Turn up the wick, or wicks! ;D Unfortunately there has a been a good deal of monkey chatter on 160 meters lately, to the point where even established nets have been inconvenienced. 160 used to be the "Gentleman's Band", and one had plenty of space to stretch out. You'd think with the band expansion on 80 and up that this would be a thing of the past. Seems to me that common sense and courtesy has gone right out the window. Must somehow been attached to that missing carrier. ;D Title: Re: CB Radio Conversation Leads to Stabbing Death Post by: k4kyv on January 02, 2008, 11:28:04 AM I've never seen or owned a piece of radio gear that didn't have a means of changing frequency (even if you have to change rocks) I thought riceboxes only operated on one programmed frequency per band when in the slopbucket mode. I forgot. Here's how to get those SSB riceboxes to unlock from their programmed frequency. Transmit an AM signal elsewhere in the band. The ricebox will seek out the carrier and allow the operator to transmit approximately 2 kHz away. |
