    Radioddity QT-60 *Pro*

    Warranty support was one of bullet points that swayed me to buy the Radioddity radio vs. Anytone. I would like to find a better encoder though.

    Yaesu FTX-1F QRP

    I'll wait until 6-8 months after it comes out, and Yaesu does what they typically do (drop the price $200-$300 and screw the guys who bought a new rig when it first came out)

    Oldies but Goodies

    While using an indoor magnetic loop antenna, and wasting time trying to figure out what secret antenna to use that the HOA won't see, I ended up running coax out the radio room, front door, and attached to my Sirio performer 2000 mobile antenna, center-mounted on the SUV roof. Great SWR on 10...

    Oldies but Goodies

    A "family abyss" is the worst kind of abyss. You have to see 'em on holidays, etc. for most your life without saying much. A "Friendly Abyss" is a little different. You can cut 'em outta your life and hate their guts with impunity.

    Oldies but Goodies

    Thanks! I've had it a while (NIB) and just opened the box last month, around Thanksgiving. I was doing some re-arranging in the closet and re-discovered it. I started thinking: "I'm 68 now, so what the heck am I waiting for?" ... so I opened the box, peeled the plastic from around the radio and...

    Alinco DX-10

    I had high hopes for how well it operated (it was already a cool looking radio), but price-wise, I think the closest to it is the QT60 PRO. Too many radios that have that "If only this had the 'X' (fill in the feature) of the other radio, and it would be perfect"

    Alinco DX-10

    As of August 2024 (when I bought mine) it seemed to have some distortion on rx (I had to go back and read part of my review), so no.

    Home Radioddity QT-60 Pro

    It's a good radio. My only complaint (same as most all other boards made there) has to do with the volume control. Put 3 radios side-by-side: Cobra 148gtl, Yaesu FT-710, and the QT-60 and/or QT-60 Pro. Power up the radios and slowly turn the volume control. The Cobra and Yaesu will gradually go...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Usually, 38 is a rats nest of competing signals, and when it's like that, stations will move to 37 and sometimes 39. But lately, (besides 16), SSB has been busy on channels 33-40 from what I hear in SW of the Houston area (and just about anywhere you'd want to try above 40). The local channel...

    Home Retevis Ailunce HS4 10 Meter Radio Review

    I've experienced the encoder issue a few times, along with a weird issue: If I'm on 38 and put either RB or NB/ANL "ON" and move to another channel, 39 or 37, they're no longer "ON" (unless I go back to 38). It doesn't happen all of the time, but enough to make it annoying. Nice review.

    Looking to Buy a NICE AND MINTY Kenwood TS 50S

    Haunt QRZ.com's for-sale forum, or the one on QTH (https://swap.qth.com/). You'll have to check QRZ frequently, because equipment goes fast ... really fast. I got mine from one of the two, pre-COVID, but don't remember which one exactly. It came with the box, manual, original mic, and had the...
