Happy 250 everyone! Stay safe!

This is not really prepping, but being able to repair things with what you have on hand is a valuable skill. Being able to fix things is a double edged sword. I fix broken things for a living, and it has served me well. I also fix things at home and can see the value in something that just needs...

The Luiton LT-310SDR radio that I received came in an unmarked box, and the radio itself has no name or model number. This is not a big deal because the radio itself is what we are after. It came with all the normal mounting hardware and power cord, along with an owner’s manual printed on copy...

Found this video, looks interesting. If there is anything to it...

They have lots of interesting things on their website. I am not affiliated, just thought I would share. https://www.microchipz.net/

I found this a while back, and I believe this guy is the one that Toby Driscoll from Troy Radio Service is affiliated with.

I bought one of these a while back because it is one of the few desk microphones still available. Unfortunately I found that the audio has no bass. Great for DX, but not what I was looking for. The solution was to put an electret element from an old telephone handset in it. The electret elements...

This thread is for Black Friday Deals, if you find something good post it up. This one is on Amazon.

Thanks to Radioddity and WWDX for the opportunity to win this HT in the contest. I am posting this review in the GMRS section because that is how I am currently using it as I continue to work on getting my ticket. This HT is a "gate way" radio as it has the features needed as the user grows and...

These guys have been busy... https://simonthewizard.com/2025/10/09/new-ssb-anytone-at-5100/

I just wanted to share some pictures of my installation on my 2000 Ford Ranger. I replaced my Sirio 5000 on a Wilson mag mount because it was giving me RF in the TX audio. The radio is a Q6Pro, and I almost thought it was wrecked until I figured out what happened. The antenna mount fit...

All I can say is wow! You guys have to see this...

Back by popular demand, exclusively at Trucks CB Sales. Limited production run of about 200 units. They also plan on doing the 99, 66 and 44 in the near future. They have the 360014 boards in them.

I found a video that talks about the changes to the Amateur bands and licensing.

This has been out a while, and there are a few that look like they are about the same thing. But this one is different. The all in one handset has a coil cord, and on the end of the cord is a USB plug. It plugs into the transeiver, but it doesn't have to. It can plug into any USB power source...

It was only a matter of time before they shortened it up. It does 100w out of the box too. Very tempting to get one to put in an ammo can.

Someone finally did it! They made a tiny radio with SSB! It's the size of the Anytone Smart, but with a slightly bigger screen and knob. https://simonthewizard.com/2024/12/05/video-have-a-look-at-this-2025-aquario-rp70-mini-am-fm-ssb-radio/ Picture I stole from Facebook

We are dismantling an old production line at work, and one of the pieces of equipment had these neat transformers. They are step down to provide power to control circuits and motor power. They have a 600v primary and I was wondering if I could power the secondary with line voltage to use as a...

I just wanted to start a thread to give everyone a heads up on current Black Friday deals for radio equipment and anything related. I will be posting as I find them. Everyone please feel free to add any deals you find.

Big thanks to WWDX, Retevis, and everyone who liked my picture. I won two of the HA1G hand held radios in the September contest which surprised me because I never win anything. Unfortunately due to a hiccup with the currier in China, I did not receive the radios until November 6 th. Here is the...
