They still make radios??

No, they sell phones at PhoneShack (tm).

I still remember the look on the sales droid's face when I walked in
and was asked if I wanted to buy a phone. I told him no I want to
buy a radio. He got even dumber looking when I asked for an HT that
was now on clearance. I found my HTX-420 at another store. I only
wish their radios had better intermod filters. I've sold all my
HTX mobiles and my MURS radio because I can't use them under this
damn RF filthy tower I live under. The HTX-420 can't hear **** on
2 meters and almost works on 440. Once I get some distance from the
tower, it's a very sensitive HT. My IC-2100 works great on 2 meters
and MURS with even better ears and more power!

And yes, my CB is still hooked up to a 2x455 amp. One has to be heard!
I guess I could use my 2950, but I have no code, so why tease myself.

Anybody know what the difference is between a .6 conical and an
elliptical stylus for linear tracking turntable. Anyone got the
manual for a LAB-2200 (42-2916) RS turntable? How about the
cartridge number. The RS site doesn't have this info anymore.

I've found the stylus is an ATN102P, but also found listings that
say ATN102EP/112EP/122EP will fit also. They are different stylus
sizes and shapes. What's best?

Too much info...good luck Scott.

It's field day weekend for those hard core hammies. They get to hang
out with all the other guys in the tents playing radio for 24 hours!

I could hang with that I suppose...not unlike a fishing tournament.

"...Had this been an actual emergency, would you have
been able to set up all that equipment in a hurricane
or a flood or major snowstorm?"

Preparedness my ass. They've been planning this for the past month.
Sending emails back and forth on reflectors, testing the generator,
gathering radios and antennas, making food plans.

I want to see how they do in lets say, an earthquake!
