This was well out of my listening area, but would have been very interesting had I been in range. A hot air balloon struck a tall cell tower. Two occupants in the balloon's basket were trapped at just over 900' feet up. Local fire, with assistance from multiple sources had to extricate the balloon's passengers and safely get them to the ground. Here's a YouTube clip from a local TV station on the...

However the specs say it should give a reasonable match on 2m (apparently 2:1 or better) but I can’t see a return loss of any better than around 5.6 dB which equates to a little over 3:1. Does anyone have any pointers as to what might be the issue here? Feeders are fine, installation is solid and I see the right sort of trends in the return... Read more View article »

It has become loose so it has to be held in position to stay connected and work correctly. The other USB port doesn't seem to be working, either. I had been charging the battery inside the scanner while keeping it connected to power. I didn't disconnect and reconnect it frequently so I'm not sure why it went out. I don't recall ever using the USB1 port so it must be something internal that's not working with that. I now... Read more View article »
