decent price on MJF switches and some items. They seem to beat MJF direct on most things that they carry. Done business with them twice now. And they take pay pal too... http://www.spiromfg.com/

    Best learner beginner cheapo set up?

    Ah... interesting. Well mostly so far I am concentrating on receiving. While I was looking around out there I found this site which has a nice little program for Mac users. I am trying out the demo and it works nicely. I am working on the Koch method and working in "letter groups". Right now...

    Ran into it on accident on one final google search. Was about to pay more for it and shipping! Luck was with me.... that day. Note to self... always double check. Although if you do have a local shop thats good it is always better to support them with a few extra dollars. Just not my...

    I see your out in Eldo. I send all my Hazardous Waste out there to your neck of the woods. To the facility formerly Teris and now just purchased by Clean Harbors. You have anything to do with that outfit?

    Ok this is my stupid question...

    I don't think it hurt me at all to take the older ones too. Not to pass the test cause it ain't always just about passing some test. Thanks!

    Ok this is my stupid question...

    Well... I had been studying using the older 2003 and 2004 pool. And today I was studying taking practice tests from the new July 2006 Tech pool. Of note: There are no diagrams. Which I kind of enjoyed. The technical level of the things is similar otherwise. They seem to do a bit more regulation...

    Best learner beginner cheapo set up?

    Well they indeed did. At least the Technician one is now updated. It says July 06 question pool and I probably took it 20 times today. I think I only failed it once or twice early on and not by a lot. Near the end I was passing it consistently with only 3-4 missed. Passed it at least 15 or more...

    Using PA questions.

    Well our biggest problem was trying to do three things at once. Fix my Antenna, fix Robins Scooter and mess with this trailer set up. In the end run we got none of them right. Simple things went unchecked. What a Sunday afternoon. Oh and a fourth thing came up. I had a bee hive in trouble I...

    Best learner beginner cheapo set up?

    Ok well now... I have devised a clever scheme.... I located the University's Ham Club. I had heard they were defunt but I see some activity from early this year. So hopefully not. And I know this stuff is probably still here. Repeaters and such. Not much action on thier site lately but I...

    update on this Jim, Ya know these mikes work better if you actually put a battery in them? LOL!!! We did not. Seems when I sent Robin in to get one and he came back with the mike and handed it to me it never got put in. Admittedly I never asked him if he put one in it now that I think...

    Mysteriously lost my base Antenna feed today

    Ok.... fixed I think. I came home and took that connection at the arrestor apart and even though it appeared dry (which it might be as it just dried out on its own) but I blew it out with canned air and reconnected it and all receive is restored. Not certain about send but assume it is as well...
