    10m Ranger mod for CTCSS?

    You don't have to have the box with the rotary switch. You can get one of the encoders that has a dip switch set it to the tone you want and forget it. Or, you can install inside the radio and mount the dip switches in a way so that you can access them from the outside. This way you can change...

    10m Ranger mod for CTCSS?

    I don't recall a factory CTCSS board for that radio, but you could install a third party board, like a COM-SPEC or Selectone. Not sure if you are looking for only encode or tone squelch, which will make the difference as to what board you use. You will need to be mindful of enabling the encoder...

    Adding VFO to Midland 13-898B

    Love it.....I did the same with a Hy-Gain V 674B this past winter. Similar radio as you probably know. I had that thing set up for at least 2 months straight. It was really nice to use. I had the 898B with a Siltronix 90 in the 80's. It's a blast!

    Radio shack blue big stick antenna

    SO.... I responded to your post, not to be demanding, but to perhaps spend some of my precious time, sharing a common interest in assisting you with your desire to increase the power handling capacity of the Crossbow stick. I have more antennas than I will ever need, it was all about the art...

    Radio shack blue big stick antenna

    This is precisely why I asked for better photos of the matching network. I have one of these, that the matching network is trashed, that I want to rebuild, bigger and better. The one I have also has a completely corroded to nothing bonding wire at the top of the bottom section, which is what...

    Identify this antenna please

    What are the lengths of the elements? This is important... What it appears to be, at the very least is a cross polarized omni directional antenna.

    Identify this antenna please

    I think he is asking, what manufacturer made this and what they called it.

    Need Schematic Or Photos/Component Values For Palomar (the original)/Magnum 3000

    I have one here, that someone hamburger'd, by what I believe, was an attempt to increase the power output with 2879's. The amp is a Magnum 3000, which appears to be similar if not exactly the same as a Palomar (The Original is what they say on the front), TX-200, TX-250. I have attached photos...

    Mobile Antenna ideas needed !

    One of the antennas, I have not marketed yet, because I am too lazy to build the website. I have base and mobile antennas, that have performance and cost in mind, in that order. Some are available, some are still prototype. As I said, PM for details. The attached photo, is the high power (KW's)...

    The Wilson rotators were made by either Create, or Kenpro. I can;t recall which one of the two. You may try reaching out to them.

    Don't Understand Domestic Contest Stations Operating In The Extra Portions

    If the station is running and loud, there are enough stations in the Extra segment to keep the rate high. That's the objective, like it or not.
