Ham Radio Outlet

Yes

Hi Ron. A receiver cannot make you sick any more than your FM radio or TV will make you sick - they are both receivers. "High power" is a very subjective term. Most ham radio operators use 100 watts, which is not high power. We are allowed to use up to 1,500 watts, which is what hams would call high power. You say your "downstairs neighbor", which makes me think you are in an apartment or a condo building. To transmit, a an antenna is required. I would expect you would be able to see your downstairs neighbor's antenna as they are far from small pieces of equipment! While the primary effect of strong radio waves on the body is to heat tissue, you would have to be very close to (literally touching) the antenna while it is transmitting for you to feel any type of heating and you would instantly know because it would burn the skin. You would not hear any noise due to the transmitted signal. I think it extremely unlikely your neighbor's transmitter is the cause of your nausea etc.

Masks are worn at all times by our employees; surfaces are disinfected regularly throughout the day; the number of customers allowed inside the store is limited to a maximum of 5 at a time (smaller stores allow fewer customers inside at a time); customers must wear a mask or face covering (those with medical conditions that preclude the wearing of a mask/face covering can pick up their purchases curbside); Online/Phone ordering is still available, as is curbside pickup.

Ham Radio Outlet may accept good, clean, high quality, marketable equipment for sale as consignment items at the store manager's discretion. These items are then listed on our website and we take care of shipping and payment. Please call your closest store to see if your equipment qualifies and for all terms and conditions. Alternatives to selling your used equipment with HRO are, of course, private sales through local newspapers, ham clubs, Ebay etc. Also, as Daniel says below, there is a noticeboard at each store for local listings, at the manager's discretion.

Do You have the rigth PL tome?

Well most public safety radios are encrypted thus you will not be able to monitor them. Look at Radio reference . Com for info in your area.

Cobra is also very popular for CB radios, but you.can also pick up two Motorola or similar type handheld two-way radios. They work like a CB in that they're line of sight for range, but are also together cheaper than a single CB radio and you'd need a CB for each vehicle traveling together.
