  1. Get your cable from Bluemax49ers off Ebay, search Ebay in the evening for motorola CPS someone selling them during night time and take them of during daytime.
  2. Looks like CW is dead in this Group...lol!
  3. Any one doing the K3Y this year? this is my very first year chasing them after 5yrs not doing any CW having fun so far.
  4. The ability to TX sorry I didn't stated it clearly.
  5. Exactly! but to be fair it will be expensive for people to spend some extra $$$$ for a quality meter if they only use it setting up GMRS comm. To be honest I just recently bought a Daiwa SWR/Power meter just for GMRS use since I spent more time on HF I don't even have a antenna analyzer I just slap my newly built antenna into my AT2K.
  6. For me Bird is the Audi of all around meter I need one but it cost a premium even in the used market.
  7. By the sound of the voice announcement it look like it was base on the Baofeng radios so I assumed that front panel will be the same minus the VHF band.
  8. Midland MTXA26 user here as well happy end user so far use it as a mobile and repeater/base antenna.
  9. What I like about the 8300's is the built-in CWID and easy to program and tune but of course you need equipment to do the tuning side I also has the EVX-R70 8400 in a cheap suit identical in nature but less the CWID both are good repeater and just fit in with my low traffic family comm application.
  10. In my previous QTH I use Logbook for CW and SSB contacts now I use Winlog32 for FT8 contact but I still prefer a Logbook I will start logging contacts again since I'm back with CW.
  11. You can program frequency steps by channel for ex. CH1 446.125 CH2 446.135 use the Zone for Channel Groups makes life easier.
  12. The radio will only draw its rated amps so you have a very good head room there and of course higher amps power supply gives you flexibility.
  13. Ouch! cost an arm and leg... ...Vertex VX-1400 is a good alternative even a look a like.
  14. I have two GP300 that I usually use I might add the XPR handies in my collection but I'm on the market for new HF radio so they have to wait. I also has TYT MD380 for DMR but I don't use it anymore I got iCOM F621TR in the truck very cheap since they're not as popular as the F221s and the F500s and of course the famous Baofengs... ...That's the thing with old school stuff they need old school hardware too some uses DOSBox but I prefer a real serial port.
  15. R70 running ok but its back in the box as a spare I miss the CWiD in the XPR and the GM300's are just fun to setup, iCOM F221/221-S are good for rpt setup as well but interface cable are not as cheap as the motos.
