Wahhh then can I sell my 2200H for 1.1k instead? hehe....

Well if anyone really interested in a 2200H, I got one 99% new. Used for less than a week and stored in my aircon room since.
Might let go at RM630 I think.

For base rig, get the 897 instead of the 857. Trust me

Yes wiraone, have a used atas 120 with me that dont work too well. It can go up but sometime dont return. May offer to anyone here if interested or willing to repair. Currently it can only naik atas not bawah.

Sorry sorry guys, was away on duty for a while. Economy not good so have to find more business hehehehe.

Nah, the 2200h was bought for "pirate" duties with the scramble option card. This week would be pirate week so out it comes.

My current rigs (setup )

bizkutrai you got PM

wiraone, for me I want those 2 hf antenna since I am always staying in a hotel hehe.

Yeah man, I was eyeing the buddypole instead of that buddystick. That is really a lost chance for me. Lets see how the pricing comes in at. I am trying to set up a 10m this weekend. Wiraone wanna try CQ? I am roughly about 1,000km away from you. Lets say next wednesday night about 9pm at 28.400 see if we can make contact.

I think should be ok. I was able to hear a couple of KL dipole last weekend during the lighthouse contest. Lets give it a try, I am homebrewing a rotary dipole this weekend, must be very sure of my forward power before I hammer it down or else I will have a nice smelling fried 897.

1. Get a HF set
2. Get a 17ft wire
3. Cut the wire into 2 halves.
4. Tie each end to a post, wire up the middle part to your RG58.

There you go, a 10m dipole ready to listen. To tx you will need to get a swr meter to tune it properly

Errrrrr 6r HF are FM. There is currently no activity there. You can CQ with another buddy with another 6r, those Frequencies but thats not too interesting hehehe

These HF we are talking about are on USB ( upper singleside band ).

Added on July 17, 2009, 7:35 pmOk now I got a good bonus question for any expert here. I am stuck a bit.

Who knows how to get the VX8 to tx a tone out of ham band freq aka 139.xxx

Cracked my head enough and now its open to anyone out there. Else this VX8 would make a good paperweight.

To Bizkutrai, thanks boss, both MFJ and Hygain HF antennas arrived safely by courier. The courier guy just left and later tonight I will open up the package and lug it all over E.Malaysia

Get a V8 or VX170 also not that painful as those china mali sets

puxing and similar do not really have a VFO mode or tone search. Worse the S meter is either full or zero.

But half the price of either the icom or yaesu hmmm but icom or yaesu retains resale value.

Latest update ( saturday 22nd Aug )

VX170 = SGD170 + gst
VX3 = SGD230 + gst

Custom gorek RM50 <--- not good in hiding

Allo Wiraone,

Yupp there is still one Yeasu distributor in SG that charges GST. Very patriotic one hhehehe.
I forgot to get the form and stamp to get back the GST at changi.

by flight boss, KLIA kastam quite detail that day, of course no need AP cos RM50 also no receipt one

8800 if you are driving shouldnt be a problem ma. Might as well get locally, unless you are going to SG for vacation or other business.

Or carrying alot of fragile sensitive instruments in pelican cases. Surely open up and see if got VX3 and VX170 or not hehehe.
