Ahhhhh I was under the impresion the tuning knob on the commander would control freq and such on the transmitter. I see what your saying now. Well, I have been looking more indepth at the remoterig products and think this might just be the ticket. Im still researching using a smart phone for the...
I am in tractors for 14 hours a day sometimes. And since we have diff tractors, combines etc. I would like to have one easy portable setup to take in and out of tractors hence the d72a HT. The idea is that I wont be more then 7 or 8 miles from my tower, So If I set the ts2k up for 10 watts, it...
Im with you on the display. I currently have a 746 pro and non pro, and find myself using the non pro more often. The kenwood display will likely not be an issue since I will be using the rig for remote use.
Will do! Im glad to see a black version coming out again. I have run across a couple of chrome ones already, But I didnt want to go through the trouble of painting and such. Maybe now I can get my hands on the newer ones.
I got a connex 4300-400 a couple years ago pretty cheap off a guy . It has the same 4 transistor 2879 PA as the radios mentioned above. Since Im not a big AMer, I took the amp off the connex and added to my RCI 2950. Now I have an easy 550 watts SSB and around 525 on AM. 125 watt FM carrier. I...
How well did it work? Was the audio seemless? Did it lag in poor cell coverage? Also do you have the ability to use your Iphone as a tranciever with any way to control the rig?
I ask all of these because I dont have a smart phone as of yet, But will get one if it would make things simpler. I...
Your on one of the best sites to learn about the radio hobby.
Ok, now that we have a good starting point. I have yet one more question. You say you want reliable emergency communication. Is there someone who will always be listening that you intend to speak to at a certain location? Or is it...
When you say 2 way radio, do you mean a hand held walkie talkie? Then yes, there are quite a few walkie talkie cb radios. Some even have ssb and FM, although not technically a cb radio, they can be used on CB.
Sat. Night I set myself at the station with a cold one expecting to casual dx and straiten my desk up. I tuned around 20 heard a couple vk (aussie) stations chatting. So I threw my call and started to chat antennas and such with them.
Then the fun started. We had all the following stations in...
Hello, And welcome to the site!!!
Before answering any questions, we will need some more info.
1) Are you a HAM operator (licensed amateur radio)or plan to become one?
2) when you say emergency only, do you need it to be portable so you can take it with you? or will this be in a fixed...
I just wanted some input from operators that have used the 746pro and either of the other 2 radios listed.
I currently have a 746 pro and non pro, and find that I like the non pro rx better. I have never had the chance to use either kenwood and since im interested in sky command I figured Id...
Ok, I have been toying with the idea of installing an HF setup for use in my farm tractors, But I really dont want to spend money on a nice antenna and radio just to have it beat to death. So I have decided I want to use the sky command setup.
My understanding is that it can be run with an HT...
I put single in "" because most folks use these for 11 and free band. But yes they are 10, 11 and 12 meter capable.
As for awesome AM. I have yet to hear an export or cb (except the tram 201's) that sound near as good as an Yaesu ft101xx. Heck I heard a gent using an icom 718 with a cheap...
A bit off topic, but why spend sooooo much for a "single" band radio? For $600 you could get any number of multi band HF rigs that are tons more bang for the buck. Not being a smarty pants, Im just curious if this was even suggested to the fellow prior to purchase?
