    Motorola MCS2000 Programming?

    No the 800mhz radio cannot be programmed for VHF. To answer your question about a link to the tyt radio, look at something like this Ham Radio UHF/VHF 45 / 60W 200CHTH9000 For TYT Radio New Black Single band | eBay

    Motorola MCS2000 Programming?

    Edit... For the cost and dramas it would be better to go with one of the TYT mobile radios off eBay with nearly twice the output of the MCS and half the cost and it is also self programmable with open TX

    Dual Banders with 400-480MHz TX

    Hey VK1 There is a trade off in performance with wide band ham radios. I have an alinco dr435 which does 400-490 but it is deaf at 477 and only puts out 17w of its rated 35w at that frequency. It is way better to have a dedicated radio for 477 chook band. Look around for an old commercial radio...

    So I was thinking about the MRF150

    MRF-150 is designed for 125V @ 16A draw. I know that your nominated supply voltage over there is 110V but what is the current rating of your standard power outlet?. you may need to upsize that power circuit or run a larger capacity circuit just for the amp. could be a costly exercise

    Massive torque and diesel smoke

    Ok just did some tubing on shockwave, not bad for a jet turbine job. Just thought that I would chuck in a mention of the bandag as it is diesel powered. It just has flame throwers from the turbine side of each of the quad turbos. Love anything sporting huge horse power

    Alinco DX-SR8T

    My mate had an SR8 It did have an issue when the agc was set to slow and the radio would create a sqeal/fart sound on tx (only whilst keying up ssb) in the presence of any signal over s1 (typical of 11m). He sent it back and got a replacement which had the same fault. He ended up giving it the...
