Yaesu FT-1000MP Mark V Field with MARS mod complete! I'm stuck in a condo with no room for an HF antenna and it is just sitting. It is a wonderful radio... and a true modern day boat anchor! Has original owners manual, original box, notes from the original owner. Double boxed. Comes with MC-60...

Well, I picked up two nice MC-60 Kenwood mics under the impression they'd work on my Yaesu. THEY DON'T!! hahaha Anyone explain where to find a good rewire chart? Thanks!!!

So my good ol' Quad 6 has stopped working. When I key up, it looks like I'm keying and unkeying rapidly, about twice a second. Chunk chunk chunk chunk. It is unmodified and I've tried a brand new mic and it didn't change things. I've reset it via the software. Any ideas?

OK, my trusted friend and radio nuts! I get to splurge. My AT 6666 is down and pending its repair (if it can be repaired) and relegation to backup, I have the opportunity to splurge on a new radio. My car is SMALL so I usually run it on the seat and stow it when not in use. I love the 6666 and...

Hello! My beloved Quad 6 finally has its first problem. After neigh on 5 years of mobile abuse, dropped, stored, sloshed around... it will not fully key up. Receive and everything else seems fine. At first I thought it may be the mic itself so I put my spare on there but did not change the...

I have an Icom 7200 and would like to find an antenna tuner. It doesn't have to be max power supportive but I'd like up to 500 watts? I'm not too familiar with antenna tuners, so if this is a stupid request, apologies!

So my girlfriend's son "Mr. Brownstone" (10 years old) is really interested in radio so I'm getting him checked out on the station. There is a local YouTube channel that broadcasts channel 17 in real time which is kinda fun. So, Mr. Brownstone was chatting in the YouTube room and one of the...

Anyone else design their own QSL card? I think I’m done and here’s the first version!

Anyone have any thoughts on this? I need to wire a mic for it, but it plugs in and powers up - I suspect it will work! Any diagrams would be welcomed, any memories too!

So, I just put up a Sirio Tornado a few weeks back and worked Japan, Australia and Brazil in addition to tons of southern US stations. This past weekend, I left my radio on (just receive) for about 8 hours and when I came back, the first time I keyed up the radio (AM) was down on the meter from...

I have had my Icom 7200 for a year now, and would like to put up something like in the shack. (This is a local 45 Kilo, who has his streaming live on YouTube most of the time. I believe he's on one of the islands in Puget Sound. My 7200 has a USB connector in the back, so all I really need to...

Any Icom nerds out there? I picked up a very slightly used 7200 with power supply and mic for $500 a couple months back and finally am getting it set up. My question is, when I see people asking about what radio to get for their first HF I see a lot of Icom 7100 and 7300 but rarely a mention of...

So, I was gifted a pretty cool HF rig (my first one). I want to set up the mic (it is new in box) but the adjuster on the mic seems open ended! I see it bottoms out when you turn all the way to the left but there is no way to tell what the heck one is adjusting when opening up. Can someone...

Just had a QSO with WWDX 31 Ogden on 27.385 Lower! If you see this I can send audio QSL. Best, 213 Adam Renton, WA

So, I imagine everyone here has heard of this movie. I'm an old school pirate and have a digital copy. If anyone wants to download it from my server (335MB) shoot me an email allfalldown@mac.com and I'll reply with a link!

Also I have a friend who is a contractor for Boeing and he has a CNC machine and access to aluminum and titanium. I have read about 102” stainless whips being used as an inverted V (dipole?) What materials would be proper to create a mount and what angle should I make them on the downward? I...

So I’m not sleeping too well tonight and a question just came to me: I see lots of really nice audio microphones (like for performers for way less than they cost new. Is there any reason one could not wire up one of these for transmitting on a radio? jigger up a PTT and catch as catch can...

Looking to buy an antenna tuner and HF transceiver. My daughter is studying for her general and super excited. We're on a budget - don't need fancy, just solid!
