There is nothing on their website that makes any claims like that. Sounds like this JUSTIN character just wants to stir things up for FGBest. I know from talking to people that knew Bill Good that this is not what he was looking for in tuning radios. Besides there in no modification info listed...

Tommy, You must have them confused with someone else. If you go to their website you won't see anything about that kind of power output from a Cobra 29. Go check them out at www.fgbestcommunications.com . Bill Good had a reputation of a very fine technican. I know of a lot of guys on 27.475...

I passed the element 1 morse code exam today and upgraded to General. I would recommend Code Quick to any one wanting to learn the code. I started on Mon the 26th of Jan. and I passed the test today with flying colors. Hope to catch my old 11 meter friends on HF real soon. (hint hint, Happy...

If you want to go 5/8 wave you will have to put a matching coil on the bottom as 5/8 wave is not a resonant length. If yu read my first post you would see that I said odd multiples of 1/4 wave lengths. So try 58 inches and work form there. That would be 3/4 wave. Hope this helps fasteddy </p>

Just make it any odd multiples of 1/4 wave lenghts (1/4, 3/4, 11/4 etc....). 1/4 wave length is roughly 19.25 inches, so just figure out the closest lenght to 102 and go from their. fasteddy </p>

Most any of the Internet radio stores can sell you a mic for the radio. Just call them and tell them what radio you want the mic wired for. fasteddy </p>

Well, I found a rig that was less than one year old, has the DSP installed, TCXO (high stability frequecy oscilator, are HAPPY HAMER <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/roll.gif...

I have a Pyramid PhaseIII 20 amp power supply that every time you turn on the switch it blows the fuse. Any pointers on where to start? I thought maybe the rectifier circuit might be bad, but I have no way to tell. Thanks fasteddy </p>

Re: ALERT ALERT FASTEDDY!!!!! I read ALL the reviews on eham, and it looked to me like the early models had some stability problems and that they have been dealt with and remedied. fasteddy </p>

Well it looks like I will be making the pluge here shortly. Man these radio decisions are hard to make. Thanks to all who replied. fasteddy<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"> </p>

Well I ordered the CD set today myself. I have tried learning the old fashoined way and my hearing was just not up to the challenge. I hope to pass Element 1 on the 14th of Feb. fasteddy<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"> </p>

Lets see Ten-Tec makes a 2 meter to 6 meter transverter. Wouldn't that just be slick, ahh but then........ more antennas<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"> . Mike maybe you and I could make the connection sometime. Is there a Megalink repeater...

Well I know now that it is possible for me and my friend who lives 200 miles away to talk on 2 meter SSB. My Ham neighbor and him were able to talk back and forth on 50 watts apiece. So hello HRO and thank you Providian<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/tongue.gif...

You are right about the antenna system, it has got to be up to the task. Like I said before I have a 10 element Cushcraft that seems to be a very good antenna. 220ft is not bad for a repeater antenna, bur how abot 11,700 ft. Man out here in Colorado mountain top repeaters really give great...

Well I have done more checking and reading. Seems this radio gets a pretty good bill of health. Now if I ca just find one at a garage sale for $100 LOL<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> <img...

Hey BILL and STU, All those radios that you mentioned, except the TS2000, only offer 50 watts on ssb and I want at the least 100. I have a friend that lives over 200 miles and we both want to be able to talk SSB simplex and I believe we can. The TS2000 is more than I am willing to pay, although...

General, HELL, I'm going for the EXTRA<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"> . Thats a great idea Bill, I might just do that. I have a friend that has a 706 I...

Would like to know if anyone is currently using one of these or has used one in the past. I want to get int SSB on these bands and most of the used high power equipment selld for way more than I want to pay for used. I am seriously considering this rig but I would like to get opinions on it...
