Portable coverage looks very poor from the provided maps. If those are correct, the "upgrade" would have worse performance than the current system. Does anyone know if they state has started any site deployment? Document says Motorola claims there will be... Read more View article »

I seen on the wiki 2 new sites are coming for the IPSC, these sites seem weird they seem to be building 4 towers on each of the 2 sites. Possibly gonna be a simulcast system for Newton county. I wonder if the one site they have already will be part of this. Or if it will be 2 separate systems for each tower site. Anyone have... Read more View article »

Last week, I saw one online for a decent price, mint, not a scratch on it, with the display light still working like new. I made the guy an offer and we closed the deal. Today, it came in the mail. This baby is mint inside an out. Top and bottom plastic covers don’t have a scratch or nick on them. Both feet are in tact. Other than a 9 volt battery, it... Read more View article »

My problem is, I keep going through soldering iron tips... 02-20-26, 03:30 am Greetings! I am in need of some advice. I’m gonna be doing some PC board work on an older ham radio soon. My problem is, I keep going through soldering iron tips constantly and they are not lasting long. What variable soldering iron can anyone recommend to avoid this problem? I have been using the cheaper 30 watt over the counter ones. Tips get worn out too quick even with Constant cleaning. I feel I might need to invest in something with better quality. Your suggestions are appreciated... Read more View article »

I bought a Nooelec RTL-SDR v5 SDR dongle. I downloaded and installed SDR# and SDR++ and SDR.consol software, which are all working. I connected a 4" wifi antenna to it (all I had). I can get several FM stations and NOA weather stations and lots of beacons and such but nothing to listen to. Part of the problem is learning the software, I'm also set up... Read more View article »

I was also curious about the Sheraton Hotel. I stayed there recently and didn't see any staff around that was using radios. I also did a quick TAFL search and it looks like they have some frequencies lisenced to them but I never heard any activity. Thank you View article »
