The club meeting was nearly over, but Charlie hadn’t uttered a single word all evening. He was sitting in the rear of the room, which was also unusual. After 15 years of attending Lakes-of-Utah Contest Club meetings with him, I knew he always arrived early and raced inside as soon as the doors opened to get a front-row seat. The unhappy frown on his face worried me the most because Charlie was …

There will be lots of RF generated on 6 meters and up the weekend of June 9-11 during the 2012 ARRL June VHF QSO Party. While many amateurs think of the VHF+ bands as a “local” band for public service, emergency communications or even a bit of fun on FM repeaters, weak-signal VHF+ enthusiasts know better. Even with a modest station, it’s possible to work hundreds — or even thousands — of mile…

The KBRF-350 is an RFI filter used to suppress electronic interference caused by motor speed controls. These controls utilize SCR or transistors that switch on and off rapidly causing high frequency interference pulses. These pulses are easily transmitted through the AC power lines which can then enter other equipment wired to the same line. In addition once the interference is allowed to conduct through the power lines the wires become radio antennas which actually radiate electromagnetic energ

www.kcomm.biz This video shows how to install a NMO type antenna mount..It was mounted on a 2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck at Kcomm the ham radio store in San Antonio, Tx..I aquired my brother Tim KE5CFZ to help me.. The NMO mount requires a 3 hole which was drilled thru the roof just in front of the cargo light assembly..The coax was then run under the headliner, down under the inside trim, then under the kick panel to behind the drivers seat.. The coax was cut to length, pl-259 was soldered on & a Tram dual band antenna was screwed onto the NMO mount.. The antenna was tested with an analyzer & all SWR checks were good on VHF & UHF..

Modification of an Alinco DR-635 dual band radio (144/440Mgz) to expanded transmit capability (MARS/CAP) 137Mgz-175Mgz, 420Mgz-480Mgz range. Their are many other dual band radios with the same capabilities and more, this one is just one I stuck with as a simple, easy to use, no frills mobile radio. There are many other radio bands to use, this is a small slice I like to use because of its proximity to Fire/Law/EMS/Govt frequencies for monitoring. It’s close to FRS, MURS, and GMRS frequencies as well. Nothing wrong with our CB and longer wavelength cousins, antenna construction and size limitation gets a little challenging when you are trying to be discreet in those bands. Don’t want to spend the money either.

The IC-M36 has Clear Voice and Voice Boost, Which has a sub-microphone on the rear panel that inverts phase and cancels out ambient noise from the main microphone. As a result, the IC-M36 reduces the affect of background noise (particularly trebly noise) from the transmitted signal and makes it easier to catch voice communication. When in an engine room or high noise environment, the sub-microphone detects the ambient noise and the IC-M36 automatically increases the volume output to suit the sur
