I was shocked to hear that. I've been monitoring that frequency and it's happened several times a day over the past week or so. Never longer than maybe a word (?) or possibly two. Any thoughts on what I'm hearing? That sound is pretty unmistakable if you've heard it before... Read more View article »

As an example, I tuned it to my local NOAA VHF frequency and it barely gets the signal. I'm using a telescopic antenna and obviously only get the weak signal when the antenna is extended to the optimal wavelength. However, if I compare with my NOAA radio, the NOAA radio can get a much better signal at any antenna length. Even my UV-5R talkie with... Read more View article »
