Thank You Irz50 for the info on your Sirio DS27.. I'm a little stuck on that model or the Sirio 827 for a Vertical..have a Moxon 2 Element on the flat side, but am looking for a good Vertical. Respects.(old guy in East Texas)

Going to put up a vertical antenna for talking local and I have been reading up on this Sirio sd27 dipole. I have heard that sirio are cheap,and do not hold up well..but have no experience with the brand. any info on this? Are their any(non-fiberglass) verticle antennas out there for under...

Thanks to HomerBB for the added information. I liked what 711 said about his 1895 15 meter moxon..and I'm going that route. In that way I can use it on 11 meter,untill I get my Ticket..and then change it back to 15 meter..or..? Respects.

UpDate on Old Cobra 142GTL that I bought from a Old Ham friend of mine. He said that the radio was in a shed for over 25 year and was working last time it was used. Took it to the Tech I was told to go to by several friends, He cleaned to radio and replaced a switch for other channel..told me...

The Radio Tech that I know will re-cap/peak/tune/and unlock the clarifier for $125..? Is that about right..?

Thanks Robb for the info. I never was on much AM..mostly SSB..that is why I asked about the extra channels..

Thank You Dmans & 711 for your information. I'm not a big fan of the newer Black Box radios myself.(old guy east Texas)

Have a Old Cobra 142GTL(stock radio) is it worth making mods on this radio...considering its age..and since technology has improved since it was made 40-45 years ago? Thank You.

It really just sounds like a Bunch Of Hype trying to sell their goods and services! I could care less either way!

Yes..True..Disco Sucks...and so does Rap

Before or After the Antenna Melts?

Never cared much for vertical fiberglass antennas myself. Back in the day I owned "Big Stick..showing my age! I have converted several MFJ-1895(15 meter) Moxons that have worked very well for 11 Meter..but..a Long Wire is always good...and Cheap! Just FYI.

THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR OPINIONS!

OldTech03..the guy that owns it wants $100 as-is! I had it last night..no transmit..so..got my deposit back and he got the set back!

Found out that it Will Not Transmit! I'm no tech..sounds like trouble... Found a old Cobra 142GTL that works..for $50! I'm Buying it! (old guy on social security..in Texas)

Found a old Uniden Pro 810E, 40 Chnl, Am/Ssb...Is it worth saving(its going cheap)or..to the Trash? Thanks.

Thank You! That is very good info..I was thinking the same thing! How does the Antenna work for You? Respects.

I have been out of Radio for 30 years or so..and been checking into buying new gear for this Hobby. Being on Social Security and a very limited income..I have been looking into new base antennas. I'm not fond of Fiberglass antennas so I looked at several brands ranging from $80-$200..and then I...

Looking to get back up on the air soon...
