    FT857d or IC7000

    I'm not aware of any additional filters being required for the 7000. The DSP allows you to adjust the filter width and whether you want a soft or sharp shape. You can narrow or shift the IF passband away from QRM with the PBT. Maybe you're thinking about the 706?

    CB Operators and others Get FCC Warnings

    Before any letters are sent out they have an agent go to the area and monitor. At that time they will also attempt to contact you and request a station inspection. If you get a letter you can rest assured that they have pinpointed the signal to you. This seems to be the standard procedure I see...

    FT857d or IC7000

    My vote goes to the 7000. I've been running one over 2 years now and have never had a problem with it getting hot. Even during long winded rag chew sessions it has never gone out of the blue into the red area of the temp gauge. A friend of mine has one and had an overheating issue, but it was...

    Wireman vs. Antenna Farm

    I've placed a few orders over the years with The Antenna Farm also and always received prompt, courteous service. It's been a year or so since I last placed an order though so I don't know what their service is like at the present time.

    BEST COAX

    Loss is only one of the specs I look at when choosing coax. The materials used and quality control in manufacturing are also something I take into consideration. I've used several brands over the years, and Times Microwave is what I use now. My preference prior to that was Belden. The reason I...

    What's a good SWR meter for 2 meters/70 centimeters?

    As far as used goes try to find a Yaesu YS-500. For new, Daiwa, Diamond, Comet and MFJ all make a good meter.

    New Rig choices???

    My vote also goes to the IC-7000. I picked up a PS-125 power supply and used mine on the base. Some people also pick up a 9" monitor and hook up to them to make the display easier to see, but I never had a problem viewing mine.

    Predator Freedom DX-K...111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That 'design' has been on the market for years. People have been using anti-corrosion compounds on their antennas for years. Nothing new there. The only thing new about it is that BD is promoting it. Just like products advertised on TV, you have to take what the salesman says with a large dose...
