Does anyone know who repairs HF radios? My Kenwood 830s has a VOX problem
I heard there was a tech in Fall RIver. Thanks

Hi everyone,
Jim WA1GPO loaned out an HF setup for my son KB1PTT and I N1UVW We are both Generals. We enjoyed HF so much we just purchased a used Icom IC-706mk11g. My question is what will I need for mobile operation. I have now a Yaesu ft-8900 quad band with a comet UHV-4 Antenna as my mobile. Will I need an antenna tuner or will a screwdriver type antenna be sufficient . I suppose I should have done a little homework before the purchase!.
Thanks

Brent: You need a special BNC connector for RG174U and a crimp tool.

We use these at work, I might be able to get some crimped on.

I also have a few BNC connectors made up on both ends of RG174. These are short lengths-you are welcome to them if you want them.

I'm looking for a reducer that will allow me to use RG-174 with a BNC connector. I've used reducers for RG-58 with the UHF connectors, but I haven't been able to find one for RG-174 & BNC; can anyone point me in the right direction?

Use this forum to get help with amateur radio topics from other FARA members. The idea is to start a discussion on some topic, say "is a special interface really needed to get started with PSK-31?". Hopefully other members will check this message forum periodically and someone will be able to give you an answer to your question. The more suggestions (and opinions) you accumulate, the better! If this message forum evolves into a several large topics that keep going on and on, we'll probably split off one or more specialized topic forums. Let's see how it goes.
