    Unless I am mistaken, the Wouxon has receiver circuitry that is potentially more sensitive. A mouse trap with a better latch bar axis may or may not catch and retain more vermin than one with the cheapest construction, but if the cheaper one rids your premises of all of them, the money is well spent.

    Depends on your use and needs. Probably one of those if you have to ask, the answer is go cheap questions and answers.

    Usually more pronounced on tx

    Last time I worked in retail was 50+ years ago in a convenience store. Even when we rounded down, we were getting the best of the customer.

    Your reception is perfect for the antenna you are using

    Count me as a 770 fan.

    Stop stuttering

    I've been saying that from the beginning. Sad Beta versions foisted on the public and hailed as the greatest thing since the commercial bread slicer.

    No, the next target is paper currency. All the better to track you in everything you do ... Anyone ever think of where the phrase "not one red cent" came from? Copper isn't red, it is orange-ish. Calling them "red" cents came from when Congress debased the copper penny long ago and sharp eyes noticed the color change.

    Could be some other device at your house or neighbor's house if you have close neighbors. So many things have electronic controls that have the potential to give off harmful rf interference if out of spec. Anything from a LED bulb to your dishwasher, TV , coffee maker, oven, clothes washer, TV sound bar ... anything with a push button programing control or sequencer.

    I grabbed 2 and the mod chips. Saving them for project time when I retire ... counting down the months now
  12. AdmiralCochrane
    Compander chips and speakers larger than a 25 cent piece will probably do it

    Knife edge refraction definitely explains some of the very unusual propagation in Washington DC

    25 watts to 50 watts often makes a difference in clarity and readability even when it doesn't push a dB meter very much. All in all I am still a Tim Allen fan

    It's pretty simple. If you want the other modes, use the services that allow them.

    Congrats!

    What about a one station non linked DMR repeater

    APRS.fi is the real APRS. Bob Bruninga lived up the road from me and a handful of my friends knew him personally. He used .fi because his family was originally from Finland. Pretty sure his daughter is keeping the website active.

    I stopped washing the mud off my Jeep's tires long ago. Shiny sidewalls are for the mall crowd

    His grandfather designed the '58 Chevy V-8 where you had to jack up the motor so one of the spark plugs cleared the steering column. Back then spark plugs needed to be changed several times a year.

    The Iron Duke was the 4 cylinder - the Pontiac derivative of the Chevy inline motor. The V-6 was the motor in the Deuce and a quarter

    I agree. Ducks are for mall creepers, not real Jeepers. We got our first Jeeps in 1962. Several late 50's pickups and a CJ5. The CJ5 was just too small for any road use towing boats and was replaced with a CJ6A in 1965 that my father grafted a Buick V-6 into because he was against putting V-8's in vehicles that small

    Seems like there is always the tendency to make things more complicated than the really are.
  24. AdmiralCochrane
    I promise not to tell Randy

    This is why I bought the extended warranty on my 9800. Not this exact problem, but numerous similar problems. Mine has been great.
