New to the forum, so forgive me if this is misplaced. I will soon be installing a Motorola Astro Spectra in a 07 Silverado (NNBS). I am really avoiding drilling the cab roof to install an antenna, and was hoping to find some kind of "undercover" antenna that experienced users would...

I guess I'm the newest guy here. Other than getting my CM (PG00019763) back in 06 for work, I have little knowledge involving civilian radio communication. I have several questions so I guess I'll explain what I want to do first. I live in San Diego and frequently go out to our local deserts in...

RESOLVED!

I'd like to find a reliable SWR meter that is inexpensive, covers 0-500 MHz, up to 100W. Realizing this is probably impossible, What is your breakdown of products to cover these frequencies, while remaining inexpensive and relatively accurate / reliable? I'd most like to find a solid VHF...

I've a vehicle with a standard Radio Shack fiberglass CB vertical antenna mounted to the roof rack with a decent bracket. I've no desire to run 27 MHz but was thinking I could tune it to use on 144 or maybe even 6m. Anyone have experience with doing this easily? Would think I could cut it down...

Hi there, I'm lokking for informations about VHF LB stations. I found these on last few days: 32,0000 PL=218,1Hz 34,1625 PL=71,9Hz, 82,5Hz 34,2875 PL=94,8Hz 34,4000 PL=127,3Hz 34,7625 PL=71,9Hz 34,825 PL=82,5Hz Few of these sound like hungarian dispatch but I'm not sure. If someone knows please...

Hi, I dont know if this would exactly be the place to ask... but i have an HT1000 VHF radio, and a HT1250 UHF radio. i noticed the signal is a lot harder to pick up on VHF than UHF. I can hear UHF much more clearer than any of the fire departments or pd's on VHF. is VHF harder to receive or...

Hi all, First let me start by saying that if this question has already been asked/answered I apologize. I looked through the forums and searched and didn't get a full answer. I have a HT1250 VHF, Software Version # R05.12.02. I'm looking to purchase a UHF HT1250, Band Split of 403-470 Model #...

I've always heard UHF is better for urban and congested areas as it penetrates buildings better but vhf is better for open terrain and hilly areas as its longer wavelength always it to travel further in range. so my question is if your camping or hiking, what would be ideal in an environment...

I have a Sonar Radio CRX104 tube type VHF/High band receiver as well as a Lafayette tube type Hi/Lo receiver. Both are very clean and the tubes "light-up" but the radios do not receive. I would like to know if anyone still works on tube radios? 73, Gregg, N2UUP

Hello, I'm up here in Santa Fe mountains near Pecos and we get Black Hawks from time to time, today we had a flight of three go by, does anyone know where they come from, I'm guessing they are ANG but are they from NM? Any idea what frequency to monitor VHF or HF? Thanks

Hello out there, I was wondering what the "click" or "tick" noise is at the end of a radio transmission. I hear it at the end of a 800 mhz radio transmission and some times the end of a VHF radio transmission. Its not MDC, MODAT, or DTMF. Just curious to what it is. Thanks!!!
