I had a 17B2 & the support arms for the boom broke in 6 months. I went back to my 215WB that is 30 years old & it's never failed me & I believe it's the Best 2 meter beam that Cushcraft ever built. I also had a couple of 13B2 beams & they all had issues with water in the Black matchbox & the SWR...

Remember that it's a Cheap meter so don't expect it to perform like a quality SWR Wattmeter. I use them for target practice at the Gun Range & they work great for that. For about the same money you can buy a Diamond that is a far better meter. I have had a lot of the Dosy meters & all were very...

I worked someone on 50.400 AM several days ago & it was the First AM contact on my ICOM 7700 & they said it sounded great as well.

I work lots of stations that are using an HF antenna on 6 meters. When it's wide open it doesn't take much. It's after all The Magic Band.

I never un over 1100 watts myself on any band since that's about what my ICOM PW-1 will put out. It's more than enough most days. }:>)

I had a friend who wired a TUG9 D-104 for me for the M700 PRO or M710 and it sounded Terrible on both radios.I tried many different heads and all were terrible so everyone will not waste their time or money in the future.

I currently in June 2023 own (45) D-104 desk microphones.

NEVER Trust the SWR Meter in a CB Radio. They are Cheaply Made and Very Unreliable.I would never trust a Dosey but it’s your radio gear not mine.

There is a Tuning pot inside the radio that is adjustable so never trust the internal meter. A Dosey is not a good wattmeter but it's OK for just SWR readings.

No mention of it on his QRZ.com Bio so maybe nobody told them if he did?

I have owned the ICOM 746,746 PRO,756 PRO II, and 7600 prior to the 7700 so I find it Very Simple to operate.I really do Love Big Radios with lots of buttons and knobs so it’s the perfect radio short of the 7800 if I need more of them.It’s really a Fun radio to operate and I’m blessed that I...

So many parked on 50.125 calling for hours so it appears they don't understand the etiquette. You will not be popular when you do this. They obviously don't understand what Calling Frequency stands for? N0VRM is there now & he has been for about an hour or more? {:>(

I'll be listening for any New Grid Squares ONLY.I quit Contesting long ago & I Rarely even log a QSO unless it's New Grid or Entity & that's Very Rare as well. I find contesting as boring as Nets & FT8 & I'd rather have all of my teeth pulled without any pain killers being used.If you like it...

I’m a computer Idiot with my laptop. I posted the pictures with my phone. I was also Busy counting the (90) Buttons & knobs on the front of the ICOM 7700.YES it really has (90) of them. LOL

I don’t believe that Kenwood will be in the Amateur Radio business for much longer.I have a neighbor that has a TS-990 that is currently in NY for repairs and they have had it for over a month and he has not heard from them.He has had terrible service on the radio and it’s far from cheap.I’ll...

Ok I figured out how to post pictures.

My wife said get rid of those radios or I’m leaving.I sure will miss her.

I would not take it apart. It's designed to stay together. My neighbor has a 55' crank up & we loaded it onto a trailer by hand (4 guys) & we brought it down Interstate 95 from Daytona Beach,Florida to Macclenny,Florida with no issues. It's a great tower & he has a Mosley PRO-67B & an M2 6M7JHV...

The ICOM 7700 is Not available NEW but they are a few on the Used market & they are still an Amazing radio & I Love mine. de W4KVW
