  1. Happy Friday the 13th !!
  2. Does Anyone Remember the tricks that were used by Federal or Tactical law enforcement vehicles in the late 60's or Early 70's ?? You wouldn't recognize their cars at all ... Unless you got Right behind them ! The Antennas were Quarterwave antennas, usually Vhf and mounted INSIDE on the rear package shelf of the Rear window ! Under the carpet on that shelf was STEEL and made a Great ground plane !
  3. DO I ?? Yesssireee Randy, N9ZAS and WSCL633 !
  4. I use the 2X4 with no ground plane and it's Consistently 1.2 -1.4.1 on 2m/ Murs/70cm/ and Gmrs and even covers 222mhz. @1.5.1 swr although it's not really intended for that band. The previous antennas are no ground plane, but seem to perform better with one.
  5. The Comet SBB-5 are Excellent for mobile and even base use, and are ground independent. Also the Diamond SG-7900 as well with much more gain, and ground independent, but requires a permanent mount, or a 5" Magnet.
  6. Continuous Wave, but I'm sure you knew that lol!
  7. That is Cool !! Where did you come across that little gem ?
  8. They Are solid antennas, although there are Better models out there for the 2m/70cm bands.
  9. It Only takes 10 amps max to support a 50 watt transmitter, so not really true.
  10. I Might even hang this in my Shack ... except I know others, possibly related to him.
  11. The Anytone Tri band is a great choice too, For HAMS. The AT -5888UVIII which covers 2m/1.25m/70cm. and will RECEIVE Gmrs for those who want to scan it.
  12. Gotcha ! I'll keep my ears open for your call !
  13. Ok, that's Great !! I just graduated from my Skybridge Pi 4 to a Openspot pro4 and I'm much happier with it ! I'm typically lurking on TG3100 or on 91 Worldwide. I have my choices of my Rfinder B1+ or my Anytone 878 or my 578, or my xpr 6550 Maybe we'll yak sometime !
  14. Steve, Are you active on Brandmeister Dmr talkgroups at all ?
  15. I ran out of these for today lol, but had to add one !
  16. Interesting how SOCAL didn't have any comments for this thread !
  17. It seems RT Systems has become the go to for programming in both hobbies, and talking with them on the phone is a pleasure. All except for my moto's and a few Kenwoods I think I RT for everything else ! $$$
  18. I'm hoping someday, after reading everyone's comments expressing disgust at his rudeness and Lack of common sense that he may one day have a epiphany and realize that he's being an ASS, but then I'm sure that's asking too much, Oh well.
  19. I had to Hide my radios, when I was married ! Wife: Is that a New radio ? Me: No dear, I've had it since the pony express days ...
  20. SOCAL is a permanent Jerk off, but you'll get used to him being like that ... Maybe.
  21. Guess what ?? 6 meters was open yesterday and Today !! I made 11 new contacts on usb , and 4 on fm @ 50 watts !
  22. WE KNEW you were High but ....
  23. They're using their call sign, which Doesn't ID the repeater. That's the whole point, is to id the repeater with the call sign of who it's licensed to.
