So when did Amateur Bands become NON-shortwave? Did I miss something? My
R5000
doesn't receive 38 MHz or 49 MHz - does that make it limited too?

I've never understood how one spouse can TELL another how he/she may
or may not operate his/her hobbies. It would seem to me that if it's
really a partnership....well, you get the drift.

Maybe it's time to take the Howard Hughes approach:


"Women? It's cheaper to buy an airline."



And then buy the radios you want.

Well, I would agree. But there is a difference between a spouse TELLING you
what you can or can't purchase and a spouse 'suggesting' (correctly I might
add) that perhaps 6 or 7 Drake 2B's is enough! hi hi

So you feel one should be able to fill the house, which one shares with
a spouse (partnership as you stated), with radios or anything else
related to one's hobby, and the spouse should have no say. You must not
be married and if not I see why.

Given that he ended the auction early, I figure he either found a local
buyer, or had seller's remorse and decided to keep the radio.

Back door sale. Nice rig, fine condition. Was probably offered much
more than he expected.

To everyone regarding the SX-117.
I attempted to listen in to ECARS during the week, and could not find them.
When I found them on another radio, I looked into it. CHU was off in
frequency by a good amount...more than what the display calibrator could
correct for. I'm sure it is just that routine of adjusting a coil at one
end of the band, and a cap at the other end...back and forth, back and
forth. But, I am going to send it to WA8SAJ for the task...and whatever
other magic he routinely performs.
It'll be back!

Item no longer available for sale? He most likely had a good, cash
offer that was high enough not to bother with e-bay any more.

Nice ones are, or were going in the $200 range. They are not rare,
but are becoming popular.

Doing what he did?? He took the thing off auction because it wasn't up to
snuff. He said it would be back up when he gets it back from peaks and
tweaks. Some of these guys don't pay attention I guess.

Well I did pay attention and it stunk! Price not going hi enough so
I'll claim a problem and pull the auction.
If it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck then it must be.
There are waays to protect his investment, like "reserve".

Were you going to bid on it? No? Then what's your problem? It's his
auction, he can do as he damn well pleases with it.
