The only issue is finding an IF out on the 7700. I have done a lot of trawling the internet and the closest I have got is a mod for th...

I agree with DXE. Also I read recently about someone who was arrested for inserting a bit of lead into someone's drone.

Also the cable that came with the antenna is for a Yaesu and is DB9 male to DB9 female. Would I be able to use thi...

No business nearby. Yes every day.

Hi Joe,
I have turned the router off and everything else that I could think of and the noise is still there. It goes away at night so I am pretty sure it is a solar setup.

Hi guys I know this is a bot of an old thread but recently started getting interference from what I am 90% sure is a solar inverter. The reason I am pretty sure is that the interference goes away at night. I have submitted the appropriate form to the ACMA for them to hunt it down. Have a watch of th...
