    40m mobile question

    Ham sticks, while not the best they are clearly not "dummy loads", I ran them for years before going to a High Serria Side Kick screw driver. To nfsus, the type of mount will be just as important as the antenna itself. The down side of running ham sticks is bandwidth, a ham stick will not cover...

    The Mocats

    I was involved on eleven meters from 1973 through 1990, and even though I owned a lot of radios back then, there were some I never got to hear or use. A few of them I’ve always been curious about—how they actually performed in the real world. One of those is the Motorola Mocat series. I know and...

    Stryker 955 Issue

    Home Tidradio TD-H3 Plus VHF/UHF Handheld Review

    Honestly, I really hope they addressed the issues the H3 had—especially the lack of a proper voltage regulator. I’ve never been a fan of the H3.
