Really want to baffle the easily confused? Put up a 15-10M log periodic. Use it on either service with equal facility.

The directional antenna rule shouldn't even make it into the proposal, and the 155.3-mile limit should be eliminated altogether. There's not enough usage to justify an expansion of frequencies and as far as the rest of the Class D service is concerned, it's fine as-is. No need to impose...

If I ever encounter Todd on the air I'll need to restrain myself from asking him if he's Filipino... ...as he certainly puts the "DU" in dumbass.

Please let this station in a box offer 222 and 902 - possibly 1.2GHz - modules in addition to 6/2/432.

Another gem from the same seller: TRAM D300 AM/SSB /D104 MIC/SUPER CLEAN ALL ORIGINAL/1ST CLASS PERFORMER | eBay All one has to do is to throw a few "whilsts" and "One owner from new!s" into that ad copy and it would read exactly like Radio-Mart's stuff did.

I wonder how many people have done so...and what good (if any) came of it. Ebay's "buyer is always right" policy - by virtue of its construction - is absolutely ripe for abuse. But as long as they keep getting their cut...

I really like MMSSTV. Have a couple others installed on the (now-crashed :headbang ) rig-control PC (which I have to rebuild this week).

Here's a pic of another lately completed project. It's my workshop/reloading-room station. In the late 70s, Swan introduced the "Astro" series of transceivers - a twin-PTO-tuned, 6-band fixed-station unit (the 102BX) and a fully synthesized, 5-band mobile/fixed SSB/CW transceiver. The latter...

I've actually done that on some Drake (Kurz-Kasch) knobs on occasion and it does work well. There is a liquid automotive finishing compound called "NicSand" which incorporates 10,000-grit particles and it'll do a nice job too. Those inserts concern me - not sure how delicate the paint is and...

I'm a member of that group - joined a couple months ago - and plan to post these along with details and pics of a few other accessories when I get them finished. In particular: The BC2000 and FC70. There's an Achilles Heel with the display driver and reference oscillator circuitry which I...

Misrepresentation at the very least. Won't Ebay kick an unscrupulous seller such as that off their site? ETA: After reading this thread in its entirety, "collusion" would be a better term for what's occurring. There's no way in hell the people at both Ebay and PayPal can be that stupid.

When you're not actually on the air (or have a spare, stable receiver) tune in 6925USB and set your SSTV program to capture whatever it demodulates. Lots of SWBC pirates use that frequency for their programs. Many of them send an E-O-T QSL via slow-scan.

...welcome to the "What-If?" department: Turner OEMmed a couple mics for CPI (the DM-1 and a mobile mic), and I had few beat-halfway-to-hell Super Sidekicks and +3s in Ye Olde Junque Box...so what can we make from them? A candidate +3 was disassembled, cleaned and shot with the same paint...

The '400: This one also required a good cleaning, case repaint and alignment...plus a meter replacement. Additionally, the speech processor circuit was out to lunch: A coupling cap which fed audio from the mic amp to the clipper decided it didn't want to cooperate, was found out and eventually...

Next, the '2000 itself. This rig required a good cleaning both inside and out, a re-paint of the covers and the speaker grille...which was a little challenging without removing the front decal. Knobs were removed and cleaned with soapy water and left to dry while the rest of the radio was...

Finished up a few projects which I wanted to share with the WWDX crew, as both of the radios shown in the thread came from one of the members. First off, a complete view:

STONER PRO-40 Tranceiver and Stoner SPK-40 SPEAKER CB-Sideband Professional | eBay As proud as you may be of your callsign, DON'T write such on a piece of gear that you hope to sell some day - especially if it's collectible.

That the guy who currently has a Stoner Pro-40 up on Ebay?

There's a Superbase floating around with a Buy-it-Now price of $949...

Are they standard Molex .062" connectors? If so, Digi-key, Mouser and a number of other electronics supply houses carry them.
