[295 antenna]

I just purchased a rci2970n3 from a Florida cb shop

[Bobcat]

Just got back from an estate sale that looked interesting.... and it was! Not so much for CB but for HF Ham work....

MFJ-949E Versa Tuner II (300W capable antenna tuner, still their current model, lists for $219) - $25
MFJ-4125 13.8v 25A SMPS (lists for $99.95 @ MFJ) - $18

I recently acquired a Yaesu FT-102 w/am-fm board, MFJ Deluxe Versa Tuner II Model MFJ-949C(Unused in box), and a di-pole antenna. Considering selling rig, or modifying for 11 meter use, but need a mike. Previous owner only used for CW.
Am preparing to assemble a quad beam setup for 11 meters from parts of several old quad antennas that I have taken down or bought in past years.

I recently got a Maco 5000 antenna, have reconditioned a wind up tower, now have put the 2 together and yank it up into place

I just bought an old GE Model 3-5810B 23 channel. I figured I'd stick it in my old truck for emergency purposes, etc.

I also have an old Robyn WV-23 which I thought I might put in my car.

And I have an old Johnson Viking 4740 40 channel side band that I wanted to set up as a base. However, it does not power up. Do you think it might be worth investing in to check it out?

I only found one little blurb on the Viking. But, I did start a new topic. Thank you!

Just picked up a cobra 90 ltd base station last week. Needs a little work but happy to get another one after all these years:)

[Double J]

Recently bought new RCI 2950cd.
Tuned myself (aka power down adjustment and up with mod for w/ amp use) and easily converted running a second hand Turner Plus 3 on it running off a 23 amp switched supply and a cobra 350 2 x2879 running off a 50 amp switched supply. Not my first 2950 but digging the new display.
Dont have a permanent setup yet. Sharing space with wifes computer. Lol.

[mikepa]

Just picked up....Kenrick eagle 515 amp...wow its been so long since i had a base (110 volt) amp whick was a D&A hornet and that was about 25 yrs ago

[nosaj]

Just got a tinySA spectrum analyzer for $60 So far what I like best is the ability to produce a tone on pretty much any modulation to see if a radio can hear and if it is on frequency. Also got the nanoVNA pretty nifty tools about the size of a cigarette pack compared to what I used to use URM-25

Woohoo yard sales are hot again this year.just picked up a ham international multimode 3 for ten bucks.Have never heard of them,has some odd features compared to other radios,like a off switch for the clarifier?I have trying been trying to find a user manual but all I can find is service manuals for making changes to the radio?Anyone know if that's all there is?Could someone maybe tell me what the switch that says 0.5,4w,comp on is? I get the first 2 settings are output power but what the heck is comp on?

[KP68]

Would this be of help?

Just ordered this earlier today. Hope to have it by the weekend. It's gonna be replacing a home built wire dipole. And i hope to be able to get it in the attic. That would put it close to 20 ft.

[Blue Ox2]

Cool Beach. You could prolly do better with that.
