    Rg316 or Rg400 1' jumpers

    The 240 flex has a quarter inch diameter. I missed the RG part on the 400, had LMR stuck on the brain.:LOL:

    Rg316 or Rg400 1' jumpers

    I replaced all the 8x jumpers in my shack a while back with Jefa 240 flex. The regular 400 is too stiff to use for short jumpers, over 10 feet it is workable, but short jumpers, I wouldn't...

    Uniden 980 DDS VFO

    I found this a while back, and I believe this guy is the one that Toby Driscoll from Troy Radio Service is affiliated with.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    It was a small miracle on Sunday when it snowed. I live one block off the main highway, and somebody's junk was giving me a noise floor of s5 to s7. Well the snow must have broke their junk, because I have had s0 ever since! I can finally hear the stations with low signals, and it almost seems...

    Anytone at-5555 PLUS

    The "N" version is the one with noise reduction DSP. The regular Plus is without it.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I am going to point my four element Sirio at the UK in the AM and see what I get. South Carolina is doing really good.

    Reclaim LSB 16

    Great talking to you 898, you are sounding great on that old radio. I am talking on my Ares 2 with 40 watts into my Sirio 4 element, pointed at the Northwest corner. Great QSO and minimal interference, it's always great to talk to forum members. I will be on 37LSB this evening and 40 USB...

    Anytone At-6666 Pro

    Yeah, the GNF feature was better than nothing. But the DSP noise reduction that these new radios have is like night and day. I usually run mine on level 2 and occasionally turn it off to see the difference it makes, it has spoiled me. Now it is hard, almost painful to listen to my old radios...

    Is a RM KL-60 Any good?

    I got one for my Madison a while back thinking that I could drive my Texas Star DX500 with it. Turned out that the Madison does just fine on the 500 by itself and was unusable with the kl-60 as a driver. I keep it inline for taking local, does just fine on SSB. But for a little bit more, get the...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    That is a nice looking antenna, almost bought one. I ended up getting a Sirio GPS 27 because I didn't want any radials at my mother in-laws house. For the antenna tubes, I always slit the ends with a hack saw and use stainless hose clamps. Between the joints, I use anti size with metal in it...
