Sure. Many, many moons ago I ran one for a couple of years. Pretty good radio for what it does. Never had an issue with it. Never thought I would have seen one of those again.. And not for that price.. MAYBE $150 for a die hard midland collector, That radio only went for a buck and a quarter...

Been there, Done that. Do a search on wilson antennas in this section. I had a couple of threads going you may find interesting. good luck.

There are some 11 meter operators that have better operating skills than some of the ham ops I have seen. Sadly some of them are a little to seasoned......figures.

I would have to agree with this. I see so many 2m club "preditors" that scavange the bands looking for "newbies" to add to thier club ranks. This is for nothing more than to increase their status with their handlers. That is the real test of an individuals mettle of being their own person.

I would have went with the mag on the roof...lol Glad to see you got it working.

I would have to say the Heathkit sb-220 with all the nessassary mods. it was a rock solid amplifier.

Nice find. Beeb years since I have seen one like that. An excellent addition for you collection.

Excellent choice!

Glad to see you got it figured out. Best of luck to you with it.

Nice review and I am glad you like it. I am not sure it is "better" than the rest...Just different. I use a Boafeng for corssbanding all the time and I haven't had a need for the remote function of my kenwood. I just set it and forget it. The full duplex option is nice ,But I have found the...

You too huh? Same here. Some of these guys in these "clicks" are varacious brain wash preditors. As soon as one of them hear a new guy on the air they are right on them making them feel like they have no choice but to join, Especially when there is some sort of monitary gain to be had. They...

It's all about what they can get for next to nothing.:headbang

Yes they do.

Guys, Let's hold up a sec. We need to understand something here. "image rejection" and "white noise" are two different issues. I am with m42duster on this one. This modification was done for a random issue with image rejection with the early model second generation radios. I have no dought...

Figures. I hope the potential buyer knows where to find a rebuilt BA board with that d104 on it.:headbang

Nope not me. I would be more concerned about boiling the fluid inside someone elses eyes at that distance and power level. I agree with audioshockwav on the "to each their own" issue, But I have to wonder if those "bystanders" that are not protected by a farriday cage, and are not educated...

Since no one has mentioned it yet, I figured I would. The mosfets that C.K. mentioned in Ameture equiptment are designed to amplify RF. The 520's, 530's, and the 2030 were NOT ment to amplify Rf. They are used in switching power supplys and will not tolerate any abuse whatsoever. I haven't...

very interesting.

yes I agree. But because of this it helps those of us to keep sharp at redesigning things. Kind of like a double edge sword of sorts. In the big $$$$ game of get it built, and get it out there, very little goes the way of quality control anymore, another sad fact of the times and if the...

Do you mean by climing into a microwave, OR Climbing into a mobile with that much Rf power floating around?
