    the best feature of any roger beep, is that it can be disabled-permanantly. Most of the ids I hear with beeps, the beep is louder than the voice. How does that make sense?

    Silver Eagle?

    Chinese knock-off? Look for "Made in China" everywhere on the mic you can, maybe behind the battery. All D104 Eagles had chrome bases, in fact the whole thing was chrome. None of them had an outside volume control. Sort of why they were call "Silver."

    Spray-On Antenna Unveiled

    This might be a government program. "NOTE: ORDERS CAN ONLY BE PLACED WITH PROPER CREDENTIALS AND CAN ONLY BE PURCHASED IN SUPPORT OF US GOVERNMENT AGENCIES." Sounds covert. I need covert, I live in an apartment. I could spray the walls with it, but tuning the SWRs might be a bitch!
