Just thought I would tell y'all about my newest purchase!
Are you ready....
OK....
A PAIR OF FRS/GMRS RADIOS!!!
:-)
I know, no big deal, and heck, I can't even figure out what I'm gonna do with 'em. But the're definately COOL! A good toy to keep me ammused for a few minutes at least :-)
Never had a pair before, even though every one else in the free world has :-)

Newest addition here is the PDL-ll beam the grandson and I put in the air Sunday before last, haven't really had any good conditions to check it out on DX, but the guys around here 50 to 60 miles away tell me I've picked up 2 S-units on there meter, so I guess when conditions come back the beam will be doing a good job.

I usaully scan the frs band when I'm out and have heard some strange people and sometimes at Walmart I can hear security using them to track shoplifters. You just never know what you will hear.

Another new addition to my ever growing shack has been installed, it's the LDG AT-11 automatic antenna tuner and does wonders for the SWR should it get high. I even think it has helped an already good match on the newly added PDL-ll beam.

The LDG tuners do a good job on all HF frequencies. I have an AT100 Pro, and operate on many HF frequencies from ham, to CAP, and FEMA.
GREAT products and great prices!
