In my short history in the hobby, bad coax and a noisy power supply have been my two main sources of issues (not including operator error like the tuner I let the smoke out of lol)

What a great read. Thanks for taking the time to post this Chris.

I still have this. FREE to a good home if anyone would like it.

Well good. I’m broke anyway!

Jeff, I’m not sure how I missed your reply but I didn’t catch the notification. Congrats on your ticket and I think you made a great choice with the 7200.

For other equipment suggestions, my personal flavor (originally recommended to me by Chris K4HC) is as follows:
-LDG Auto tuner like the AT-100 Pro II
-130′ dipole (or as long as you can get…[Read more]

Mark, you probably know this already, but you can import directly into Chirp from repeaterbook and radioreference. That’s what I’ve been doing.

In case Scott’s file leaves you unfulfilled, lol.

Jeff, I think you are right on with the choices you listed. What kind of radio and tuner are you using? If you haven’t bought your tuner yet, many of those have a meter built in. Then you may only need a meter for VHF/ UHF which is less expensive.

Just a thought.

So tempting. I may hit you up after 13 colonies. As little as I get to chase DX, I need all the help I can get!

Great price too Cameron. That’s awesome of you to offer it up here.

Hi Jeff,
Congrats on the purchase of your 7200. It’s an awesome rig and the built in interface works great so don’t worry! Have you received yours yet?

I was basically swapping to the Signalink out of pure laziness. When swapping from SSB phone over to JT 65, the 7200 requires a few extra menu button presses when switching modes than what is…[Read more]

Nice mods!!!

Congrats on passing Extra Class Layman! Hope the CD’s helped you out. Richie, you need to jump on this!!!

I have decided to keep this Signalink for use on my 7200 instead of the built in interface.

Thanks for looking!

Did your bro come home with an Elecraft? I heard you mention he was interested in one.

Thanks for sharing John.
I hope this is a good thing for TT/ Alpha.
I had not heard until now that Boafeng had acquired Tokyo Hy-Power.

The Conover Ham Radio Trifecta! That’s great you guys are all hams. We’ll listen up for him.

Tell him careful not to spill that Kool-Aid! haha Wish I could afford one because I’d be drinking that stuff too.

I’ve picked up 3 new DXCC entities on LOTW so far from the contest. It didn’t seem quite as productive as the ARRL DX event but both were fun!
