    FCC Fines Firms for Unlawful Operation on GMRS Frequencies

    However, I think the FCC is stretching it in basing the fine on conduct that occurred more than one year prior to the NAL. What you want to bet that Thermo Fisher Scientific Company Inc is a non-union shop?

    Is there anything to listen to anymore on a scanner?

    MURS

    We used it around the house a little bit before we were both licensed. We liked it fine. Got about a half mile range. Now that we both have our tickets we use 2M simplex and have gotten up to 4 miles. Walmart uses MURS for their in store radios. Enjoy.

    Vanity callsign processing time question

    Why not give the FCC a call to follow up and make sure everything is submitted right. Like you, I got curious after a couple weeks and called them. I was shocked when I easily got through to a real human being who confirmed for me that I hadn't done something wrong and the app was in process...

    Can anyone help with some advice?

    Well if you can't get anything, the radio's broke! Just kidding. Welcome to the forum. I've owned this radio and I liked it. I had pretty good reception with the whip. They I tried 25-ish feet of wire out the window to a tree and clipped to the whip. Better still. Then I put up...

    TYT TH-UV3r 2m/440 also does 220!

    Thanks for the report. Could change my view on which super-cheap handheld to buy.

    Turn your Android/Iphone into a world wide walkie talkie.

    It is possible to create your own personal channel and avoid the hooligans. I like Zello and use it almost everyday.

    Newbi Question

    Hi John - Welcome to WWDX and the ham world. Start with this - The ARRL Band Plan. It'll give you a proper idea of where you can transmit with your new Technicians license. Just look for the frequency allocations that have a "T" next to them. Basically, you just pick one that doesn't have...

    This makes my blood boil

    George W Bush Net Worth Admittedly a couple years old but also nowhere near the wealth of Bloomberg, Soros, Rockefeller, Feinstein, Clinton, Pelosi et.al. At some point it's good to be correct no matter how much you dislike something or someone.

    This makes my blood boil

    What you said... And besides, didn't Biden just spend more than that on a trip to Paris? Didn't Bam spend more than that on a golf trip recently? And remember the Hawaii trip that was stupid expensive before he had to fly back to sign something. There's a lot of waste to complain about...

    Grundig Satellite 750 antenna

    You may find that it's harder than you think to do better than the internal antenna on the 750. There are some electronics on that circuit (I don't remember what exactly and wouldn't know it if I did) that make the attached whip work pretty well. I mention this because adding 20-40 feet of...

    New Anytone AT-588UV VHF/UHF Mobile - Pulled back

    I think I'll wait for a review and maybe buy a used one. Same here. I wanna believe but... BTW, it's now called the AV-5888UV now. Not sure what the extra 8 does. ;-)

    Can someone help me translate this morse code?

    This translator says it supports audio. Don't know how well it works but might be worth a try.

    Looking g for a new scanner

    Hi there and welcome to WorldWide DX. When in doubt a digital scanner is the best move as it is certainly the most capable but it's also the most expensive. For your stated interests of air bands and amatuer bands an analog scanner will suffice. I would recommend a trunking scanner for 2...

    buying my first short wave receiver?

    Much of your answer can be derived by working backwards from the antenna end. If your objective is to have a large outdoor antenna to enhance reception then you'll be better off with something like the 750. The G3 is a fine radio and will likely serve you well but if you want to enhance its...
