I’ve noticed this comes up not just with casual listening, but also when people are using radios more as a coordination or monitoring tool (events, team activities, emergency/weather monitoring, etc.). I’m curious how common this actually is — do others wish their handhelds were more “ambient” around the house (hear traffic anywhere, talk back if needed), or do... Read more View article »

Over the years I’ve tried hard cases, tool boxes, camera cases, lunch boxes, and everything in between. Each has its pros and cons, but very few truly suit regular, low-profile portable radio sessions. After a couple of outings with the Vanguard Vesta Aspire 25 Shoulder Camera Bag, I’m confident this one is a winner. For something a bit different, I made a video this time View article »

Link all analog repeaters together so that they have activity on them, this way they'll be UK wide and with internet links they'll also be world wide rather than repeaters sitting forever dead like many of them here. Surely it must cost money to keep these old disused analog repeaters going. Simplex... have more events like 145 Alive to encourage simplex activity, we need... Read more View article »

I have a pre-amp powered by a bias-t to overcome a long cable run that I wasn’t able to avoid. I want to add a 150 MHz to my mast, and I’d love to use a diplexer to stick with one cable run and run that line to my scanners inside. If I have to run external power I will, but really want to keep it simple with the cable powering the preamp. The issue I’m running into... Read more View article »
