    What to do after you get your HAM radio license

    Yup, I'll have: DR-605 (2m and 70cm) VX-6000 2m VX-6000 70cm VX-6000 6m FM (Not sure if I'm going to keep it in 6M since it's limited on use) FT-450 (180m to 6M) Need some HT's too. But I'm thinking I'm going to end up mounting my VX6000's inside my shelter/trailer and making that a...

    What to do after you get your HAM radio license

    Test succeeded! My cable came in today. Took a read of the radio. Then opened the file in a hex editor. Found two references to 148000000 (08D24D00 in hex) that I changed to 144000000 (08954400). I was then able to plug away the local repeater frequency and PL. Was able to key and...

    What to do after you get your HAM radio license

    The 6K radio is actually a commercial/LE/EMS type radio. Sucker pulls like 26amps. So since I can't do VFO with it and the amperage draw, I thought I'd use it for a base radio since I can program repeaters into it. It can hold 250 channels. So I figure I'll program in every repeater I can...

    What to do after you get your HAM radio license

    Right now, a alinco Dr605. But that's going mobile soon I hope. I have a vertex standard 6000 radio on vhf that I'm going to hack the lower frequency limit on to get into 2m. Then load up the 14 or so repeaters I can hit with 40w. Then experiment on hitting more. Since the vertex has 120w.

    What to do after you get your HAM radio license

    I made a super j pole 2m/70cm antenna recently. SWR is 1.2 need to tune it a little, but man it's increased my range greatly.

    Scored My First HMMWV - Then Got Kicked In The *****

    I'd be ecstatic if a gov agency I work with did things in 8-10 weeks..... Just sayin', it can be worse. I'd enjoy driving a MV more in the fall than I would the summer as well.

    Where are all the HMMWVs going?

    You're correct, there's nothing political about the legal export of hummers. However, moving the discussion towards ISIS and politics in nature is. That's what was deleted. Hopefully we're done with that part of the discussion? :deadhorse:

    Where are all the HMMWVs going?

    They were deleted in the hopes the discussion would remain about the vehicles. Not the current political scene.

    Hummer MPG

    The streamlining was a bit of a joke. But it shows that they have the aerodynamics of a brick even hypermiling.

    Gl and JEMCO vendor ads.

    As explained, NI is a subsidiary of GL. So you'll see some links that go to GL, some to dove bid, and some to NI. JEMCO must be having website issues. Link is correct here. Searching for their links from google ends up with the godaddy splash page as well. Just like SCSG-G4 mentioned...

    Just a reminder, let's steer clear of turning this thread political. (ISIS)
