Subject: Kenwood a Radio, or Cult Group ???
To: ham-equip@ucsd.edu
My name is Roger, and I own Kenwood radios...
It's been 10 months since I bought my last Kenwood.
I bought them used because they were such good values and had so many
features and multi-color displays. I didn't realize how it would be
a problem. I recently sold one of my Kenwoods to buy an Icom.
But now, thanks to KA, I have taken steps to recovery and bought Yaesu
and Icom radios. Many of my friends still buy Kenwoods, and I often
QSO with them, but for now I remain sober, working one rig at a time.
Thank you. ;)

Subject: Periphex battery for FT-530 ??
To: ham-equip@ucsd.edu
I am considering purchasing a battery for my Yaesu FT-530 from
Periphex Inc. They say they have a FNB-26 battery pack replacement
for the 530 that uses the same wall charger as the FNB-25.
Does anyone have any experience with Periphex products? They are
a substantial cost savings over purchasing the battery packs from
Yaesu (75$ vs $40 ).

Well, after reading about what frequencies the Yaesu FT530 is capable of,
I have one question... Where does one find said modification info?
Thanks for any leads,

You can have a front end so tight that it doesn't even pass the signal its
supposed to...but its still not going to stop signals that go direct to the
IF bypassing the frontend.
Paging Terminals are notorious for running excessive power and running broad.
Like at the same elevation...we put out 8 Watts on our repeater and it
covers the a large portion of South Eastern Alberta. Meanwhile the Paging
company is running a 150W PA at full power...and their coverage area is
supposed to be restricted to the city only....they do run a lower pattern off
of their antenna....
I can't understand why all the radios in the area pick up paging, regardless of
frequency. 8-)
