Is anyone into vintage multiband portable radios?
2023年4月15日 · The next step up the house brand pay scale was Sears. There were such a thing as Craftsman multiband radios. Their Wayfarer model was the same radio as the Sanyo Senator, which was fairly high end. I think their Roadtalker CB radios were by Uniden. They even rebranded the famed Yaesu FRG-7 communications receiver as the Sears FRG-7.

Modern Radios with manual tuning knobs (at an affordable price).
2024年7月9日 · I whole heartedly agree. My current go to radios are the Tecsun PL-330 and the XhData D-109 which is a surprisingly solid performer for the price but the sheer enjoyment of turning the knob on my Sony 2010, DX-398 or GE 7-2990a is what SWL is all about.
Choosing my next radio (?) - RadioReference.com Forums
2024年10月1日 · I’ve recently gotten into SW DXing with two portable radios, first an XHData D-109WB and then a Qodosen Dx-286. Both are really nice and excellent performers. I quickly realized I would soon get new radio-itis and “need” more and more new ones. This time, though, unless something new pops up...
My two pet peeves about amateur portable radios
2023年4月15日 · A little background first: I'm a 30 year+ amateur radio operator. I also managed a commercial two-way radio system for several years--over 100 mobile and portable radios, 6 base stations, and two mountaintop repeaters, using both analog and digital (NXDN) protocols. So, I've spent a lot of time around both commercial and amateur radio equipment.

2018年7月24日 · What portables radios did the LAFD used before the XTS 5000s? I saw a video online from the early 2000s where a portable has a large rectangular speaker mic with what looks like a small display and a full DTMF keypad on it.
ASTRO SABER INVERTED DPL CODES NOT …
2024年12月2日 · The radios did fine with the normal DPLs. I did have the Inverted Box Checked in both the conventional personality transmit and receive menus. The Astro Saber Radios would decode the Inverted DPL from a couple of my XTS5000 radios, but the XTS5000 Radios would not decode from the Astro Sabers when the XTS5000 decode feature was enabled.
Question for those who use or have used portable radios in public ...
2019年8月18日 · I see many 3~5 year old portable radios sent for repair that work just fine with a good battery. Field sobriety check: Charge the battery then take it off the charger. Set it aside and come back 4 hours later. Put the radio on a channel nobody listens to. Hold PTT TX and look for a beep, red flashing TX light or battery gauge showing empty.
Midland GMRS portable radios repeater capable?
2023年2月26日 · Some of the radios apparently were programmable by some software distributed by Midland support. However these same radios were never type accepted for a wideband modulation. They are listed 12K0F3E or lower. So why would Midland risk the wrath of the FCC to aid end users in "modifying" a radio?
