I was trying to be kind but you said it far better than me.

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...

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.

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...

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...

When you stop and think about the tiny microvolts involved it is amazing that radio works as fantasticly as it does!

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 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...

Local Libraries normaly have ARRL Hand Books and Chilton Manuals and other such. Look in reference section especially over sized reference section. They will be covered in dust and only checked out 6 times!

Cool! I have not won one but purchased one! I like Radioddity. I own one of their HF rigs, A Quad Bander, QT60PRO, QT40 and 2 MRS walkies. Winning something always feels great! The best stuff is free stuff! Have fun!

I absolutely love CB. It took decades of having to put up trashy idiots with more money than brains to make me bitter about the hobby. I have zero patients for what I would call white trash abusing dirty radios and amplifiers. If you are not talking to another humanbeing or at least attempting...

As long as you understand it is a clipping and compressing the audio all is good. As long as you are ok with that they kick butt! So opposite of eSSB or Aysmetric Modulation at 300%. Less Comm has down some crazy buildings using a CP1 to Drive the SP1-A or maybe the other way around. I like...

Well if you are made out of money you could put MRF454 real ones not fake ones in. Your looking at $200 for a MP though. If you really have money to burn you can still get real Toshiba's but last I checked NOS is like $200 each. I would run it as is and just do not do anything stupid like...

I always wanted one. I got one and quickly realized I did not want to afford the electrical requirments to feed it properly. Luckily I got offered more than I paid for it almost as soon as I got it. Like everything from Texas Star they need a little bit of work out of the box to be durable and...

Way cleaner than anything Ranger/RCI/Galaxy has ever put on the market! Wow! As much as I love the RCI 2950 that AT-6666 was doing a great job!

Wow so 18 pages defeats you? I can see that if you did not know what it is. NPC stands for negative peak compression and the RC stands for reduced carrier. Quick and dirty it is designed to let you get your peak modulation above 100% with out the negative portion pinching. So 120%, 150%, 200%...

I like being able to read peak accurately on my Telewave 44 and being able to read from 5 to 500 with no need for slugs.

I currently own a Daiwa Cross Needle, Micronta from 1980's that has the 3 meters and remote mount and a Telewave 44. The Mircronta is for base use and mostly because it has remote monting and modulation reading. The Diawa is used mostly when I set up a mobile because it is compact but still easy...

People like to poop on the QT40 but for like $149 they are diamonds in the rough! Perfect? Nope! Darn good though. If the people in the know actualy applied themselves to this radio it could be great but their is no money in it for them so no attention. Probably good that they do not or it...

Normaly it is slowly over time even when driven hard but not abused it is slow. The other way is something else besides the tube lets go inside and you get massive arcing and not only is the tube gone and your underware but a lot of other parts are gone as well. This is rather rare though. I...
