03-08-26 Saved another semi rare classic... Found a pretty decent deal on a hard to find Uniden Pro 810e base station on FBook. It looked pretty rough in the photos and was being sold in non working condition.... 03-08-26, 03:00 am Found a pretty decent deal on a hard to find Uniden Pro 810e base station on FBook. It looked pretty rough in the photos and was being sold in non working condition. Seller said it sat in storage for a few years and was tested for power on only. I took a chance and snagged it. Upon receiving it, it powered up and actually transmitted, but no RX at all, and the meter was stuck at S9. I took the whole thing apart, scrubbed all the casing, face, and knobs good, cleaned the PCB, reflowed the... Read more View article »

My... 03-08-26, 00:45 am I'm posting this thread in the interest of sharing my experience and to document setting up a base station antenna system that complies with NEC 810.21 parts A-K. My reference material is from this PDF from Mike Holt Enterprises. First step, acquire material for grounding. 40' # 8 solid copper wire from the antenna to a grounding rod directly below the antenna, no sharp bends. 30' #6 wire from antenna grounding rod to house grounding rod, buried. 20' #10 wire for bonding coax ground...

I’m noticing when I am in Houston County/Dothan (at home) I won’t hear any traffic from those neighboring counties. When I travel to those counties, I receive radio traffic just fine. Is this normal for these counties? I’m not up to speed on how strong their signals are. I know the FD agency I work with uses UHF conventional DMR radios and I can at least receive signal occasionally on my... Read more View article »

After buying the problematic Boafeng DR-1801UV its really put me off buying anymore DMR handhelds but I know I can't give up on my DMR dream because of one problematic radio. I guess its a question of live and learn when buying such radios. I've been interested in the Boafeng DM1701 I know a few people have those radios but I'm just wondering if I should expect to have issues... Read more View article »
