    6 Meter Feedline?

    Maybe 75 feet. Less than 100 feet. Nothing yet for the 6 meter antenna. CSH-A505S on 40 foot mast. Sound like LMR 400 will be it. Thanks, 73 Keith AE7RZ

    Who can I trust?

    I am expecting the caps do need to be replaced. I need to have it diagnosed first. As long as the cost doesn't outweigh the benefit, I'm in. I loved this radio. Used it with a Messenger 3. Thanks, I'll check these!

    Who can I trust?

    Who can I trust to repair my Cobra 148GTL-DX radio with added frequencies. It has not been in service for over 20 years. That was when I sent it out to a supposed COBRA AUTHORIZED repair shop (can't remember exactly but somewhere in the San Fernando Valley). It went out with a blown final and...

    Tri-band or dual band?

    I was given a 3 element beam antenna. I was told it is a HY GAIN TH-3MK4. It came with original paperwork for a DB-1015A and copied paperwork for the TH-3MK4. Are these the same antenna?

    Yaesu Programming help?

    I found that you have to download as a .tab file and then "import" the file to the programming software. You cannot just open it.

    Yaesu Programming help?

    Go to k5ehx.net Go to the tab for "Google Map Repeaters" do a search for repeaters within x miles of your location(you can use your QTH). Then download the list for RT systems and open it. It will load into your RT software where you can then save it and send it to the radio.

    Kenwood TK-940

    Is it possible to modify the tk-940 (800mhz) to a more useful band? I would love it if it could do 6m. Or any ham frequency.

    Hard to DX when.............

    Lodge the complaint! They HAVE to investigate and correct it if it is found to be their equipment. If it has caused any damage then file a claim! They hate that. If YOU could prove it is their transformer(and I think it probably is) then you have more to stand on.

    Sounds to me like it could simply be a short in the power cord. Did the cat chew through it?
