    Power mic for President Washington 10m radio?

    It depends on your intended use. If you're aiming for loud, punchy AM audio on eleven meters, the Astatic D104M6 or 575M6 are great choices. However, if you're operating on ten meter SSB or FM, the stock microphone should perform just fine.

    Any Airband Enthusiasts?

    It's always fun to listen. There maybe a tracon center near you as well. Chicago center is about thirty miles west of me and I can pickup both sides of converstation.

    Any Airband Enthusiasts?

    I live between two major airports—Midway and O'Hare—and have several radios that pick up the airband. My primary setup is an older RadioShack scanner connected to a discone antenna mounted on my tower. The antenna sits about fifty feet up, and with it, I can easily hear the tower at O'Hare...

    can anybody shoot me the good the bad and the ugly on baofeng uv 32?

    As someone who owns over thirty Chinese HTs, I can confidently say that Baofeng would be my last choice. The Radtel RT-470 and RT-490 are vastly superior in every respect. Both offer exceptionally good RX performance and clear TX audio, and their airband reception is outstanding.

    Tidradio H3 Review: My new toy

    Update on the H3 radios: I bought two of them in 2024. Both were working fine—no third-party firmware, no charging with the battery attached. Then, within a couple of days of each other, they just died. I turned them on and… nothing. Nada. Strangely, after about a week, one of them came...
