Are you running the recommended length of coax (4m)

This may sound like a dumb question but if the sirio has a scratch off authentication label and the label has been scratched off then how does one know if it is authentic?

Question for you Mole What is the output @ 477mhz, does the sensitivity roll off at that frequency. I am interested as this radio would make a great mobile rig for Australia if it performs well on our UHF cb frequencies

Just found this for HR-2600 (Look down the page for hr-2600 ext freq, It states a mod to enable the same freq coverage as the 2510 without changing the chip) Modifications for the Uniden HR2600 EDIT Sorry I posted this without reading the link, Sorry for the bum steer :-(

Sure is my friend That Dish is located in Parkes NSW about 5-6hours from me. It is an impressive antenna to look at indeed

Yes a lot of my friends don't get it, I have lost count of how many times I have herd "you can use a phone you know". While entertaining one night with a bunch of friends standing around the fire bucket with guts full of piss they decided that our place is now called the dish, named after the...

I know that this is an old thread but this is the first time I have read it, For interest sake... I have experimented using a Foxtel sat dish in the past set up as a reflector with a folded dipole for our uhf cb band (477mhz). It worked ok, nothing special but for limited space it did the...

Hey 123 My opinion.... Leave the radio in line fuses in circuit, run the cable that you have purchased to the battery and add a inline Circuit breaker at the battery end of the cable rated at no greater then the current carrying capacity of the cable. Not sure what 12 guage cable is rated...

Just some advice Try to get a DC circuit breaker, they are cheap on eBay and are able to be reset. I am a big fan of circuit breakers over fuses. Just my opinion

Number one rule.... Protect the cable.... That is the electrician coming out of me there :-) Always make sure that the protection device never exceeds the current carrying capacity of the cable. Our wiring rules state that the fuse rating should be no greater than 80% of the current...

Hey FX until I just googled hvt-400 I had no idea what it was but from a quick look it seems to be one of those multi tap all band majigas. I am interested to see how you can adopt the switching into this antenna without affecting SWR. I have a side project which is kind of along the same lines...

I have used 12v 40a spdt automotive relays to repair the busted LP filter relays that had burnt out in my Ameritron ALS500. They work fine, cheap eBay from china. But forget about switching anything above HF with these things as they won't work (major loss)

SSTV on cb is not legal in Australia either but the old net was run above the legal 40ch block in "free band"

@warthog Sorry my friend I thought that you where in USA, I was half asleep when I read your post. Try to get yourself a multi mode tranceiver for example :- RCI-2950 :- yeticom optima Something along those lines, there are plenty to pick from. With something as simple as a half wave...

@QROdx I just read your first link and it makes reference to 27.235 as a international packet frequency on FM. This is the first time I have herd of this. Do you know if it is still active?

Not sure if your laws are the same however as a class licence (packet radio digital transmissions) are not legal on cb frequencies however I can answer some of your questions. If you visit Introduction - Sound Card Packet It will give you a rundown on using packet via a PC sound card by...

Transformer-rectifier-10uf elecrtolytic cap-LM317-larger cap. It is amazing how a small 10uf cap before the regulator will stabilize input to the reg and give less ripple on the output

Christmas was all about my two boys this year. My eldest is 4 and this year was his real Christmas "all about Santa" it was just awesome watching him realise I'm the morning that it was Christmas Day

It is an option to replace the amp section for example: my mk1 2950 blew the 2312's. instead of replacing the 2312's I decided to install a rfx-75 and I run it at 40w so I can drive a dx-500 to full output. The radio runs cooler with this setup. I can see the rfx-150 as being a great companion...

I read an advert for it last night and claims to be class AB bias
