1. One of my uncles, bought me a set of single channel walkie talkies.
2. 1965
3. I don't remember the model of that walkie talkie, think it was a Hitachi but it was the first radio I every worked skip on.
I was on 17 today trying to work some POTA activators and heard some European stations trying to work the contest, guess they didn't get the word about which bands to use, or maybe there's another contest running this weekend?
I purchased one of those, works great except around 26-30 MHz. I'm getting what seems to be some kind of broadcast stations overloading the receiver when I connect it to my Windom antenna. Doesn't seem to happen if you use the little rabbit ears that came with the dongle. I'm guessing it's due...
I have RT Systems software for the 891, works great on Windows 10 & 11. It's much easier to program the memories and makes cloning to another 891 a breeze too.
Glad to see this side of the pond catching up to England and Europe, now all we need is for people to start using FM. Sure haven't been able to raise much interest here with the locals.
Just saw the youtube video on that rig, if it can do everything they show in that video it out to be an interesting rig. DC to daylight in the palm of your hand.
