Would have liked to, but price was a factor. For ~$80 less than the VX-8r I was also able to get a Comet antenna and a microphone. The -6r was already a step above my original plan of the FT-60r.

That or Icom 2820... I hear lots of bad things about Icom's mic PTT buttons. Nothing that I couldn't fix but the hassle might make looking to Kenwood a better option. I kind of like the thought of having D-star as well but who knows... I'd rather buy a new gun than a new radio right now. The old saying applies. IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT!

Glad to see this thread, it's good to know other Hams that have a common interest.

I'm not concerned about giving my callsign on a public forum...geesh.

WB6K = Primary Xtra class
WB6VMV = El Segundo ARC Trustee
W6AGO = Aerospace ARC Trustee
KW6WW = Wrightwood Communication Group Trustee
Accredited VEC
WAS 40mtr. 20 mtr. 15mtr. & 10mtr.

Wife's call, K6KLT

Radios...plenty

Active HF DX chasing and fool around with Hi-Fi SSB

Tower one for HF work, Cushcraft D40 rotatable dipole @ 80' Cushcraft A3ws 12-17 3element @ 70' KLM KT34 tri-band 4 element @ 60' Ameritron 1kw. M- Audio studio condensor mic, Beringer 7 band equalizer.

Tower two for VHF work, KLM 2mtr. beam, 220 beam. 6mtr. beam phased 440 beams, Dual band vertical tops it off.

Congrats to all the new Hams that posted.

In Wrightwood, almost 40% of the town are licensed now, including our CERT members. With the San Andreas fault running directly underneath us it couldn't hurt.

I also carry my Ham HT along with the Dept. Radio while on patrol on weekends. Have had several occasions when it has worked when I couldn't get out with the brick I have to carry.

I guess it would appear that way but that isn't the case.

Shooting with my Dad at age 6 =#1 hobby
Riding motorcycles since I was 10 and still ride ( own & ride 4) = #2 hobby Quit racing at age 42
Machining became my career at age 18 directly out of High School until the ballistic testing came into the mix a few years ago. = Life
Ham radio get's fit in between when I'm not in Wrightwood doing My reserve FS Patrol gig.

Taking care of two places and keeping up with my home machine shop buisness takes up a lot of time as well.

Grass doesn't grow much under my feet.

Default They did away with morse

Now all you need to know is how to turn the radio on.
No need to know anything about operating procedures, SWR, antennas, feedlines etc.

And talking car to car on a high level repeater is taught as good operating procedure now.

I hear the FCC is planning to allow a license out of a Cracker Jack box soon.

35 year Ham.

Mount the radio in your truck. By the time you get it all setup the way you want it, your callsign will be almost ready for posting on the FCC ULS website.

For people installing your radios in your truck. Here are some ideas. Just don't drill into the back wall, I have MDF amp rack back there that I used

The way you get good is learning to listen to a bunch of experienced ham radio operators talk on the radio and then figuring out when is a good time to jump in and when it isn't. You just need to use that PTT button at appropriate times and get into a 5-10 min conversation with a random person on the air.

Been a ham since I was 13, mostly operate HF CW, DXing and in contests (as a guest op since my antenna is currently down). Occasionally operate 2M for air-to-air and air-to-ground comms while hang gliding. Did 1 DX-pedition to SV8 Thira Is. Tons of fun being on the other end of the pileup for a change.

Hello all!
KC6TTZ-General

Way to many radios and not enough hands.
Almost enough antennas.
HF, VHF, UHF all modes
Latest expenses are a jeep-cj5 and guns.
Who wants to go to the top of a mountain and throw a wire over a tree?

I'm at the other end of the San Joaquin... long way from Stockton.. but I do have an HF mobile setup. Maybe when you run that wire over a tree I can work you.

It will probably be summer when I get to the mountains again. My jeep is open so it is a little cold to take it the the snow. What frequency do you hang out on? I would like to get a little rag chew group going on hf. I don't really know anyone on hf right now.


Fresnohunter

What is wrong with your Yaesu? I have done alot of work on radios for me and friends and have most of the test equipment needed. Alignments, intermittent problems, no output, no receive and things like that are easy. If it is microprocessor related then I don't have the equipment for that. I don't really know of any shops around the area as I do all my own work.

I'm a lurker... I used to hang around 3913 when I had my G5RV up... but 80 meters is hard to work mobile so I stay a bit higher now.

I check into the noontime net on 7268.50 on occasion... but I mostly swing around the band looking for people. 90% is on 40 meters.

I'm a lurker... I used to hang around 3913 when I had my G5RV up... but 80 meters is hard to work mobile so I stay a bit higher now.

I check into the noontime net on 7268.50 on occasion... but I mostly swing around the band looking for people. 90% is on 40 meters.
I lurk alot too. Lets set a time schedule and pick a frequency. I can do any of the bands. Let me know.

What is wrong with your Yaesu? I have done alot of work on radios for me and friends and have most of the test equipment needed. Alignments, intermittent problems, no output, no receive and things like that are easy. If it is microprocessor related then I don't have the equipment for that. I don't really know of any shops around the area as I do all my own work.
User 63 The radio works fine for like 30 minutes. Then I have to adjust clarifier cause the receive starts to go bad, my friends tell me my signal strength drops at the same time. When I check the power output, i am only putting out like 5 watts on AM/SSB. On FM it shows full output. I touch the back of the radio and it barely feels warm. I shut the thing off for like 45 minutes and turn it back on and everything is fine again. Always the same scenario. One guy told me it might be a cold solder issue, another said maybe a resistor. I will likely have to send it off out of state to get worked on.
