If I connect my Nano3 to SDRTouch on my phone it barely (did I say barely?) gets the same signals CubicSDR on a laptop gets using the same hardware, w/same antenna. Is it a processing power thing? I like to think my phone is as powerful as my laptop... 🙏 View article »

Decided I need to upgrade the antenna, and put a Sirio P5K on a mag mount centered over the cab. AM is fine, but now when I go to LSB, if I turn the power up to 13 or 14 on the dial, the swr reads 1.0 - If I go to 15 or higher, I get a high swr warning from the radio. On the QT-80, Tx power settings go from 1-45. If I start speaking before the warning, SWR shows 1.7 and stays... Read more View article »
01-07-26 GMRS Repeater War Interesting repeater war going on this evening, hearable in the Quad cities area.

Someone is using some massive wattage to block the use of a repeater on 462.575 PL043. I'm not picking up any of the users on the input 467.575, so they're not local to my QTH. A lot of profanity going on. Makes me wonder what the parents who bought their kids FRS HT's for Christmas are thinking if they come across this channel (16) in their FRS radio. Based on their comments, it sounds like they might be in... Read more View article »

We are looking at areas around Loxley/Rosinton/Robertsdale/Summerdale/Elberta/Elsanor/Seminole/Silverhill right now. We want to be south of I-10 but north of the tourist spots. Our goal is to stay out of the city/town limits of those places. Are there any restrictions or "gotchas" that I need to be aware of? Any places less ham friendly than others? I know...

I will be 69 years old soon. In recent months, I have noticed that I am not as sharp as I used to be. I misinterpret and misremember things more often. To make matters worse, I have reacted by becoming argumentative and occasionally rude. I wish to apologize in particular to the DB Admins and Moderators for New York. Yes, you have...
