Re: UBC 57xlt antenna

Re: UBC 57xlt antenna

WACB have an extraordinary range of adapters - if you can drop in there with it, bet he can find you one. SMA seems to have quite a few variations, bet it's one of them. :wink: Unfortunately i live too far away, but i might give them a call. I've tried calling DSE where it was bought from and they ...

I've been searching for a while and i can't find any 57xlt antenna specifications anywhere :shock: #-o ...

Icom IC-R20

Hey guys,

since i sold my Icom IC-R5, i'm thinking about upgrading to the IC-R20. Does anyone have one and have any comments regarding it's performance, ease of use? How well does the SSB on low freq amateur bands perform? How good is the audio?

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

cheers

UBC 57xlt antenna

Guys i've just inherited my old man's uniden 57xlt but he has lost the antenna. Does anyone know if i can order a new one or buy one that screw directly in? I'm planning on selling it cheap to a mate.

fantastic...and it works how?? Doppler RDF units determine the bearing to a signal's source by electronically rotating four antennas, arranged in a circular pattern, at a high rate of speed. The signals received at each antenna are combined and passed on to your FM receiver which is tuned to the fr...
