    Absolutely nothing like that. The only thing to do is to politely check that you have clear swath of 30KC or so, right? 6M is usually not crowded, right? I keep out of the sections that are on the band plan for DX or weak signal, etc. Someone might complain to you about the signal being wide...

    No prohibition. It might be considered rude. It's 15-20KHz. But the 6M band is hardly crowded. There are some freq's that are commonly used for standard bandwidth military sets, usually .000, .100, .200, etc. If they whine about the RT524, wait till someone fires up an old tube type RT68

    Hello Jeff, welcome to the ham radio section, or topic as it might be. In the menu, there is a forum for electronics, but not specifically for radiocommunications. I wonder also if that could be added? Also hi KC7EQO!

    What do you have in mind? although shipping could be very costly on 360 LBs of gear. Do you dislike anything about the GRC-106? The most common operator complaints on the GRC-106 /A are: 1.) the cooling fan sounds like a vacuum cleaner or a tornado 2.) the unit for sideband use has only USB...

    Ham Radio Operators / Steel Soldiers

    Too bad most hams can't fix their own radios much less build one from household scraps. The people getting into ham radio today are mostly equipment operators. They have little interest in the pleasure making something they can buy. That is a shame. Not learning code never stopped me from doing...

    Re: RE: K3TZJ Here Hello Doghead, Please join us ham radio operators! The Technician license is the easiest one to get, it is -very- easy! You can then use the PRC-25, 77, RT-524. 256, and other radios that work above 30MHz. Like the next post said, it's not an exclusove thing at all, it's...

    Re: Ham Radio Those are real good points! I love the GRC-106, except the darn external fan sounds like a vacuum cleaner. I wonder if it would be reasonable to do a mod to adjust its speed based on internal temperature. I also got one of the USB/LSB filter kits that the Japanese fellow was...

    Here are some small signal corps tags that can be superimposed on avatars. I have an amateur Extra these days, it was not too difficult. I hear the questions will soon be upgraded to encompass more modern concepts (types of digital encoding, etc), so get the highest ticket you can now unless...
