The steps is for tuning frequencies in VFO mode. What you need to do is set each Ski frequencie into a memory channel and set the modulation to NFM (narrow FM). When a memory is set to FM it is...
Well I should have known it was too good to be true. I had a chance this week to test these antennas. Across the 440 UHF Ham band the SWR is 2.1:1. This is sort of ok. However across the 2M Ham...
I received my order of 8 more antennas yesterday. After testing these antennas I found the SWR was off the charts. So this is a warning to make sure, if you order these, test them to make sure they...
FYI, to anyone ordering these antennas from DX, they just shipped my order from about 3 weeks ago. So if you are in a hurry, it will take a while.
No problem, I like to share. I ordered a few more for friends and my wife's Baofeng. I highly recommend to get a programming cable and use their software or Chirp....

This is a good place to start for Hamfests.
I've noticed the same, these brands do seem very similar. If you buy one, I'd be interested in your test results.
I was worried it would be a copy, but it came in the actual Diamond zip lock yellow packing. I'm going to order another one for my Kenwood with the opposite SMA connector. The price can't be beat.
I'm running a Diamond on my UV-5R and have had good results. I got I for $8.00 out of China from Deal Extreme.

I would like to be able to send APRS commands directly to the TNC via the serial port. This is a major oversite in my opinion. And Yes, limiting the altitude is ridiculous since they advertise the...
Upgraded this week, and I had one issue. The firmware would stop at 21%. I had to set the radio back to factory default. Then the firmware update went without any problems.
Here is what has...
I had the same problem on a 2008 Tundra. I have a Yaesu FTM-350R dual bander. The radio was getting into my drivers side front speaker from the antenna on the drivers front fender. I ran a ground...
X3 the base of the spring is shorted to your mounting tab. After you fix the feed coax, you will still have problems with the antenna radiating into the side of your Toyota. This will make your...
Check out my compressor build link below. You might pull 50A off an inverter to run a 1/4 HP AC motor. But that motor will strain to turn a York when the pressure gets up to max. As the York works...
CB side, tip is your positive audio out and the ring is the audio ground.
Stereo input, tip is you positive audio of one channel and the little ring next to the tip is the other audio channel. The...
Ham Radio Outlet on 43Ave and Peoria.
I did a similar install in a Jeep Cherokee XJ, in the rear right quarter panel. I installed 2 PC fans (one in the front of the panel and one near the tail light). The front fan pulled air into the...
If you buy the Yaesu GPS, the radio will output NEMA from the serial port. I've tested this with my FTM-350R and it works great. I know Yeasu is proud of the GPS, because I shelled out $70+ for it....
I ordered a Triton and had some problems with shipping. Long story short, is that my money was returned. Now that I did a bit more research, I'm thinking along the line of a heat exchanger. I...
I ordered and have not received my FlipPac yet, however in anticipation I have mounted my 2M/1.25M/70cm triband antenna on the drivers side fender of my 2008 Tundra with a Diamond universal lip...

I talked to Mario at AT today. He said he likes his, but it's a bit fragile. He suggested transporting it in something padded like a Pelican case. So that made me wonder, Anyone who owns one, have...
I just ordered one from Amazon. I'll post pictures when it gets here.
