    Yaesu: Yeasu FT-70D...what am I missing?

    Should work near each other, I picked up a second 70dr on the cheap and they don't defense near each other on simplex (but do with the repeater) but get feedback if the volume is high. Try simplex and check tones and frequencies. Nice little radios.

    Question about Crimping kit

    I like to put a lot of 3x shrink double walled glued heat shrink on crimp connections so all the bending is pushed away from the crimp joint. 2 or 3 layers of various lengths, if the application permits. just gotta buy heat shrink in bulk.

    WARNING: If you plan to get an Uniden SDS100 soon... Don't go to Amazon!

    Some people sell the children and eat the cat to support their addiction. The first step is to admit you have a problem, before it gets out of control. Hamcation Orlando is right around the corner, watch out kids and kitties!

    WARNING: If you plan to get an Uniden SDS100 soon... Don't go to Amazon!

    Amazon = quick gratification = addiction = unnecessary stuff Luckily your teeth don't fall out immediately. The 2022 dates and days on posts are off on posts, is that my cell phone or RR?

    Well, I am very, very thankful that Uniden replaced the "cold solder kid" with a brand new bcd325p2 with a much newer serial number and the same 2 upgrades (dmr and nxdn) at no cost other than shipping it to uniden. Yippee!!!!

    Apartment living antenna

    I use the Elk dual band, one to the north, one to the south on a alpha delta switch, on pvc stands. Could use this amplifier with a 5w handheld on 144-148 to hit 200 watts for simplex: https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/tek-pa-200v Elk dual band portable set up makes the 5w much more usable.

    Yes the baby has met its untimely devise in the hot car. I'll check on the credit card extended warranty, thanks for that suggestion,, purchase was a July, 2020. Wow, 600 bucks out the window, that's a tough one. I'll just have to beg, but even if they fix it its pretty much a guaranteed dud...

    March of 2020, I think, was the purchase date. It just sat in the car not in direct sunlight. Oh well off to uniden repair without a credit card for them to charge.

    Well the 325p2 cold solder joint kid couldn't kick the habit, fell back into its broken ways. Out of warranty but I will send it in under warranty anyway. That was a lot of money to spend for a dud. The official death certificate will undoubtedly read cause of death was 'covid related...

    Maybe a harmonic of another frequency, awfully strong though.

    Interesting, it was strongest in tampa, weaker in Pinellas, on my dual band radios and 3 scanners.

    442.342500 pl 146.2 tampa

    Was wondering what the purpose of this continuous frequency emission might be here in Tampa, seems like continuous non voice static. Doesn't sound like data, on 442.342500 pl 146.2. Maybe it links repeaters together or something. Scanner stops on it all the time.

    It will be baked in a hot stationary car with humidity and windows up, just like the 246t, 396t, and 396xt that survived similar conditions year in and year out, and hopefully the "cold solder kid" will survive like it's predecessors. Hopefully.

    USB for 246t and 396T

    Got the 396t back today, seems to work fine with USB as does the 246t. The 396t got a new selector knob and rubber port cover, but not a new rubber protector for the body, oh well, can't expect too much.
