It's all a matter of money. Ham radio doesn't have the money to fund a bunch of high priced lobbyists to grease the skids like, for example, the NRA has. Money talks. It's the Golden Rule...the guy

I complain about almost every thing the Canadian government has done/is doing, however the lifetime no fee ham radio managing system is very nice and very surprising. The only thing missing

I am vaguely remembering that before my time it was rather pricey to take an exam at fcc. In some nations only the well off can afford their fees. I don't like it!? could they wave the fee for folk

Hi Jack, Quite often people who are barely surviving and probably receive welfare and food stamps, etc..are gifted with used, working radios or have them on loan. I have helped pay the shipping of

Where do you buy the RD16HHF1's? I've looked on Mouser, Digikey, and Arrow...none. eBay has them, but I wonder about their pedigree. Jack, W8TEE

I'm not admitting to direct hands on experience with this, but...it is possible to accidentally leave the coax off the antenna side? the SWR meter.? So it might look like the ubitx is plugged in to
