I'll take it per our text.

Bump.

Yes. Just don't get caught up in the "action" of the bidding and overpay.

Welcome to TGO

I can practically quote every episode of MASH. RIP Hot Lips Houlihan. Thanks for all the great memories.

Just a word of caution folks, differences of opinion and debates are perfectly fine, personal attacks and name calling will no longer be tolerated.

Welcome to TGO and thanks for becoming a benefactor!

I'll have to double check and get back with you on this. I cant remember off the top of my head if the cables and software are the same for the two Yaesu radios or not. Sounds like maybe the wrong cable for the Baofeng. Some won't transfer data.

Let me know if you find that antenna. I'll buy 10. Lol

My favorite part of the hobby is testing antennas. I love building antennas and seeing how I can make them work to my advantage. I also buy a lot of antennas for the same reason. Testing them from home and then portable and seeing the difference is fun. While on vacation in the Outer Banks I went to 13 different State and National Parks working antennas for fun. Great way to get out and see the parks and see what works and doesn't. Making a quick contact is all I need for testing. "Ragchewing" is definitely not my thing but every now and then a neat conversation happens that is cool.

You did well on Yaesu's. I have both of those Yaesu's and they are excellent radios. I have my FT3DR with me all the time. I use RT Systems to program them and all my other radios. Easy to copy and paste from radio to radio. I use Chirp software to program Baofengs. Many use it to program other radios but it doesn't always play well with others and there are reports of it bricking Yaesu's etc. No personal experience on that.

Welcome to TGO

I really like the looks of this. Thanks for the info.
