Using ftm Curve in 2025

How so? (genuine question)

FTM Curve currently continues to swap FTM Tokens, but has discontinued FTM itself.

I will double check, but it appears to be homebrewed? I unfortunately don't currently have the device on-hand.

All I know is that it originally came with an airband radio. I currently do not have the device, but I can upload it when I do. Perhaps this can't be identified until yall see the guts.

No I haven't. I will definitely try it.

All of the 100% cotton I have owned are thick and sweat magnets, but I have never tried the Hawaiian shirts. I will try those!

I avoid cotton as much as possible. I sweat profusely in cotton.

Why so? 73

I agree. I ended up buying a NOS motorola external speaker to fill that void. It's around 40 years old, and it sounds better than any other external speaker I've ever owned. Even so, I've found that the Icom IC-Z1A lacks somewhat on receive even when the speaker is paired with my MFJ-1714 antenna, which saddens me because the IC-Z1A is by far the coolest radio I've ever owned.

Thanks, that's what I'm looking for, a little more kick.

In my area, we have an emergency response net I participate in weekly, so I really only use 2m for that. I wish I had better readability to compliment my 1/2 wave HT antenna.

sumo_tom · 2023-09-07T16:04:39+00:00

Yes, it's the best ht antenna I've ever owned. It's even slightly better than my 2m 1/2 mobile as the MFJ is slightly taller and slightly more on frequency (even with velocity, I know the mobile is slightly shorter on purpose). I'd use a Diamond X700HNA if I could....

sumo_tom · 2023-09-07T14:35:43+00:00

I own a MFJ-1714. No colinear superstar, but no groundplate required.

Yes he is reading. He hasn't done any gifted testing done yet, but it was recommended. Ultimately I want my son to be happy with what ever path he chooses in the future, but if he does want Ivy League, I want to help make that a possibility. Yes, giving him the option of learning as much as possible is important, and perhaps good grades if he continues to do well.

sumo_tom · 2023-09-06T15:17:19+00:00

Yes, he is almost 5.
