Huh-I never thought of QSL cards-what I had in mind was to just have a thread in here where we can post up what hams we heard making a decent distance trip.
I like the idea. There is already a SWL forum, maybe the Admins could break it down to "HAM" and BROADCAST" sub-forums. |

A public forum really isn't the place for this Then why did you do it here? Mike's post was neutral -- he basically said he was no longer affiliated with your company. Then you had to jump in and say he was fired. Tacky, tacky. Agreed. |

Ya know I could be wrong (  ) but I do believe that all Yaesu radios come with a microphone. I have purchased several new Yaesu's over the years and every one of them came with a hand mic, no matter if base or mobile. Same with Kenwood and Icom. -chuck |

eHam Forums / Misc / RE: Hams using the 11 meter band with ham equipment !

Hi
What makes you think that are licensed hams?
Why would they want to be on the 11 meter band?
Makes no sense...
JohnB
I know several HAMS local to me that use their HAM equipment on 11m, and they ARE HAMS, I don't have to think they are HAMS, I KNOW THEY ARE HAMS. And a few of them have slipped on occasion, blurting out their HAM callsigns by accident. Why they talk on 11m? I don't know the answer to that one. It doesn't have to make sense. And it has been happening for a long time, not just recently. -chuck |

I got one--not from Amazon, but from a dealer. When I received it, the darn thing wouldn't work. Charged the battery, checked and cleaned the contacts, in short, did everything but open the thing up to troubleshoot it. It still didn't work. When I returned it, the dealer told me that it was a common problem, but the things worked well. How they 'worked well' if that was a common problem is beyond me!
I was offered a replacement, but opted for a refund. No thanks--I won't order another.
So which make and model did you have a problem with? Just curious... -chuck |

I bought 3 of these at a HAMFEST for $110. All 3 worked fine right out of the box, and have been reliable radios. Wide band rx-tx a plus also. At this price they are "disposable".

Happy Thanksgiving to all. Well, Todd, its been about a month since you posted. I believe you decided on the AL-80. The first line of your post is what caught me, "I am on a limited budget". Well so am I, which is why I followed this post as it wandered around, trying to answer your question.
I bought an AL-811, used, thru Ebay several years ago. It has worked well, with one new set of tubes last year. But I'm looking to upgrade soon after the Holidays, so have you received your new amp, and how is it working?

N6QS,
Your first mistake was coming to this forum and asking the question. You should have gone to the guys with the Alinco radios and asked THEM where they had their radios modified, then had it done. Unless someone "dimed you out", no one would be the wiser. Then you could have avoided all the lectures about the legalities, and the sarcastic remarks, which are so typical on here.
I'd be glad to help you if you want to contact me off-line.
And thank you for your service.
-Chuck
