    My New Replacement Uniden 980ssb craped out.

    I wonder if it were overkill grounded would it have survived. In my mobile, it's grounded by the double din brackets on both sides of its chassis fairly well. That is, if static is the real culprit for it dying on you.

    My New Replacement Uniden 980ssb craped out.

    Hmm. Mine will get hot as a $2 pistol after a minute or more keyup. It's still holding in there though. Mine's a mobile setup. Howsabout yours Grogan?

    Woman protests strip search, gets arrested

    It all stinks. Poor kid got to watch mommy get hauled off by a pair of deviants that probably do this every day. Child services involved, woman jailed, court costs, time spent pursuing a filed complaint... All three public officials in that court room should be jailed IMO.

    FCC PLANS TO DROP THE BAN

    My satellite provider has ratings for viewer's discretion. If the kids are up and about I use them. But even Disney has some questionable teeny shows. Public TV has gotten worse faster than the average pay for TV. Federal desensitizing. Sex and murder sale generating tax money.

    Socialism: An ever increasing reality and threat

    I think another reason Americans are the way we are is in the fact many have no heritage/history. Our country is a melting pot of descendants of every culture on the planet. I was born an American. But I am a Southerner by the grace of God. 200 years or so ago my people came over and were...

    Socialism: An ever increasing reality and threat

    I looked for a small rig for my car but didn't find what I wanted. 11m isn't what it is stateside either. The U.S. doesn't conform to the rest of the world in a few ways. One is the metric system. That's where most the most humorous debate come from. Second van be summed up in a joke from a...

    Socialism: An ever increasing reality and threat

    The U.S. of A. is a very large and diverse country. Geographically, culturally, and with many various natural resources. We could shut our borders and still have every thing we need to live a good life. Few nations can say that. People hate on us because we are who we are. Proud Americans. This...

    Uniden 980 SSB

    Hook everything up and run it through a meter. Set the SWR/hook up dummy load and then turn on the amp. Adjust the pots until you get good output from the amp. I set mine low on AM, 20w dk-mid 80s pep depending on which end of 11m it is.

    Right to carry past till now?

    I can see how it's anti-gun propaganda cleverly disguised as saving endangered species. WWF has a cause to fight for, but what am I to do to save polar bears or Nepalese tigers? Send them money? My guns, most all U.S. guns for that matter, have no play on these creatures. Now if I had a free...

    Small SSB radio?

    They're single turboed. The one on the right has an aftermarket front mount IC. I stayed in the side mount factory location, but have one that has twice the core. Mine doesn't cool as well as the other, but the other has more pressure drop...i.e. more lag. 6 in one hand and a 1/2 dozen in the other.
