    Dumb question... throwing myself on the mercy of the crowd...

    AND .... the same PATTERN repeats the skips on all "Banded" Radios. Radios that have an a,b,c,d,e,f,g Band Switch. The same 5 Channels are skipped over in each band. So with the activation of the Switch, you'll get the otherwise skipped over channels on ALL Bands. Example. If on that radio Band...

    Vintage C.B.'s

    I don't see how scanning back through dozens and dozens of pages to go back 17 years is a "simple oversight" :ROFLMAO:

    RM Italy KL 503 HD - Anybody ever use?

    No amps sound bad on sideband. Amps simply amplify what you put into them. Put good in - get good out. Put trash in - get trash out.

    Question on FRS versus GMRS....

    It is curious. I guess GMRS Personal-Use is for guys who just absolutely positively refuse to get even a Technician Ham License for some reason .... and then have free use of all the VHF & UHF Repeaters that are practically everywhere.

    RM Italy KL 703 Tech Special - Hopefully Minor Problem

    My fault - Left station hooked up on a day it wasn't even supposed to rain. This one cloud comes by with some lightning in it and I must have taken a little finger strike to the antenna. Antenna, power supply and mobile radio - all no damage .... but the 703 was affected. I am just tired of...

    Yay !! KL 703 Hit By Lightning. Low Output

    I'm thinking it was a stray finger strike through the antenna and not the AC side. Power Supply and mobile radio hooked up suffered no damage.

    Yay !! KL 703 Hit By Lightning. Low Output

    One single cloud came by but did have some lightning in it. Was busy cooking dinner and let it ride. Took a hit. There was a brief burning smell. Was not turned on. Power supply and radio fine. It comes on but has low output. Will only key 20 and swing 100. Nothing looks burned. The 4 internal...

    Icom IC-746pro VFO skipping

    I've had 1 Pro (wish I still had it) and several diff orig. 746's and still use one now. Never had the Dial issue with any of them. On your Pro, don't forget to go into your Settings and Widen the SSB TX Bandwidth out. Will improve your audio-out.

    RM Italy KL 503 HD - Anybody ever use?

    Old Thread. Actually made a buy a couple of months ago - was still considering the 503 but the only Usual Suspects Dealer that carries them was Out of Stock. They did have some 703's so took one of those. Extremely happy with it.
