    Power mic for President Washington 10m radio?

    Hello group, curious which mic would be best for the president Washington 10 m radio? Would a power mic be a better choice than the new Digi Mike for AM use? Would a power mic just be an over modulation nightmare? Just stick with the stock mic and call it good? Thank you!

    11-Meter Renaissance??

    Hello group, Been out of the 11-meter loop for 10+ years, and now just getting back into it. Seems like a lot of folks that left 11-meters years ago, are now getting back in. QSO's and 11-meter traffic seems to allude to my observations. Is this accurate? Or has 11-meters kept it strength...

    Hello, Is there a procedure to operate/excite the THP HL-1.2Kfx amp on AM? If I set drive to <10 watts, there's really no increase in output, but if I increase drive to about 15 watts, the amp goes into overdrive mode. I followed the manuals instructions by decreasing input drive to 30% but...

    Moving in a different direction....

    Well, I've been pondering the idea of selling off all my CB/10M equipment and picking up a Yaesu FT-857D for the mobile. I have a Yaesu FT-897D for my base, and really love it.
