    Soldering Iron recommendation?

    Looking to do the power wire upgrade to my TS500 and to my recently acquired TS Sweet Sixteen but my junker “gun” style soldering iron isn’t going to cut it. Any recommendations on what to get? I’m assuming something around 60w with a variable setting and changeable tips.

    There is a guy near me that goes by Rowdy, he may have heard of him. I’m in Luling... usually on 6, 36, 38LSB and 27.415LSB

    Realistic ssb radio what is the best one made?

    I've got a TRC-465 that my grandad gave me about 15 years ago. I really like that little radio and will probably never sell it. I would like to have someone go through it however.

    Pickup truck mounting

    They are still in production for the F150 as far as I know. I've been looking at them since December... Typed in my credit card information twice but just cant seem to justify the 200 dolla price tag. https://www.larsonelectronics.com/p-150891-.aspx

    Pickup truck mounting

    Larson Electronics makes a third brake light antenna mount. I've almost bought it 3 times but cant bring my self to clicking the button.. its 164 bucks plus 28 dollars shipping. I was going to hard mount my Wilson 1000 on it. I think I'm just going to make me a custom bracket to mount my 5'...

    Radiant Barrier and attic antennas

    Thanks guys. No tree in the back yard, I'll have to dig up the HOA paperwork to see if I can put up a "flag pole". If I had to guess, it's going to be a no. I can't stand living in a neighborhood being that I was raised in the woods of Georgia, but I'm stuck here for a few more years. :LOL: I...

    Radiant Barrier and attic antennas

    I'm looking to put a Dipole antenna in my attic but of course when I built the house I chose to get the plywood with the foiled back to help with the summer heat here in Louisiana... Has anyone here dealt with this scenario yet? I have an HOA so no towers allowed.

    Running Texas Star 350HDV, Any "Good" Reason To Upgrade to 500V or 667V?

    How are you liking the 500 and did you sell the 350? I just ran across a 667v and they are asking $300 for it but I’m sure I can get it for 250. I just don’t really NEED it at the moment. :(

    TS 500v - fan recommendation

    I'm looking to add a fan over the heat sink on my TS 500v and was looking to see if anyone here had a particular fan model number that has been used for this application already? Also where did you tap in for the 12v power? I will probably mount it using the plastic dry wall anchor method. Thanks!

    Advice for setting up my mobile

    I wouldn't run too much power through a Mag mount. Even if the antenna can handle, the paint between the mag and metal roof will eventually looked messed up... Ask me how I know.. I ran a TS500 through a Wilson 1000 for a couple weeks just to test the antenna. It worked great, but the paint...
