    Rotating your coax: A guide for newbies

    I find it easier to rotate the transceiver and the antenna. I put the transceiver on the tower and the antenna in the shack.

    LMR-400 VS 600 for 200 foot run 20- 10 meters

    Thanks for the reply. The $260.00 difference does not seem like a lot, but as I start adding up all the extras (Rotator, Rotator cable, connectors, ground rod, water proofing.......) it adds up. I guess once I get my complete list I will decide which route to go, although right now I am leaning...

    Mobile Antenna

    What ever car you have would be the best. I drilled in a few different roofs. Just did one today in my old 2002 F250. It was very easy. Took about 10 min to mount an NMO. Most vehicles you can remove the dome light and drill there. Use a hanger and pull the cable to the side. Modern cars you...

    Where do you buy your fuses?

    I get mine from the grocery store. It is a multipurpose universal fuse. It is called tin foil. Wrap it around any fuse. No more worrying about pesky amp ratings. I also use it for making my hats. 😀

    County requires security clearance to operate ham radio Was: Dumb Question

    You don’t need a security clearance regardless of where you live. Especially the county requiring it. The county will have no idea that you have one. What if you live on a military base and use a PO box? I lived on and been on lots of military bases. Had antennas all over my truck, never have...

    What is the latest on citizens or media filing to enable monitoring local encrypted channels?

    My town does not encrypt, my county is not encrypted, and the State is not encrypted. I never heard any of that info passed over the air other than a license plate number that is on the back of their car for anyone to see. The few articles I read about encryption this was never mentioned by the...

    What is the latest on citizens or media filing to enable monitoring local encrypted channels?

    I have seen citizens complain, cry, say their rights are being violated, say it is unconstitutional, write their representatives, and demand the government reimburse them for their scanners. Then the police respond by keeping their encryption.

    Help connecting an unsupported scanner to ProScan

    Do you have a microphone Jack on your computer? I would try plugging the audio cable to that. On the audio control tab did you choose the correct input sound device?

    Inexpensive "random wire" (Slinky)

    I tried making a slinky antenna when I first got my ticket and had just enough knowledge to get in trouble, even though I past the 25 question test. I was in an apartment, stretched it out across my ceiling and hooked into a tuner. When I keyed up the mic on the 10 meter band, I got my first RF...

    Scanners For Cop Watching

    That sounds like a great idea. A few suggestions: 1. Get yourself a badge that says “citizens police oversight team” 2. Get dark colored SUV with push bar mounted on front. Place amber and purple lights in the grill. Make sure they are just a slightly different shade of red and blue. 3...

    Do truckers still use CB Radios?

    If I had a choice between CB and ham radio for travel I would chose CB. It is quite most of the time. When there is a major incident on a road with a long back up the truckers usually turn on the radio and you can get some useful info, hopefully before you hit the traffic. Even you get stuck in...
