Replaced the TM-G707 (dual band) today with a TM-231 (2m).
Dual Band gonna make the Mobile Mo-Bille, and single band is a hold over till I can find another affordable Dual Band w/o a removable face.
I've been using (very little) this setup in the Barn on the workbench and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out (placement).
I would like a Desk Mic for the HF (at the least) or maybe a Headphone/Boom Mic combo.
Some hangers for the hand-held mics would be a BIG help to hold me over-where do you find those?
I have a Amber Voltage Display that I ordered but I can't figure it out? 4 Screw Terminals on back?
anyways, the NVIS Random Wire is working pretty well with 620+ miles the farthest I've been. South to Hollywood FL and North to Beckley WVa.
If it ever begins to cool down I'll get the Big Loop up.
Need to order another Arrow J-pole to hang up at the barn too, been using the Slim-Jim with good success though!
You can find some little chrome ones at radio shack, they come with some double stick tape and have been holding up in the car now for some time.
My Icom 706 mic does not have hanger piece on the back, so I used some adhesive Velcro on the Mic and on the box. it works well, oh and if someone does do this, put the stiff Velcro on the box! (I did do it correct the first time by the way
)
