HI,

My mobile station. VHF & HF antenna form high sierra side kick (motorize HF antenna from 160m (1.8Mhz) to 6m (50Mhz). longest station i made contact with someone at Guangdong china during mobile (with supervision of 9M licence holder). i'm also active communicate via 40m on the commercial band (also with someone with 9M licence holder). this only way how i'm practise to communicate via HF and it's not simple as on VHF.

bro ur antena look very..ganas!

for icom set; ICV8 was recommended by a fren

ICV8
This radio features military grade construction, CTCSS/DTCS encode/decode with tone scan and a full 5.5 watts out with the optional BP-222N battery. Low power output (0.5 watts) is also featured. The V8 has three different scan modes. These are Programmed, Memory and Priority Watch. Zoom through your personalized scan ranges, 3 user selectable pairs at 40 channels per second. You also get 100 alphanumeric (5 character) memory channels. Each memory stores frequency, name, tone, output power and duplex setting. Plus enjoy fast 40 channel per second scanning. Five DTMF memory channels with up to 24 DTMF codes allow remote operation. The optional DTMF decoder unit (UT-108) provides code squelch operation and pager functions.

Added on August 5, 2008, 11:11 amsantacruzer ; hw much did u bought it for?

gp328 n gp338 can only scan a few channels or frequencies? im blur by channel n frequencies bt i can use tat n sometimes can hear other ppl using on construction sites or those tow car ppl use wan
so itz abt 1.8k which means ure lettting go at? 500  

Dear friends, anyone know "cili padi" antenna can stand up to what output power..? is it can stand up to 25W..?

Anyone here heard of Kenwood TK 1118..? Okay?

Alamak too tired forgot to post pics last night. Nevermind will do it tonight.
Who offered me SGD500 ? 

Motorola GP328 are good commercial units. These units have extremely good bandpass filters.

hahah anyway back to topic. For ease of simplex, a good antenna like a home made J-pole for RM50 would do wonders with a cheap china mali VHF handset. 5w is all you ever need with a base antenna to another base antenna. Good pirates would be good ham operators in the end.

Earl let me think about the price a bit more.

Readily available slimjim I believe are ham area 144-146 with center at 145 ? Can it be adjusted?
You want to try a homebrew? You can get SWR1:1 on your 143 commercial downlink. You are legal on that Freq.
15w from rig would be 15w on antenna.

With SWR1:1.5, you get 15w from rig.. antenna only 7-8w 

Dude,

VX7 = Dual Band and Dual Monitor ( meaning got 2 radios inside, both running together. Can be VHF+VHF or VHF+UHF or UHF+UHF) plus 6M HF( FM mode). You can put one freq on standby and scan another Freq. You can MUTE one when both are active to prevent mix up.
VX6 = Dual Band and can only run either VHF or UHF.

VX6 is smaller lighter and is a newer model from Yaesu made from magnesium with all the bells and whistles. Good unit
VX7 is thicker and heavier older model I believe 2001 and made from Magnesium. Its basically a Vx6 on steroid. Have known bugs.

To add to the confusion, VX8 have been released in Feb 2008 and would be available anytime from this month. Vx8 is a new version of Vx7 which is slimmer and adds options like GPS and Bluetooth.

Disclaimer : As with all Yaesu new models, beware of the 1st generation. Bugs yet to be ironed out.

Phone number I will PM to you.
