    Antron 99 triple quarter wave.

    The Francis Triple quarter wave went out of production years ago, and people have been looking for them for just as long. If you search around you will find some of posts here about the Fire Up fire stick add-on in this section. I tried it years ago and didn't see any notable difference. 73 Jeff

    Weird/different SWR between radios

    What is the input tune, from the Lincoln, SWR meter, amp, amp turned on. This idea is going to sound nuts , take the top cover off the Lincoln and test again and see if the problem goes away. The older Uniden 2510/Lincoln chassis had a issue with the radio oscillating at weird random times...

    Old Codger Rant

    Yeah, if your going to sell the radio sell the accessories that go with it, it's just like repair parts that that are no longer available. Customer support after sale is just a memory nowadays. 73 Jeff

    Interceptor 10K

    Mine survived countless Sierra storms, snow, mono winds, ice, never came down. They work very well and are built like a brick shit house. I talked to him back in april , told me he had been getting requests for 10k antennas and was thinking about getting back into building again. 73 Jeff

    "New" President Washington consensus?

    I praised the 2510, 2600, 2830/Lincoln , they were decent radios, covered 10-12 with the Chipswitch and fit in small places at a decent price. By the time the HR series died, you couldn't find 2830's anymore and Lincolns became expensive, when the supply of mrf 477 dried up, they switched to...
