I have made a 80m dipole (12 gauge insulated wire) and run 100W into it now. Because of my limited space it goes through a couple trees (not touching any branches unless the wind blows) and attaches to another tree with an insulator and kevlar rope. The end of the wire is about 2 feet from where...
I can seem to get the Quansheng software to communicate with my TG-UV2. USB drivers are correct and working, have check and have common Com Ports, tried Com port 2 first and then Com port 1. When I click on read data, I get a window that says "Read data from radio", there is a box below that...
I finally found out why I could not get the Quansheng programing software to run after I downloaded it. You have to re-name the file taking out all the Chinese characters and the . (period) between the Chinese characters and last bracket on the number [1] so it should read: TG-UV-D1[1].exe...

I will have my Amateur license the middle of February, test is scheduled for Technician and General.
Been wondering about which hand-held to get. Thinking of a multi-band and of course want the biggest band for the buck.
Looking forward to hearing your recommendations and the reason why.
Just noticed that H&Y Electronics has raise the price on the Gain Master! I bought one off their site on EBay for $129.95 and now it is $169.95 on EBay (still says they are out of stock till the middle of January) and $179.95 on their website.
I have ordered a GM and trying to get all the components to install it but I have a few questions.
At this point I will be installing the GM on a Rohn 9H50 on top of my roof, thanks to the encouragement of CDX-007. Is there any SWR adjustments on the GM? Do I need to ground the antenna or...
I am just starting to get back into CB's. I was really heavy into them in the 70's-80's. Had a Super Penetrator and a Moon Raker IV along with a Tempo One base and several different mobiles.
I am seriously thinking about purchasing a Gain Master and mounting it on a gable side of my house with...
