    VX-8DR tx issue (Im a newbie)

    Unless you have modified that radio for out of band transmit, it shouldn't be transmitting there.

    If you like Jeff Gordon, you will love this.

    That salesman should have been tipped off right away, Gordon's mullet was not regulation length for buying a Camaro.

    use cb to order whopper.

    I had an old Midland 23 channel that would "order a whopper." Basically it was my first rig and I had it Super Whack Mega Hyper Tuned. Radio kicked out so many harmonics that it would bleed over the drive through comm set. It was understandable enough to order food, barely. But there was no...

    My old friend President Jackson.

    Even the MRF455 is out of production. This new job I have is taking me to new areas. Since I have been kicked out of the golden screwdriver's shack I used to go to, I have found new solder monkeys to mess with. I have stumbled upon two shops from the "white list" and was surprised when they...

    My old friend President Jackson.

    They can't warranty this radio. Some of the parts haven't been made in a decade or more. Even so they should have disclosed that right from the start. There is a limited supply of MRF477s left in this world. Those of us with the original radios that used that final know of this problem and...

    It's all good. We both agree about certain people.

    Traffic Cameras.

    The news story is about speed cameras. Those have been found illegal in a few states. The problem with red light cameras is, if you allow them, you have to allow speed cameras. People that run red lights on purpose are asses. Pure and simple. Nothing can justify that. England is the perfect...

    Traffic Cameras.

    People that give too much power to government on any level are evil.

    Traffic Cameras.

    I am an evil person I guess. I'm evil because I don't like the government being able to prosecute for a crime when no witness is present to observe the crime. I'm evil because I think that personal responsibility should be more important than government intervention.

    Hands on with the at5555

    If nothing else, "Kenwood" has come up with a reason for the P.A. function. "speaker can be derived under the hood and learn about girls from the comfort of a car when it's cold"

    Hands on with the at5555

    Is it wrong of me to find joy in the discomfort of Zedders over this?

    Hands on with the at5555

    Translation by google translate from I guess Russian. I had to tell it to detect language: "Visually ANYTONE 555, and by then the same functionality. In the FM-modulated weak, needs some work. minimum step 10Hz (synthesizer). Receiver in all modes shown itself to good hand With modulation can...

    Really bad luck with alignments, or...?

    Hmm. This whole time I thought that song was a metaphorical reference to ones achievement on the path to enlightenment after finally glimpsing the inner soul.

    Really bad luck with alignments, or...?

    A former coworker took his new Cobra 29 LX in for a clip and snip job. That radio would move back and forth off frequency bad enough to notice it on AM. All depending on how rough the road was. The hackmaster who laid his golden screwdriver upon that radio told him it was junk and he should buy...

    A harley with a screwdriver. I have got to see that. I suppose I could just hose clamp one to the sissy bar on my Softail.
