Google maps took their ball and their bat and went home.

Realistic DX-394 was the last radio with knobs big enough to hold and switches you can operate without using a small stick to poke at them.

brushing a plate cap. that's a connection for ~350 volts to the plate of a big vacuum tube to you youngsters.
6  eHam Forums / SWL (Shortwave Listening) / RE: What was your first shortwave radio? on: May 05, 2012, 09:43:21 AM
Hudson Superheterodyne. Art Deco defined.
7  eHam Forums / VHF / UHF / RE: 902 mhz??? on: January 06, 2012, 02:34:55 PM
White Sands Missile Range uses 902 mhz to control target drones and missiles. you call CQ, target drone hears "turn left"

70 CM band is also restricted. optimum frequency range for ground penetrating RADAR is 409 - 432 mhz. optimum place to test ground penetrating RADAR is the biggest chunk of real estate with one landlord in CONUS - White Sands Missile Range
8  eHam Forums / VHF / UHF / RE: 902 mhz??? on: January 06, 2012, 09:47:48 AM
there is a vast tract of real estate in NM and TX where 902 mHz is verboten. I am in the corner of this no-no land. with a 5 call sign, you may want to see if you fall in this tract before you go further with buying gear.

compare the length of your brain stem, from base of skull to bottom of tailbone, to a half wavelength at 2 meters
10  eHam Forums / APRS / RE: How get around momentary power switch? on: November 27, 2011, 05:09:16 PM
old $25 swapmeet radios. Kenwood TR7400 is the best. set em up once, no pesky memory batteries, just dial in the right frequency and mount them out of the way.
11  eHam Forums / VHF / UHF / RE: All mode radio for 50 MHZ and above? on: November 07, 2011, 06:16:28 PM
the ability to operate dual band - 144 uplink, 432 downlink - for satellites

Why all the anger? The posts are interesting.

no anger, just a statement of an observation.

I guess I don't see why something that seems to have a rather simple solution is generating so much friction.

Egos, attitudes and arrogance. those with the egos, attitudes and arrogance will pretend they are just fine and I am the problem.

I'd love to see pictures! A Baja Bug loaded with more radio equipment than the car itself is worth! (Hmmm. Wait a minute. That describes MY car!)

you assume that the radios are valuable. in fact, they are swap meet / ham fest / ebay cheapos suitable for bashing about on limestone forest sevice roads. expendable commo...

HF gear is not mounted; that is operated from a folding table beside the road.

Way too many people with reading comprehension problems in this post.

do not get involved in tower raising / aligning dish antennas / any multiworker task if everyone prent is not in agreement with:

One ship, One Captain
XXX is that Captain.

Wow. Just... Wow. You have packed a great deal of humor into very few words

Pretty much the same could be achieved by setting the tracker to transmit whenever acceleration is detected (that's a change in velocity, or in direction).
He says to the Tech writer / Technical trainer at a DoD high explosives research facility who teaches people how accelerometers and other transducers work. I have installed about 20,000 accelerometers in my career. transmitting on a change in velocity or direction in a car that travels 45 MPH on dirt roads - about every 6 seconds.

And you need not to touch your car's electrical system.
Dude, it's a Baja Bug. everything is modified. 3 - 2 meter radios, a CB, an HF rig, inverter, stereo, 6 antennas, there are about 20 yards of extra wiring in there now.

you can remove or lever up one leg of the internal one and install a remote led outside.
and it will look like a baboons backside. the guy who has cases made up commercially and silkscreened in batches of 1000 generally makes it look better than the guy who cuts up a Radio Shack PCB with a Dremel and mounts it with foam double sided tape.
