In the shipping box it weighs 77 lbs according to the label on the outside shipping box & that's just the ICOM 7700. I believe the radio weighs 66 lbs itself but I'm not sure if that includes the Big handles that I also have installed because they look COOL & they came with it. The weight of the...
My Diamond V2000a is resonant on GMRS & has far better gain than my GMRS Base antenna. I have not gotten the V2000a back in the air after changing out the coax & repainting the antenna but I have no doubt that it will work far better than the little GMRS Base antenna since it has three times the...
Look up Goob-WW4US on QRZ.com & email him. He rebuilds the FT-101 radios all of the time & he may have one or can lead you to one. He's a great guy & knows those radios inside & out with his eyes closed.

LYNYRD SKYNYRD did not have their names on the event shirt because they didn’t make any money from them so you had to buy one of their shirts if you wanted something with their name on it.
Funny thing about 6 meters is that Lee-KZ4RR & I live about 30 miles apart & we have chatted many many times over the years & we never met face to face until we were both at Dayton Hamvention in 2013. We traveled that far to actually meet face to face. I met several others with the 6 meter crowd...

I think Farmville is a game of some sort but I don't play games either so it's a guess since I seem to remember seeing someone talking about it somewhere once. Yes, many FT8 stations are Unattended once they get it going. The set it & forget it which as we all know is not legal but so many...
They brought one to Orlando Hamcation several years ago & they said they sold very few of them but some did take advantage of them. I'm putting a LIL TARHEEL HP on my pickup this coming week so at 1 lb 9 ozs I don't think I'll need one. I'm replacing the Four Hustler antennas, 6 meter 1/4 wave...
Be VERY Careful. There is some SERIOUS High Voltage in that amplifier that will KILL YOU Grave Yard DEAD & Fast. If you don't know what you are doing then leave it to a Professional since they get paid to save lives.
When the touch screens start failing it will be mostly after the radios are no longer in production & no longer covered under the warranty so even locating a replacement could be a very expensive repair if you can even locate one. They have had several issues with some of the screens on the ICOM...
