Welcome back Glen! Hey, don't worry 'bout being a cheapskate. THAT I
understand. As long as you're enjoying yourself, that's all that counts.

My first radio was a Packard-Bell, (back in 1963) tuned 5.5-18 Mc's. About 8
years ago, picked up a Sony 7600D (Sony's first digital radio) for $10 at a
thrift store. Also have a Sony 2010, and a Sangean 909, as well as a Yaesu
VR500. And I'm STILL a casual listener (gotta put up a longwire one of these
days).

BTW, I'm about 30 miles from San Francisco(aprox 38N x 122W). What are you
near? And where are those garage sales? G.... Eric KA6USJ

Welcome to the group. I built a Star-Roamer for a friend in the 60's. It
was made by Knight-Kit. You certainly got a good buy on the DX-300.
There are quite a few mod's for it on the Net. Just do a Google search
for them. Some of the mod's for the DX-302 will work for your DX-300
too.

Welcome Glen,

Always nice to have someone in here who is on topic...what a concept. You
scored on that radio! Good find. When you are ready to sell it off, you will
make a nice profit. I think anyone who works for a living is probably a
casual listener! I would recommend grabbing the latest "Passport To
Worldband Radio" Publication so you can start looking for stations as
opposed to just spinning the dial at random. I was able to find mine at
Barnes and Noble....in stock. They also have the WRTH which is another good
publication. Enjoy and 73,

Thanks for the welcome Dave! As a matter of fact, I just got a copy of the
2004 Anniversary "Passport" the other day. I had been working with my old
1989 WRTH but it was too out of date for even a miser like me to deal with!=

I think I like the format even better than the WRTH. I was really REALLY
lucky to get a deal like that on that receiver! There were some awesome
bargains at that estate sale, and my wife and I bought a carload of stuff,
but that was the only piece of radio equipment there.
73s and good DX'ing to ya

I do have a couple of quibbles, however. The main one is the size of the SoundSaver's window. It can't fill the screen and that leaves you working in a needlessly cramped environment. This is least convenient when you're trying to zero in on a particular place in a sound wave so that you can accurately split a track. Although you can zoom the sound wave display, it's still a small area in which to work. I asked BIAS about this and the company said that the target user doesn't care about large wave forms--that they might be confusing to novices. That's possible. But assuming everyone benefits from an easy-to-use digitizing application, why limit those who face wave-form displays with no fear?

In the Podcasts section you get a selection of audio programs, many from Trout Unlimited, discussing various fishing topics. The app will download the entire podcast before it begins to play, so Wi-Fi is recommended if you have it. I would prefer streaming audio, so that I could stop downloading the podcast if I decide I'm not interested. Podcasts save on your SD Card, so you can replay them later if you wish.

For casual users, Norton can still be a bit much. The "activity map"--which shows where computer infections are taking place worldwide in real-time--is neat to look at, but it adds little for the user who just wants to make sure he can continue tending his FarmVille crops. For power users, however, all these bells and whistles can offer an immense amount of insight into the operation of your PC. Curious how your PC's performance is being impacted by Norton's operation? A detailed graph will show you what's happening to your CPU and memory when it's actively scanning and when it's idle.

What if you regularly use more than one text editor? QuickCursor's menu lists any supported editors installed on your Mac, and the utility even lets you assign a different keyboard shortcut for each one. So you could, for example, use BBEdit for editing code fragments, and Hog Bay's own WriteRoom for editing prose. QuickCursor currently supports eight popular Mac OS X text editors: BBEdit, Espresso, MacVim, Smultron, SubEthaEdit, TextMate, TextWrangler, and WriteRoom.

GFI claims that Vipre won't slow down your PC, and in this case it delivers: It had one of the fastest manual "on-demand" scan speeds among the products we looked at for this roundup (1 minute, 41 seconds to scan 4.5GB), and it was reasonably fast in on-access tests that judge how quickly it can scan files as they're opened or saved, scanning 4.5GB of files in 4 minutes, 20 seconds. And its impact on overall PC performance was quite low, completing most of the speed tests we put it through with faster-than-average times.

The credit card business has spread to cater every section of society world-wide. Normally, companies target people who have the means to personally repay the unpaid money balance. Students have been allowed this facility, even if they are not earning. Student credit cards are getting popular with students in America. At that stage of their life most of the students are usually unemployed. But, they do have to incur certain expenditure on tuition fee, books, projects and more. They can tide over emergency expenses with a credit card and need not wait while their parents transfer money. Student credit cards are easy to come by, but the interest rates are higher than normal. For that matter, late payment fee is higher and credit limits lower. Parents guarantee payment of unpaid amounts and pay off the credit bills. If a student gets into the bad habit of over-spending he will be sowing seeds of a poor credit rating, which can hamper his credit as an adult. But, a credit card is a wonderful tool to inculcate in your child the virtues of planned spending. That way he grows up to be responsible for his expenses and keep his credit rating intact by building a good credit card history.As holders of credit cards, students are entitled to all rights and liabilities that come with credit cards. The Fair Credit Billing Act is applicable to each type of a credit card. Student credit cards are no exception and students can be even be punished or charged for any unauthorized use of their charge account or for any billing errors of their account. In conclusion, students may be advised to use their credit cards most responsibly and judiciously to avoid falling in a debt trap.CASH BACK CREDIT CARDSCash back credit cards offer a 1% rebate on every purchase you make. You may also get gifts for the shopping you do on your cash back credit card. Most big companies offer cash back credit cards to selected customers only. Persons, with a good credit report or clean credit history are most sought after. In case you hold a cash back credit card it means that you are not bankrupt; nor do you have any unpaid bills. Most of the cash back credit cards are generally offered to those who have a credit score of 700 or better, other than a clean credit history. Some insurance companies prefer dealing with customers holding cash back credit cards. You may even have your loans easily processed by banks. However, be warned that such cards have inherent high rate of interest. It means that the benefits you derive can easily be offset by the high interest you may pay on monthly unpaid balance.Use your credit line judiciously. Many card users have, unfortunately started using credit cards as a principal means to support them, whereas credit cards are meant to help you when you fall short on cash. With high rates of interest, the unpaid amount escalates beyond one’s paying power. Credit cards are debt traps, if used injudiciously. Young people are getting attracted to credit cards and their whole perception of money spending changes. They start perceiving credit as free money. Credit cards charge heavy interest on out standings and before a card holder realizes he is caught in a debt trap. He tries to get out of this situation by getting more cards and transferring the balance to the new card. It might give him temporary relief, but it causes untold harm to his credit rating.

Credit card debt is a very big problem that is being faced by a lot of people who have been irresponsible and undisciplined in the use of their credit card. Though some might have landed up with credit card debt due to some unfortunate event/emergency in their life, most people carry a credit card debt due to their own wrong doings (i.e. wrong usage of their credit card debt).There are a lot of ways to pay off credit card debt and a lot of people do achieve this feat (i.e. are able to pay off credit card debt). Surely, to be able to pay off credit card debt is really a great achievement in itself for not everyone is able to pay off credit card debt. It takes a lot of discipline, restraint, planning and perseverance to finally pay off credit card debt. However, there is more to paying off credit card debt then just being able to pay off credit card debt. Here we are talking about the life after you pay off credit card debt successfully. As mentioned before, of all the people that try to pay off credit card debt not everyone is able to pay off credit card debt i.e. there are some failures too. However, some people fail after they have succeeded in paying off credit card debt. These are those people who let themselves loose and go on a spending spree as soon as they pay off credit card debt. Soon, these people again land up with a credit card debt and are again trying to pay off credit card debt. So, it's not enough to just pay off credit card debt, it's equally important to maintain a debt-free status even after you pay off credit card debt; only then can you enjoy a stress-free life in the world of credit cards. So learn your lessons well and do not let yourself loose on the path to another credit card debt. Most of the rules that you followed when you were trying to pay off credit card debt, will also hold good after you have paid off your credit card debt. Here is a quick synopsis of things that you should take care of even after you pay off credit card debt:1) Do not overspend. Yielding to the sale offers for something that you don't really need, is a big mistake that leads to overspending2) Always remain within 70% of your credit limit.3) Make credit card bill payments in time and in full.4) Don't hold more than 2 credit card accounts (two are enough for anyone)These are just very basic things; you can add more based on your own experience and knowledge.
