I'm kinda leaning towards broken. With the Power Scanner and the old Rat Shack meter my SWR reading isn't flat but they aren't far from it. I guess I should hook it up to a completely different radio set up and see if there's a difference.

I've looked at that manual 6 way to Sunday, and all I could ever get to move was one of the needles. I've even watched some videos and can see both needles move and intersect giving an SWR reading. But when I try, only one of the needles move no matter what ive tried. It's pretty much just...

I don't like my Diawa 901, I'm either to stupid to use it or it doesn't work right? But I do like my old school PDC 700 Power Scanner, I have no problems using it. Don't think they make them anymore.

Reading through the comments, Unit_399 made a comment that jarred a memory. I remember our parents bought me and my brother some walkie-talkies for Christmas around 1975-76. Dad was messing around with my walkie-talkie setting inside the house, he was talking to a guy in a neighborhood back...

57yrs old. In the early 70's my neighbor Richard (part time babysitter, I was friends with his kids) had a base station in his kitchen that I thought was cool. Then in 76 Daddy bought a JC Penny Pinto 23 ch CB that I would mess with. I dug it out of his closet about 1990 and have been in and out...

My first beam I ever owned was a home brew PDL 2 HomerBB gave to me . It was pretty impressive I thought. That's another option I could take.

After I get finished talking with some young people, I'm not so sure they're teaching them anything down here.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! ENJOY AND STAY SAFE!

I have an old V Quad antenna which I actually liked when I had it in the air. But I was thinking about buying a new one, because I ran across some specs for a 4 element delta loop. With two V Quads I would have the option to semi home brew a 3 or 4 element delta loop if I wanted to. Just...

Same here, conditions really took off about the same time in SE Okla. Talked to a couple of Houston stations normally I don't hear a lot out of Texas. I just didn't have as much time to DX as I would have liked.

I Got around to swapping my fire stick ground radials for some SS 102 ground radials today. Made a few short DX contacts into Houston , TX and one very faint station in PA, I was actually surprised he could pull me out of the pile on 38 lbs. I really enjoy this home brew antenna. Next I plan to...

I didn't do all my jugs that way. I kinda thought the same thing it might cause more trouble. But I did set it out, We did have a good time didn't keep any fish because we have plenty in the freezer. We had fish every time we ran jugs, now if I needed fish it probably wouldn't have went that...

Redid all my jug lines only to go out to check them this morning and one had the line cut off of it :mad: This sometimes happens when you've caught a good fish and some lowlife run your jug. So I add a message to this one, I think I'll do them all this way.

Lol, you sound like my life long friend Keith. He was the kid that broke everything, now people pay him to fix their junk, including me! He does give me the lifelong friend discount but I make sure he gets some money out of the deal. We've known each other since first grade he one of my oldest...

Wish I would run into those kind of people. I always find the people that won't let go of them, but never use them. There's one I asked about 3yrs ago they couldn't let it go not even for money. I still drive past it every so often its still just standing there with nothing on it. What a waste.

That's a pristine looking radio. Im a sucker for the old stuff. That's probably why my wife is 5 years older than me:ROFLMAO:

After walking around the truck and checking it out, it makes me sick how these people abused my old truck. It ran and was drivable when they took it in the house deal, now its pretty much a shell. The once straight body minus the quarter panels and the usual rusty rocker panels has been dented...

Well, this way my wife can't say it doesn't need an LS motor.

It is hard to be polite to some people these days. I'm one to tend to be triggered buy tone of voice. Sometimes when one of these entitled types tone of voice strikes me the wrong way I have to pause for a second or two before I reply back to them, because if I repeat what's running through my...

This evening while I was walking about my property I thought I'd walk back and check on the neighbors property, they live in Colorado but still keep hanging on to their old home place. and I check things out at least once when I'm home to make sure nothing has been messed with. But when I...
