    Questions about VHF radios?

    Just one place to take a practice test online (FCC requirements are that all questions and answers are published). http://aa9pw.com/radio/technician/ I would buy a real marine band radio for use on the water. They are built better, plus they are actually certified for use on the marine band...

    Rayovac PS23-B AA AAA "glow" charger?

    July 2015, still have a few of these chargers working every week. I got several for $6 at Northern Tool so I guess I got my monies worth :D

    Swap guts of maglite 2C ican with 2D Rebal LED?

    Funny follow up.... I took all of the old crap from my coworkers, gave them my good gear and turned in all the old stuff. One guy got a better duty belt, one guy got a new maglite (I turned in his old one with dead batteries) and another got new cuffs. It was like Christmas :cool:

    Eneloops with dented tails?

    As a follow up.... I had two sets of batteries I used in this light at work. Even with the dented tail, I used these four batteries every week until this spring when I finally retired them.

    Black and Decker 4C LED spotlight

    My local Big Lots has these for $10 now. I plan on getting one tomorrow (and one next week, then another the week after) :)

    Eneloops with dented tails?

    I have been using a Maglite 2D LED with some D to AA battery adapters (1 to 1) and the battery in front is dented from the spring pressure of the rear adapter pressing against the front battery. They do not appear to be getting worse, and I rotate the same sets through the light so none of...

    DFW End of Summer, 23 Oct. 2010

    I'm off weekends now, except for this Saturday. Oh well, maybe next time. OP, feel free to send me a PM on the next one since I'm not on here too much and I hope to make the next one.

    Suggest a light for night time warehouse use.

    I actually saw an ITP A6 at Frys the other day for $90. Came home today to check the price online, ewwww what a markup. I'll keep my eyes on a new fusion 36 drop in popping up, might send the seller a note tomorrow to see if they have any that are not listed. I could use one for my current...

    Suggest a light for night time warehouse use.

    I have. I've done security work for 13 years, just a new job in a new state. I already have my EagleTac T10LC2 on my belt along with a Brinkmann Maxfire in my pocket along with the 3 AA LED MiniMag. I have the Mag because I have 12 of them plus around 60 Eneloops, so it seems a shame to let...

    Suggest a light for night time warehouse use.

    My main concern is ruggedness and a flood beam. I've got pretty good throw but I want to see everything in my immediate area, not as concerned with what is 400 feet away. As for chasing someone, it's not that type of job and I'm not as "strapped" as I used to be so if they leave, I'm happy...

    I remember... "the good old days" of CPF

    I remember when things seemed relaxed around here.

    Suggest a light for night time warehouse use.

    I have a new job, security in an old warehouse that is likely 400' by 1000'. The most used end of the building has recently been updated with ceiling hung CFLs (27w/100 equivalent) that light up the entire area very well. The rest of the building has quite a few super dark areas, very dark...
