I would love to reclaim 16 lower side. I have three really good side band 23 channel radios one is a Johnson 352 that I put brand new for like $340 or something like that and I have two Lafayette side band radio they don’t work as good as the Johnson but the Johnson here is really good talks...

There’s a few companies that make frequency counters that aren’t a lot of money that work off 12 V do you just use a power supply to operate run at your house and see what the frequencies are they’re all different. There’s a lot of different mods and some guys just put crystals in them or did a...

Well, if you lived over here on the East Coast in the New York suburban area, you can hear a whole bunch of European people, and Texas and Oklahoma anytime I turn the radio on at certain times of the day. They’re always there. Sorry that you’re in an area, it’s kind of dead. I can understand...

50 years old Royce? You’ll never find a radio today that had the quality parts as the Royce did.

I remember my 5555 being off a little bit and I changed it through the menu on the display in the front like exactly where it would be on frequency if that’s what you’re looking for

Something I did wanna share I forgot about my last comment, try to keep the voltage around 13 or so I was running mine at like 14.5 trying to get the most out of the amplifier and all it did was fry the finals. I talk on sideband 99% of the time and it’s still fried the finals. My Radio Guy was...

I have used switching power supplies for about 10 years. The earlier ones I got were noisy but didn’t realize it right away so I just used them to run other stuff. Just recently I bought 100 switching power supply so I could run everything I have on one amp and it works fantastic. If you buy...

I have a ground plank kit on mine too, and I think it makes a difference

Well, I know there’s some kind of formula for a full wavelength or something like that but in my experience height is might if I was you I buy another 10 foot section for the tower. Don’t use any more pipe because that’ll be a weak point if you get a windstorm. I have a three-story house with a...

Well, I guess it depends where you are in the middle of New Jersey. There’s some guys north of me some guys west of me they’re not on all the time but in the morning skips definitely rolling.

I have one. It’s a version six and I think that has to be more than 10 years old and it still works really good. Good luck. I hope you find the issue.

When I was in the Air Force, the Delaware State police used to monitor channel 9

I would check the SWR and if it’s OK, just leave it alone and use it. I got an old Hy Gain antenna that I use. I have had it up since the 80s and it still works very well. I changed the coax about two or three years ago because SWR’s were going up and I realized it was water intrusion in the...

I paid $20 in 1973 KSU 6347 I live in New Jersey, so I don’t know if that anything to do with location as Ham Radio call signs to today

I’ve heard a couple people checked into it and seems there seems to be no record whatsoever. I can’t believe that, but that’s what I was told.

Out of all the stock mics that I have used or owned the handheld mic for the Yaesu 101 radio is fantastic. Everybody tells me that the audio is great.
