I've had mine for a few years now. When I first got it I too noticed it getting a bit warm on 160M. I also noticed the roller wasn't as smooth as I thought it should be.
Inspecting the inside, I found the rear of the roller loose and the contact strip was a bit loose.
I don't remember what I...
I finally quit driving for a living.
I'm on 17M most mornings then bounce around through the day then 75M in the evenings around 3870 or 3873.

I had almost forgot about that junk radio, 257 I think.
Anyway It had been back to panther for warranty work then as I was talking to a truck behind me the thing got crappy again.
I was already in a bad mood and the radio went out the window driving down the Hiway.
I'll never forget the look...
I remember the .475 days, CDX948 Central Texas....... Lots of fun back then!
I don't even have a rig that will TX there anymore. I guess things change...............
I can't believe I still remembered my password!

I don't have internet access at home but I'll try and stop in when I can.

I've been wondering about Dean for a few months now. Well I don't have to wonder anymore since I know he beat us to the place we all hope to be some day. I think he did a lot for the hobby as far as bringing us together via the "Castle" and this forum, starting the CDX club AKA Chargers DX...
I had a FT-2800. It's a SWEET 2M rig! I only sold mine because I wanted a dual band/dual rx. The FT-8800 is a GREAT dualbander if you ever decide you want more than just 2M.
I just ran with the clipping and swing things you posted. :roll: Now that you have explained what you are really looking for, you've already got good advice from the other guys. I still say if it's SWING you want then the bungee cord trick will give you probably more than you were looking...
The 718 ain't no CB!! Just what were you thinking of "clipping/removing"??? Don't forget to add a power mic and echo. If you hang the 718 from a celing fan at home or if mobile from the roof with 18" bungee cords and shake the steering wheel back and forth you can get lots of SWIIIIING :lol:
I found the answer... "Publication of the R&O in the Federal Register starts a 30-day countdown for
the new rules to go on the books. Rules and regulations that appear in the
Federal Register constitute their official version. " See ya on 10M 2-23-07 and all bands 0n 2-24-07 with a CSCE :D
