Hi people,

I am new to the forum, and I have just passed my standard license assessment in Australia.
I live on Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean and I will be setting up for HF.
License limit is 100w
I have multimeters, soldering gear and a 100mhz scope, but nothing else yet.

Freight takes MONTHS to get to the island, so I am starting a list of whats needed.
Things like what cables, what connectors and so on. I am very much a DIYer so what materials for antenna construction, what bits...

I read all the posts on here about which diode to replace or which mosfet's work in which radio, how much swing will I get if I do this or that. All I do is turn on the radio, let the tubes warm up and talk to people all over the world. There are no mods done to my radios, no extras hell not even an amp.. what am I doing wrong?


Please note this was done in jest....

Antenna advice for a Realistic DX-302

Hello everyone,

I just picked up an old Realistic DX-302 and was wondering if anyone could recommend an inexpensive antenna that would allow me to listen to every channel available. All I have currently are various mobile CB antennas and having never owned a scanner, I'm kind of lost.

Thanks for any advice.

I believe the final is blown bc it is output 1 watt give or take but looks good on the scope still.

What is my best option? It's a new front Mic. I have several 2030 and 520s I only have the erf 1230?m can't remember, it's the one for cobra 29s. I also have a c1307, and a few 1969 that may be blown as well

As we all know, the day of the Toshiba 2sc2879 has come to it's twilight. They are about gone from RF parts inventory, the price of them is skyrocketing, and there is a void left by this. At Xforce, we have moved to the DEI devices to fill that void. There has been some bad press about the DEI units, but we have found them to be a very good device. Yes, if your going to run your system at 21 volts and try to make your whatever pill do however many crazy watts on the line, they may not...

Found a Pacific SSB-800

I picked up about 100 pounds of Maxtrac and Kenwood radios, along with a box sirens ans strobe controllers.
In the lot, I found a Pacific 80 channel SSB radio. Never heard of or seen one before.
I wiped it clean but haven't powered it up. No power cord.
It came with an old road king 56 so I'm assuming any 4 pin Cobra Mic will work.
The 56 looks like it will need cutting back and resoldering at the least.

Very little about this radio via Google search.
Anyone have any info on it?

Here is the newest CB from Uniden, the Bearcat 680!

This completely new CB was provided by Uniden, so here are some pictures of the radio while we're working on a full review. First, you can tell how small the width of the radio by comparing it to the full sized Uniden Grant LT:...

I own a rental property on Staten Island. I'm currently renting to family members. I stayed there on the weekend of the snowfall. I was the first one out and noticed someone left footprints in the snow leading from the street to the side of my vehicle which was parked in the driveway. I have a feeling somebody was checking to see if my Vehicles door was unlocked (it was locked). I would like to get a wireless security camera system. I need one with 4 cameras but as long as I am able to add...

Saw this new 50 watt SR-447 HPC2 AM/FM 10 meter transceiver while perusing the Stryker radio site. It appears to be a slimmed down version so it will fit better in mobile applications.

Big sound claim also "SR-447 HPC-2 also features internal treble and bass adjustment for the receiver that helps in noise reduction, specifically white noise. Full, Rich HiFi modulation add depth to your message enhancing your voice as well as keeping it loud"

Haven't seen the entire inside yet, so I'm not...

Some retailers selling the Wouxun KG-UV8D are limiting the frequency range of the Wouxun KG-UV8D. The radio's transmit range is easily modified using any of the standard Wouxun programming cables along with the appropriate software. The software necessary to expand the TX range is attached to this thread.

After you download and install the software (assuming you have the programming cable driver properly installed), you will see the following screen upon launch:...

I was talking to a fellow radio operator and he mentioned being able to transmit and you could see where your signals went world wide and how strong they were. If this is truly possible how is it done?
Or is this guy just yanking my chain?
