Gary, That is very cool and your description with the picture makes perfect sense...great idea! I have tried similar things with some positive results in the past using two Twin Coil Antennas and it d

Mine is an XHDATA labelled cell rated at 2000 mAh.

I've been interested in reading about people's varying experiences with battery life on this radio. Since I had never noticed a problem with battery life on my XHDATA D-808 with its original battery c

I personally find this group to be one of the most interesting and enjoyable of all the radio-related groups I belong to. Yes, it has morphed a bit from its inception as Gary explained, but I consider

Great pictures Paul...but the wildlife around you looks pretty scary! Jay

I agree with this assessment. I will also say that I have two of these...one bought way back when it first came out (maybe 10 or more years ago...it's been around quite long time) and one purchased la

One thing I love about this string is how the internet has let us pool our resources. Before the internet many (if not most) of us were all by ourselves in our hobby, but I have met many people thanks

Very cool. Many stations in the New York area are directional out over the ocean. Try also for: 880 WCBS (News) 770 WABC (News/Talk) 660 WFAN (Sports) Jay

What a beautifully lush backdrop...it truly looks like Paradise.
