    I got a new hobby

    I do not know why the liberals out here wouldn't accept airsoft as a compromise to more dangerous firearms, but they just want to lump everything into one category and outlaw all of it. The actual law here has banned the use of even sling shots, toy suction cup dart guns, and even spit wads...

    Trashing the band

    If there was real freedom in this country the people would take care of that assclown. Anyone taking a screenshot of their SDR spectrum with this interference?

    BaoFeng GT-3 Mark II

    I think it is an improvement over the UV-5R model. I have one and no real complaints. I'm not that particular about splitting hairs over sound quality and such things if there is anything to nit pick about. I do not like the display as it is a reverse display and hard to see without the...

    What would be the difference, besides the sun? Blech, I'm just going sour grapes because, I'm sour about it, the laws I mean.

    Bird announces a new Antenna Analyzer

    No HF because of the chip they are using - more or less a single chip solution. Hang on because these should start coming out in droves. There is huge margin on this product.

    Right to carry past till now?

    Now that's more like it. A return to normalcy. Just one step away from me having the right to protect myself from any random gun wielding nut. Oh, the power I now have to torment my family. Love it! My oldest brother, I will now repay him with the might of the local authorities as my muscle. he...

    where the freak do you live? FD around here even thinks you have that thing within a thousand yards and DHS will be on you with the T label. you'd disappear.

    I got a new hobby

    temporary set back. that's not real. i don't believe it. out here, these bb guns are more loathed than scatterguns. i made the mistake of buying the ruger 1550 fps pellet gun. it's too loud with the sonic boom, it sounds just like a 22lr. it's nice with a scope and works fine. i'm too scared to...

    Coax help needed.

    coax can act as an impedance transformer. does not mean it has to be a complete failure for the coax to be bad. receive is small signal in the coax. dielectric will not break down in small signal like it will with big signal on transmit. You should be able to determine signal strength on the...

    Another one I see though are a lot of digital signals between the channels and several other just noise.

    Trashing the band

    authorities must certainly already see what you're seeing. They just don't care. The superbowl (ch 6) has been running for 40 years and uncle charlie is not going to change it. I'm having a hard time seeing how hifi audio fits into the 10 kHz channel spec, and how such a narrow pass filter...

    Trashing the band

    The ops goal is likely not only you hear him on every frequency in the band, but that you also can understand him. Monopolizing the band is his goal. If he reads this, he will know he is succeeding, and that will feed his desire for more power.

    if you had to choose where to mount a 2m / 440 vertical?

    That there is an informed guess. Nicely done!

    Coax help needed.

    one year, I had perfect SWR, but no contacts. I discovered the coax had pulled out of the connector at the antenna and had gotten buried in the dirt over the winter. The coax had gotten soaked, so became a big dummy load.

    if you had to choose where to mount a 2m / 440 vertical?

    Your use is primarily 2m and rarely 70cm. You could quantify the benefit from the height and weigh that against the additional cable loss. If your area is relatively flat there will be less benefit from the height unless you are working the horizon. Are you running an iGate and want to maximize...
