I have for sale a nice, clean Paragon with the matching 960 power supply. The only non-functional thing on the transceiver is the optional RS-232 board. Included are 1.8 KHz, 500 Hz and 250 Hz filter
This WAR is for REAL. More real than most Americans seem to know. To get out of a difficulty, one usually must understand it and go through it. Our country is now facing the most serious threat to it
Jim, The Ameritron RCS-4 handles the legal limit, feeds power through the coaxial cable and provides control of four antennas, all for about $125. I've used them for years and, except for a lightning
Sorry you feel that way, Skip. I give my Orion frequent workouts. I chase DX on 160, 80 and 40m mostly. My Orion was one of the very first batch shipped. I don't share any of your opinions regarding

I'll be happy to buy into your position, Bill, as soon as you can tell me how a licensed service can interfere with an unlicensed service. Dave Heil K8MN
Yuri you'll perhaps understand that to some, your posts might seem to indicate that they're about mostly arguing and lecturing. You aren't the only fellow here who is a contester. There is quite a bi
Steve, The "CM" just stands for Chicago Miniature, the manufacturer. The bulb is the most common pilot lamp in all of amateur radio, the 6.3v #47. 73, Dave K8MN
