guess you had to be there.............

I have seen several Yaesu 8800 Dual bands for a bit over $300. That was my first radio, been mobile the entire time & been bullet proof. I get rave reviews on the signal. The 7800 is even cheaper, but the dual display is really nice on the 8800. The best sounding 2M rig I have ever heard is...

Guys, unless the Chinese are loading Hornady XTP projectiles (NOT), those are handloads. This one has been around for years. As stated above, it was either a double charge, wrong powder (both) or a squib load (no powder) that blocked the barrel on the previous shot.

HF Radio or all mode. No tube models please. MUST be 100% working with every thing from the factory, and SMOKE FREE. I will not buy from outside the US. 73

I love it. No need to spend $1000. If you can hit a repeater and the repeater is in linked in the gateway your good to go. The 880H is $480 delivered. Not much different than any tribander. You can still work 2m/440 aside from Dstar. Software is free at Icom home page. You can slit the cost of...

I started Dstar 3 weeks ago. I'm just too far away from the repeaters to use an HT. Have you had any feedback on the audio? I have heard several owners that loved everything on that HD except for their audio reports. I have personally talked to 2 new owners of your HT this week and their...

different links have produced different audio problems on my Droid. no ryhme nor reason though. for the most part, very little problems. wish I had a better answer for you.

Everyone know you have to wrap the teeth in aluminum foil to get them tuned.

For once in my life I scored. FREE Diamond® Antenna ~ X3200A Triband Base Antenna I think I'll trade it for someone that needs a 220. Several guys around here do.

My Elmer gave me one, said he can't figure it out. Same here. The manual is horrible. They calibrate in LETTERS and tell you how to tune in NUMBERS. Meter will not light up without a 12V adaptor, or "removing cover and attaching 9V battery to connector". Pulled the case, no connector. I...

Hooked up the wires, when I got it, hooked it up to the radio to see if it tuned, and put it back in the box. Never been outdoors, smoke free household. $250 delivered FIRM. Seven day return if DOA, buyer pays shipping. USPS Money order. Here’s the review & tech specs...

HRO dropped it another $100 for Christmas. $1150 or so.

Download the manual in PDF. Then you can search the file. Hold both Band buttons & power up well as I remember.

The Wireman sells this as "super 8 low loss". How does it stack up with what you recomend? Born in 1991 as an experimental coax, similar to Flexi-4XL, but with a foam dielectric instead of the air, or semi-solid polyethylene, dielectric. Very similar to the recent Belden 9913F7 and Times LMR...

Welcome and congrats. Your call sign should show up on the FCC data base in a couple of days. When it does, you are legal. Now start buying lotto tickets to finance your new addiction. Did you not try the General test when you passed tech? It should have been offered to you free. You...

Comet, Hustler, Diamond all work great.

It's there. You do have to go in the menu & activate external display. I tried an external, but you lose reolution with the bigger screen. You can choose font size on the display also. You can also drop the meter from the display and get larger yet. It has a choice of black, white or blue...

What kind of problems on the 7000? Must have missed that. Everyone I know loves them, and same with me. The ONE problem is the cheap MIC. JUNK. But, send it to Nagy, new guts, bigger hole, wind buffer, and one once of weight installed if you want. Go to you tube & search IC 7000 mic mods...

Thanks for that contact. It's 4 hours away though. I think I have bought my last used radio equipment. 100 percent useless in 60 days or less. My luck is not the best to say the least. returning the HD 29 I bought tomorrow. Class act to give me my money back. I turned him on to the $84...

Lots of great info guys. Not sure what the problem with a "stock" radio is to be honest. What else do I need to listen to for road conditions? I looked at a 29 and it had everything I THINK I need. SWR, calibration, etc. AND, what's the deal on some of the "peaked & tuned" mail order rigs...
