Where can I find electronic or ham radio equipment near Buffalo, NY?

I’m going to be spending a couple weeks in the southeast suburbs of Buffalo (near Orchard Park and East Aurora.) I plan to do some amateur radio operating, and there are some pieces I’d like to pick up there rather than lug; in particular a power supply (”12 volt” really 13.8, and about 25 amps.) What stores nearby should I look at (I can certainly drive all the way back to Buffalo, Amherst, etc. if that’s needed.)

Similar to buying most anything else that has been owned previously, there are some things you really need to be aware of before you spend your hard-earned cash. Buy, I’ve bought plenty of used electronics equipment in years past and I have been mostly delighted with my purchases because I have done a few simple things before laying down my cash.

Before I go into specifics about buying a used ham radio, I want to mention the fact that I only buy high-quality used items only – no bottom-end equipment, or off-brands for me. I always seek out the top brands and models from just a few years back, especially the ones that have stellar service records. You can find out the specifics on a product by going to Google and searching for the name of the item with the word “review” in the search bar. If the item you’re looking up is popular enough, there will be plenty of reviews and opinions available for you to look at to help with your purchasing decision.

First, you should go over the basic operation of the ham radio with the seller – even if that seller is online, and you can’t actually touch the machine. Cover in detail each function, making sure that he or she satisfies each of your questions in appropriate detail, in either an email or over the telephone, which is always much better in my humble opinion. I always ask plenty of questions, so I won’t be disappointed when my ham radio is delivered to my doorstep in a few weeks.

New Zealand’s Radio Spectrum Management Cites Ham for Transmitting 3100 W
Last month, New Zealand’s Radio Spectrum Management (RSM) — that country’s equivalent of the FCC — charged and fined Alan Potter, ZL3II, of Christchurch, for transmitting outside the terms and conditions of the General User Radio License for Amateur Radio Operators. Potter was charged in the Christchurch District Court on April 14 and found guilty of breaching Section 113 of the Radiocommunic…

Ham Radio Software For Mac

Following the DMCA, it was not economically feasible for thousands of internet radio stations to pay blanket fees for use of mainstream music.  Therefore, a new market for royalty free independent music is being created.  It is still not clear if independent internet radio will rival the power of terrestrial radio and it is also very difficult to measure the success of independent artists who may not be registered through Soundscan.

So, what might be the driving force behind this new development?  I believe the only way for independent internet radio to succeed is to attract people.  Hopefully, as people become aware of a reasonable alternative, it then becomes a matter of taste.

I think the timing may be right as we have been bombarded by the same songs mixed with a few new songs (averaging about 17 in rotation) for years now.  Traditional music industry resources have diminished and infrastructure has downsized considerably.  The downsizing of the traditional music industry can no longer provide enough music to satisfy the listening public.

Actually, supply has exceeded demand in the area of music for many years, but the supply is no longer limited to terrestrial radio and the majors.  Many believe independent music is taking a small portion of the market share, but again, it is very difficult to measure as many sales go unreported.  I believe the only real indicator will be the number of artists who are able to sustain themselves in the very near future.  If independent internet radio survives, then we should see growth that is borne out of a return on investment rather than a love for music.  It will take a while for the results to come in, but I suspect the Internal Revenue Service will be monitoring this very closely if it starts to show signs of life.

Meanwhile, royalty free internet radio does seem to be growing if you look at Live 365 or Shoutcast.  In addition,  I am able to Google hundreds of standalone stations that are playing independent music (I suspect I could find more if I had the time to dig a little deeper into the search results).

I think one element that will make independent internet radio a viable option will be the growth of mobile devices such as Blackberrys, iPhones, iPods, and a whole new generation of cell phones designed to offer the same  new features as their competitors.  The other element that will provide a boost will be the standardization of input jacks allowing mobile devices to play on car stereo systems.

The Amateur Amateur Fills-In
By Gary Hoffman, KB0H ARRL Contributing Editor My efforts to set up an APRS station (Automatic Packet Reporting System) had come to a standstill. I had installed a program called UI-View32 . It was pretty slick, with volumes of data in its Help file, but there were still plenty of parts of it that I didn’t understand. It was time to find an Elmer. I won’t go into the serendipitous events that …
