I owned one. It was the excellent front to back ratio that was what I was looking for (don't remember, but it was in the range of 30-40db). At that time there were a couple guys that like to create havoc, and I don't know how much power they were running, but usually they would bleed over 3ch...

I use the new President hand mic with a noise cancelling circuit on the McKinley and George. Local reports have said it sounds louder than the stock mic, with much more clarity.

I neglected to mention that I was using a Sirio Predator 2000 with mag mount on the roof of my SUV, and the radio I was using was the President George FCC, so I was only putting out about 11w PEP (no inline amplification was used, because I don't own one).

Saturday was a great day. I drove 40 miles to watch my Granddaughter's T-Ball team play against another and we had pizza afterwards. When I left, I talked to an East coast station, switched to 16 and was lucky (sheer luck) to make contact with the U.K. and Ireland (barely enough time to swap...

Good price. I just blew my allowance on another Lafayette Telsat 25A though, so I'm broke.

I've had several vehicles run over 200K, and one over 300k without a major failure: 1994 Plymouth mini-van - 261k (6cyl) (engine) 1998 Ford Explorer - Transmission @ 278k 1982 BMW - 376k (electrical wiring) 1999 Chevy Lumina (218K) (engine related) The Explorer was a beast. I miss it and the...

I (and a friend) used to hangout at a radio shop in-between service calls, and besides check out the latest new gear in the glass counter, and used gear along one wall, we'd walk through a door on the opposite room, which had aisles and shelves of radios that were for parts, or some were ones he...

Frank Black, "Dirty Old Town"

The President FCC is a great radio with lotsa features and no modification. The McKinley is pretty good as well, but IMHO the screen on the President FCC is where it really shines when used in the vehicle. So many models like the Uniden 980SSB and 880 Am version have wonderful colors that look...

Must be the terrain + WT wattage. I had a Trc-100 5w 6ch that got contacts in the 5-7 mile range, and the TRC-99 3w 3ch that got contacts in the 2-4 mile range. There was another one (can't remember the name) that, if I recall, was a 1w 3ch, and it only got me around the neighborhood. Now I...

Either they dropped Zelle or, if it's sent to someone with the same last name, but Zelle was originally on the list. Either way, I hope they think clearly and find something in-between $20k and $500. Even $3k-$5k would be fair.

It makes sense to them, because I believe they have a more-or-less monopoly on online auctions for any and all categories. What really stung was the new government tax rules that were supposed to have started January 1, 2023. It used to be, that, if you sold more than $20k a year it had to be...

Thanks, good info!

I'm down around the Houston area and pretty much getting East coast NY stuff this week, until about 4p.m. CST - then it's West coast

That's all I had in the 446 folder, sorry

Thank You, I appreciate the information!

I haven't looked at these printers in years. Are they down to a reasonable price? and could you estimate the cost of material used to print the pieces? Thanks.

I have the Cherokee Am/SSB handheld, but only have the Cig. lighter adapter. I'm not hunting for it all the time, but I'd love to run into some AA battery cases so I'm not trapped to the car.

You're .02 micro volts less than your last test indicating a decline in the negative feed from your Flux Capacitor...

I get a lot of N.E. (Rochester NY) and New Jersey every morning until 'bout noon, then it's North/South, catching Canada...ending withe the West Coast and station 501 in California. From just S.W. of Houston, during these times I also hear one sided QSO's - NY, PA, NJ talking across the pond to...
