    Can you have multiple resonance antennas on one line and have them self select by band?

    I ask because I was thinking of adding a Quad Band Mobile unit so I can have 2m and 70cm. The 7410 has HF+6 but does not have 2m and 70cm.

    Why is it so damn hard to find a Pride DX300 for Sale?

    I have been looking for years because I had 20+ NOS Tubes they are 150's not 250's but still compatable. I have been looking for over 10 years and never see one for sale. Not like these are remarkable amps not like a 350Z or a 511 or better! They used to be common and cheap and I have not seen...

    So my G90 will tune a block of lead maybe a light bulb. How does the tuner in the ICom 7410 Compare?

    So I am switching my G90 for an ICOM 7410. I am wondering how the tuner compares. I am sure my G90 could tune my car body or garage door. How does the ICOM 7410 tuner compare?

    Can you have multiple resonance antennas on one line and have them self select by band?

    So I want to add antennas to a new part of my property seperate from other antenna and radio room. The radio is a ICOM 7410. I want to use it in my living room with different antennas from those in the radio room on the back side of the house. Can I hook multiple antennas to the feed line...

    Pricey, but interesting

    Fans are cheap. You do not need random bracket hanging off the radio. Screws expand rubber. You just use rubber chunks in the sinks to mout fans. If mounted in a base setting any off the shelf walmart fan turned down low and aimed through the sinks will move more air. If installed on dash...

    Radio shack blue big stick antenna

    Yes if it is the Archer Bow Antenna? Worked as well as an Antron-99. I helped a friend install one when I was in college. It worked really well for us. The only problem we had was getting it to read a low SWR. People talk all the time about coax length and swr. When I would test it with my...

    I think I just purchased the last Ham radio I will likely purchase!

    PW-1 is a solid amp that should be lots of fun. At some point I will need to build or purchase a more power amp myself. I always wanted a JRC JRL-3000 amplifier. I had the chance to purchase one new and the money 1992-1993 but then I went off to college and figured I would get one when I was...

    I love CB but absolutely hate the modern human trash that is often on CB today. I do not care if your rich, poor, in the middle, have 12 degree from MIT or had to drop out of high school to help support your family. I do not care what color your skin is! I do not care if you live in a tent or...

    Aquario RP70 “Mini” AM/FM/SSB Radio With NRC

    I think we should all count ourselves lucky to have something this small on the market that has SSB. I am glad it is not in redneck blue not to be confused with Egyptian blue. If it is going to have a large display it might as well be designed to be looked at without destroying your eyesight...

    Aquario RP70 “Mini” AM/FM/SSB Radio With NRC

    I dont really want one but I should have one. That is looking small even by my standards. It looks perfect though to toss in a pocket! Looks like it would be perfect for travel use.

    I think I just purchased the last Ham radio I will likely purchase!

    It is the first radio in at least 28 years that I did not purchase just because it was cheap! Sure the price was good but I actual have wanted this radio for a long long long time. It is shocking how exciting it is. Nice to be excited about the hobby again. Planing to make and put up some new...

    260’ dipole for all bands

    Ladder Line is ancient. If the design can not be made to use coax directly then it is a bad design by modern standards. Most rigs have built in antenna tuners and no one wants to mess with an additional balun if it is not needed just because you want to run ancient designs and gear. What wasis...

    He did not used to be over priced. He used to be very very reasonable. Brian is very smart but also kind of grouchy! I am an Army Brat and Dad was a Drill Sargent for 3 years so guys that are a bit gruff and out spoken and or opinionated do not bother me. That said he does rub many the wrong...

    I think I just purchased the last Ham radio I will likely purchase!

    I just purchased a ICOM 7410. It is a surplus unit but images made it look new or very gently used. They had several and specialize in Industrial Surplus. They came out of a radio communication shop that went out of business. I will let you know when I get it if it is new. It was inspected today...
