Can anyone tell me who made this 16 element 2 meter beam and maybe a model number. It was purchased from a Hamfest many years ago. It has to be 30+ years old easy as I have had it close to 20 years. I used it for a couple of years and then gave up the hobby. For over a decade it just spun...

I have searched this site and not found what I am looking for. Maybe not reading far back enough? I don't know? Any help would be appreciated! I have been using my 2 meter rig with a homemade copper "J" pole with no problems for 7-8 months now. Got a HF rig and set up a 5/8 wave ground...

Just picked up a Yaesu FT-840 today at a nice price. It has little quirks that I can live with. Can someone steer me in the way of hooking up my silver eagle to it. The mod is good with the hand held, but I just don't like holding the mike as I am using the radio as a base station. Thanks...

I have the chance to buy a such a rig. Good price and it comes from a friends son. Seems like it has a cold solder joint or something? Starts ok then display goes nuts and after 15 minutes or so is ok as long as it is left on after some "haggling" with the unit. Now is my chance to get into...

Things have been in the plans for some days now. We were told 2, then 1 and today 3. I was hoping for NONE! To simply go back Home and not have to do this. But I did. You see, what I am referring to here, is visiting sick children in the hospital. They were mild cases but none the less...

Hi all. I spoke to Doc a couple of months ago and would like to send him my President. His Web site is not working? Would any of you have his toll free number written down so I could call him to make arrangements? Reply here or PM would be appreciated. tracker.

I have been doing quite a bit of reading here and wanted to ask a question. Maybe the answer is on this forum but have dug and did searches with no luck. I'm in Eastern Ontario, Canada. and looking to buy a new 2 meter mobile antenna with a "mag mount", and would like suggestions. I would...

I read there is to be free-space when mounting the antenna to a mast. The construction of the antenna would be 1/2 copper pipe. Does this apply to PVC or ABS pipe or metal only? Would like to build one for travel. Thanks, tracker.

I'm using an CB SWR meter on my 2 meter rig. (all I have) How accurate can I count on this unit for my 2 meter? SWR is SWR right? Please correct me if not so. If not a + - average would be appreciated!! tracker.

Hi all. New to this forum. By what I have read tonight, here might be the place where I can get some good advice. I have an old President HR2510 that was made in Taiwan before they were reportedly moved to China to mfg.? Don't know if this makes any difference on my question? This thing has...
