    Nagoya antenna ?

    I see my radios as tools, and I don't generally decorate tools (rumors of a party dress and earrings for my favorite 24oz framing hammer, with that perfectly shaped handle that fits my grip oh so nicely, are simply not true - not true I say - notnotnotNOT! :wink:) but I wonder if you may have...

    How many HT's have you owned through the years?

    Not counting FRS and GMRS, toys, and the half dozen or so CB HTs I had back "in the day", the count stands at three Icoms (favorite being the IC-T21A), two Kenwoods (TH-D7A), two Motorolas (favorite being my beloved XTS-2500i), and two Yaesus (FT-60R) The FT-60 is my day to day HT that pretty...

    Nagoya antenna ?

    I've experimented with using a counterpoise wire on my HTs and find that while they do work well, and improve the receive a good deal in marginal conditions, they're annoying and tend to get caught on things, so I don't generally use them. For the most part, I use my HTs to reach local...

    Nagoya antenna ?

    Nagoyas are the only antennas I use on my HTs these days. I use the 775S on my pair of FT-60Rs, on my IC-T21A and on my TH-D7A. I also use a 771 on a remote mike for the FT-60 (antenna mounts on the top of the mike, getting up and over your shoulder when clipped to a vest) and find that my...

    Gizmotchy 2 Meter 4 Element Beam Review

    I too would love to see the new model because that 4db F/B improvement is impressive and I'd like to see what the pattern for the side lobes looks like now.

    Gizmotchy 2 Meter 4 Element Beam Review

    I'm a bit confused by this Mole. First off, my gamma matches didn't come assembled and, second, the four page "manual" that came with mine doesn't even show the full vertical gamma match, just the tip of it. There's a fine picture of the horizontal that shows all the dimensions, but nothing...

    Gizmotchy 2 Meter 4 Element Beam Review

    Just as an FYI, I bought one last Sunday at a hamfest and the instructions showed the old spacing. Of course, judging from the condition of the box this was likely NOS, kicking around the dealer's warehouse for a few years. The copyright date on the illustration is 2006, but the written...
