    Gen. test

    My Dad ran one, it was fast. I'm a carpenter, but my Dad was a bad ass finisher. Demanded cupped nails, pre fill board ( remember that?), a perfectionist. Had a company for 30 years, always busy, not cheap. I could sand a 1500 foot house in one day at 15 years old, the guys I see now take...

    Ham is warned about "freebanding"

    I have to say, I find some amusement in it. Some places, you can call names, cuss, insult. But none of that get soooo many PO'd. If I wanted to PO alot of radio guys, I'd do the same thing, sit back and chuckle.

    148gtl, low modulation!!!!!!!!!!!, ebay scam

    If mod is low, (I'll get hell for this), unsolder one leg of R131. You don't have to overmod, you just have total control with the mic gain. The radios like yours I've done this with, work better with a noise cancelling mic. You just can't go full right with the gain. 12:00 usually works.

    Extra Channels on a Corba148 F GTL

    Yep. Not as common a radio. The only Grant XL I bought for over 100$, was a new one in '99. I've seen F's go for over 200$ on ebay.

    Extra Channels on a Corba148 F GTL

    If you can carefully solder, a channel mod is easy. Opening and unlocking the clarifier is also. CBR does good CB type tunes. As far as modding it goes, I wouldn't. The radios value will drop like a rock as soon as the iron touches. Mod the hell outa a Grant XL or 148. Same radio, you...

    VHF amps

    Never saw that. Db's are relative. I guess to input. A 1 Db gain amp would have to put out four times the input. Dbd is using a dipole for reference.

    Gen. test

    I will. I've been just hearing it. No written, just this noise means this. Closed eyes, so I don't see the G4FON, Daa daa is M, etc.

    VHF amps

    A 100' tower isn't cheap, either. More than the more expensive amps. I'm getting a Cubex quad ( made a homemade one, it sucked lol), just was curious about the high cost of amps. For mobile, it would help alot. I use Larsen antennas, they do the job, I just wonder why 300W costs so much.

    Gen. test

    90%, you ought to be good to go. I took 2 and 3 at the same time, I'm cheap, same cost. Just take your time and recheck. I answered all the easy ones, and went back to think about the others. Multiple guess makes it alot easier, two are obviously wrong, so it comes down to the two that might...
