    HT Radios w/Wideband Receive

    I would have to agree,the kenwood th-f6a is the choice in this case since it is able to receive ssb. But as others have mentioned it's going to be a rough idea of what a really good receiver would be. I've heard the selectivity on those really lack from my boss. He's had two of them so far. n9zas

    FT-60 met the ground

    I'm sorry to hear it took a dive,but before all you give up try doing a hard reset to clear everything out. It may help,because it sometimes works on vx-5r's when they take a ride. n9zas

    HT antenna, host of questions...

    Have you compared the size,feel, and performance of the vx-8 to the vx-7r ? I have a replacement diamond on my vx-7r (black) and it's built like a rock! I thought about the vx-8 but I'm not sure I would have a need for the gps feature. I've read some reports about battery fitting issues on the...

    SIRIO SD-27 Dipole

    I don't dispute that you do have some valid points,only that the cash that thing costs is almost 3 times what it costs to build one! I've been building my own antennas,some of which I still use since '87. n9zas

    Icom IC-T70A Review

    Does the T70 have a low power setting? That might keep it from getting so hot. It looks a lot like some commercial icom portables we have at work. n9zas

    wave help

    During a warm air temp inversion it is possible to talk for hundreds of miles on vhf and even uhf. Warm evenings then cooling down enough at night to create fog in the morning is an ideal time for this to happen. n9zas
