The speedometer in my Rav 4 is off by 2 MPH. The outside temp is off by 2 deg F. No, I haven't taken it back and complained, even though last winter when it was 1 deg outside, I had a 400% error Dave

My answer is often to use the PBT rather than the notch filter Dave WA3F HE HE that was what I was going to tell him, and then just deleted it. Other comment I thought was " then buy a Kenwood " gut
I don't think it's a case of 'dumping'. The Eagle has been launched. I have bought an Omni VII and love it. Now, with 2 Omni VI+ that have Inrad roofing mods and a full set of Inrad filters, I must c

Happy Birthday, Jerry Dave WA3F P.S. Thanks for all the info you provide Yah, I'm going to LEAP in here. First its Jerry, not Gerry. Its been Jerry all my life and I'm not changing now on my 69th bir
I have 2 Herc II with never a problem (knock on wood). It does pay to clean occasionally using only a trace of Deoxit. If the connections are not tight, you can try to bend them together, but for the
