  1. Fogdog - thanks for the info. I got the S-400 and in the mail is my ic-718 a-comin. I may/may not take a ham test. However in the meantime, I'll modify the 718 for full TX. No ham band tx, just freeband. Thanks for the help, 73s. -DonB
  2. Thanks. I'll be using it as a base rather than mobile. Having difficulty finding out the amp rating needed for the power supply. It would be a 13.8VDC with a ???? Amp rating... Thought as an electrician(?) you might know. Us Submarine Yeoman are illiterate when it comes to electricity. Thanks 73s
  3. I love it. It gets excellent reports always. I've talked to 9 countries with it from my pickup in my driveway. They are a bit expensive, but well worth it. When and if you get one, have it peaked and tuned, and converted. Even the mic on this radio is good. Mine puts out around 70 watts. Plenty of power. If you can hear em, you'll probably be able to talk to em.

  4. Hey Fogdog - my daughter lives fairly near you in Bybee. Really like your house. Talk to me about your Stryker. Worth the $$? I'm retired Navy. When skip is in I have not heard TN - More of OH, GA and CA. Let me know about the Stryker, I'm going to be in the market around Mar/Apr for a mod 10-11-12 M radio. 73s
