I have a couple of phones that I just put month-to-month sim cards from
Ting into. They're served by T-Mobile. One of my old phones is definitely
getting obsoleted out, but that's fine, it's an ancient 2g "Feature Phone"
I got from Ebay on a whim. I don't THINK it's a 3g phone...it's one of
those S
If I'm wrong and the T320 isn't the VoLTE that's safe for now, I guess I'll
just have to get something more up to date. *shrug*

I have a KX3/PX3 shack at home, and rarely, if ever, take my KX3 into the
field. (I know, it's a field rig, but it's also pretty darned 'spensive!) I
have lots of other rigs for field use, some of which I built. For me,
that's half the fun. But I ADORE my KX3 at home. Because of my particular
needs
I started using a corrosion-inhibiting lube on my PL-259s, and religiously
sealing them with Coax-Seal. I tighten them very tightly as well. Since I
started doing that, I have no odd failures or intermittent connections in
my feedlines.

This post just made my memory flash on a movie quote: "Meet me at the Cafe
Friedrichstrasse."
It's from an 80's era movie called "Gotcha!"

It was the code phrase set up between the main characters to tell one of

I use Win4K3Suite with my KX3, and it will at least shut OFF the radio from
the software. What it won't do is turn it back ON.
As I understand it, what the two-button method is designed to do is to make
sure the radio saves its current state before it shuts down. If you turn it
off via the power l

This just makes Fred's books that much more valuable. Now they're something
to remember him by, his legacy. As I usually do in such sad times, I will
