Hey Jazzy, I do agree with a couple of your proposed fixes in some ways, such as stricter rules regarding sales of REAL ham gear and improved testing requirements for a ham license.

I have looked at those too. I already run Power Poles. One of the do it yourself power strips I refered to earlier was for powerpoles too.

I just recently( within the last week or two) read an article on either QRZ or Eham regarding building your own 12v distribution panels. Maybe that will help.

Not to mention the fact that it would be extremely ILLEGAL!:lol:

The AVERAGE CB'er Won't, Don't, Can't drop $1000.00+ on a "cb" radio. That makes it kinda self controlling. And, what's your point, anyway?

:lol::lol::lol:

Very simple. It is entirely legal for a licensed ham to modify his equipment any way in which he sees fit. It is completley illegal for a cb operator, who is not licensed, to modify his cb in any way. Note, I did not say that the ham could use his radio outside of the bands allowed by his...

Magnum 257?

Grab the A-99. Should be fine if it is not butchered. As for your first convo, you are doing what most of us did. LISTEN, and when you are ready, you will make that first call. I would try to find a local channel where the people seem like the kind you would like to be around, and hang there. In...

Mole, I just checked the radio, and it looks like the problem occurs only in VFO mode, and in scan or manual tune. Seems to be fine in memory mode. So far.

That is 100% PEAK modulation, not 100% average modulation. Modulation should hit 100% only at voice peaks occasionally when speaking loudly into the mic, not ride there most of the time. What kind of equipment are you currently running? Do you run a power mic? If so, switch to a stock mic...

I have a question regarding this mod. I did the software mod to my ht last night, and it seems to have worked , sorta. Now when I scan the vfo, I get signals, scanning stops, and I get meter deflection, but no receive audio. If I push and hold the monitor button, I get audio, but not until I do...

Looks like today to me. I assume that the seller wouldn't be shipping for a while, and Switch did not care to wait?

Hey, Pink makes radio signals work better.

If you just read the previous posts, the man already has a radio and a power supply, and only wants to get on the air, not buy a complete station. All he needs is an antenna some coax and a 2x2 or pipe for a mast and he is talking. The A99 will be fine. In time, he can get newer and better...

But that would be Permanent! The plastic protective cover on the radio face was never meant to be permanent. Might want to think long and hard about it before using that approach.

No worse than calling a transistor a "PILL" I guess. :whistle:

UNBELIEVABLE ain't it!

Anyone got one of these radios that they would like to sell?

Thats what I am afraid of.:lol::lol::lol:
