The reason you see so much of this available in Japan is because Yakiniku, Korean style Barbeque, is extremely popular. That style of restaurant is around every corner, and Japanese camp style cooking tends to mimic this.
It probably doesn't really matter, but the radio is most likely still illegal since it is not a type accepted radio by fcc standards. A 10 mtr radio is not allowed to be modified to operate on 11 mtr period, regardless of it's power output. It's the modification that makes the radio illegal...
Thickest I remember cutting with one of those was about 18". More a function of the torch than the Bug-O, but it certainly helped to have a steady "hand". :)
I have the Expedition jacket and the Classic vest. Love them both. You can hide an amazing amount of crap in the pockets. If you tend to haul around a bunch of gizmos they're awesome for keeping it all in check.
This doesn't make much sense. Your CBs audio, unless something is wrong, should be plenty loud with our without the speaker. Maybe should take to shop and have it looked at.
I would think you'd be ahead of the game to make your panels, and then just take them to a fag shop and have them rolled. Unless you plan on doing a bunch of it I don't see it being worth your time and money. On top of that I'd be surprised if the average bottle jack had the stones to stamp...
This isn't entirely correct from a technical standpoint. A 10 meter is a 10 meter radio plain and simple. It's not a radio "modded" to operate on 11 meters, or an export radio, it's just a radio that "can" be modified to operate in the 11 meter band. A properly licensed operator can walk down...
It can certainly be done. I had an Icom in my old truck set up for cross band repeat. It depends mostly on what radio you buy. I would suggest heading down to your local ham shack and tell them what you want to do, and they should be able to provide you with some radio options.
Doing it for...
What's the matter with you, running around spouting good sense and logic.
When it comes to SHTF (whatever that really is. No one's been able to tell me) I think people watch too many movies. I hear guys all the time talking about all the crap they've got loaded in their Bug Out Vehicle, the 10...
I've been in a lot of weld shops in this country (US) and can say with a fair amount of authority that the most common units by far will be Miller, Lincoln, and Hobart, and probably in that order. Given your choices I would opt for the Lincoln unit. They are high quality, used world wide, and...
Never owned what, an Asus? Nope, never have. I'm only going by the rep I've read about. A Mac? You bet. I have a Mac, an Ipad, and 2 Dells. I've owned Toshiba and HP in the past, along with Sony, Fujitsu, and probably some others I've long since forgotten, beginning with a Tandy I choose...
