Your absolutely correct. We should be allowed to say what we want on the airwaves and the internet. But we should also chose the proper forum to say thi

There are things like kill files that will help filter some of the garbage out, but there are also a lot of users on the net who don't have such a thing.

I just got the SONY service manual the other day and noticed that in the parts list some electronic components are for specific models only. The implicati

(1) The boards are mid-80's technology and can be soldered by hand, but some of the components are very small and require considerable care. I've installe
(2) You also have to replace front panels and other non-electronic components as the AIR, LSB and USB buttons are not present on your model.
(3) The radio came without AIR and xSB for legal reasons which may still prevail.
All in all, getting a new radio would probably be a lot easier.

Finally, I not alone!
This type of QRM started in my apartment on March 28 of this year accord to my log, when I noticed it in the middle of the BBC at 9515.
Sadly I've not been able to identify it yet. The radiators (the kind for heating) radiate it, the window frames radiate it, the cable TV cable brings a lo
The QRM actually extends at least as far as 13Mhz although it's quite attenuated.

I have had both a 440 and a 390.Although, thanks to an indulgent wife, I now have a Drake R8, I still think very fondly of my 440, which was a wonderful v
