    Question about Vanity Calls - Redlight Review

    If you have applied for a vanity call and the redlight review has been completed, does that mean that you are successful and now just have to go through the FCC waiting period, which I am told is 18 days?

    Speaker with high freq cutoff - Recommendation Wanted

    The DSP speaker does a good job on all noise, especially static. I really would like to eliminate most noise above 4k as much as possible in addition. I typically like have EQ on any audio which I don't currently have on the IC-7000

    Speaker with high freq cutoff - Recommendation Wanted

    Thanks. I'm just looking to limit high frequency stuff maybe a little more than usual. Similar to an outboard EQ. I don't think off the shelf car audio stuff has the right response range.

    Speaker with high freq cutoff - Recommendation Wanted

    I'm looking for a speaker with a good high frequency cutoff. High frequency noise really bothers me and I find it difficult to listen to for a long period of time. I already have an external DSP speaker, but I am looking for a speaker with passive filters that remove high frequency sound. Any...

    I almost bought one this week, but I really don't have a need for it.

    New radio on a budget

    For half your budget you could get an Alinco SR8T and still have money left over for a tuner and a modest antenna.

    Stealth HF antenna ideas

    I don't like going up in the attic either, but once its in place, you shouldn't have to go up there for much. I doubt the wind is going to blow it down! If it did you'd have larger problems on your hands.

    Stealth HF antenna ideas

    How big is your attic. I have a half size G5RV in mine and it works fairly well. I only operate on 10m right now, but I've made some contacts on 10 watts or less so it works at least somewhat well.

    New radio on a budget

    1000 is a pretty good budget. You could definitely get something good for that price. You can pick up many multimode rigs for less than that.

    I've heard of them. It's a shame that this didn't make national news.

    UNIDEN PRO-505XL: The Most Bang For The Buck;

    I have two. One is still unopened. The other seems to have really high volume if you even turn the volume control at all. That kind of bothered me. With all the skip out there I really like having the ability to turn down RF gain. I don't care for DX on CB at all and really only use this kind of...

    UNIDEN PRO-505XL: The Most Bang For The Buck;

    You can get these for cheap from time to time directly from the Uniden website, especially if you get the refurb or "like new" models.

    ic718 swings backwards

    Yes, adjusting the overall power can be done that way, but not the dead key. If you lower RF power, you peak drops as well.

    ic718 swings backwards

    Adjusting the dead key isn't always straight forward with these kind of rigs I don't think.

    not sure were to post plz help

    If you are mainly talking local and have some people causing interference, just try reducing the RF gain. With RF gain wide open, you are going to here everything that is out there.

    ic718 swings backwards

    I think some of the newer rigs exhibit this. I thought this had to do with controlled carrier or something like that. I know my IC-7000 responds differently on AM than my 706 did. The 706 had a very nice forward swing with pretty good modulation, basically close to the spec of 80-90%. Nothing...

    Another QRP rig for your approval

    Couldn't you just get a used IC-703 for around the same price with more features and better quality?
