I want to punch in some frequencies for a ham bank I'm putting in my scanner. I understand that 446.000 is the national calling but are there any more that are commonly used for simplex communication? Particularly in the 70m band.

Hello all, I would like to scan as many HAM frequencies as possible. Are HAM freqs the same all over the US? (I'm not talking about call signs, just a range of freqs) Does anyone have a list or point me in the direction of a list of each individual frequency? I don't see any list in RR...

Can someone please help me decide between these two radios? What are the differences and what are the pro's and cons? I would like to use on standard amateur UHF bands on simplex and repeater offset as well as get started with DMR nets. Thanks for your input..

Anyone know what this net is? I have no idea. It was on 6977 khz at 10:30 pm GMT today (Sept 23rd). I'm sure it's maritime related, but it sounded like a ham net....but absolutely not on 40 meters as it was in the 6 meg range. Is that a maritime ssb frequency? If so, what's the net called...

I was wondering about one part in particular of the FCC Rules regarding Ham radio. Essentially, my question is: If you are a LICENSED Ham operator, are you authorized to transmit emergency messages out of ham bands in an emergency situation? My hypothetical situation is: I'm out driving...

I am a ham op and also on our local FD, so I know that our county has to comply with the FCC mandate for narrowbanding of all public safety/service frequencies in the VHF & UHF bands, but will the narrowbanding mandate effect the 2-meter VHF and 440-UHF amateur bands in any way? (ie, will...

I am building an inverted V for my 10 meter mobile and was wondering if the Davis Bury cable or 9913 would be the best shoice for the feed line? I am getting back into HAM after about 20 years QRT and am re-learning a LOT! 73's Hank

Why is it that the Ham radio repeater in Killingworth requires an input PL (110.9) but when it broadcasts its own identifier, it broadcasts with no PL? Is this common practice with Ham radio? I am not at all familiar with amateur radio and only noticed when I was monitoring the channel with a PL...
