15 years ago, Troy lied to Larry about an incident. I have not been back. I live a few miles away and I would rather buy from ANYONE other than Rude & Lazy. They lost a lot of business. They also made it very clear that they do more business via the Internet or the fax machine and they consider the store to be a liability. Oh yea, nice people.

I do not understand the question, do you have a question??

I host my business web site on qsl.net as well as my ham site.

I never seemto have a problem getting Scott to answer my questions.

I have found a lot of interesting hardware solutions at DigiKey. Metric hardware, SAE hardware, all kids of repair parts.

you learned enough to operate a computer, that will get you a US Tech class license.

depends on plate voltage, plate current, whats the drive?

8950 is just a ruggedized 6LQ6/6JE6. Horizontal output tube (thats from a color TV).

not all FT50's are the same. Yaesu made several versions. Yours may not cover FM broadcast/Air Band.

FYI - the FT-50R is a TRANSCEIVER, it is not a scanner, it will TRANSMIT, and you must be careful NOT to transmit outside your licensed frequencies.

There is a big Yahoo Group that is dedicated to the FT-50.

build a coaxial colinear antenna.

I made one using brass tube from the hobby shop and the center conductor and dielectric from RG8.

Put the antenna in a piece of PVC pipe, feed with RG8x.

Modify the WiFi router is you want, open the box, solder in a piece of RG303 (short piece) with a BNC and bypass that reversed SMA.

no.

You need to test the device, not the surrounding components too.

make the cleaning lady buy you a new cable. I found new 50' CAT5 for under $8.00 at www.dalco.com. Make her pay the price that Best Buy would charge. You could tell her that you will give her a 20% discount and make her happy and you will still pay for her next cleaning job.

Another option... why fix it. If the pairs are intact, leave them alone.

OUTSTANDING JOB!!!

Finally, an UNEDITED database that I can access from my phone and not have to mess with the childish tantrums of the database manager.  73!

ok, what is the range between charges,
how long does it take to charge.
what is the charge voltage and current?

I use a silver ink Sharpie.

check out CB City International www.cbcintl.com

the owner is a ham, he specializes in CB to 10M conversion as well as PLL data.

Sears. They are ignition wrenches. The black case is SAE/Imperial and the grey is metric.

I have my AH4 mounted close to the ground, then I go up usig 450ohm ladder to a center insulator, then to a fan dipole... works great!
