I must disagree with you on using electrical tape to hold up coax on a beam or tower. Here in South Florida, electrical tape can't stand up to the heat and rain, and it will eventually fall off. Same
If you ever see the tv show called "The Daily Show", they recently had a feature titled "S*&t that isn't going to happen"; and the metric system was on there. It was hilarious, but the truth is, the

Unless you plan to use it mobile, I would spend an extra $100-$200 for what a used IC-7000 goes for, and get a used Kenwood TS-2000. I used to have an IC-7000, but found it gets very hot even in casu
I wonder if this, along with the new VHF/UHF module for the 5000, will send 12 volts up the coax line for preamps? I haven't seen any information on this, and usually when it's not stated, it means i
Unless it just (finally) started, LoTW doesn't do anything with grid squares. If and when it does, people who work from a grid other than their home grid, will need to configure their logging program
I'm looking for an amp for 222 MHz. Somewhere along the lines of 25 watts in, and at least 100 watts out. Please contact me off the list. 73 de W4AS _______________________________________________ VH
