    I NEED OFF HOBBY SUBJECT, INFORMATION. ANY HELP APPRECIATED.

    Omg! There are so many acronyms, nowadays. I'm not sure if that one has been around for a while, but it's a good one, but one I've never seen or heard of Until now. Modern technology such as, texting, messaging etc have created hundreds of new acronyms, and there seems to be a new one almost...

    I NEED OFF HOBBY SUBJECT, INFORMATION. ANY HELP APPRECIATED.

    I believe sharing contact information after a purchase is okay, as far as eBay is concerned. It's sharing it, before and or during a purchase is what they don't want. They're obviously afraid of being cut out, as the middleman, and losing their cut of the sale profits. YMMV?

    I NEED OFF HOBBY SUBJECT, INFORMATION. ANY HELP APPRECIATED.

    I appreciate you taking the time, to check that out for me. I am not an eBay seller, and only make purchases, so I guess the worst that could happen is, for trying to add my phone number for the seller to contact me come is that they might suspend my account, although I doubt it very much. I've...

    I NEED OFF HOBBY SUBJECT, INFORMATION. ANY HELP APPRECIATED.

    Thank you my friend. I will give it a try. My purpose for wanting to do so, is not to circumvent him, paying any eBay fees, but his description is lacking to say the least, and there's only a few pictures. I did message him or her, asking to add more detailed pictures of the item, and to...

    Your old friend, Jojo AKA sonar, needs a bit of information, that would be of great help. There is a piece of furniture, that I can absolutely use, as it's made by the same company, and same style, as our kitchen table. Unfortunately, the company that made the pieces, of furniture, no longer...

    Contex 500 Tube Amp

    I never doubted, that you would stop by the qth, in order to put my antenna up. I know some time has passed, and just as much time might pass, that has already, until I'm ready to put the IMAX 2000 backup, but I know you're on board my brother. I'm glad to hear about the career opportunity, and...

    Contex 500 Tube Amp

    My brother, Chris! I've never considered anyone I knew, to be my Elmer, but if I ever need advice, I'll drop you a line, before posting a question. I know chris, to be a modest person, and definitely gives credit, for all the technical hobby, related knowledge he has gained, to all the very...

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

    I like yourself, have absolutely no doubt there are licensed operators, operating way over the 1500 watt limit, but my question would be, what's the point? If conditions are right for DX, someone with 100 Watts, and an omnidirectional, will probably have the same chance at contacting, the same...

    OVER 130% MODULATION!!!

    I knew from day one that you would inevitably become an Elmer. That's an awesome setup. I basically understood about 10% of what you were talking about as far as how everything works and why some things won't without some of the equipment you added. I'm glad to see you got yourself a wm1. I'm...

    BIG PRAYERS TO MY RADIO BROTHERS AND SISTERS

    I'm glad to hear that minimally your electricity stayed on. Obviously the storm affected you family wise, and will probably not be forgotten too soon. We'll still praying for you guys. After going through Sandy we know what it's like when mother nature shows her fury. We too were lucky and...

Once the cartridge is used it is simply unscrewed and disposed of then replaced with a new one. the logic cartridges as of late have not been lasting long, and at $10...

    HELP: NEED 2 HAVE GALEXY J7 PERX WITH BROKEN CHARGING PORT REPAIRED

    Thank you Chris. I'm going to hit eBay and purchase one. All I need to do is get the plug to work once. If I have to I will glue the charging input plug to the port itself in order to get it to charge. For under $10 it's definitely worth a try. I'll let you know how it worked out. Thanks again.

    HELP: NEED 2 HAVE GALEXY J7 PERX WITH BROKEN CHARGING PORT REPAIRED

    I've owned a Galaxy j7 perx since their release. The one I own now is the third, and they've all needed to be replaced because of a broken charging port. I checked YouTube and there is a simple repair, and a more complicated one that consist of replacing the port. The simple repair consist of...

    AUTOMATIC SSB RELAY DELAY?

    Does anyone know if this amp can be operated on SSB? I know some amps have a diode or capacitor in the amps keying circuit that allows the amp to operate on SSB without having a dedicated SSB switch.

    ARE ALL BASE CB AMPS SPLATTER BOXES?

    The Heading says it all. Is dirty in dirty out true? Is the fact that (most all) 11 amplifiers lack any type of filtering make them splatter boxes? If 1 is driving an amplifier with and unmodified non golden screwdrivered transceiver with a an excellent oscope waveform is it possible for that...

    OH NO! MFJ 828 PROBLEM.

    No I did not tell Joe. I don't think I'm ever going to have to go through what I did when I sent the 828 into mfj for repair. The fact that they lost it for over a month was enough for me not to be purchase mfj equiptment anymore. The price point is good, but for people who can't do her own...

    CRAZY PRICES FOR AUTEK WM 1's

    I'll keep them. There's just too much to worry about. Giving up 15% + of my cell isn't a problem. It's the chance of getting a case opened up against me and losing. Then not only having to pay the buyer back, but worried about what I'm going to receive when I finally get the item returned. I...

    CRAZY PRICES FOR AUTEK WM 1's

    I've never side by side compared. I would assume that for the hobbyist it's about is accurate as a meter can get. I think there might be a YouTube clip of bbi repairing or calibrating an Autek wm1. That's about it for YouTube as far as the wm1 goes. The nice things about wm1 is that it...
