    Anytone AT 5000

    Aftermarket faceplate seperation kits are available on ebay for this radio chassis 10M and UHF/VHF, it would be nice if Anytone kicked it up a notch and offered the new radio with a seperation kit in the box.

    Aquario RP70 “Mini” AM/FM/SSB Radio With NRC

    According to Simon the Magnum1 has a Maxlog 8800 board made by Xiamen-Maxlog with changes requested by Magnum. I could not find a connection between Xiamen-maxlog and Quanzhou Chierda Electronic Telecom Co, other than Xiamen-maxlog has a R&D facility in Quanzhou China where Quanzhou Chierda...

    Aquario RP70 “Mini” AM/FM/SSB Radio With NRC

    After looking ar what pictures I could find of the RP70 circut board and microphone I wonder if this is manufactured by Quanzhou Chierda Electronic Telecom Co., Ltd? I see some similarites to the Aquario/Chiedra S890 but its very hard to judge by pictures on the internet.

    Hustler Mobile HF for 11 meters.

    I prefer to buy American products if possible but if it's not available it doesn't stop me from buying it. I mean it's a Mexican made antenna coupled to a Chinese radio it is what it is. I currently use a Mexican, Italian, American and Taiwanese antennas all work very well.

    Hustler Mobile HF for 11 meters.

    Hustler Mobile HF for 11 meters.

    Hate to tell you but the new ones are now being made in Mexico I think my HQ27 is. I am just leery of a coil that big on a fender mount

    Hustler Mobile HF for 11 meters.

    I like the thought of more Bandwidth but not sure of the bigger coil on a 54" shaft at hi way speeds, also I understand the smaller coil is more efficient.

    Hustler Mobile HF for 11 meters.

    I know this is an old but I was wondering if anyone tried an 10 meter resonator with a longer whip for 11 meters? I would like to try this on a 54" shaft.

    New NMO base load 1/4 wave

    I ordered a new NMO 1/4 wave base load antenna, KL-11-N by Workman from SuperLid. I have been running if for 4 days now so far very impressed, it is replacing a Browning BR140. Both antenna are shut feed the Kl-11-N doesn't use a cap in the shut its rated for 1000w. So far I noticed less...

    Anytone At-6666 Pro

    Even if RX and Tx was equal between N2 and Q6 pro I like the q6 better as mobile due to the fact I can see the display in daylight. Don't get me wrong N2 is a great radio and the difference in receive is almost negatable unless you are listening for very weak signals for some reason. I get...

    Anytone At-6666 Pro

    I should have noted not a valid test just observation. I do not own the right test equipment to do a valid test. A comparison with the same antenna would better I may do that in the future.

    Anytone At-6666 Pro

    I experimented some more today the receive is definitely better on the q6 pro vs the N2. I had both NRC on 3 I did experiment changing them the q6 pro did a better job at filtering out the background noise. Later in the evening the bad seemed dead I was receiving a weak signal on 38LSB w/...

    DC Grounded Base Load Antenna vs 1/4 Ground Plane mobile antenna

    I use one of those on the right front fender of my Dodge ram when I have the camper on the back seems to work fairly well and looks decent there. I don;t think a base load would work on it coil would be too close to the hood. The NMO antennas look better on my compact hatchback and seems to...

    DC Grounded Base Load Antenna vs 1/4 Ground Plane mobile antenna

    So it sounds like next to impossible to have a 64" shunt fed with NMO mount. My Choices are 30-34mhz end fed with 64" whip PIA to tune, little benefit and more noise, BR140 shorter lower quality, PCTEL MLBDC 2700 slightly better than BR140, change nmo to uhf for a wilson 1000, or search...

    DC Grounded Base Load Antenna vs 1/4 Ground Plane mobile antenna

    Ok Thank you I think I am getting DC grounded at base confused with DC grounded. From what I understand Browning Br140 has shut in them not sure about the others. I currently run a Browning Br140 on a small car I may try a PCTEL or larsen 30-34 mhz coil with longer whip. Also wondering...
