    Travelling Ham

    You are right John - my little Kenwood TM-271 has 200 slots for memory channels and you can put different repeaters in different "bands" I call them. Of course I'll now call them cities or states instead of bands. Talking about computer controlled programs - my TM-271 would not retain anything...

    Travelling Ham

    Thanks Carson and John. How about that - replies from Detroit and Florida. I can take Carson's advice and do my homework before I leave by using John's advice and getting Travel Plus program from ARRL;  Program repeaters into different bands for different areas on my 2 - meter; and, if I don't...

    Travelling Ham

    When I am on the road in my class C with a lot of miles to cover before stopping for the night - I would love to have someone to talk to on HF and/or 2-meter. I don't do CB because I often have grandchildren with me and do not want them exposed to the filthy language that is sometimes there...

    Inverters for Ham and Other Electronic Gear

    "as portable transceivers operate on 12vdc and wouldn't need an inverter" What I don't know about a lot of stuff could fill a lot of books!  I am purchasing a 100 watt HF rig and also a 65 watt 2 meter rig and plan to use them in my motor home. My guess is they will pull less than 20 to 25 amps...

    Inverters for Ham and Other Electronic Gear

    Looks like everyone has left this thread but me!  I am in the process of setting up a new "portable" station that I can move from my house to the motor home with ease when I go out on the road. I have already spent a few hours reading forums like this and getting lots of good information.  More...
