    Good small setup?

    I have found that if you put in a tiny bit of echo it can enhance the audio, but of course if you have it turned up to much it sounds pretty silly.

    PC68XL

    Thanks for the info! I tried a Cobra 25 in the car but it does not like the car. During TX is sounds like RF is on the audio, I geuss it needs to be grounded better, I can put it in the house and everythings fine. Been there done that I aint going to mess with it, got a 30 year old 23 channel GE...

    What have you used duct tape for? And are you a true redneck

    55% for me, if those friges on the porch quit running my % will go up! Ok about the duct tape. I am a retired pilot, once I was flying a small twin engine aircraft that had a cracked wing tip (there made of plastic) a mechanic patched it up with duct tape and I flew it like that for a few...

    Buying items on eBay. Buyer Beware!

    I have been pretty lucky (or careful). I have been on ebay for about eight years now and have 220 feed backs with no negitives. But last year I won a Cobra 88 for $50 that was discribe a "mint" and the seller had hundreds of positive feed backs. When I got the radio it had been wiped down with...

    yaesu ft-7800R vertex dual band

    I have had two of them for over a year now, great radios. I use them on 440 and 460 mostly. The main tuning dial is a little to sensitive for me, but I have no plans of getting rid of them.

    Hope for the "Financially Challenged"

    Great job! Your story reminds me of one time I put up a quarter wave sloper for 160m and the other half of the antenna was the 50 ft tower it was mounted on. It was my first time on 160 meters, I was running 100 watts. I got great signel reports, and when I told the old hard asses that have...

    Best Band for Mobile Communications?

    I spent many years on the same quest and after trying many bands including HF went with a GMRS repeater and it is good for 20 miles. The repeater only does 20 watts and the mobiles 25 to 40 watts. The repeaters antenna is 50 feet high and the mobiles just have 1/4 waves (6 inches). It's not 50...
