I'll second that (what camaro1 says), namely that the anytone5555 does not have drift issues. I've found it to be very reliable on ssb and it does not have to be on for twenty minutes or so. Its stable from switch on to switch off. The CRE-8900 is basically the same design but as I don't own one...

High swr's with Dipole Hi Codeman, I recently bought a dipole off of ebay and when I set it up my own swr's were too high. I had a 2.4 on channel 20 and a 2.6 on channel 40 and on channel 1 it was over 3. So this is what I did. Firstly I rolled each side back about 2 inches and checked my swr's...

Yeticom Huracan Thanks for your reply Dave. No I'm not interested in the Optima. I'm only interested in the Huracan so may wait awhile yet. Do you have any of the Mk1's left and if so then what price for a delivery of one to me here in Ireland? Thanks Sean.

Ad in swapshop Thanks Mark. Hey did you get that problem resolved with your floptima. I dont think its cool that a manufacturer wont fix a known problem in their goods on earlier models ~~~ but mentions that it has been resolved in later models. Your right what you say about not assuming the...

Hi All I saw a for sale ad in the swapshop and it uses the acroynm ''OBO''. What does this mean please???. Thank-you.:unsure:

Yeticom Huracan Hi Dave and thanks for the info. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on one of these. I sent you an email enquiry regarding the Huracan Mk2. I had a look at your blog to try to get as much up to date info as I can get. Thanks again Dave.

Does anybody know any owners of the Yeticomm Huracan? How does it perform and have there been any known issues with them? Is it on a par with the Magnum s9? Can anybody point me to any user reviews? They are getting ready to release the Mk ii version and I was wondering how the Mk i version...

Are these reviews anything to do with the Yeticomm site. Is it Dave Donaldson thats writing them or maybe its his business partner. Nevertheless it's a very infomative site.Fair play to you Booty for referencing it for the rest of us.The more reviews, the more informed we are.

Hi 123kid, If you got that radio new then it should have an instruction booklet with it. Go to the re-set function and follow what it says. That should give you the frequencies that your looking for. Hope that works for you.

Hi Folks, so... if I had a radio with a built in amp and dedided to run it through a seperate amp would it be dangerous?? Say for example the Omegaforce ran through to a KL 400 ran through to an antenna.Obviously everything would be turned down low going to the amp but would the amp Blow or...

Thanks Y'all for the inputs. I was considering using a water based emulsion or a plastic based paint like acrylic. I was aware that a paint containing metal would be detrimental to the performance of the Gainmaster. I had even toyed with the idea of using gaffa tape (Gorilla Tape) but didn't...

Thanks 9c1Driver and Turbo t, that information will be a big help to me. I never thought about the con posts being just flush with the board but as you say it can be fixed wih a little solder if need be. As for the call button ,well I got a picture of the radio and saw that it does have one on...

Hi can anyone tell me if I paint a Sirio Gainmaster, would it make any difference to the tx/rx of the antenna. I wish to do this so that it blends in with the surrounding landscape. Thanks Folks

Hi folks, I'm thinking of getting the a Magnum S45HP shortly. When I read Magnums PDF download for the expanded mode, it refers to pressing the CALL button to activate certain functions. Now Please excuse my ignorance on this one, but does that mean that I should Key the mike (press the call...

Hi does anybody know if a set of clear chrome covers (like a glass mirror) can be bought that would fit the Anytone 5555 and that could be shipped to me here in Ireland? I've tried over here and nobody seems to make them or knows a supplier who stocks them. Thanks in advance

Has anybody bought a skypper antenna from a guy in Italy called Alex and if so What was the wait time for arrival of the antenna from him.Thanks in advance.

Ok that explains it. Its about the transistors and the way they are driven at the output stages. Thanks for that Jeff. 73's Sean.

Hi all, What wattage is a 2pill amp. Over here on this side of the pond linear amps are generally referred to in Watts or Whiskies and multiples thereof, whereas on your side of the pond its generally refered to as 2pill 4pill 6pill etc etc...... What does it all mean? Thanks folks.

I saw some linear amps on y t and they were classed as 1-2-4-8 pill.What power does a 4-pill amplifier put out. Is it hundreds or thousands of watts?

Bandit35 I'll let you know how things go when I finally get on air. It's gonna be a few weks though. I'm hoping it all works out. Thanks again.........
