Brand Name radios Pros/Cons thread. (Used/New)
1URFE57 replied to gman1971's topic in Equipment Reviews
I love my iCOM's I got a Commercial grade radios F221-s, F621TR to name a few Pros: Build like a tank, cheap, software is free, cable readily available or you can make your own Cons:Some are front panel programmable but mostly are not. -
I downloaded a few like win 2000 and 98 they work just fine and they're installer image use image burn to write to your install disk.
-
I can vouch for the Ebay Cable guy it's BlueMax49ers I bough all my programming cables (iCOM, Kenwood, Motorola) from him (Mark KJ6ZWL) all his cable are FTDi Chip fast shipping too. My latest purchased from him was the programming cable for XPR8300 and as what gman1971 say all cable works just fine.

Easy to install too but didn't work for me and I want a dedicated computer for just programming. And if you go Virtualbox route get your Old windows here:www.winworldpc.com no XP but they have 95,98, and 2000 and some latest/last release DOS.

Mototrbo XPR's are nice radios you get what you paid for but if you're on the budget try Kenwood and iCOM ebay has plenty to offer.

You need an old computer to program I bought a $39 Tower with Win-XP RSS is available online if you know where to look.

Thank you very much for the quick reply what I'm after is to have access to discontinued CPS not ready to spend those $$$$. Still waiting for the second part of account activation. Again Thank you very much! 73! Jack

You have to connect you wire and secure it with a screw at the back of the power supply Red to Red, Black to Black put a dub of solder at the end of your wire.

Etiquette for accessing unknown repeaters
1URFE57 replied to FrancisHaws's topic in General Discussion
I usually do this if I didn't catch the CWID on the RPT "This is *Callsign* testing access and standing by" and if driving "This is *Callsign/Mobile* testing access and standing by" -
HRO-Plano is your only shop in your area they ship fast too.
-
How many amps is your power supply? do you have enough amperage for your 45watts TK8360.

Bough all my radio and cable needs from them...DX Engineering and HRO-Ham Radio Outlet.

Is less always more when it comes to antenna cables
1URFE57 replied to eat111's question in Technical Discussion
Better just run it around than cutting it don't waste a good antenna mount you might need those extra length in the future. -
No need to worry your SWR is still in good range, if that is over 3 then something is not right.
-
I remember before I saw a 4 stack yagi for TX and a Diamond GP on top of it as a RX antenna it was Bus company's repeater back in the Philippines so it's doable but has limitation and extra $$$$.

I'm here in NW H-Town (Cypress Area) the only repeater I can access is NOVASOTA 725 that's 13 miles or so from my QTH if you can access that one I'll listen for you while I wait for my daughter's swimming practice. They're other repeater around here but you have to be a member of TEXASGMRS.net hope to hear you soon
