Correction: 8900r HF is a N-FM, there arent any activity on FM mode HF in Malaysia. All HF in Malaysia are Single Side Band aka SSB.

yeap thats correct ... but that does not deem a correction, its still HF

Yes Joe I am mainly active on the 20m band.
Earl thats correct, I would however choose the 8800r as the extra cash is not needed for an inactive FM 6m.

I am happy that the younger generation here have an interest in legacy analogue system of the Ham spirit.

Earl have fanned a good group here and please continue. Us old farts are learning the cyberspace.  flex.gif

I will remain annonymous for now on callsign. Dont want to be drag into the 9Ms and 9Ws battles like other forums.

I however would visit here from time to time to help you guys and gals out on rigs and so forth. Please do sit for the RAE, its relatively easy on basic electronics and SOP. The time is right now, for MCMC might eventually remove the CW exam once the old hams and elmers agrees. Then 9Ws would be allowed into all bands.  rclxms.gif

lol, unless - u have some sort of conflict in other forums, i would say people in this forum is very well behaved, and the mod are very strict in here ...

well i dont really care, coz i don't have one - lol ...

lets say the SWR reading is high, then wat should i do if i oredi bought the SG7900?cut/trimming needed?

by the way, lets say i leave my jelopy(Car) in the parking lot(engine off) and turn ON the rig.then i crossband it with my UHF handy...will it drain off my car battery if there are Rx n Tx all the time?in short...does the rig consume a lot of energy??
*
by default all amateur band antennas are designed to work at the range of amateur 144-148 so if u Tx at this range they should always give u a 1:1.5 or a 1:1, but a 1:1 should be around 145, coz thats the center ... if u use it out of the intended range like say 143, maybe gets higher la ... still the ebst way is get a swr meter

and of coz la, it will drain ur batt, when u receive on the car from a repeater, its power consume is at minimal, but when it Tx back to a UHF band to ur handie - depending how much u Tx, say 5w? on a 3db gain antenna, i would say this is sufficient to cover at least 1km radius of ur home ...

minimum drainage la - but still its some sort of drainage going on, what happens if u forget to switch it off for a nite ...

QUOTE(someone_stupid @ Mar 31 2008, 11:52 PM)
umm i think ah maybe if u output lowere energy wun drain so fast? as in it'll still drain juz matter of fast or slow?

Yes thats the AA form to get the callsign after passing the exam.
The requirements are a weird as

1. You are not allowed to purchase any radio without license but to get a license you need to tell them what radio you have.
2. You are not allowed to go onair without license but to get a license you need to get 2 9Ms signiture stating you are competent onair.
*
Thats why u have pre-amateur radio clubs ... u get to use their so-called aa to buy ur radio ... but u would normally buy the radio then join ...

then u tx on that freq only la ...

hahaha - thats a good point ..

Again there is a BIG loop hole in joining commercial clubs  flex.gif

To join Radio Clubs their frequencies are in the commercial bands and you have to buy a Amateur Radio then mod it to transmit out of Ham Band Frequencies thus run foul with MCMC rulling.  rclxm9.gif  doh.gif
*
no not really, most radios u buy here in MY or from Sg or from Thai are able to Tx from 136 - 148Mhz

so there isnt any issue with joining those clubs and using any bands outside of amateur band.

and the mods are usually done to allow u to Tx way below that ...

the only issue is that most antennas are designed within the amateur band ... so if u use any of those commercial antenna, and then Tx in those club channel which is most of the time outside of ur amateur band, ur swr will lari a bit la ... so dont Tx high whiskey la ...

basically if u have an AA from commercial clubs, u are allowed to Tx in that one and only freq, so its not against any mcmc rules also ...

haha - dont tell me u wanna trim ur antenna so u can Tx on the club channel but at the same time will Tx more on th Amateur Band rite ... u trim edy, then u Tx 145 - 148, ur swr will go hish also ...

either u have 2 antennas or u dont trim and see where u Tx most of the time, i believe u will use 145 - 148 more, so dont trim ...

Earl,

How would you rate the puxing 777 ?
*
they call its mt 777, kenwood tk508, puxing 777

hahaha nice shit
really light
good batt(coz its lithium ion - chargin is bout 1-2hours only, but one thing is that, if its empty, its empty, u cant even monitor anymore once its empty)
i swapped off the ori rubber ducky with a diamond rh759 tele
config is kinda tricky ... scanning is slow ..

but hey those asides, its pretty damn well good i must say ... at 5w and priced around less than RM250 ... if u can get direct from china or that, its gonna cost less than RM180 ...
