I've done some research on dsp speakers, and checked out some YouTube videos, and eham reviews. All the videos seem to be of external dsp speakers being used on hf's, most of witch have some sort of built-in dsp already. The BHI Mk 2 and 3 seem to work very well. I did watch a video of a dsp...

An annoying popping static on my recive all day. I thought it might've been a nabour running a power tool but when it didn't stop, I became worried. I'm still concerned. Has anyone eles experienced this?. I'm in south Jersey. The two locals I asked, weren't having issues. WTF could it be? I...

My galaxy s3's microphone broke. I purchesed an exstended warranty but radio shack couldn't locate a new one. They sent me a check which i useded to purchase a new s3 from Wal-Mart. I had some help from the Wal-Mart/virgin mobile help center. Everything went smoth but all my searches and sites...

As per the advice of a few members I've been using the VOACAP propagation preproduction map/site. I enjoy it and use it more to see what's posibly happening on the amateur bands (with envy!). As most know VOACAP's predictions only list amature bands 10- 160. My question is how close would the...

I've s friend who's concidering building a small 11 meter beam. Is it possible to build one from a proven plan without the use of an analyzer? If so can someone throw a few suggestions my way. It will be his first antenna build so simplicity and low cost is basically what he's looking for.

After the nightmare that was caused after I cut 30' of extra LMR 400 I almost gave up. I sent my coax to my tec, along with a few other pieces of equipment that needed attention, and he replaced the pl259 that I installed then removed it and did it again. Obviously both of my pl259 soldering...

I heard what was described as a Dave made transmitter. Ssb and AM. I heard it on ssb and AM. Do I want one? No. Can I get my hands on one, doubt it. Sounds over the top hifi. Does it sound nice? Very very nice, but there's something about it that just doesn't sound right on 11 meters. I can't...

I've been on the air since late October 2014. I operated as I did when I dropped out in 87, AM only. I divorced my madison while digging through the equipment I packed away in 87 and have been enjoying ssb skip since. All the best skip did die out in the spring and I hear many saying it should...

If any one's ever owned or purchased a rig that's been smoked around, they know what a mess tobacco causes to a rig. The build up of tar and niccotean is not only a nasty smelling residue but can spell a short life radio's and there componants. I was wondering if ccountinuos vaping around your...

Would adding a variable output knob on an hr 2510 cause problems? I'd like to purchase one but would like to run an amp with it. If either dropping the AM output to 1 1/2 watts and ssb to 12 watts internally of by adding a variable knob will hurt the performance of what I read was an outstanding...

First let me thank everyone who's helped me with this and all the other issues I've had. The swr is 1.1:1. I made sevral contacts from 30 to 60 miles with great reports. I've yet to make any skip contacts as there isn't any coming in. I must say I notice big differance between the old a99...

I really feel this is something I should know and belive I do but don't want to make a freshman mistake. This is a picture of my two position Dawia. It being used to switch between two stations and not antennas. I may eventually hook up my maco 150 preamp. How do I put it online correctly?

Reat this article. Interesting article. Check out the post about grounding by Wb2wic Steve katz on e ham. He's been a ham radio operater for 50 + year's at this point. The original post was written several years ago but doubt his opinions on grounding have changed since. His thoughts on...

Is there only reason to use a low pass filter ? Interferance ? Or can it benefit your station. If so what other benefits besides stopping rfi? Drake seems to be the choice of many. Has anyone ever used the rf industries df 3000,, MFJ 704 or Nye. If I do need one id like to know what your...

After reading more about the I max 2000. I've noticed a few people mention, lock washers. since I didn't use the supplied u-bolts. I didn't open the sealed plastic bag they come in. Should there be a couple of lock washers in there? I'm assuming there's two if the posts I read are correct...

Everything was going fine until the third and final piece of the antenna put a stop to that. The second part of the i max threded as easy as it should've. The third and final (whip) section wouldn't thread into the second section of the antenna. After a bit of checking which thread was bad...

when an amps tuned up on antenna A then switched to antenna B should your amplifier be returned to antenna B? I've read so many postings suggesting that one should tune their amplifier using a dummy load. Then remove the dummy load and hook your stations antenna up. Wouldn't this most likely...

I'm not sure what frequency theses droans operate on but if my memory serves me right the r/c's used to operate on a frequency close to 27 mhz. Those were the one's that were used when I was a kid in the 70"s. I'mnot surr if those frequencys have changed. I don't understand why this...

Ever since watching Stanley Kubrick shining (about 15 time since its release). I always atemtemted to figure out what the exact transceiver is used in the movie. Shelley Longs carector (Windey torrence) uses the transceiver to contact police headquarters sevral times during the snow in. And...

Does it matter which end of the MFj 915 gets installed onto my pl 259's antenna feed? I'm assuming it doesn't matter but without any help from the instructions I just dont know. I just want to confirm if it's lettering should be right side up or upside down? I really want to get correct the...
