Anyone here running a large linear like a Texas Star 1600 in a base setup? What are you powering the amp with? The thing draws right at 130A, looking for ideas/suggestions...

Within the next week or two I will be testing through General. I am open to suggestions in regards to equipment specifically what antennas I should look at so I erect the tower complete the first time. Also what radios should I look at? I don't mind spending the money on radios so once again I...

I don't have much experience with building different antennas and such which leads me to my question. I am looking for an antenna that will cover a wide range of bands, have any of you ever used the IMAX-2000? It is my understanding that the IMAX covers 10m-17m with a small decline in receive...

N00b HAM question... Is 10m used much? I don't hear much on the band when I visit it on SDR and my Ranger. If it is being used what activity is found there?

Picked up on a used Astron 32A power supply today for $100, lucked out on this deal. Got it from an old HAM that I had a chance to sit and visit with. Awesome guy with lots of knowledge, always a pleasure talking with the elders. 6345

I am having issues with my radio. When I dead key there is a noise, the best that I can describe what's coming across the talk back is if you would hold the mic out the window at 70mph. It literally sounds like wind coming through the talk back. This is a first for me, has anyone else...

This is my portable setup, really quick to deploy and has some reach. RCI-39VHP *Modded* Tram 1411 102" Antenna 55" Whip SWR 1 - 1.5 Across 6ft Antenna Tripod 6342 6343 *Edit: Though I can only speak for the 10 and 11 meter bands, the manufacturer advertises - Transmit bands...

I'm going to try and do this without offending anyone... My question is why do so many hams today display such arrogance towards those that are not and may be part of the CB community? I'm not saying that it is all hams but a good percentage online, I have met a lot of awesome people that are...

So... I do a lot of RTL-SDR stuff and needed a new antenna for a traveling setup. While I'm not much on the one fits all antenna but I wanted to try one that would cover 500khz to 1.7Ghz for scanning while also accommodating my new RCI-39VHP. I know, I know, that is a tall order but I went after...

Greets all... I am new to the forum so I figured that I would introduce myself. My name is Dave, I was active on the air up until around 1991 then started a career in marine research. I was a shallow and deep water researcher specializing in sonar, multibeam, and sub-bottom technologies as well...
