Well.... It's not the usual USB conflicts, USB is working fine. The radio resets as the software attempts to read or write to the radio. The same happens if I try to clone as well, so it is not limited to the USB cable. And the LED light stopped working as well. I opened up the radio and...

A while back I found a site that would give you the coverage map of known repeaters in a specified area, you could also break it out by band. Does anyone know of a site like this?

Ok, I have a kenwood TM-D710 and a Diamond CR73B-NMO antenna, while the antenna works ok, I need it to work a little better. I am losing my local 2M repeater for the last 5 minutes or so of my communte. The CR73B-NMO has a gain of 2.15db on 2M and 5.3db on 70cm. I am not sure what it is in...

OK, I have used the EZ-NEC demo, and for a demo it is ok, but I think I am going to need more then what it will do to model some beams I would like to try out. What other modeling programs are there, that won't break the bank? And do any of them use some sort of graphical interface, such as...

We got this back in the late 80s maybe early 90s for the truck when we had a landscaping business. It helped get back to the 'base' when we were out working. I think it is 100W out, and we used it behind a 148GTL. Here are a few pictures. Thanks!

Ok, been 15+ years since I really used a CB, a cobra 148GTL, and that was basically for work purposes while landscaping. Was never really into the DX scene, but since getting my ham ticket, I got the bug. So... I figured I would give CB DX-ing a shot. I can't find my old 148 (in storage...

I'll ask this here as I think some forums would frown on this question, so Here goes. I put up a inverted Vee for 20M a few months back to do some DX on 20M, just reciently I was listening on 10M when 10-10 was running a contest, and found out the inverted Vee would load up with the internal...

OK, a question about traveling with a VHF/UHF radio. Does 2 Meter, or other bands, have a 'travel frequency' like CB has Ch19? I figured there is probably a fair number of 144/440 radios out there, some of them have to be driving around the country, right? I guess repeaters would work, but...

I am looking into getting a 144/444 dual band mobile with dual recieve and crossband repeater. What neighborhood I am looking at price wise. This would most likely be a used purchase, unless the Wouxun dual band mobile comes out soon, and it has dual band cross repeat.

I was wondering if there is a better flexible antenna for the Wouxun UV3D. I have the 144/444 version and would like a little better range. I am looking for something with a BNC mount as I have the BNC adapter . Thanks 73 John

Wanted: A wounded Heathkit SB-200 for a project / learning experience. I am looking for that SB-200 that you have shoved in a corner because it no longer works, it needs something, or you have moved on to something bigger. I am looking for a project amp to learn some basic tube amp...

I have been playing around with the UV3D for a few weeks, and while I am not disappointed with it, I am disappointed with the detachable speaker/mic. While the speaker output is fine, the audio from the mic is weak. I set up a FRS radio and used the UV3D to transmit on the FRS channel, while...

Which Wouxun to get, Band questions. I am looking at the Wouxun HTs and since both have 2M, the question comes down to, do I want 70cm or 1.25M as the second band? And is Powerwerx the best place to get them? Thanks John-KC2ZPK
