Thanks for the reply Cap. Yeh long haul aero frequency. Yah, I didn't too it deliberately. My 2m meter rig is side by side with the FT857 and I picked up and talked into the wrong mike. I'm probably going to delete this frequency from memory. Yeh, my rig is modded to tx everywhere. It was that...

I like to listen in on the airband when I don't hear anything else on the amateur bands(8.942 here BTW). Here's my question. I accidentally pressed the PTT and froze the buttons on the face of my FT-857D. After shutting it off and on a few times, the buttons functioned again. Was I lucky not...

I do it all the time with my 40 meter dipole and an mfj949E. Pretty easy.

I've played with the settings Cap, and there's already a huge difference from the default settings. I have a naturally high voice and that probably is a factor. I do hear some guys with very nice audio but they have a few things between the mouth and the radio. At the moment, what they do seems...

Thank you for the reply. I get audio reports that say intelligibility is very good but that it's stock mike quality and I should get something(behringer console is most often recommended) to make my audio more bassy. I used to sweat that but I said to myself, they don't seem to have any...

Thanks, guys. I really appreciate having a bunch of knowledgeable guys on tap. I am basically going at this on my own where I am. Most guys here set up their station with the help of their Elmers who basically check out the station personally. I have no such luxury. Once again, much thanks. Cap...

Thanks. I have it up now to 13vdc and I just bought a small fan.I tested it out with a long ragchew on full power this afternoon just to see how hot it got. With the small fan and no AC on, it actually just got a little warm. Voltage didn't drop below 11vdc but it also probably helped that I...

Yes, with AC, I didn't have a problem. Thanks. I just upped the PSU to 13vdc and bought a small fan. Seems to do ok. :) I just read this during some researching so I thought I'd reduce PSU output.

I've been through a couple hobbies or so, big is better is always on the menu but a few guys call it compensation. :D

Thanks for the answer. Temperature in the shade is pretty high in the Philippines. I have the running hot trouble only during the afternoons where temp gets to around 32-35°C. The supply I'm using is a 30 amp one that has no trouble driving my Mirage B-3016. Maybe I should just try running...

I hope this is the right place to post this thread. If not, I apologize and please move to appropriate area mods. Here's my quandary and I'm hoping to get some suggestions. My Yaesu FT-857D runs hot even on standby mode on the 13.8vdc that my PSU supplies. I read that all my radio needs is...

Thanks for the explanation. I read back the other posts and I do have heater wires and a tint on my rear windshield. That's probably a deal killer. Too bad, it was looking like what I wanted to have on my car.

I see. I'm going to have to try that. Thanks.

Thanks Cap, but does the 2nd post I quoted mean that theres no direct connection to the antenna? That would work for me. I don't like to drill holes in my car.

Sorry for the off topic Cap but how are those mounted?

Anybody know of an Alpha Uniform group active around the Philippines and Indonesia?

Nevermind...

Just use an LRAD...:D

Linear amp at chinese online store. :D

I was irked at the peculiarities of my Uv5r too...until I remembered how much I paid for it. :D
