We have a group of people who don't want to get their Ham Licenses, but have pony'd up the $75.00 for a GMRS license, got used Business radios and programmed them for the top GMRS frequency's for EMCOMM. That leaves them with the need for a decent antenna. Many have made J poles or bought GMRS...

Sold, bought by Tim Zang, excellent transaction, great buyer, Thanks Tim

RF Parts, Home page is selling an antenna for $19.95. It looks like it was made for something else as it has 20' of small coax and a fitting on it. Looks like they bought a bunch. Anyway, it has 3 DB gain, is in a piece of Schd 80 pipe, about a foot and a half, colinier I think and covers...

The 2/440 is still in their new catalog, but if it's not available anymore, MFJ sells the 2/220 and a 440 tuner that if you buy both costs about the same as the 2/440 version. Anything to get more money from us. I mean who really wants a 2/220 vs. a 2/440 ??? I'll pass, my SWR's are all quite...

They don't have a big ol resistor in them to keep them so broad banded like another company that makes dipoles that need no tuning, are marketed to Government type agency's, cost $1800.00 and the resistor eats half the radiated power do they ???? What's the secret? They just might be a great...

He's right about the Comet 2 X 4. I know of no other antenna that will do both. They really are wide banded. You will find that if you have a really good SWR on 2/440, the far ends may be at 2 to 1 or a little higher. I use one for 2/440, tuned for those freqs and GMRS is a little under 2 to 1...

Junk, but if all you have is $40.00, they are better than nothing. Be smart, save $150.00 and buy a Yaesu FT-60. Tough as nails and they work fantastic, 5 watts on UHF also. I do have one a UV-5R and never use it. It's just a back up, but with the FT-60, it may never get used. 73's John KF7VXA

You really should look into the Gap line of antennas. I have two, a Challenger and the 20 to 160 Meter model. They require only 3 radials because they are a center fed vertical dipole. Because of that they are much quieter than bottom fed verticals. That has enabled me to make contacts I would...

Selling a 6 Meter Yaesu Transceiver radio that comes with the optional plug in the back linier Amplifier. This is a QRP rig that I intended to use for mountain topping, but never got the chance to. Frequency range 50.0 to 54.0 It put out 2.5 watts or 10 Watts with the amplifier. It comes with...

I have a Yaesu Wires unit for sale. It's perfect looking, no scratches, as new and comes with cables, disc, ID number for connection to Yaesu system and power supply, ready to hook up to most all Yaesu radios. Some may need a different cable. You can use it at home or on the road with a Yaesu...

I bought this tuner new about a year ago for use with the HF radio I bought after getting my General. Thing is, I also got a Gap Challenger antenna and it is always below 2 to1 SWR on each band for the entire band on every band, so I never used the tuner. It's like brand new, a couple small...

If you get a battery other than a lithium ion, such as a gell cell, which I have found works great and are sold at a good price, I sure would get a 10 watt solar panel and charge controller to go with it. I know you said you didn't care for solar, but having a panel charging the battery all of...

Your radio will tolerate a 2 to 1 SWR without problem. It does cut down on the radiated power. The post that said the higher SWR just made heat is not totally correct. The radio wave will go up and back down the coax to the radio and then back up and down and whatever part of it not lost to a...

You might want to change the part about respecting the rules in the USA at the bottom of your posts as everything you posted is against US FCC rules...Just sayin. 73's John KF7VXA

It's also 100% illegal to use GMRS or FRS on Amateur radios. I doubt the radios you got are even FCC certified, another broken rule. Chances are the FCC won't catch you, but I'd love to see the look on your face if they did and you got slapped with a $7,000 fine. 73's John KF7VXA

Yea, go for it, who cares if it's illegal to use a Part 50 radio on Part 55 GMRS radio frequencies. Go to Powerworx.com, they sell legal GMRS 4 watt HT's that will work great in a race car. 73's John KF7VXA

Maybe you should stop getting upset over the FCC rules and either follow them or upgrade to Ham radio where you can legally do most all of the things you want to do on CB, only it will work far better and you will find far more things that you can do on Ham radio. On second thought, I think you...

CB is made for groundwave, it's illegal to shoot skip with CB, but most CBer's could care less about the FCC rules. My apologies to those who do it right. So you really don't need to worry about take off angle. Just put your antenna up to legal height and use good coax such as LMR-400 and you...

For the price, this is the best HF transceiver you can get. The DSP works great, it has just about all the features of the more expensive models and best of all, you can find them for under $100.00 new. The auto tuner works great within it's limits. They put out an honest 100 watts of power...
