I used 1-3/8" top rail pipe for my mast you can see it in my shack photo's. For mine I used a 21 footer plus a 10 footer. Word of warning make sure you don't go to high without braces. I had way too much not supported above my roof line and it ended up bending over when good thunderstorm with...

I had and used one for roughly year or more and it worked very good. Had a storm with high winds come and it blew large branch out of tree and took down my setup. The antenna outside pvc pipe casing was busted up and inside found that it was made with ladder line that was cut making it a slim...

I'm down in SouthWest Arkansas and UP change channels as well. Moved from using two channels ARR 69 and 96 to one channel ARR 96 for Pine Bluff Sub and from one channel ARR 90 to two channels ARR 27 and 90 for Little Rock sub. Along with UP the KCS change channels here as well.

I've had a few that have giving me a hard time before cussing me and such, but I gave it right back and told them to pound sand... They didn't like that and kept on so I shut my PD only feeds down for a little over a week. ( these were only ones they kept emailing about) I also put their nasty...

UP has made changes here as well with their two subs. On one sub used use 69 and 96 now just use 96. Other sub used to 90 only but they moved the channel change over point so now they use 27 and 90.. For the yard used be 61 now they added 20 and 24. If you catch just right you can have road jobs...

Yes, I use three Electroline drop amps... Two are the single port (Think 2100 model) mounted at the antenna with single run of RG6U that feeds a 4 port splitter. One feeds my railroad feeds the other is used for ATCS. The third is a four port Electroline amp (2400 model) also mounted at antenna...

60 foot shouldn't be a problem. I have one run roughly 120 foot long and two others roughly 50-60 foot long.

I like to get out follow the tracks and explore the different area's plus I use google maps and such to help find new area then drive and see if I can get good photo's. Just be smart and don't trespass and you'll have fun. In looking found CSX has two Division for Pensacola. Atlanta and...

As ottomatic pointed out those that bought these and couldn't get them programmed with front buttons more than likely returned them to store. So i'd call these the new open box. In talking with CSR at Blinq he said they had New never open box, New open box as well as refurbish.. At the time when...

Good question... I've already sent mine back. But in talking with guy at Blinq he was saying they should be getting a bunch more in and to just watch their website or ebay store. Have to say Blinq CSR was a class act no issue at all to return. Even had a return label sent to my email before...

I just got mine from Blinq didn't have the new or new opened box at the time in stock, so tried my luck with refurbish one which i'm think now was bad idea. I think scanner is dead to receiving signals. None WX channels work tried using included antenna along with couple others that I have as...

Sounds like whats going around me. Since the G&W buy out of Rail America. I've noticed that two of the three local short lines. I can no longer pick up during their daily operations, but hear them fine when they're heading into local yards to do inter-change with the KCS & UP.

Here the RR info if it helps, Meridian & Bigbee Railroad owned by Genesee & Wyoming. They own a lot of short line RR, so might be seeing more of this. Meridian & Bigbee Railroad

They won't fully eliminate feed hums but high end ones do help... I've never had any luck using the cheap USB off ebay... Got 7-8 laying in junk drawer. I've been using I-Mic's and have had No issues so far. They cost lot more 27 bucks or higher... Here a link direct from maker. Sometimes they...

Not sure if you use facebook but if you do might start you a group their first and see how it goes. I'd also look and see if their are already any local or regional rail group close by... I belong to few regional groups that cover just the area around me and always get lots of thanks for...

Yes from what i'm hearing on scanner it's dispatch only. But let me make a few call to be 100% sure. Yes on Ops. Miller Co. VFD now has Dis Ch and two Fire Ground Ch. on Awin.

Yep the city both sides AR and TX along with Bowie co. are at stand/sit still for now. Miller County pulled out of Bi-State back years ago and has been doing their own dispatch since. But yes Miller Co. is moving forward with Awin. The SO has had system going good when Miller Co was one of...
