MAJOR MANUFACTURES AND OR THEIR DEALERS OFFER FOR SALE A LARGE VARIETY OF MAINLY NEW EQUIPMENT.  A GREAT PLACE TO SEE AND HAVE YOUR HANDS ON THE EQUIPMENT TO EVALUATE THE FEEL, SIZE, WEIGHT, FEATURES, VISUAL DISPLAY, SOUND QUALITY. PROGRAMMING EASE ETC. THIS IS THE PLACE TO ASK THE ON HAND EXPERTS ALL YOUR QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE AND THEY WILL TELL YOU ABOUT THEIR PERSONAL, AND THEIR CUSTOMERS EXPERIENCE WITH THE PRODUCT YOU ARE QUESTIONING THEM ON. THEY ARE USUALLY FROM YOUR LOCAL AREA AND THEY WILL GIVE YOU AND HONEST ANSWER AS THEY HAVE YOUR BEST INTEREST AT HEART AS THEY WANT YOU AS REPEAT CUSTOMER.  

FRONT END OVERLOAD THIS IS USUALLY MORE APPARENT IN THE METRO AREAS. SIGNALS FROM BUSINESS BAND, PAGERS, NOAH WEATHER, TV, FM, AM, BROADCAST ARE COMBINED INTO THE RECEIVER SO THAT NO RELIABLE COMMUNICATION CAN BE RECEIVED. IN SOME CASES WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE INABILITY TO COMMUNICATE EVEN A FEW HUNDRED YARDS.

INTERMOD  THIS IS CAUSED BY, AS AND EXAMPLE VHF SIGNALS FROM PAGERS AND BUSINESS BAND INTERFERING WITH THE RECEIVED TRANSMISSION IN THE AMATEUR PART OF THE BAND. MOST RADIOS MADE SINCE 1991 SUFFER FROM THIS AND IT HAS BECOME A GENERALLY ACCEPTED PROBLEM. THIS IS, THE BEEPS AND CHIRPS, AND SOMETIMES VOICES YOUR HEAR. THE SOLUTION IS A EASY ONE. DCI MAKES FILTERS THAT GO BETWEEN THE RADIO AND THE ANTENNA THAT ALLOW ONLY IN BAND, EXAMPLE: THE 144 TO 148 VHF AMATEUR BAND TRANSMISSIONS TO COME INTO THE RECEIVER.
