Which Facebook group? I can't quite make out the military part number to get more info. Wanna go look at the original. Not interested in buying since I have a 75' AB-577 and that's more than good eno

There is one "gotcha" to all this. In 2019, Yaesu changed to using DC on the rotors. From DX-Engineering " Instead of the usual AC motor drive used in older rotator designs, the G-2800DXA, G-1000DXA

After looking at the older manuals, I think that's likely the case. The 800/1000/2800 seem to have been DC for a long time. The 450 changed in 2019 and the 5500 changed (based on the new manual and i

That would make perfect sense in several ways, and a handy thing to know (particularly as I've decided to replace my 5400 with a 5500 and was originally looking at either a 450 or an 800 to turn a co

Oops. Forgot to include the group. Sounds like the elevated counterpoise kit for a HF9V, etc. Should have also had two saddle clamps (U bolt setups with plate.) Check out DX engineering's BUT-CPK htt

I'd tend to agree that it's a baloney survey statistic. Particularly for the very simple reason that if the source and raw data aren't available, it's likely that the interpretation was "conveniently

What I've learned is to understand the use and the materials involved. Aluminum? Steel? Copper? Different metals require different approaches. Based on that, and over the last 30 years or so, I've ha

Several news outlets had this story, with some providing more detail. Based on photos of what was inside the case, it's almost certain that these were Helium miners, 'providing' LoRaWan connectivity
