I hope that one day,.. your shack will "come out of the closet",.. when it has decided which way it "swings".....Ham or C.B.... :D

Regards, Richie.

That little radio swings both ways. With a simple mod, that little radio can transmit on all the HF bands, VHF, UHF and 11 meters.

Hey Moonshiner, Did you do the transmit mod on the 857?

I have the 857D so I have to bridge the jumpers with solder. Not sure my soldering skills are up to the task.

Nice Shack by the way.
