    Why echo?

    I think more than just hams are sick of the garbage that is on the band these days. More and more truck drivers, people who would normally gravitate to the hobby, are shunning CB. Out of necessity, most trucks have CBs, warehouses use them to communicate with the drivers. However, a lot of...

    Guy installs shower to keep people from peeing

    From the amount of people in that video alone, I imagine that corner had to smell terrible pre-shower.

    use of exports on 10 meters

    The shop I bought my first 2510 from back in '05 made me sign a release stating that I would use the radio for testing purposes only into a dummy load, or get licensed and us it on 10 meters only. He said he wasn't real worried about an FCC bust, but figured if he got a release for every Export...

    New president lincoln 2

    If it has no VFO, and the 6 with the line under it is reference to a memory channel, then it shouldn't have the Lincoln name on it.

    New president lincoln 2

    Well the answer to the first part of your question is Fall 2013. I a skeptical about seeing them sold through U.S. vendors however.

    New president lincoln 2

    It has FM at least. Look at the display on the far right side it indicates it's on FM. Also it's on 26.7906 which tells me it has 100hz tuning increments like the old Lincoln/2510. I will be SHOCKED however if Uniden has ANYTHING to do with this radio, so it may have some features of the old...

    Why echo?

    From the hackmasters themselves. http://www.radioactiveradios.com/products/magnums9.php In the description of the S9 they explain the use for Echo.

    New president lincoln 2

    Hmm, looks interesting. CTCSS, split operation, it appears to have a VFO as well as channel buttons like the old Lincoln. The echo and 10kc slide however make me think its not a new board. Why have a 10kc slide on a radio with a VFO? Wonder if the display will be unreadable at most angles on...

    HEATHKIT

    So what's the deal with Heathkit? They are like the Indian Motorcycle of the Ham world. Is it bad business management, or is it just a brand everybody loves but nobody buys?

    RadioHACKtive butcher job.

    Hard to tell looking at those pics on my phone screen, but the heat sink compound behind the finals looks silver. Is that Anti-Seize? I have a 2510 that has donated a few parts to other radios, an lcd here a toriod coil there, a few knobs and the short board. God help me, I whackpacked a 2510!

    Socialism: An ever increasing reality and threat

    So what are the rules governing gun ownership in the Netherlands? Dutch gun laws are actually quite strict. Gun ownership is seen not as a right, but a privilege, with hunting and target shooting the only two legitimate reasons for owning a gun. Self defence is not regarded as a valid argument...

    Socialism: An ever increasing reality and threat

    @Justme As I said, it's a culture that decides its own fate. We here in the States already have a huge amount of able bodied individuals living off the government tit. I'm glad you are getting along with your government. Really. I'm not going to put down your particular situation. It...

    Socialism: An ever increasing reality and threat

    The simple truth is that socialism only works until people figure out they can rely on the government to feed, clothe, and heal them. Then slowly the population will stop working as it is no longer required for them to do so. At that point, socialism fails, or becomes communism. I don't rely on...

    Awesome Motorcycle

    Two N.F.A. Class 3 weapons @ $200 per weapon VS years of punitive and ever increasing road tax. And some busy body bureaucrat would add the value of two mini guns to the value of the bike and drive the property tax on that thing through the roof. In Utah we pay a one time sales tax on vehicles...

    Awesome Motorcycle

    Not sure you'd have to shift to neutral. My Mother-in-law was an A-10 mechanic. Those pilots claim the recoil from that gun would bring the plane to a full stop at full throttle. If you could carry enough ammo and fire that monster for long enough that is.
