    Considering a new radio

    Why read an engineering report, when you can see real-time testing ?

    Considering a new radio

    I never said that ALL Hams share the attitude I described. Most Hams are friendly and helpful. However, there are those who are "elitists", even among themselves, who "look down their noses" at everyone they deem "inferior" to themselves. I am 100% certain that I am not the only CB operator who...

    Considering a new radio

    That is because w9cll is a Ham operator . . . Biased against 11 Meters and CB'ers. Export radios "rock", especially on AM and are MUCH less expensive than Ham gear . . . With Hams it's often a "status" thing, whether they admit it or not ! If you think w9cll is against "export radios" on 11...

    Well, first of all, the display has SEVEN different colors for the LED's and it is DIM-ABLE in 31 steps. PLUS, the radio allows the Frequency to follow the Clarifier in Receive, Transmit , or BOTH at the same time. ALSO, it sounds FANTASTIC !

    UNIDEN 858 Chassis - COST of RECAPPING - TRC-457 & TRC-449

    Yeah, I had heard about "Crappy Caps" being sold on eBay. That's also why I'm doing a lot of research before "pulling the trigger" on getting my radios done. Thanks.

    UNIDEN 858 Chassis - COST of RECAPPING - TRC-457 & TRC-449

    That is exactly why I want to replace ALL of the caps. These radios are 40 years old, back when I was a Senior in high school. Did the guy who worked on your radio have a shop ? Thanks.
