Nice, and you keep yourself busy. The worst thing you can do is sit idle doing nothing and let your mind rot. The brain is like any other part of the body that needs exercise to keep healthy. Looks like you will be having plenty of fun.

I accidentally broke off a little white cable when I opened up the Stryker SR-94HPC Amateur radio to take a look at what the insides look like, ie quality of construction etc. when I plugged it in In error I pressed the P6 and function buttons at the same time, the radio is so small that its...

I seriously doubt he served. his stories get better and better as the night goes on. I thought of this video.

I recommend a copper foil hat with plenty of cables connected to ground rods.

Maybe expand CB and add a special channel for CB (No license needed) One at 14313khz USB. so you have channels 1-40 and then channel A which is the special 20meter 14313khz channel that would open up more opportunity for skip, and you get to talk to the great group of guys on that frequency :)

lol this is what happened last night on our local channel. :) I think I fractured a rib from laughing so much. A special forces 18E "Guest star" joins in. and it just goes downhill from here. It might be dying but at least I got a good couple of decades of fun use from it. The whole texting...

The real issue is the increasing noise floor on HF with all the unintentional radiator noise mucking up the spectrum. And every new housing development governed by fascist HOAs making it illegal to put up an antenna greater than 8 inches.

Why such negativity. Let them get a taste of HF and they can move up to the General and Extra license. I would rather see more operators VS less operators. Those interested will learn more on their own. Otherwise whats the point? empty bands because no fresh blood entering the mix. if someone...

How much that Elecraft or the Flex etc.. and who wants to cart around a computer etc.. I can take this small IC-7300 anywhere and start operating in minutes, no PC required etc. Yeah Ferrari makes cars with more performance than a Honda accord.

How much are those better receivers? IC-7300 about the size of a lunchbox and you can take with you anywhere turnkey setup with live spectrum display and etc.. etc.. for 1198 or even less with rebate. You do not seem to get that the IC-7300 is a lot of bang for the buck and 5 years ago you...

You can also get this as well. The RF Explorer which covers 11m etc.. I have one that covers wifi, its a nice little unit. Seeed Studio RF Explorer WSUB1G+ spectrum analyzer

And where do you get this "Fact" that the Rx is not very good.?

Well now RM Italy offering UHF Linears. 2 watt FRS should provide enough drive to get you out nicely with 100w FM UHF.

I have seen plenty of that myself. When you add up the total for all the stuff it really adds up. 300 here 200 there 500 here etc.. ads up quick and like you say, lots of quantity but poor quality. The prices of Export radios have been going up lately even decent SSB CBs are up in the 200 dollar...

Correct but it is very quiet and its off immediately on transmit end. The fan never kicks in otherwise Icom did a great job selecting components and thermal engineering. This thing just loafs at full output power. The receive uses less than 900mA of power. You can run this radio all day long at...

The shame would be spending 500-700 on an export or hacked up cb with channel mods etc.. when 100 bucks more gets you a much better radio. The insane prices i have seen these exports go for is laughable. 1500 dollar hacked up cb radios and you see people are actually buying them. Way better to...

LOL I bought on on Amazon but the regular version, significantly cheaper. But hey he has 10 of these special rare editions. It could double in value you never know. His mistake was listing 10, did he think all 10 would sell out. Should have only listed 1 radio so it seems harder to find...

I never understood why someone who conducts business drops the ball on post sales support. They spend money on advertisement, SEO etc... and yet fail to realise that if you shit on your customers in the end you lose 10x for every dollar. One happy customer means referrals and word of mouth, and...

What you are probably seeing is reflect rising with peaks if you are using a cross needle meter like the Daiwa CN-801 etc..
