    Finally!!!!! The "RE-ORG"!!!!!!!!!!!

    I need to learn so much. This is good about that. I do think they need to have a teaching corner though were they teach you how to purchase test gear? How to hook it up! How to use it to do the basics like doing an alignment and trouble shooting a CB etc... There are so many absolutely...

    So anyone planing a Galium Nitride final upgrade yet?

    Latest digital anti-drone systems are using Gallium Nitride amplifier packages combined in series and parallel to get what they need. Think of them like reuseable portable some what easy to power EMP like devices. They are using astronomical amounts of power compared to what would have been...

    would you buy this meter

    I recall the first time I saw an MFJ digital antenna anlyzer in 1991. For the money it was the cats meow and gave you information that previously was harder to come by and verify. Not long ago I got a $49 NANO off ebay. How do you go wrong as a hobbiest for that sort of money? Would I like a...

    would you buy this meter

    I have never been a big Dosy vs Bird type. To me they are all realative at best and not at all absolute and should all be taken with a grain of salt as far as tools go or test gear goes. For decades General Motors paid for me gear to be calibrated regularly so my findings could be used as...

    Need a couple HR2510/Lincoln Parts

    I bought an entire unit for $150 off ebay so I would have spare parts for my minty Lincoln. Granted I got a HR2510 but that is what you do. I will take it apart and recap it and then store it away. I do not want old capacitors leaking on the working unit and ruining it in storage. So each old...

    Finally!!!!! The "RE-ORG"!!!!!!!!!!!

    I here you. In my case I have 3 sons and each time one graduates from college they come home for a year or 2 until they get their own place and I lose my radio and reloading room. My wife loses her sewing/arts and crafts space since we share a space.

    Vintage Realistic CB Base Radio

    Is it actualy off or are you not accounting for the freq. offset when looking at a freq. counter between the AM freq. and the coresponding offset of freq for upper and again for lower side band? I ask because I am not on often enough to recognize everyone and what everyone already knows. So...

    Far worse goes on every day in the hobby. Sad but buying a radio new or used is almost as bad as purchasing a new or used car!

    You sound like a schill no offense but you do not sound like you belong on this forum with an answer like that! It would be liking being on a website devoted to hot rodding your vechile and you tell someone to run what ever oil is listed in the factory owners manual. It would be suspect given...

    not in touch with reality

    Yes but I think people purchasing a Stryker 955 at retail is stupid and the D-Rail tax is out of sight! You would have to say all of these people are already suckers!
