Old news to most. might be new to some. But what is the point to this post? just another dig? We all know that all export type radios are illegal to transmit on. But the Govt still allows them to be imported,no enforcement here. The govt still allows them to be sold. Token enforcement on this...

Like I have said before don't be mad at the cber that uses these radios. Be mad at the importers,sellers,mfg's, and the tech's that convert them and continue to fix them. And the fcc that let the problem get this big in the fitst place. Radio shack is just a symptom of another problem corp...

Bravo now lets hear the hams that took the "CODE" test talk down to the no code hams. The times are a changing eather get on the bus or get left behind. Now lets encourage more new hams by using this example instead of always moaning about cbers and incursions into ham terrority ect. Lets show...

Welcome and I hope you enjoy your time here. :D

True like I said in other posts The biggest threat to ham radio comes from the hams themselves. another cwm food for thought moment. *I*, too, will be dead tomorrow, the next day, next year, next decade--who knows. I know that some of the things I post are not popular and some of the negative...

And now a quote from out own CW MORSE Only at the ones who violate the law. Sure, it makes me mad to hear outlaw operators because they have no business doing that, but you oughta hear them chirp righteously about *their* rights (radio is not a 'right') and try to justify their actions with...

Just courious where do you come up with the possibility of a war between us and them?(WWRF/QRZ) I think and I could be wrong that both groups are mature adults willing to engage in the lively art of talk and suppisitions and what could and should be. Please do not always live in a world of...

Well for one I am a low life extra class ham since the mid 1960's,I have seen this so called hobbie turn regular folk into self centered self serving little eichman's that would turn in their own loving sweet mama's if they would so much as clean up their radio shack's. un authorised person...

Is their a HandHeld version? I would like to get one so I can listen to the new Starcom 21 Service the Illinios state police and Motorola are rolling out here in Illinois.

I'm famous :D Darn and they did not even give this site credit. Just a link. So I say what do you all think ? cmon qrz readers join this site also and join in the fun. :watusay

Yep I must agree. I kinda said that in another post awhile back but in a more long winded way. Or to put it more simply The hams are their own worst enemy and don't really care that they are. :(

The last line makes my point very well and is the reason that unless we change that attitude and start training new hams Code or no code Ham radio will die. Unfortunately, many older hams who have already passed high-speed code tests are fighting to keep the tests in place. They don't really...

Yes all noise toys are frowned apon. As they should be . Just another thing to think about when looking at the above numbers how many silent keys(deceased hams) are includes in the active ham roster? I just looked up 2 old friends that died last year their lic was still listed as active even...

I ask you what does advancing to a higher lic class have to do with anything? Code or no code. The old hams will still harass you as " you did not earn you right to talk on their HF bands. ' fact remains that no new ham are coming into the hobbie and staying. The new hams feel so isolated and...

It might get some people off the cb band and could make CW MORSE happy? :roll: I also use it for chit chat while on the road trucking just so I don't have to listen to all the morons on cb radio out their in cb trucking land. :D

Yes Put up a nice omni for general chat and a beam to pin point your contact Use a standard 25 to 50 Watt commercial rig and you got a nice set up. even in the mobile. It could even help with the 11 meter problem. But alas the FCC again has their finger up their butts on this one to low a...

I think if you are worried about that than you would be one of the few. Most users I know run around 25 to 50 Watts on commercial radios. I think one of the problems with MURS is the low power requirment. Not all of us live in a treeless flat terrain building free area. The way the FCC set...

It could also be that no one is talking. :twisted:

Yep mostly dead here also. I think the problem might be the low power reqirement and lack of sellers and lack of good equipment. The low power keeps me from using it as a cb replacement as CW would like us to do. Hey I am not married to cb radio but give me a viable second choice and I will...
