More on Packet Radio

 Navigating packet radio can be very hard, especially if you're just starting out in the hobby. You may have questions like "What's the difference between APRS and packet?" or "Why can't I use X software for packet?" Heck you may even wonder how can you set up your own packet radio operation. Today, I hope that this blog post can put some of those wonder and questions to rest.

Attempting to Repair a Uniden PRO500D

I bought another CB off of eBay that was a heck of a steal at about $10 or $15 shipped. It's a late 80s/early 90s Uniden CB radio. It's very similar to the PRO510 and PRO520 line of modern-day radios. It's quite basic - no ANL, no PA...just volume, squelch, and 40 channels.
