**If you’re reading this post, I’m still interested ** Looking for, but not limited to Motorola XTS2500/5000, HT1550XLS, or JT1000 (regret selling my JT 15 years ago). I’m interested in your VHF (136 - 174) Motorola FPP-enabled, normal cosmetic shape. I don’t expect it to smell like a new car...

I recently bought a UV5RP and a UV5R and noticed they have different frequency ranges on them, but I’m wondering if I can pick an empty frequency and communicate with a friend on it. I looked it up and supposedly it’s illegal, some videos say yes it’s illegal and you get fined, some say you...

I am getting back into the hobby and looking for a power supply that will power my FT8900R or FT2800M. I would imagine with all of the tinkering I'm going to be doing it should at least be 20A. I had a SEC1223 or something similar and it went out on me a few years ago and haven't had a radio set...

Hello all, I am looking to get into the amateur radio hobby and I have been looking for a good dual band radio. The price on the ID-4100A is pretty good and so are the reviews. I also like the D-STAR feature. I was wondering if anyone recommends this radio, and if not, what are some good...

Trying to get this 207 to transmit on 2 m and receive on 70 cm. What am I doing wrong I thought all icom's were generally programmed the same. T/UL - 145.990 R/DL- 437.800 When I get to that point in the menu.. there is no option to split the frequency manually ? You cant just turn duplex off...

Hello! I hope everyone is doing well and is safe during this pandemic. On another lighter note, recently, I invested in my first base station. It's not one of the top brands, but I think it will serve the purpose. This was purchased as a kit from Buy Two Way Radios (Ham Radio Starter Kit -...

I have bought two 878 radios for DMR 70cm use, through two different vendors. The issue I’m having with this radio is the screen is slightly raised to the left. It is not raised enough to cover any texts or cut off any words. I’m particular enough about my electronics, that I notice it very...

Am I the only one who thinks that a dual band (VHF/UHV) handheld combined with a digital trunking scanner like the BCD436HP would be the best invention ever??? I would pay upwards of $800 to $1000 for something with these features and I know it's not out of reach. I was recently looking at the...

Hello everyone. I moved to Central Florida last year. Just recently I read somewhere that Amature Radio Operators were limited to a transmission output power of no more then 50 watts within any geographical boundaries of Florida. The reason being is due to Florida having an over abundance of...
