I guess it works but "end-fed dipole" sounds odd doesn't it?

I always liked the looks of that radio in the '70's, the 23ch Base also with similar design. On the mobile the bottom mic mounting seemed weird. I wish they continued with the aesthetic design when they changed over to 40 channels but they didn't.

Websites say it's a 5/8 and is 23.5' tall. You said 29' here ???

They definitely are running too much power. The ones around here goes for a couple of miles too. I'm in a mountainous area so if somebody has one up at elevation then they go many more miles

Never heard the Dog Collar thing around here but I scan MURS both base mobile full time just to see if I run across anybody talking on them to chat with. Biggest problem here is the damn Driveway Gate Alarms that using the freqs. either broadcasting Voice or DTMF Tones signals. They're...

I've been looking there occasionally for a few things recently and am surprised / not surprised to see so many fewer listings with people running away in horror I guess. Especially with ham rigs .... you could look for a model and find dozens of them listed and now it's one or 2. I know I don't...

I've given up on the SMH response here to people wanting things what the great majority would consider to be old ridiculous boxes of junk. People like what they like ..... :cautious:

I had the Antenna Locking Ring keep getting loose on my TID HT. Got one of these a couple of months ago to fix. Called an X Wrench or X Tool - Has 4 sizes, should fit most everything out there. $10 on eBay

Diamond X510HDM Dual-Band Ham. Very broad-banded on UHF. SWR 1.5 thru 470 mhz. 8 x 5/8 on UHF 11.7db gain.

Yes Yes Good Good i like idea very much of you send me free antenna to use my house. Free antenna cheaper than build or buy. This great site free stuff for christmas many thanks :ROFLMAO:

I used like a 2 Watt 100ohm pot wired in series with a power leg on the fan. Mounted pot on the back with Knob. Nice variable speed controller.

Yep, like El Dorado said, take to a competent tech for a full alignment. Decent radios.

Well duh. What's the use of having a meter showing 85W on the 100 Scale and 160W on the 500 Scale from a 100W signal ? ;-)

They looked cool. Had a friend who had one. Seemed to work okay but a couple of the scales were out of calibration. Never saw inside it but assume it had adjustment pots and could have been recalibrated so different scales would show the same reading.

lol .... I didn't say Full Legal Limit. "Full Power" home station on VHF/UHF generally refers to running a full power mobile radio rather than a handie talkie.

Dood ..... this post was from 2011 ..... Not sure I was really alive back then :LOL:
