I see the 590 has an extra RX antenna port on it. Does anyone know if this is an in or an out? Wondering if it would be possible to hook a second rx to this port and share the main antenna the 590 is using in rx mode. Also does the 590 have a dual watch feature?

Anyone here run 17 mobile? I hear a lot of stations mobile on that band. Even heard two mobiles, one on west coast other on east coast talking one night. Just picked up a "Hamstick" type mobile antenna for that band at a local hamfest. Thing is huge, looks to be 10 feet or more. Will hook to...

These look pretty cool. I ordered one that I am going to put on 6 meters. There are a few sites on the web that let you remote control these things. Kits available here, and they are not very expensive: Five Dash Inc. Your Source for SoftRock Radio Kits Anyone here got one of these?

My amp has about 70% reflected power on 80M. When just running Kenwood tranceiver, 2%. That can only mean one thing. The darn amp is putting out harmonics "somewhere". A check with a grid dip meter shows the tank circuit is resonant on the 2nd harmonic, more so than on the intended 80M...

I don't want to sound condescending here, please don't take it that way. I think the reason most folks have poor results on these bands is due to poor antenna systems. So, I will give some advice in that regard. Back when I first got on 6 meters, up in Ohio, I was in high school. I had an...

Looking for something. Tried a Motorola mobile speaker, did not like it. What I DID like is the Boston Acoustics off my stereo system, WOW! Don't want to loose my stereo speakers though. Thinking of going to Radio Scrap and see what kind of inexpensive stereo speakers they have. What are you...

I operate my 480 primarily on 6 meters. I do not have any of the optional filters installed. I am wondering if purchasing the optional 1.8 khz, will help on weak signal work. QRM is not much of a problem for most of the year, but I wonder if having the filter will help sensitivity on 6, by...
