- To: ham-equip@ucsd.edu
-
- I have a buddy who was using a Yaesu 2400, and recently replaced
- it with an Icom 901. He likes the 901, but REALLY wants a backlit mike
- for it. We have talked to Icom, and they have no intentions of releasing
- such a critter, so we were thinking of making our own. Has anyone tried
- to adopt the newer style backlit Yaesu mikes to an Icom radio? Can this
- be done? (If so, why the heck won't Icom sell something like it?!?)
-
- Any comments would be appreciated! Send them to me directly. Thanks!

-
- Well, I got the Tech+ CSCE and waiting for call-letters. In meantime, am lucky
- enough to live 30 mi. from AES, and checked it out. Got BURIED in info.
-
- I'm thinking about taking a deep breath and going the route of
- a decent, well-featured dual band (144/440) HT. My area is
- populated enough for both 2m and 70cm, I am told.
-
- Don't think I want to mount a mobile in car, therefore looking at
- going to dualbander HT. I have read literature on Kenwood, Yaesu,
- ICOM. No particular budget, just looking for recommendations, and
- mostly what to stay away from.
-
- I caught the very tail end of previous posts to this newsgroup on
- request similar to mine. Guess I jumped into it a hair too late
- to catch it all.
-
- Thanks for any advice nonetheless.
-
- Mike, ( ) <--- space for call letters when they come.

- I use one for my TH-77A. It is three years old and still going
- strong. It is heavy, but great for portable use and those days
- when you will be helping with an event all day long. It also is
- nice to get the full 5 watts on high power (12v).
- The comment about the charging circuitry is correct. These are
- lead acid batteries and they use an excellent charging circuit on
- them.
- Hope this helps.

- I have wondered about that. I was about to buy an on-glass dual-band antenna
- because a sunroof pretty much precludes center-of-roof mounting, and I saw
- that the claimed antenna gain figures for such antennas were quite respectable.
- However, assumed that the gain claimed included the loss associated with
- the mount. Is this not the case? How much loss is associated with the
- on-glass mount, assuming that the inside portion is properly grounded?
