Thanks for the very few senisble recommendations. I'll look those models up
and have a think.

Funny though, I posted this to 3 ham groups. UK, Australia and the global
(ie USA) groups.
Global got two sensible replies. Aus got a sensible discussion started. And
UK started a lengthy thread trashing CBers and foundation license holders.

Does every thread have to do this? Do UK hams always have to project a
global image of being a bunch of bicker pedantic ******s?

Just a thought. Carry on.

It's a cultural thing.

Yes, Jack. Absolutely EVERY thread started in uk.radio.amateur, after
only two or three 'overs', degenerates into trashing CBers and all those
whose are deemed never to taken the 'proper' Radio Amateurs' Examination
(not just those with Foundation Licences). It's all really a bit sad.

Yes Ian, it is sad. Makes you wonder if a moderated group might be
worthwhile. I am not normally a fan of moderation as I support free speech.
But a group with an "ist" filter might be good. (sexist, racist, CBist,
license classist). Some guys tried on yahoo, but ended up with a collection
of separate and poorly supported cliches.

I co-run the UK CB Radio yahoo group and take the view that all messages are
allowed, no matter how confrontational, so long as they are not abusive or
way off-topic. And it works well. In 3 years we've only have a few off topic
spammers to warn off.

I think you may have to abbreviate the word w*nk*r!!!...or maybe use
t*ss*r!!!...as this could sometimes be interpreted as someone who tosses
pancakes...

If you really wanted a sensible answer why on Earth did you post to this
NG???!!!...

At this point I will give you a few sensible pointers...

Myself...I have a MD-100A8X...I also have a MD-200A8X...I have 2
MD-1c8's...I have a Heil headset pro plus(with both hc4 and hc5 inserts)...I
have lots of standard mic's...I also have a W2IHY 8 band equaliser...

So here's the crux...you wanna sit back and relax put on the headset...use a
foot-pedal...and the chill out zone is yours...you will still have 2 hands
free to do whatever it is you wish to do with 2 free hands...

Does the tenth word in the first paragraph have any relevance to your
last paragraph?
