Hi guys, i have a rsp2 sitting here i have not used but lately i have thought about digging it out of the drawer and using it. Mostly interested in hf including cb band. I have a long wire out back running into a nooelec balun then a coax feedline coming into my shack. I also have a a99 cb...
I watched a recent video from John 151 where hes demoing a qt60. I asked him how the noise floor / level in on the s meter and he said he gets 3-5 on all 3 of his antennas. I asked him to check it while away from the house. I watched another vid where he is checking out the qt40 and he commented...
Last night here in Ontario Canada 38 lsb around 8-9pm.est we were pounded by 2 stations pretty sure out of texas. One guy was using the name "citywide" and his partner was calling himself triple x. I could tell the type of transmission that was coming in was broadcast quality and power level...

Maybe this has been covered (didnt see it if so) but for those folks with the noisy s5-s7 on their n2 meters, has the radio been tested out in the mobile with vehicle not running. Ideally out a little from all the neighborhoods noise. Im wondering if some or all of the later prod boards are not...
Hi guys, i watched a video where the s-meter on his qt40 didnt register incoming signals right. Kinda just sits mid meter. Anyone know if that is a thing with this model and if ares 2 does it as well ? Thx
Thanks for the info Brandon. I will give that a try. If no go i will learn to live with it. A buddy of mine didnt like the 2547 and wanted a saturn i had so we traded one old drifter for this newer drifter. To me it was a good deal just in age difference. Have a great day and upcoming weekend

Hi guys. I hope i am not beating a dead horse here with this and realize in the grand scheme of things that the last digit on the freq display being off a tad is no deal breaker. This base is new non modifed and after warmed up the last digit sits at 1. I realize i can correct this using...
Yes the radios i use are stock single final like 980 ssb and 2510. I wont bother using the drake filter unless i use my small amp. Just for good measure.
I would have thought it would need to go behind the amp if running one. To clean up a likely splatter box as someone mentioned earlier :) which in my case would be something like a small rm203 or similar built unit. What got me on this subject was watching 2 vids from scotts radios where hes...
