    Word that Fox and CNN plan 24/7 Trump news coverage channels

    in the next few weeks there are plans for a dedicated 24/7 Trump news coverage channels on cable/directv one from CNN and one from Fox. I guess ratings are so high that extra channels are needed. I dont think even Trump dreamed he would get this much media exposure.

    Video/review of the revolutionary Icom-7300 Software defined Export CB

    I have been testing out the Icom IC-7300 Export radio for about 2 weeks now and so far it has impressed me over any other radio I have used. It is the best AM modulation I have heard out of any Export radio that has crossed my bench. Sideband is superb as well Zero drift with its 0.5 PPM TXCO...

    RM Italy KL-503 woah! is stock CB safe?

    At setting of 2 I am using 20 amps and pushing average 100w using the Dawia meter I could feel the amp get slightly warm. Is it being pushed too hard? I am using a stock Cobra 29LTD dont want to risk this amp. I am getting copy from crane operators far out from my location. they were actually...

    Curious I wonder how many sales of Ham equipment goes for Out of band use.

    With less people getting into Ham radio (New generation more interested in social media and video games) every sale counts. I wonder how much equipment sold is really for out of band use. I have seen plenty of Amateur radio equipment doing duty as Marine HF, LMR(ie contractors,NGO firms) in...

    Can the Acom 600S amp operate on 11 meters? Is there a hidden setting or some wire you can clip like on the old Ameitron tube amps?

    Any Yaseu FT-450D export radio users?

    For 679 dollars it seems like a super nobrainer? I ordered one for my shack. looking forward to running it through its paces. Lets see. 679 bucks you get FM (IC-7200 does not do FM) with tone squelch, IF DSP, 10khz roofing filter, 100w pep and an antenna tuner! Final note, unit has a TXCO...

    FCC should just open up 11meters as a Citizens experimental band.

    no one uses it except CB. At this point why not just open it legally and allow people to use Ham equipment to operate on the band. Ham radios are clean and dont splatter etc.. and it would give people a chance to get a taste of working HF and might get them into getting a Ham license and operate...

    The QJE model PS50SWIII 50 amp switching powersupply.

    165 dollars on amazon. I also own a SEC 1235M that has been a solid power supply but needed a 50 amp unit for a future amp coming in. While I wait I switched over to this unit and attached it to my IC-7410 radio. I am impressed so far, quiet no noise on HF, The fan never kicks in even under...

    Anyone own a RM Italy HLA-300V plus?

    They seem like a nice compact amp and rated for 300W, 550pep SSB. I am a bit skeptical about those numbers, I am thinking on 200W AM pep, 100w dead key realistically. Anyone use one what do you think of it.

    Icom IC-7410 export radio arrives. Its long, its heavy.

    What will be my base station arrives. This radio is quite heavy almost twice the weight of the IC-7200 which will be the Jeep radio/mobile or field use. It is very long so it sticks upfront and it does take up quite a bit of space on the desk so if your thinking of one, make sure it will fit...

    IC-7200 still working like a champ :)

    Getting good contacts up north, (NC etc..) on ch 38 LSB with 102 inch whip barefoot and SM-20 deskmike. Anyhow this radio cuts through the QRM on 38LSB due to its clean low IMD signal :) NR level 4 NB level 29 and you get signals out of the mud, plus no listening fatigue. Squelch works nicely...

    Cb channels empty for the most part.

    I would say except for 12-15 locals clustered on one or two channels, it's interesting to note that most of the time the channels are empty. What is the experience around your part of town?

    White Tornado 225 plus, dummy load tester.

    Curious what is the safe deadkey and max swing for testing dummy loads with this White Tornado 225 plus? seems like a real nice little amplifier, it is definitely clean output looking at it on the scope, it hits about 200 watts, its a class AB1 amp and I would say its an accurate description...
