    Galaxy radios is dead

    This is truly the end of an era, we all knew this day would come. The QX made radios with the noise reduction feature are really on the next level, its a shame Galaxy didn't step it up like Stryker and President did. Might not be too hard to buy the Galaxy name and have QX make a radio similar...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Just made contact with @Brother DXer 226 on my new Anytone AT 5000 with a KL 203. Always great to talk to forum members!

    Anytone AT 5000

    Running it through it's paces with a kl 203, getting great reports. I didn't realize just how small it is, makes the 203 look big by comparison. This one is the CB version, but the one on the Anytone website is 10 meter, darn. The VFO mode for the function key on the mic doesn't work, and the...

    Anytone AT 5000

    Got mine today, neat little radio. It has great audio with 3k/4k selectable transmit and of course the noise reduction works great too. Out of the box, it is a CB and does about 18 watts on SSB, perfect for a KL203. I moved the jumper inside and lost WX, and the display changed from US to UK? (I...

    Anytone AT 5000

    I just ordered one from Amazon too, $190 + $10 shipping. They are selling it as a cb, so hopefully the conversion is a jumper .

    How about it?

    We have a big snow storm headed to the mid Atlantic this weekend. Predictions for our area 12 to 18+ inches then finishing with rain (ice). Next week won't be above freezing, so it will be a mess. I happen to have jury duty next week too, lucky me...

    Best power Mic for AT-6666?

    The stock element is great for DX as it has great mid and high range. You can buy generic elements, but will be the exact opposite with lots of low range, and needs an equalizer to keep from sounding muddy. The best compromise is to use the element from a telephone handset. I had a lot of fun a...

    Bearcat 980SSB "PLL Porn"

    I find it interesting, although I don't know anything at all about it. It's great watching you noodle through it, but I'm just the peanut gallery, don't mind me. ;)

    Query regarding the use of multiple FM radio transmitters in the same space.

    The OP might be better off making a phone ap for the patrons to download.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Just made contact with California and Hawaii. How did I get Hawaii with my Sirio 4 element pointed at the Northwest Corner? I don't know, probably my excellent operating skills...:ROFLMAO:

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Hearing lots of stations in there today, haven't had much of a chance to grab the microphone though. I am running my 858 Madison in memory of JJ Unit 399.

    If you push the channel up and down buttons together on the mic, it will show the frequency.

    Unit 399 JJ in Medellin Colombia

    My mother in-law recently passed at the age of 94 as she had developed congestive heart failure. She went to the hospital for a week and came home on Hospice with an oxygen tank. Two weeks later she was having great difficulty and we called the Hospice nurse to come out, she confirmed that it...

    Unit 399 JJ in Medellin Colombia

    RIP JJ, and condolences to the family. We had many great QSOs over the years. His contribution to the hobby and the 858 chassis radios will not be forgotten. We had many discussions through DM on this site, and I am proud to call him my friend. God speed.
