I like radios with good sensitivity and adjacent channel rejection. What I've mentioned (with the exception of the Royce rigs) were at the top of the heap "back in the day". Check out the JRC NRD/NSD-515 twins. Same philosophy as the Browning and Demco twins. If JRC would have offered a type...

And let us not forget the Echo Charlie band...

TRS Challenger 1200 and 1400 Stoner Pro-40 (have a couple plus several accessories) CPI CP400/2000/2500 - the only accessory I don't have is the scope Whistler 900 - the dual receive is neat Royce 624/625/639/641/642 Hondaline transceivers for various GL1500s JMCB-2003s for my sport tourers I...

Belarus is a puppet state of Russia. I'd expect nothing less from that outfit.

Can they get the "1-1-1-1..." jackass who continually renders Ch38 unusable? That's been going on for ages.

ULS is still up. I just searched my GMRS call with it.

This reply is going to get a bit convoluted. So bear with me. If you're monitoring a handful of known frequencies there are many options to choose from. Searching the entire air band - especially the UHF Mil allocation - gets into some specialized hardware, software and techniques. There are 4...

I had such a gig right out of high school (when the "boom" was in full swing). It got one invited to lots of interesting places, parties and whatnot - and was (to keep things polite) a license to print girlfriends at times. Fast forward to nowadays, and being a guru in things PC: You can't pay...

I ran mine (2510) mobile in the early 90s with a 1/4w whip on the bumper. Worked Africa and Europe on the way to work; AP on the way home. The occasional trip south put the vehicle in the right orientation to work LATAM. Never bothered to send the cards in but DXCC was like shooting fish in a...

I have the whole stack: HR-2510 HR-2600 Original Lincoln HTX-100 One of these days I'm going to fire up my CAD program, design a set of side plates to mount 1, 2, 3 or 4 of them then send the files off to a laser cutter for a set of each. We have "President's Day" on our local 10M net from...

I'll start: TS-130V (modified filter setup), TS-660. Kissing cousins in appearance. FT-726R w/ HF module - 15, 12, 10M FM/SSB/CW. IC-703+. I have a few others but 95+% of my QRP work is done with these. One of my 703s can be mounted on one of my motorcycles.

In this neck of the woods we have Ch32 (Akron), Ch14 (Wooster/Orrville and surrounding areas), Ch21 (Massillon vicinity) and a bunch from Mansfield/Bellevue who occasionally park of Ch19 and piss off the truckers. I've just described a roughly 50mi radius circle. No SSB to speak of except for...

I'd like to see that happen. Whether or not it'll gain traction in a given area is hugely dependent on the number of 11M-active folks in said area AND the number of those with FM-capable radios. Further reduce that by those who aren't interested in broadcast-quality audio but instead want the...

A Pro-810E is what ye seek if it must be Uniden.

Since we don't have a dedicated sub-forum for these topics, this thread can be a catch-all for questions, comments and whatnot. Mods, if it gets enough traction then please sticky it. I'll start: Hamclock is a neat little application which shows an active day/night gray line display overlaid...

A member on another forum built a tunable loop and put it on the inside of his truck's fiberglass cap. This worked well for 40M NVIS. I'm thinking about doing same. My truck has an 8ft bed and they make cargo racks which go atop the caps. They cover almost the entire thing. Put the tuning box...

I have one of those plus its little brother the 1200 (AM only). 1400 needs the AC power switch replaced. TM86 might attest that this setup is...fidgety. Also found a tighter filter for the 1200. I'll swap it in at some point and see how it performs compared to stock. Was one of my "grail" CB...

I'd like to see US hams get 4M (70.0-70.5MHz) but a 1MHz wide general service allocation in lower VHF would be neat. As others have mentioned, though, too many current Mil/LE/Utility users for this to get traction.

I did something slightly different: Found several R/S 19-1210 MURS mobiles and a bunch of Motorola Spirits. Put one of my scanners (Pro-2035 w/ OptoScan board, running Probe v7) to work looking at all the MURS frequencies and aggregating hits per channel, PL tones in use, etc. Based on that I...

I prefer the older analog stuff. Cubic Astros, KW TS-530/830/930S/940S, JRC of various stripes, Yaesu 102, 90x and 980, Ten Tecs ranging from the Corsair II through the Paragon II. The ONLY drawback with some of these is Inrad exiting the filter market for the most part. If you want to go back...
