The Taiwan Built 148s and the President Grants are similar, but very different. This is true for the Uniden Grants of that same generation (6 knobs on left of face, Meter and Channel display and 4 buttons in middle, channel selector on right) (President Grant with 3 buttons under the meter is...
Were you talking about me selling amps on Ebay????? I have only sold one. It got jerked, I relisted it. I constantly give advice to people whos add is going to get jerked (GO TO YAHOO!) There are a bunch of whiner hams like a few in this forum (CW?) that police Ebay and turn anything in that...
Mabee they are decently put together, still why spend that much money on a radio no one knows about???? I never have liked Cobra anyways (only the 2000). I never could understand why anyone would spend more money on a name when they could get the real deal in a Uniden. Then Cobra really...
Hands down, ALL the Unidens are built better than the Cobras. I have never been disapointed in the power and quality of audio of the Unidens vs. its Cobra counterpart!
I just saw a 200 on Ebay.Ebay and I saw the same thing last week on Yahoo! auctions. They are selling them on Backorder! Personally, I wouldn't spend that kind of money on an unproven PLL controlled radio, especially one that will obviously be shoddy like ALL the new Cobra radios!
I really like those 959s. The only drawback I can see is no echo. (I dont personally care for echo, but customers do) I have been mounting radio shack project boxes on the right side of the radio with either a 4 postion rotary switch or 2 toggle switches (for xtra bands) and the dual echo...
I wouldn't, where did you get it for 389? I have a Grant, Ive owned a 95T. Both great radios, Grant never gives me any problems, for that fact, the 95T didn't either!
Thank you very much! I am amazed at how much DX I can drive crazy with such a setup! HE11, I shoot skip all over the cave here! Them ol bats really mess with the receive though!
I like this radio too. However, for the money, I would purchase a General Grant. Pretty much the same radio only without echo. QuackShack had them for 385. You wont find a 95T for that!
You are on the right track....... The hard thing about the quality is dependent upon your volume level and clarity of what you record to it. You will have to play with it to get the levels right.
2AT124, why dont you contact one of these amp builders on here, (AM POWER). I have built several class C amps that will utilize this as a driver. In other words, this radio makes a great driver for a 8 pill!
Believe it or not, Radio Shack has a little repeat kit. I think it is a little 20 second one. I was fooling around with it and actually put it in a customers radio. It runs off of a 9v battery so no problem! It is really generic though and the sound quality isnt really good, but could be a...
I gladly spent $200 on my Heil mic. If you really want to see a quality mic go check out the pricetag on this beauty.... www.bigcitymusic.com/product.asp?cat=vintage&pid=3001202
Isnt this a great soldering iron when its working? I have to be honest though, its really pissing me off. Is the life expectancy on these things only 6 monthes? What is the secret to keeping these things going? I love having the freedom of no cord and a damn good tip on the iron to boot...
2AT124, you stated: "Things said on other forums were not to be take as a insult in anyway . we are alll here for the hobby of radio. I was not involved with the whole AT attack against the AZ gang everyone has a right to talk were ever they please those members have been expelled from the...
EHam isnt going to sell a non ham anything!
SB-220 is a GREAT amp. Tubes are EXPENSIVE! If you want a very good investment.... Seek out an Ameritron 811 or 811H. You aren't going to do 2k with it but rather 450 and 700 respectively. When its time to retube though.......30 to 50 dollars...
How can you say Cobra 2000 is way overrated in your book????#2 and #3 on your list you have the same radio with fewer features.......after all a Cobra 2000 is an 8719 PLL with the same board as that Grant and Washington and 148. Why is it overrated, because it has a clock and frequency...
