Sounds like you got a good deal! I have heard some good, some bad from people using the Patriot antennas. Once you have it up and get to test it out, let us know what you think of it. Good luck!

Well.... put that baby on SSB and post the results!! Inquiring minds want to know!

So what do you think the actual output of the KL-503 would be using 8 mosfets? How is the performance of mosfets in these types of applications?

I couldn't tell you what they are using in the KL-503. I sent RM Italy an email a couple weeks ago asking them, and here is their reply. Of course they are in Italy, and the English translation is not great, but here is what they said: Dear sirs, we usede N.9 special transistors make for...

HRO....Yaesu FT1900R: regular price $149.95 After $10 manufacturer's coupon $139.95 They will take the price off when you order so it's not like a mail-in rebate or anything.

Yaesu FT-1900R is 55 watts output and is regularly priced at $150. There are other models that are between 55 and 75 watts output and are between $150 and $175 such as the: Kenwood TM-271A, the Yaesu FT-2900R, Icom IC-2200H. The FT-1900R has 200 memory channels which is usually more than...

Just a suggestion for you Triple Nickle, Maybe look into getting your technician class ham radio license. I'm a CB'er and a ham and like to have both a CB and a 2 meter (or 2 meter/440) in the vehicle. Even though you will probably hear the most current local traffic conditions, accidents, etc...

Thank You Moleculo, I actually have the Cushcraft 148/20T, and it works very well. I have had it for about 12+ years, but living in a rental property for the time being, I was looking for something with a shorter boom length until I buy another property. I did see your modifications and I...

Any new information on the Gizmotchy 2M 4Element? Were you ever able to give the horizontal side a run on 2M SSB? I have been seriously considering one since I temporarily live in a rental home and liked the "lower profile" aspect of the design. At this point, I don't really need high gain...

You can buy an external tone control from Communications Specialists for about $60. Communications Specialists, Inc. Look at the TE-32 which is convenient if you want to change tones quickly when going from one repeater to another. There are cheaper ones that use micro switches to change...

Thanks ExitThirteen! I picked up a used (but very nice) Uniden Pro-810e a few months back and will probably make the clarifier mod in the future. I think a lot of people shy away from the 810e because the mods are a bit complicated, but the receiver is very nice and the transmitted audio is...

Just a thought,...take a look at the Radio Shack Pro-83 handheld scanner. They were recently discontinued by R/S, but you can still find them new in the package on ebay by people who bought up their stock. I have seen them sell for about $70 or less brand new. I have had a Pro-83 for about 2...

Very cool!! It's really nice to build something you can call your own!

I have a Kenwood TM-G707 and it is a really good working radio if you do not need to have both bands up at the same time. A local ham in my area has had a G707 for about 8 years in virtually daily use and it has held up very well considering that about 6 years ago, he had inadvertantly ran a 3:1...

Nice job!! Thank You for putting the time and effort into this. :D
