Hi All,
I'm likely going to buy a new Icom 756 Pro-3 transceiver in the near future to replace my Yaesu FT-990 which is a great radio but I'd just like to up-grade to something new and the Pro looks good. My question is, I have an Amerition AL 80-B Amp. and I'd like to know if I can just connect  the Pro 3 to the Amp with just a regular RCA jumper to activate the Amp or is something else needed. The standaed jumper works fine between my 990 and amp now. I believe MFJ sells something to but in between a rig and an Amp to make them computable but I've heard the Pro 3 and the Ameritron Al 80-B work fine together as is. Maybe someone out there can answer my question.

Hi,
Im thinging of buying an 40 Ft aluminum tower. It's in very good condition except it has some stains on the lower portion of the base. I'd like to paint it and try to make it look new again. Has anyone out there ever painted an aluminum tower before and could you offer any special advice on going about it if other then just spraying is necessary

Thanks,

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone out there ever used a "Dosy" 3001 watt meter on 2 meters 144-148 MHz. It's the one that has 3 separate meters built into one housing, I like the idea of it and though it says it will work on AM Im wondering if it would work on 2 meter FM as well.

Thanks for your comments

Has anyone ever use a DOSY 3001 watt meter on 2 meters. It's the one that has 3 meters in one. If so, did it work correctly?

Hi,
I just bought a used Icom 275-H 2 meter all band (Which I think is a great radio) As far as I was told, It has the original memory backup battery and I was wondering what kind of battery it takes & if I should try to change it myself if the memory should ever fail. Right now it works fine. I just want this info. for down the road.

Thanks,

Im looking for information on Comet vertical FM antennas. Anyone out there own one and if you do, How do you like it?

I have heard that the Yaesu MD-100A8X base microphone "with an adaptor" would work with my FT-2600 FM 2 mtr. mobile radio that I use in the base. Does anybody know for sure if this would work?

Thanks, Sal  

Hi,
We are renting a vacation home for a week in North Carolina in the city of "Duck" on the coast and Im looking for any nearby 2 meter repeaters that I can access.I don't seem to see any in the book. Any help out there? Thanks

I would like to be able to use a desktop mic with my Yaesu FT-2600 that I use as a base unit instead of the hand mic. Does anyone know of a desktop mic that would work well. Im sure that Im not the only one that would like to do this too.

Thanks.....N2uog@aol.com
