Change is sometimes hard for people. Like you said try a couple of browsers, see if that helps your performance problem. Go to the bottom and adjust the fonts and the colours to see if you can find something that is easier for you to read or more pleasing to your eye. Give it a chance see if...

For that you need to build a Faraday Cage, similar but different.

One 24hr period a year that the bands are actually almost used to their potential and heaven forbid if it interfere with two farts that need to talk about their bowel movements like they do everyday on that exact frequency that belongs to them. Know what I do if the bands are too busy with...

I have 3 IC-7000's, two are mobile and have never had display issues. You said you already have 2m/70cm radios, are they all mode? With the 7000 you get 2m/70cm all mode which is very nice. Learning how to operate the 7000 is very important to make it shine, I have some friends that comment...

First World problems. Does anyone not understand what those that use those conventions mean? If you know what they are trying to convey who cares. 73's could also mean Best Wishes, Best Wishes, Best Wishes as grammatically the "s" means multiples of 73 not just part of it. As for Q codes...

They are very popular in the Middle East with Military, PMC , and commercial users. They are basically bullet proof, they are also pretty big (don't let the name fool you). Expensive but they work great. I guess with the wars winding down they are looking to sell them to amateurs now. They...

I'm liking the looks of that.

Have you lugged one around? There's lots of better options the Yaesu FT-100 or 100D, the FT857, Icom IC706, Icom 7000 the Elecraft KX3 are all portable packable rigs. Just cause it has batteries inside doesn't make it a good man packable radio. Any of the above radios can be powered with...

I'm In the GTA which is more urban than Ottawa and haven't had any issues with my FTM-350 nor has any of the other few people that I know that have them. Interested to see the new radio though.

It doesn't attach to the body, it's like the FTM-350, its a remote head only.

I've used both and never had issues with either the Diamond does seem to be a little higher quality.

I used one at field day a few years ago, it worked well. The only downside is the display size, but that is more of a personal preference and doesn't effect its performance. I liked the display on my FT100D better. It a good portable rig, personally I think its too large to be a great mobile...

If you want to police the radio waves or the Internet, then have at 'er. Yes there are some that are using it to commit fraud, but some blow hard on the radio spinning a tale on the radio isn't necessarily the same person fraudulently claiming benefits that they dont deserve. How do you know...

I thought only two things come from Texas, do you have horns?

I run one of my 7000's in my Durango, I use a Little Tarheel II, it works great regularly work Europe, all the US and south America. Great radio and antenna combination.

What comments are you looking for? It's obvious you've made up your mind and you just have some smart quip about everything someone suggests.

Many clubs are pretty inactive in the summer, and get more active after Labour Day. So you might have better luck contacting them after summer.

I second Mole with regards to the display. I've used the 897 and it is just too small to use mobile and many things that you may normally use are hidden deep in menus, way more so than the Icom 7000. Personally I find the display on the857 too small too. Knave good eyesight too. The display...

Boy sounds like someone's having a big pity party. One of or local hams found a icom 757 in excellent shape a a second hand store a few weeks ago for $25, oh yea he got an Ameritron 600w amp to go with it for $20. There's stuff out there you just have to look, wait and have patience. One...

The Kenwood does not have Bluetooth at all and you need to attach a GPS to it too. Yeasu at least gives you the option of using their GPS module that makes for a very nice integrated package and it gives you the option to have Bluetooth. One feature that the Kenwood has that the Yeasu doesn't...
