It's not the cables so much as the different chargers for my various Part 90 Icom LMR h-t's I have to admit, I was lucky when I purchased my 1st Alinco Part 90 h-t years ago [DJ-MD40], it was on sale, & included the cable I don't use DMR, but I'm glad that my Alinco DJ-MD5 uses a standard micro-USB cable I don't remember if one was included or not

123.025 MHz is air-to-air for helicopters

Disclaimer: I'm still on CHIRP Legacy, so this may be different on the current/new CHIRP Open your UV5R file in CHIRP, click the Settings tab, then click Basic Settings, you'll see Display Mode (A) & Display Mode (B), click there, you'll have the choices of Name, Channel, Frequency Select Name, save your file, re-upload, & you won't have to go into the menu settings It's been my experience that on some, not all, radios, that if you change something in the settings through the menu, the radio doesn't/won't keep it If you make your edits in the software & upload them, the edits are remembered & kept YMMV 73

Here in FL there've been band openings in the winter & spring when the mornings & evenings have been cool I'm in the Tampa Bay area close to the Gulf & several times I've connected to repeaters up towards the FL Panhandle I know of ops that live on the East side of Tampa Bay that have hit repeaters on the East Coast when the conditions allow it A Tip: on those cool mornings & evenings, check the 162 MHz NOAA weather channels, if you start copying NOAA stations from out of town that's a good indicator of a band opening

The Wal-Mart I shop at uses 2 different models of Motorola MURS h-t's, they used to use one or two Ritron MURS base stations, but with the stock antennas on both the Motorolas & the Ritron, no roof antenna there Next time I go, I'll have to see how far away I can copy them

I watched a YouTube video of a couple of travelers being given a tour of the station I'm planning long term here, I plan to retire in 2030, as a gift to myself, I want to go out to SoCal, see Disneyland 75th Anniversary, & of course I'll swing by Station 127

You Lucky Dog It's Station 127 I wanted to go to LA for the 50th Anniversary in January, 2022, but they postponed it, when I found out the rescheduled date, it was already sold out :(

I still remember the originals, right from the pilot movie :-)

Calling Special Agent Oso Sorry, I had to...

I know mine were 12 cent, the only time I've read any 10 cent stories are in reprints To satisfy my curiosity, I just did a quick search and found: Both Marvel and DC made the move over the fall/winter 1961 period.

I started with those also, I'd have to look it up to see by how much I missed the 10 cent ones, I was born in 1960, I probably started reading comics in 1964 Remember the 25 cent 80 Page Giants from National [which is now DC]?

That explains why I could pick up VHF stations from Buffalo [2, 4, sometimes 7] & Syracuse [3, 5, never 9] when I lived in Rochester, NY, I couldn't get any UHF from Syracuse [24. 68] at all, & only once from Buffalo [29, never could get 17], & I think that was because of a band opening I probably would have needed a very tall tower to improve my reception chances There was a house just outside the city limits on the NW side that had vertically stacked TV antennas, I'm sorry that I never knocked on the door to ask what they were able to pick up

Unless I missed a Billy Ray Cyrus tune, it was Aaron Tippin That tune goes back a bit Anyway, nope, not even close to overdoing it

I just ordered an demo/open IC-F4021S from Ham Radio Outlet for $53.96, I'll buy the charger & AAA battery case for it But looking at this listing.....my Needing & Wanting are definitely at war Does anyone recognize the blue case model at the top? I've seen orange & red case Icom h-t's, but not a blue one Never mind: I think that I found it, I think that it's the IC-F3201DEX

Please don't say that, I'm really trying to resist temptation here https://www.mtcradio.com/u16809-as-is-massive-set-of-icom-handheld-transceivers-land-mobile-commercial/ $1,000.00 for the set, discounted to $888.00 when you place it in the cart I'd have to source batteries & chargers for them, but still.....
