Made built-in EiBi, POTA, and SOTA ... Read more View article »

Most people are running Baofeng's, some of the hams are running better gear (Motorola APX's or some flavor of Kenwood). That being said, I have been using a Anytone 878UVII Plus that I programmed, but am looking for something a bit more robust/duable. I have a NX-5700/5800 dual deck single head setup in my truck, which I use for drone responses, but am looking for a nice part 90 handheld for my ground team... Read more View article »

I have been doing SWL for about 30+ years on and off, and used to do CB back in the day, including building antennas with a friend that had experience and as it turns out, 30 years later I've forgotten most of what he thought me. I am thinking of getting the Par EndFedz EF-40-10-KW antenna to feed my Icom IC-7300 and I have some questions, I searched and can't find a definitive answer so I'm hoping... Read more View article »

But I'm working on a home setup (much of which would be portable) centering around a Stridsberg 8-way antenna coupler, and various power accessories for the TRX-1's, PSR-500's, AirSpy and Laptop that would be combined together with some additional elevation. I feel like I need a little more amplification, but at home I'm next door to a State Police tower with a VHF NWS station and a VHF P25... Read more View article »

The top is an aftermarket powder-coated aluminum top which will serve as the ground plane. The complete build-out may include up to four radios (GMRS, VHF/UHF, HF, and scanner), and four antennas on NMO mounts towards the rear of the vehicle. Two radios will be at the front (GMRS and scanner) and two ham radios (50-100W) may be at the back with remote heads in front. This setup will involve coax lines... Read more View article »
