Where did the original post with the pictures go? Just a big blank space there now...

Curious why you would need to swap out a capacitor in an almost new radio? Cap replacement is usually something that happens after 30 or 40 years when the old ones start to dry out......... If you are having issues with a 955HPC+ it is VERY unlikely to be a capacitor issue. In answer to...

As Brother DXer said, there already is an FM channel..... 26.805 has actually been the FM call channel for decades but has only seen widespread usage in the last few years. I've talked to over 100 stations on there in a couple of years with just 150 watts and simple antennas. I talk regularly...

Exactly! I've noticed a lot of posts lately, often from new folks on here, where it's painfully obvious that the person hasn't read the thread before commenting. And also a lot of comments on very very old threads.....people really need to start looking at the date of the last post, and if the...

Is that in the same city as Qixiang (maker of Anytone radios)? I have heard Aquario radios are produced in the same city but at a different electronics factory.

Your a bit late to the party! Previous post to this one was six years ago and OP hasn't been here since last June..........

With all due respect that seems completely backwards to my way of thinking. Your down in a "stinking" valley and can't get out on DX. Surely upgrading the antenna in some way is the obvious solution to the problem at hand? What approach were you hoping for to solve the problem? Just throwing...

This. Get the antenna higher and/or get a better antenna.

edited due to: had the wrong amp in my brain.....

Maybe I got premium membership by accident LOL! Shhhhhhhhh.... don't tell anyone; I like not getting any ads! I wonder if it is because you are on a phone and I am using a PC?

I don't see any ads at all and I'm just a regular member here...... Maybe we don't see the ads in Canada for some reason?

M0OGY just posted this review of the newly released Aquario RP-70 mini SSB/AM/FM radio. I have heard that it is likely to be un-cheap. I've heard US$400 is the probable price point. Considering it is only 7 watt AM/FM and 15 SSB it will need at least a small amp for most folks applications...

Oh dear. Your time machine appears to have malfunctioned and thrown you backwards by at least a year........

Ended up having some really great QSO's yesterday! I landed on one of my favorite frequencies above 40 and ended up talking to several folks for two hours straight. The ability to have these kinds of conversations is the main thing that keeps me off the regular channels and up in the freeband...

I hope I'm wrong, but as far as I know a full schematic for that radio never did surface. I remember reading that some Brazilian techs did try and reverse engineer one at some point, and they got as far as figuring out the PLL part and had one 980 modded to have export frequencies in it...

That's hilarious! Here it's flocks of birds that routinely explode themselves on the power lines....... Absolute gong show on the radio today.....Sunday and good conditions makes the radio pretty unuseable. I literally have giant pileups of stations on every channel, and all at S9+. Too much...

My eldest son (I have five kids) has been on the cycle of drug abuse and rehab since he was 15. He's 33 this year. He gets totally f****ed up on drugs, then goes to rehab, successfully completes the program which is either a one or five year program. The he gets approved for housing, moves...

LOL! That's insane. My Anytone 5555N2 is bang on frequency from the moment I turn it on! Is the 90 minutes with or without the crystal oven? Boggles my mind that people put up with Ranger gear when there are so many better (and cheaper) alternatives out there these days. No offence...

That change in pitch only happens if the radio is mis-aligned. They should sound the same or at least very very close. My 5555N2, my 6666, and my 148GTL all sound the same on USB and LSB, but my Navaho 457 has more treble on LSB and so does my TRC-449. Doing the frequency alignment after a...

Of course you didn't. The people experiencing the splatter were on other nearby channels and likely didn't know where it was coming from! If I'm chatting on the radio and splatter wipes me out, I usually just change channels or find something else to do until it's gone........I'm not going to...
