    Elecraft K3

    I hold an out of band license with ECOM and some of the frequencies out of band are scaled down to low power even though there is a 500 watt restriction. I want to take the radio from 10-20 watts to 100 watts like on the ham bands. Is there some kind of software modification to lift it from...

    Worked Japan Yesterday On 10 Meters

    I was hoping it would come in agn but no good here on the east coast. Japan was clipping an s-7 on the meter. This reminds me of the 70's. My Imax 2000 at 13 foot pole did the job when it came in. Cool stuff.

    What's A Good Antenna To Use

    What's a good antenna to use on the 75 meter CB band? I need something to walk the dog and drop the maul. My Drake amp puts out like a walkie talkie. I can't get my signal to go around the world once to hear my own echo. I'm lucky to get across the pond.

    High End Audio and Power Question

    How do these stations with these EQ's sound so good and are so far away when they run "wide"? I have a built in EQ and if I use ESSB to get that nice sound, my signal gets buried in the noise even running 1500 watts over long distances. If I turn off the ESSB and run SSB, the stations hear me...

    Where's The F.C.C?

    Tonight I am listening to 3927.0 and heard stations using the f*** word, and other words like suck ***** ***k. All kind of foul language. On the other parts of the 75 meter band, it is getting like this too. Is the 75 meter band turning into a 75 meter cb band where you hear call signs from...

    ADT False Alarms and Amplfiers???

    Anyone know of any cases where an amplifier can set off fire alarms? One of the neighbors had two false alarms in one week and ADT said that the system was old and upgraded them. They said it was old wiring and replaced the units. I am not sure if I caused the RFI but it is a little strange the...
