Has it been used for ham radio?

Yes, I am currently using a 100ft of it with a full-size loop on 75 meters (240ft length) and 1500 watts SSB. If you keep the SWR below 3:1 there should be no problems. If using a mode with continuous carrier it should probably be de-rated to 1000 watts for reliability.W3SYH, Nuclear Physicist

Probably has, why not? Coax is just an RF pipe. I'm using it for 0 - 30 mHz receive only.

I'm sorry, I can't answer that question. I have not been able to even try anything yet; everything is still in the boxes until after I take my HAM operator training and test.

It has a better receiver than my radio shack radio. I was impressed with the clarity of am, fm as well. 100 miles seems like a possibility if the broadcast station is a strong one.

I,ve had mine for a while and is very good with some radios. I have an older Sony table model and it works great with it, not so well with modern cheap radios, AM receivers have gotten very poor in the last many years. I just set it on top of the radio and turn it and the antenna dial via inductive coupling, works pretty well. Has a "mini-phono plug" on antenna if your radio has AM connectors, this is for AM only.

It surely could be. We installed it to make the radio portable. We use it out on the porch, when working in the garage and outside. It is a nice feature.

I don't think so. I couldn't get it to work as a radio. Don't waste your money

It's a ham radio that operates out of band. Without checking if it's frequency range covers it then it should. It depends on what pl codes, offsets and repeater frequencies you're using.

No it can't and if said it does their a Bold face lie all it's good for is running a Ham radio amplifier

It is a analog radio and will not decode digital transmissions. It is designed as a Ham Radio / commercial FM Tranceiver. It can receive a wide range of frequencies but it is analog not digital.

No, it is not made for a radio, it's made to pick up HDTV. If you want to tweak it, buy it, take some wire cutters and attach the copper ends to the antenna and see if it works. Results vary based on where people live in the world.

Yes, I tried to use this as HD radio receiver at home. It worked, but the sound quality was bad, much worse than FM in my receiver. You get what you pay for.

Mark; I don't understand your question! I use only ham bands and it is an excellent little radio. I have heard others use out of band freq.

Not sure, I haven't tried. Mainly bought it for a TV not connected to any other devices (cable box, DVD player, etc). Main use was for remote operation of a tv in the kitchen.

I haven't but if the radio has a strobe light output I would think it would work.

since technically ham radio - would not use in public spaces like walmart. My office which is medical and surrounded by medical and heavy concrete makes no interference for anybody else. I would also use it in a sparsely used "ham radio" type area -- even though lower and narrow freq. there is a debate on legality.

I am a ham and to tell you the truth i have not tried to transmit out side the ham band with the radio, sorry i could not be more help.

Absolutely, but it will require some tuning. If you are a ham, you shouldn't have too many problems. KC1AJT
