are there any export style rigs with wx?
i see the uniden 980 is close but only 40ch
i would like to get an ssb radio in my mobile but i also want the weather noaa channels
RCI2980wx,have one and use everday on 10mtrs...and use alot on 10am,great radio,but pricey...can be modded to 11 and 12mtrs,but mines not.73 de JW
Late note,wx bands great on mine.And uses 4 pin cobra mic.
Yea best bet would be go with a little FRS radio for weather and get the Export radio you like.
I've never used an 10/11m radio with wx but I'm sure the wx reception would suffer due to the wide gap in freqs being used for each. I've always been able to program in wx broadcasts on my 2m radios so never an issue and the antenna is closer to the right freq.
or just pick up a scanner and be dune with it
Ive had several FRS radios that had weather band, and you will only be disappointed. When I made the switch from my Cobra NW WX ST to my Stryker 955 I missed WX and thought I could use a FRS radio and that didnt work at all. At this point I think I might build me a bracket to mount my old Cobra to the bottom of my Stryker with either a second antenna bout 18" , or duplex it with my 11meter antenna.

Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned |
