Thanks for the suggestion. I am not sure if I will have the time to totally break down the unit for such a modification, although thermal tracking would be the best way to go. I am not sure if I would put the diode so close to the transistor. In my area where the winter tremps drop as low as -5...

So would you say that it was worth the small investment? I was wondering what your intended purpose was for it?

Hi Gentelman, Sorry this reply is so late. I have this experement on my to-do list I just haven't had the time lately. I have been very busy with famiy issues. I plan on getting this done in the near future. I have some parts that I need to order up for it yet. I will first try it just...

I have found that replacement Miller furnace filter foam is the same thickness and density for use as a replacement. A google search would be your best friend here. Good luck.

The tm-v71a is an excellent choice. The three minuite timer never bothered me. If your transmission is longe than three mins. it is probably a good idea to shorten it up a bit for the common courtasy of others.

That thread is more than three years old. I do not think that they would be able to enforce it even if they did pass it. Once the cat is out of the bag you never get it back in.

I had a chance to play around with some antennas. I tried the commet sma-24J...and compared it to the Diamond nr-770 and the commet ca 2x4sr. Now I know these two antennas are not practical but just to do a comparisin and found the SMA-24J is very close to these two on TX. The RX was a little...

Wow, So many problems. I havent had any issues with my 5RE plus.

Something definetely dosen't sound right.

LOL

That's kinda like hunting frogs with a shotgun. Overkill and impractical.

Ok, So talk to me about a gain antenna for use on 70cm. What would the measurements be for a 1/2 and 5/8's wave groundplane be for 70cm?

I looked over the spec's on that Smiley antenna and it seems that they are similar the commet SMA-24J and the Diamond SRJ77CA. So what about it makes you feel that it is superior to those?

Hi all, I am looking to pick up a high gain Ht antenna and I am thinking of either the Diamond SRJ77CA or the commet SMA-24J. Opinions? Thanks. 73's

looks like every small outfit in china is starting to manufacture these rigs

Ok Brett. Will do.

Hi all, I wanted to run this by everyone to get a better opinion of what may be going on here. I have a Kenwood tm-v71a running into a Diamond sx-400 then to a commet 790a. The meter is inline full time. The swr was always 1:3:1 and it read the correct power specs on vhf/uhf. Then...

The Kenwood tm-v71a is an excellent choice for crossbanding. It does not id the input frequency and is no problem to do that manually. It would probably be a better idea just to id yourself as you normally would and this would take care of both. Got to love that Yeasu subjective opinion...LOL

Thanks for the information Brett. I will have to try it out. 73's

I am assuming you are refering to the uv-5re plus. They are very nice. I did the extended battery mod a couple days ago and it fits good. I seen the video where he enlarged the hole for the mic element. This will only have a minimal effect. These radios have a mic gain issue and needs to be...
