That wasn't you on the 405 SB ahead of me yesterday (or was it Wednesday)? Sliver LEAF with a lip mount antenna on the right side of the hatch? Got in the HOV lane right around Torrance and out again in the South Bay/Long Beach?
tgrich said:Yes, as a matter of fact, it was. Good eyes! I was actually on my way to participate in some automotive research where I was able to take an extensive test drive of Chevy's upcoming EV.
Somewhere in my ham pile I have an old MFJ 2 meter amp. Works great. IIRC, 10watts in gets you 160 out. even so - some ham radio folks say the company initials stand for mighty fine junk. I'm guessing they're just trying to be funny.turbo2ltr said:Think I want something like this.

Small, discreet..RG-174..
Nice job! Thanks for the pics and the hints. You can get a dual band mobile rig for $300 now? Amazing. I can't remember how much my Kenwood TM-741 was (over a grand, like 20+ years ago?) but I loved that rig in my old Integra.turbo2ltr said:So I finally got a radio in the 2013. I picked up one of the $300 Anytone AT5888 dual band radios and installed it yesterday. I really like how it came out... Head unit mounted in the sunglass holder...
Congrats!!adric22 said:Just a little update here. I have purchased a total of 4 amateur handheld radios. I bought the first pair off of ebay for about $50 each. They are Feidaxin FD-450A units and they only work on the UHF range from 430-470 Mhz. Since I did not have a HAM license, but did have a GMRS license I decided to program the 22 GMRS channels into these and test them. (Yes, I've heard this may technically be illegal, but I can't personally see anything wrong with it since I've set the radio to all of the correct settings for GMRS and I have a license.) So we took the radios out and tested them in some of the same places I tested the CB radios and the GMRS radios I bought at Wal-Mart that claimed "36 miles range." ..............snip ..........[*]The FD-450A's using GMRS frequencies - about 8 miles under best conditions.[/list]
........snip........
So it became pretty obvious to me that even with cheap $50 amateur radios, the quality was much better. I decided to start studying for my HAM license.
Anyway, I'm about to join the world of HAM!
