I've got a UV-5R and am curious to know if it might be practical to wire up, say an old CB mic I've got laying around to the Baoufeng. I think that the mic impedance of the H/T is significantly lower than the CB mic. The radio I believe is less then 5 ohms, maybe less than 3? And a CB mic is...

I've got a nice Pro 43 HH scanner ( I know, analog...) but I live in an area that has few trunking or digital APCO systems. My Pro 43 been showing it's age lately. Has anyone experienced failing CAPS in their older 43's? Specifically, my squelch has been opening up and giving me static where a...

Are the chipswitch processors being made anymore? Are they as rare as a NOS 2510/lincoln? Thanks for any info. greg

Came across this.......you be the judge gotta love fleabay

Anyone run an AX144/AR144 40ch AM SSB radio? I picked up one pretty cheap and seems to do OK. Great receive and has good NB/ANL. BUT there's some rust internally on the chassis (not the PCB thankfully) and the vol/sql pot has broken off due to rust and the speaker sounds blown. Would it be worth...

Hello I came across this on fleabay SWR Meter and see that you can do basic SWR readings (no power) and has 2 PL259s for 2 antennas and one for the radio with a switch. I was wondering if it could be used in reverse, 2 radios and 1 antenna. Would running it backwards damage the swr circuit...

Has anyone used or heard anything good or bad about the HS 200RE hand held scanner? It's a 200 ch scanner that is geared to the NASCAR race-fan group of people. I think it was custom made for a web-seller that catered to the race fans. It is based on a variation on this Strong Signals - RELM...

What makes a M+3 "special?" I've never heard of a M+3 Special, only the usual versions of that mic. And nothing noted on this page about a "special" version of an M+3. Any tips out there? 73s, Thanks Greg

Hello all! I am in the market for a new RCI 2950dx or 2970n2. I am leaning towards the 2950dx since I don't need all those watts from a N2, and the 2950dx is more wallet friendly, so if anyone has a shop on-line they can recommend, I'd appreciate the input. I am also considering buying a DX979...

Came across this cool site giving a history of the Turner Microphone company, Turner Mics and thought I'd share. 73's Greg

Turner Mic Has a strange head on it.

I've got several Astatic mics that take 9volt batteries and wondering if anyone else has used lithium 9v batteries in their mics. I've got an ultralife in my D104M6 and seems to be working well, an alkaline 9v in my 575M6 that's about a year old, but will be replacing it with another...

I've got a TRC 457 that's got some AC hum while RX'ing. Is this a symptom of failing caps in the AC/DC stage of the transformer? What I've noticed is that when I am bench testing a mobile radio in my shack (12VDC on a regulated PS) on my base antenna and no antenna on the 457 and RF gain turned...
