Hello to all, I'm new to this forum so please forgive if I'm on the wrong thread. I have a brand new Icom ic-v80 that has worked perfectly well for the last months (although the battery does drain empty very quickly with the power off). But the novelty is that the handheld now powers on on...

I have developed an Arduino RTTY modulator. It generates the sounds, which would go into my handheld FM radio. I would be doing this in the experimental section of the 2m band, broadcasting my callsign, etc. I just wasn't sure if this would be allowed or frowned upon since the RTTY is still...

Has anyone else had any trouble with the top corners of the front case of Uniden handhelds cracking? This thing is less than 3 months old and I've babied it since the day I took it out of the box. Never dropped it or put any stress on it, never left it in extreme cold or heat. Nothing. Then one...
