A broad flat SWR curve is indicative of poor efficiency in the antenna.
The curve is flat because the loss resistance dominates the feedpoint
impedance.

To: ham-equip@ucsd.edu
If it weren't for the backlit keyboard and the voltmeter
on the display on the FT530, the W2A would be my choice
as the best 2/440 HT you can own. I've had many models.
Some dont like the battery connectors (plasic rails) but I
had no problems with it. You can mod it for 800rx and it
is very sensitive there, unlike the 530.

Yes. Open the case, prize out all those nice narrow filters, high
intercept amplifiers, and other misc circuitry that prevent signals
outside the ham band from getting into this fine radio and messing
up it's excellent strong out of band signal rejection, and replace
them with the guts from a PRO 2006. Your HT will now howl as badly
as any other scanner.
In other words, this HT was designed for amateur radio, not as a
voyeur's scanner. There are no modifications that will convert
it to a wideband scanner which will also allow it to continue to
function as an amateur radio. If you want a scanner, *buy* a scanner.
Don't try to destroy the very advantage this HT has over all the
others on the market.

Has anyone gotten a Motorola Spectra working on the 902-928 MHz
band? If so, would you please post (or send to me by e-mail)
the modifications required?
Thanks.

These items can usually be found in the trash cans next to
guys who just got their no-code Ham license.

I am posting this for John KE6CDH who recently purchased an IC211 with a
bad processor/synthesizer IC (moves in 5KHz steps only). Icom wants $100
for the IC. He's looking for a radio for parts or some other source for
the IC. Please send return Email to me. - Kerry N6IZW
