Anybody have one of these or similar you're not using and want to sell?

Have new setup here. Different radio for more power - Untimely demise of antenna due to water incursion and corrosion in the guts so new antenna as well. Everything seemed basically okay but experienced a bit higher SWR in places and varying power levels than expected. Was fixed with the last...

So after 5 years of being beaten around by storms etc ..... my Sigma Venom from the guys in England developed an SWR. Limping along with it for now until replacement arrives as I have a tuner which is making the match fine and protecting the radio. Happy with the Venom otherwise so I was going...

I am helping a local friend out who is having medical issues and selling some things to raise money. I will be getting a NIB never hooked up RCI 2970Dx N4. This is the 450 Watts+ one that sells for $800 everywhere. Has the uninstalled E Chip in the accessories bag. Will offer it up here and to...

So Tony at Zero 5 Antennas is making, by Special Order Request, is making what he's calling the Colossal 4, and it's his version of the Sigma-Vector 3/4 Vertical with the Ice Cream Cone GP Basket. All super-heavy duty aluminum with stainless steel hardware. Claiming 30K Watts. Price shipped is a...

There is a very neat Worldwide Net which meets daily in the afternoons (North America) for the purpose of Checking Propagation on the upper HF Bands to your area. It is a fast-paced Round Table with various Net Controllers taking check-ins and gives every station a chance to call out and see who...

So my recent attempted purchase of a Radioiddity QT80 on ebay for $200 has fallen through. I got concerned after the seller didn't ship after 4 days. When he finally responded he discovered .... which he should have known .... that being a newer seller with less than their prerequisite number of...

I've been looking there occasionally for a few things recently and am surprised / not surprised to see so many fewer listings with people running away in horror I guess. Especially with ham rigs .... you could look for a model and find dozens of them listed and now it's one or 2. I know I don't...

Realize this is a bit late but just thought of it. Enormous disaster relief effort going on in North Carolina being very much headed up by hams and many others. They are using the Mount Mitchell repeater (6,800 ft) 145.190 that has a reach into 5 states. Vicki Carnes, AD3I is doing Yeoman's Work...

The local GMRS folks have me thinking about joining. In my area, they have built a Linked Network that covers 1/3 of a large state. Corner to corner is at least 150 miles maybe 175. That's an impressive stretch to be able to communicate going in on your nearest repeater with an HT .... and talk...

And Baofeng to you too buddy :LOL:

Hi guys, In my area we have a Group-Owned Linked GMRS Repeater network that covers a huge area. Some of the machines use PL tones while a few use the so-called "Wouxun" CTS tones that read like D023N - which is Code #1 on the list. The repeater nearest me is one that uses these stated tones. I...

My saga continues. Wanting to open up the permissions (MARS/CAP) mod on my 2023 TYT9800. Still haven't finished trying - have one more Software Set to try when a friend can make time to come over with his Windows laptop and try it for me. In the meantime, I wrote back in and asked them if they...

RX Only Wideband - but ready to go out of box 18mhz~ 1.3Ghz. For those who don't have the capability to reprogram themselves. https://www.ebay.com/itm/335425604138?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5336136228&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1

Hi guys, One of these days I'll break down and buy a PC Laptop to use for Chiner Radio Programming but not doing yet. Yeah I'm in the computer age and all but use an iMac desktop. I have a local ham friend who tries to do this stuff for me but he stays super busy with work & family and hard to...

Hi Group, Was given a China Chicago Tool 2000/4000W inverter today that doesn't work. Can anyone suggest common failures for these things .... some places to start looking? Haven't been inside it. I'll look for blown protection diodes on the input in case it got hooked up backwards. Any other...

Just seeing if anyone has any ideas. Is new TH 9800 (not plus) apparently a 2023 model. Very experienced friend came over to help. IT Engineer he is. Very experienced programming all kinds of radios including Motorolas etc .... Had a PC laptop factory Windows 10. Downloaded SW at Raddiodity...

Maybe I'm missing it in the manual. Is there a Function for Repeater Reverse? To Monitor for direct signal reception on a Repeater Input? Not seeing that on my 9800 yet.

I did a search and didn't see any recent posts on this one so I thought I'd start a fresh one. By choice I'd gone all my ham life since 1993 having only 2 meters as a base or mobile. I figured I'd have all the talking I wanted to do on 2M and dual band radios cost twice as much and the antennas...
