Looking for recommendations for VHF/UHF indoor, desktop, window or possibly patio, mini-antenna or mini-discone feeding desktop scanners and ICOM R8600. Between 118-865 MHz. Need commercially available, no home brew projects. I know there are compromises, but that's life. Will probably end up with loop for HF, but this inquiry is limited to VHF/UHF reception (and possible 2 meter or 70cm QRP to repeater). Ordered a Monarch paper thin window... Read more View article »

It's setup with a NX-800 base station and a DCB encrypted tunnel. I am needing to figure out how to change the IP and settings so it can connect to another NXDN trunking site. I hope this is enough information to get started, but the people who set this whole system up no longer work with us... View article »

It appears that the mod for CB is rather straight forward for both and the cost differential isn't really a factor either. I would be using whichever I choose as both a mobile and base, at least initially. I plan to pair the radio with the SR-A10 mag mount. It seems that the 40 might be more using friendly, while the 60 has better power output. Being completely new to CB and skip, I am not sure... Read more View article »

Is it possible, or wise, to buy an actual handheld railroad radio for railfan use? Are they even sold to hobbyists? I would want a way to disable the PTT button because I wouldn't want to accidentally hit it and cause issues. I know the BNSF uses ICOM radios here in Iowa. Would any of these radios do analog plus DMR AND NXDN? I'm not a HAM, but I have been a... Read more View article »
