    My experience of using the Yaesu VX-8r as a mobile

    Called Vertex today, spoke with a young lady who sold me a new belt clip for $0.68 with free USPS First Class shipping. Yep, I had to make a $0.68 charge on a credit card. :redface:

    The fact that he walks upright is a magical trick. ;)

    Has anybody found where replacement belt clips (original or aftermarket) for the VX8 can be ordered?

    Sparky CB Shack turning into Jerk...

    But your "bought and paid for" opinion is nothing short of utterly worthless since RR pays you to promote them, Bozo.

    11 meter mod for icom 706mk2g

    Well said. 80m is overflowing with self-righteous, glorified CB'ers who ooze filth. 20 and 40 are often just as raunchy. I'm a General Class and I spend about 50% of my radio time on 80/75 and the other 50% on 11m. Often I find there is very little difference between the participants on 80...

    hijack a fast food drive-thru with a CB radio

    He simply used an amateur radio with the extended TX mod done. It had nothing to do with CB.

    11 meter mod for icom 706mk2g

    A realignment is not necessary after the mod (assuming it was not necessary before the mod). ;)

    11 meter mod for icom 706mk2g

    It's been a while, but I found the mod to be quite simple and the SMD very easy to remove. Using a fine-point solder iron I simply lifted one side of the SMD enough to break the circuit. The SMD remained soldered/attached on the other side. When I sold the rig, the SMD was easily pushed back...

    11 meter mod for icom 706mk2g

    1. Remove top cover to access main board. 2. Locate IC chip 4052C-8B99. 3. Set the radio so that you are reading the chip number from left to right. 4. Look just left to the left of the chip to locate 11 solder pads running vertically. 5. Diode D.2030 is the tenth diode down from the...

    enforcer.64 antennas

    Mr. Coily is back in business and making the Enforcer .64 antennas. I spoke with Dan on the telephone (503-930-6007) just last week about one. He has updated his website with photos from as recent as July 2008, he has sidelined all mobile antenna production and is currently focusing production...

    I have a Question about "Dead Key" and "SWING"

    My guess is so that they don't sound like the tired, quiet hams on 10 meters. If that's what they wanted I'd imagine they'd at least get a tech ticket and hang out in 28.3-28.5 Mhz. The overmodulated splatter has become a 11 meter trademark, especially with the "power boys" (and wannabe power...
