Head unit on the dash, radio and tuner are under the passenger seat.

I bought a used Icom 7100 last month. I installed it in my car. Up until last week it worked great. I have a Sirio 5000 11/10m antenna (and have an antenna tuner). On 11m it transmits full power. On 10m it seems to be about 10 to 15% power. What did I do?? Thanks!

Last night I finished off my mobile install. I had been gathering all the bits and pieces the last couple months. The box and antenna tuner are under the passenger seat. What you see in the pic is the had unit and a BHI noise cancelling speaker in the cubby under the stereo. Not sure I'm in...

So, I transcribed an article from S9 Magazine into something I hoped would be more readable. I hope you enjoy. If you have any other good scans of old articles you want cleaned up, please let me know and I'll get it done! Maybe we can save some CB history by doing this... so please do reach...

Yaesu FT-1000MP Mark V Field with MARS mod complete! I'm stuck in a condo with no room for an HF antenna and it is just sitting. It is a wonderful radio... and a true modern day boat anchor! Has original owners manual, original box, notes from the original owner. Double boxed. Comes with MC-60...

Well, I picked up two nice MC-60 Kenwood mics under the impression they'd work on my Yaesu. THEY DON'T!! hahaha Anyone explain where to find a good rewire chart? Thanks!!!

So my good ol' Quad 6 has stopped working. When I key up, it looks like I'm keying and unkeying rapidly, about twice a second. Chunk chunk chunk chunk. It is unmodified and I've tried a brand new mic and it didn't change things. I've reset it via the software. Any ideas?

OK, my trusted friend and radio nuts! I get to splurge. My AT 6666 is down and pending its repair (if it can be repaired) and relegation to backup, I have the opportunity to splurge on a new radio. My car is SMALL so I usually run it on the seat and stow it when not in use. I love the 6666 and...

Hello! My beloved Quad 6 finally has its first problem. After neigh on 5 years of mobile abuse, dropped, stored, sloshed around... it will not fully key up. Receive and everything else seems fine. At first I thought it may be the mic itself so I put my spare on there but did not change the...

I have an Icom 7200 and would like to find an antenna tuner. It doesn't have to be max power supportive but I'd like up to 500 watts? I'm not too familiar with antenna tuners, so if this is a stupid request, apologies!

So my girlfriend's son "Mr. Brownstone" (10 years old) is really interested in radio so I'm getting him checked out on the station. There is a local YouTube channel that broadcasts channel 17 in real time which is kinda fun. So, Mr. Brownstone was chatting in the YouTube room and one of the...

Anyone else design their own QSL card? I think I’m done and here’s the first version!

Anyone have any thoughts on this? I need to wire a mic for it, but it plugs in and powers up - I suspect it will work! Any diagrams would be welcomed, any memories too!

So, I just put up a Sirio Tornado a few weeks back and worked Japan, Australia and Brazil in addition to tons of southern US stations. This past weekend, I left my radio on (just receive) for about 8 hours and when I came back, the first time I keyed up the radio (AM) was down on the meter from...

I have had my Icom 7200 for a year now, and would like to put up something like in the shack. (This is a local 45 Kilo, who has his streaming live on YouTube most of the time. I believe he's on one of the islands in Puget Sound. My 7200 has a USB connector in the back, so all I really need to...

Any Icom nerds out there? I picked up a very slightly used 7200 with power supply and mic for $500 a couple months back and finally am getting it set up. My question is, when I see people asking about what radio to get for their first HF I see a lot of Icom 7100 and 7300 but rarely a mention of...

So, I was gifted a pretty cool HF rig (my first one). I want to set up the mic (it is new in box) but the adjuster on the mic seems open ended! I see it bottoms out when you turn all the way to the left but there is no way to tell what the heck one is adjusting when opening up. Can someone...

Just had a QSO with WWDX 31 Ogden on 27.385 Lower! If you see this I can send audio QSL. Best, 213 Adam Renton, WA
