    FM

    It seems most are... Some are 4 watts AM/ 4 Watts FM and have a high power mode 8Watts AM/8 Watts FM.. (Anytone Smart CB for example).. But in the Couple Anytone Smarts I've tested, it doesn't have enough Audio Drive (in a stock configuration) to fully modulate the 8 Watt AM carrier..

    FM

    I can't wait to hear about all the complaining when dudes switch to FM and start smoking amplifiers... That being said, I welcome it... But you know what ever the manufacturers paid the FCC to legalize it is pocket change compared to what the will make by not having to manufacturer radios for...

    Confused after being granted Vanity Call

    I went vanity to something that meant something to me, something shorter, and something easier to say with phonetics The last 3 were Kilo Zulu November on my issued call sign, that sucked.... Echo Foxtrot Romeo is much easier for me to say and the other end to understand

    New Antenna up, FT8 fun

    On another note... On Saturday I added 31' or wire to the antenna, got the vertical portion up to 30' (UNUN is about 5' off the ground) and it runs North/South in an Inverted L. Running 40W on my end seems to be getting out pretty well. I can hit Japan like yelling out the window

    New Antenna up, FT8 fun

    It is about as fun as RTTY, CW, PSK... whatever... If you don't want to do it, fine... but for me, it is the most interest I have had in Ham radio in years... I have never hit some of the countries on SSB that I can hit with FT8... and it does remove the language barrier. You think you can...

    GMRS resurgence in the making ???

    I think the "GRMS Legal" is a scam... and the price difference for the "GRMS" radios is rude.. You could run any of the Chinese UHF/VHF radio, and the person on the other end would have no clue, and you can run them on MURS, FRS/GMRS, and Amateur Bands. That being said, I think people are...

    FCC should just open up 11meters as a Citizens experimental band.
