    I am a 2-way radio dealer with a specific problem with several radios that came in from various clients for repair. At very low volume the radios (Kenwood TK-3300 or TK-3400 series) perform fine. However when turning the volume up to a normal listening volume for a warehouse or industrial...

    For MURS/GMRS: what type of radio would work best for the job?

    What radio would be very useful and have great transmit and receive for either band; an LMR (type) radio or something cheap like a Wouxun or Midland? ofc both are on the same power levels (2w for MURS, and 5 to 50 watts for GMRS)

    Frequency Counter for MFJ transceivers

    I love my venerable MFJ-9420 except for the analog dial frequency readout, which is far from accurate. Does anyone make a decent frequency counter/digital display for these little radios? I can cobble something together, true, but I'd rather have something more polished and professional...
