I think that's what most people want

 

Not using squelch is what I meant by having it WIDE OPEN. If it were closed, it'd be active, squelching out signals. Also, the needle is supposed to move on any noise. When you opened your RF gain all the way and got all that hiss, your needle should have moved, just like when those voices came through. That's the way it works from the factory. Don't know why he had to alter the meter for the tune? But that concerns me.

 

He didn't touch the meter. He increased the gain of the front end and dropped the noise floor. What you saw in that video didn't truly demonstrate the capability of that receiver which is why I said that he needed to make a new video when he hears a guy 30 miles away

 

I'm kind of jealous that Evvy gets to spend lots of time with his radio because he's over the road and I'm stuck slip seating in a local job and I don't get any radio time at all

 

I am in the exact same position, but honestly when i go home at noon on friday i kind of forget about it.

 

Before my divorce even when I was home, I'd at least spend a couple hours on my personal radio talking skip.
Now that I'm forced to work in PA at 80% pay reduction to keep custody of my kids, I can't afford the extra gas to burn for a couple hours of fun.

 

WoW 80% pay reduction that's sucks!!!

Meanwhile time with kids is absolutely priceless.

Sadly we don't have local position in your area if it ever happen i will be more than happy to let you know, our local guy do really good.
