Another good battery no one has mention is the life po4 cells.. More then enough amps for ht and no memory effect .Also nimh are not as bad as nicd for memory effect ..an easy way around this is just about any rc charger "better ones" have a discharge feature to easily cycle your packs with...

Lol... No its a hpi savage flux hp

It's the cells that determines the charge rate and very few companies tell you exactly the cells used in their battery packs. And never put a lipo in any device that is not set to run one ..While lipo are damn good batteries if you over draw one it bursts into 2000 degree flames ..If it comes...

Most hams have a hard time adjusting to sdr equipment as it is ..it's not a radio...it's a computer with finals . Hams are ...or at least was ...do it yourself kind of people. Two most popular methods is a simple computer interface for mic and receive and blue tooth to computer and a...

It's not an Internet chat site xD.. Echolink started out as just another repeater link system. Yeasu adopted the service for use with their radios and have kits to hook up their transceiver to computer ..much like their family link or icons d star.. All Internet linked repeaters use voip...

Power lines act as antennas ..thus piping the breakers...run qrp "5 watts or less" and your problem should go away..If not build a simple beam n point away from your neighbors ..still with 5 watts or less..build a magnetic loop antenna...small easy to aim and work well ...again with 5 watts or...

The 718 is an ok base radio if your not surrounded by noise.the filtering is ....ok.much better of course then the "boat anchors" . Bought one years ago.when they first came out hro had them for 450$ and planed to use as a mobile .old radio yaesu 2000 was stolen . Hooked it up 8 the house and...

Measure the length of coil and times by two ..say the coil is nine inches long ...you would want a minimum of 18 inch from the cab via a straight line .

If channel 1 is 3 swr and channel 40 is 2.5 swr. Then your antenna is showing short not long and cutting the whip would further complicate the problem. First thing you need to do is relocate the antenna to atleast half way back the length of bed ..even on the end of the bed being better then...

I learned a long time ago that modeling antennas and real world performance can vary drastically. If your a ground programming guru then by all means it will be close.the exact ground conditions have to be programmed and all surrounding objects within 3 wavelength as well "this all has effect on...

If an antenna is not a proper 50x Jo then the X and j will swing back and forth traveling through the coax.the 18 feet is 180 degrees "1/2 wavelength " so the radio will See the true X and j from antenna you can see using the smith chart for an antenna close to resonance the difference the...

If a ground wire is 1/8 wavelength "or multiple there of" then it stops being a ground and starts acting like a receiving antenna.rf only travels on the outside of a wire so a wide flat braid is far better then #2 wire "also cheaper" keep all ground straps just as short as possible . I myself...

I have run both and the performance is the same..my current setup are hamsticks "40,20,17,15,12" and a 102 for 10. All are mounted on the bed rails to a remote switch box .I use an ardunio to read the band data and switch to appropriate antenna for instant band switching . Although 40 is around...

I didn't notice in the pics if the coil is in the center or base loaded ...either way it's a simple loaded short vertical .The antenna will work and the desired band and any higher "via shorting out turns in coil" and also a 1 Henry inductor is shunted to ground "normally if center loaded" to...

The original take off angles are correct for free space..Once these antennas are put over ground this changes drastically and varies from site to site..much like the belief a 1/4 wave ground plan is equal to a vertical dipole ..which in free space it is .place these antennas over real ground and...
