    Baofeng Radios

    Use caution where you buy radios from!!!!! Most radios on Amazon are now "locked" to a smaller frequency range. Buy from a source like RGM--or some one that will supply you with an unlocked radio. 136 to 174mhz VHF & 400 to 520 mhz UHF.

    John Deere snowblower

    Found out last Xmas that a lot of those auger drive units are "generic" parts. Lots of different manufactures use the same gears. Bought like new ones from a repair shop to fix my 4 year old machine. Filled the gear box with gear oil instead of grease. Now the gears get lubricated.

    Largest wattage for handheld vhf radio

    Well thats pretty interesting. My latest finds are five TYT TH8000D 10 watt radios that are testing 13 and just above 13w. But the real bonus is the battery life. 43 1/2 hours as opposed to most Baofengs at a little over 20 hrs to 24 hours using the FM radio as a test source. 37.7w will have...

    Chirp wont load to bottom Baofeng channel

    Probably the same as the UV 13 pro---not 10w does not have dual PTT not an 8800mah battery and the real give away it only has H & L power. Can always tell the radio is a 5w as they dont display the high power level in the advertising. Another thing you will find that after programing...

    Places Albertans are not welcome.
