    My Hy-GainV 674B works better than my QT-80, all day long.

    Tram-Browning Company Going Downhill?

    Really? The names were stolen, like all of the antenna designs they made. Same as all of the defunct tube company names.

    Tram-Browning Company Going Downhill?

    They were always selling cut rate Chinese dollar store items. Everything they sold was a lousy copy of something better.

    Tram-Browning Company Going Downhill?

    I had bad vibes from them a long time ago. I told them how I felt about their shitty attitudes and they started crank calling me. I bought a bunch of shitty antennas from them, that didn't last a year. This was about 5-6 years ago. I didn't buy more after that.

    Galaxy radios is dead

    It's the other way around, but inside they are nothing alike. The SS-3900, looks like a Cobra148 GTL-DX. Fuck Ranger :)

    Not a chance. I see the made in Malaysia label. QX is Made in China, period. Fuck Ranger.

    Sams PhotoFacts Collection

    Hi Dan, I am looking for SAMS CB, that covers the E.C.I. Courier TR-6. I am not sure if there is one for this model, but I would be interested in the pages that cover the TR-5, which may be similar. If nothing on TR-6, TR-5 is in CB-16. Thanks, SL

    WHATS THE POINT re, QT40

    I personally, think the QT-40 is an amazing radio for what it is. It makes me think of what it would have been like to have it 40 years ago. I would have had one installed iny flying car like the Jetsons.

    How to deal with...?

    Unfortunately, this does happen. I reluctantly tell the customer to bring it back in and I will check it again. However if it's an issue at their station and no trouble is found there will be a diagnostic fee. This typically deters someone from blaming you when it's actually their station which...

    Yihua 948D-I

    I have been using an OK Industries vacuum desoldering station since the late 80's. I also have a Pace MBT. The OKI's I have, were made by Hakko in Japan, for OKI. The technique I use on through hole, is when the solder flows around the tip hole, I rotate the tip around the lead, as I pull the...

    10 pill build

    Good for smoke shows, headaches, christmas trees on spectrum analyzers and deep pockets, as they require replacement often.

    Dentron Clipperton L burnt band switch.

    I once had a Clipperton L. I too had bandswitch issues. I would harvest switch contacts from junk box switches and fasten them to the wafer with #2 screws.

    I love 10m and would not want that to happen. BUT......they SHOULD give us the freeband and metal antennas!

    Galaxy radios is dead

    Yep.....Galaxy should have parted company with Ranger a long time ago. I am certain, that Galaxy could have had a competitive product, in today's CB/10m market, had they tried to get out from under the RCI cost cutting quality, with the outrageous price tags and moved on to an OEM like QX. It's...
