Hey clanton, do you live in SC??
I have to agree with WA...you may attract unwanted attention :biggrin_25524:
I heard that red eye, did the same thing when I first started driving a tri-axle. Hauling storm debris, opened the swing gate, dumped the load...
The problem with the 10 meter radios, IMO, is that its just a matter of time before users are compelled to flip that band switch. I think the...
I can't be sure, but I think 8 watts is way to high for an old amp like that, try backing it down to around 2-3 watts.
Sad news from South Carolina, 4 amatuer radio operators were killed in a plane crash early this morning. They were headed to Fla. to pick up more...
Thanks kd5, the fellow I meant has been a great help, and I have been listening to some of the locals on 10 meters. It definetly seems alot more,...
Thanks alot for the input. Gotta start the studying, I suppose.
Gadfly, Just wondering, what do you think of the Rci 2950-70 for a 10/12 meter amateur radio? I have a new neighbor who is a Ham (don't know...

Nightwatch is a factory installed feature. It'd almost definetly be cheaper and easier just to buy a Nightwatch radio.
The pre-amp improves your recieve. I.E. If your talking to a weak station, and you turn on the preamp, it will improve the incoming signal. The...
Also, unless you have an SSB radio, your going to want to turn that SSB switch off, that is a delay for talking sideband.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but "Pills" are the transistors inside the amp, hence a "2 pill" is an amp that has two transistors in it. I run a 2 pill...
Photos coming, soon as I get a better camera
Hey Gadfly, did they drop CW/Morse from the Extra Class Exam?
