Hey all, I'm highly considering this Alinco DR-635T mobile rig as my next upgrade step in HAM. I exclusively want to use this at my base station, in my house, hooked up to power from my house. Obviously this radio is not designed to do this, so wondering what I need to do short of buying a...

Hi all, I've had my Wouxun KG UV3D for about three years now, and am looking to upgrade to probably a mobile or a base station unit. Something that is 2M/440 with 30 to 50 watts of power. I'm curious if a mobile or base station radio will need to have a dedicated "crossband" function, or if...

Recently I have been having this radio reset on me. Once it did it in the middle of transmitting, the other two times it did it when I powered it up after using the PC cable to input freqs. Has anyone had this issue with this radio before, or figured out if it is a component failure?

I am looking for a mobile unit I could use as a base station, I already have the antenna for a base station, but really want more power than the 5W on my handi talkie. Been looking online, looks like the cheapest ones out there are still about $250. Was hoping for something a little less, say...

I have a Wouxun KG UV3D which is limiated to 5 watts. I was talking to someone on the repeaters the other night who said he had a 2A handitalkie which he had amplified to 20A? Wondering if this was done with power, or an antenna amplifier, or how he got the extra punch for his radio..his signal...

Hey all, I got a 2M/440 base station antenna for my birthday last year and am looking into buying a base station rig for it. Right now I just have a handi talke, but it seems to help a great deal. Was wondering, if I get a base station rig, is it possilbe to use my current handi talke to...

Hey all, I recently moved from SoCal to Oklahoma City, and while there is a repeater I can reach here in OKC, it is so very faint that I can not seem to make the connection. Wondering what kind of an antenna I could find in the area that would be cheap and allow me to hit some more...

Hey everyone, Just moved to OKC from Socal, and was using the win system out there. Can't seem to find a repeater that can get me into the win system out here in Oklahoma City, OK. Does anyone know a freq and PL code to get me in? Thanks

Hey all, I've had a Wouxun radio for about a month now, had the WinSystem and Catalina repeaters set in memory and have been able to talk on them in the past, but recently, as of a few days ago, whenever I transmit no one seems to be receiving me. These channels are in memory so no settings...

Can someone explain if the MARS system is still active and how I would go about accessing it as an amateur operator? I live in Orange County, CA

Hey all Passed my tech exam, got the little paper cert which says it is not my official license. Went online to the FCC site and can print a reference copy, again not an official license. Just wondering if I ever do get an "official" from the FCC license showing I have my HAM license? Thanks

Hey all, I bought a Wouxun KG-UV3D hand held antenna, and while I am very pleased with it, many online and on the air have talked about getting a better antenna. Just wondering what the pros think is a cheap antenna which won't be super super long and they have had good experiences with for...

Hey all, Brand new to HAM, just got my callsign a few days ago. Curious about something with repeaters. I live in Socal and have found chatter on 147.090, which according to the internet is a Catalina Island repeater. I can hear them, but they can not hear me, even though some of the ones...

Hey All, Just bought a Wouxon KG-UV3D and so far love it. Trying to figure out how to store a specific frequency into channel memory. I have it figured out for the FM radio, but not the actual channel. Thanks
