I "found" them a few minutes later when I tuned for someone else.

That's one very good reason to have a locked clarifier.

Every time I had a locked clarifier, I get off frequency comments.


So you're going to believe that someone who's clarifier isn't
at 12 o'clock on the 00's is right? I find it annoying to have
to chase someone around because they tune to my on-frequency
radio and they change their transmit frequency.

I find other things in life more annoying. But to me, chasing down people is
like cleaning my contact lenses. I do it so often, I don't even realize I am
doing it.

Have it properly aligned by a tech with calibrated equipment.

I can do that myself, and I won't hack it.


Also, the Unidens stay on freq better then the Galaxy and Connex crap.

Agreed.

An old Cobra with the Uniden guts will stay on freq summer and winter,
while a Galaxy will drift a lot from turn on to warmup.

My Galaxy 949 was brutal on SSB.

My old TRC-451 (Cobra 146) just keeps on going. Feed that into a
225 box on low using a 636L into a KW-7. Killer SSB combo.

The radio was hacked up when I got it. Now it's back to stock
with the final placed off the regulator for dependability.

I kept all the components I removed for the unlock. Labled and everything.

BTW, my 2510 is not unlocked. I left that alone because I can get so close with
the RIT.
