I much Prefer Winter here in Florida but we have ZERO control over the weather at any time so I just accept whatever we get. The Heat Index has been well over 100 Degrees for over a week here in North Florida & it's not even getting started yet. It will get worse but we have a great AC in our...

I recently Sold TWO of these to a close friend for just $75 since they were given to me by a SK's wife & I would never have used them.

So far everyone I know who purchased one sent them back? Not one of them liked the radio & each one said it's just a Baofeng in hiding & JUNK. I think I'm going to PASS & save myself the money & time of returning it.

My ICOM 7700 will do PSK & RTTY without a computer but it never will as long as I own it. I own 45 Astatic D-104 desk microphones,7 HEIL studio microphones,2 headsets,an EV RE20 & a SHURE Super 55 so it's obvious that I like microphones & they are made for talking or performing & I do both with...

That map shows lots of contacts but if you check the mode 99.9% are the useless FT8 Crap. {:>(

My neighbor has a 751A & he refuses to get rid of it. He doesn't use it very often because he has an ICOM 7800, ICOM 7300,KX3,& several other radios but he swears that the 751A is one of the Best HF transceivers he has ever owned. I know that it sounds great with the ICOM SM-8 desk microphone on...

I am attempting to sell a bunch of radios from a friends estate & his Yaesu FT-900 will not receive or transmit. It comes on but does nothing else. I saw a post online about this same issue but it says something about a diode that fails that can cause this but they make no mention of what diode...

But was it actually paid for?

I made the same reply. Cal does great work for a very fair price.

Call Cal at hamrepair.com in Texas. He's a great tech & he has great repair rates. He will also give you a quote before he does any repairs if you like & if you don't want to spend the money he will return it as is. He has done many repairs for myself & local friends.

I did before I stopped using the band completely. If I want to run power I have 1200 watts on HF & 1100 watts on 6 meters. {:>)

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.
