I got the shift worked out too but still can’t connect- I’m thinking it’s the Yaesu setup. More head banging for me

Are we sure that a system set up for 9600 will accept narrow band? I note that many of the Seattle frequencies separate the two. I wonder if that’s because 9600 is not downward compatible with 1200 **

Is the chimney aluminum flashing going to screw up my GP6?
Hi all, I'm planning on mounting my GP6 on the highest point on my house, the top of the chimney. As I evaluated the placement I realized that the top of the chimney is surrounded by ember protection

Paint a GP6
Tonight on the Rookie Roundtable Net, Kirt (K7KDW) mentioned that he painted his GP3 to give it a bit more camo. I was wondering, do you think I could plasti-dip my GP6 black to make it more stealth?

Have you bought from Quick Silver Radio?
Hey Rowland, I decided to buy my LMR400uf and LMR240 from DXEngineering since Quick Silver doesnt appear to carry the ultra flex version of LMR400. The Ultra Flex is more expensive than the solid core

What is your opinion of Icoms new ic 705?
I’m in need of a portable HF unit. I love the idea that this unit is both HF & VHF/UHF with lithium ion battery on board. Also same interface as the 7300. Only 10w but could carry an amp. What do you
