Sounds like great advice. Thank you!.

Thank you!. But I’ll bet you a dollar to a donut that in previous reconciliation bills, in a dem LED senate, that had non budgetary items, it flew right through.

Someone educate me, please. This parliamentarian dudette removed the part that took this stuff out of the NFA, but left in a reduction in the tax cost? Why the hell do we even allow a lib to be in that position when. We control the senate?

I’m new to ham, so be patient with my question, LOL. Does it include a power supply for use in the house?

Seems to me that Republicans are just Democrat Lights.

I’ve never heard of these varieties. I’ll be looking for them now. I love a good tomato. I just don’t understand them and can’t find a lot of them.

Other than the olives, that sounds wonderful.

I dunno, but I sure do love a good Bradley tomato, but I’ve heard they’re hard to grow and ya can’t get many crops in a season like you can others. I’ve also noticed a difference in taste of homegrown. Lately I’ve been generating some store bought ones from Sprouts. Can’t remember the brand but they are small and come several in a plastic box with vine attached. They may not be Bradley good but I like them a lot.

Looks like a cool radio. I should have also added that I’m not even licensed yet. I’ve gone overboard and already have 8 HTs, from Baofengs to Wouxons to Yaesus. Ever hear about getting the cart before the horse? Ha, that’s me. Radios are a sickness just as bad as guns are! Anyway, I’m still looking at portables, but I hope the next one I buy is a decent dual band mobile/base, but even with that I’m not seriously looking until I get my Technician license. I have some books and study software and just need to buckle down and study. There’s a ham event in Lebanon next month and I want to be licensed by then, if I can do this. I’m over 70, and find that I don’t grasp some of the technical stuff and definitely not the math at my age. I’m retired now and need to spend more time studying instead of reading about radios!

I’ve got a couple Yaesus portables, but have been kinda lusting after the Kenwood TH-D75A lately.

Welcome.

As I’m sure many of you did, I wrote Sens Blackburn and Haggerty about suppressors and SBRs being taken out of the NFA. Haggerty just sent the standard thank you email back. Blackburn though, or her team, rather, replied back with quite the lengthy email that spoke of the Constitution and the 2nd Amendment and agreed with my point about suppressors. Hooray for that. On the other hand, she strangely made no mention of SBRs.

Welcome! I’m originally from the Soddy-Daisy/Red Bank areas.

PM incoming.

I was able to get 2 of my Baofengs connected! Turns out I had more than one cable and thought they were all the same. Once I figured that part out I was good. Still need to figure out a couple more Baofengs, but, but I’ve read conflicting accounts of whether the GM15 can be done. Some say you can by using Chirp and tricking the program by calling them Radiodity GM-30’s. Also need to get the cables and software for my Yaesus. Leaning towards RT Systems as the source for that. I plan on attending the 2025 Annual Greater Nashville & Middle Tennessee HamQuest in July in Lebanon. I plan on having my license before then, but I see that they are offering free testing so if I don’t get it now, I will then. Years ago I read that one could get some great deals on equipment on radio gear at these. Wonder if that’s still true? I’m learning that this hobby/addiction can be as expensive or more so than my gun addiction.
