Six Meters, the 'Magic' Band : Q&A - eHam.net
Its popularity is on the rise thanks to several new all-mode six-meter rigs on the market. The main FM simplex frequency is 52.525 MHz. Your local range is better on six meters than on two meters with the same power and a similar antenna. If two meters is too crowded in your area, the FM portion of six meters may be just the solution you need!

Reviews For: Alinco DR-MO6TH - eHam.net
Nice 6 meter mobile radio Time Owned: more than 12 months. My son got me this rig used about 14 years ago. I bought the tone board for it and installed it into my pickup where it resided for 10 years. It always worked well, never had any issues with at all. Receive was as good as any 6 meter FM mobile I've owned over the last 40 years.

2) Mic level setting is WAY too hot in stock config. I don't talk loud. But I talk close. Mobile mics are traditionally built that way to act "noise cancelling" against the ambient noise in a vehicle. Based on the live signal reports I was getting with this mic and settings, I needed to back off from the mic about 6-8 inches.
Reviews For: Ten Tec 1260 - eHam.net
I don't think Ten-Tec spent a lot of effort in designing the 1260. It was a fun kit to put together and it would have rocked if the thing wasn't so crappy. If you want a single band 6 meter mobile rig, buy an Alinco DRM06TH or convert a Motorola, GE or Midland. Take a pass on this one.
Norwalk Electronics Dominator 5/8 wave vertical for 6m - eHam.net
The best 6 meter vertical by far Time Owned: more than 12 months. The Dominator 6 is one of the best built antennas I have ever seen. It is expertly designed, and construction is beyond rugged. I have worked all over the United States on as little as 8 watts with excellent reports. This antenna has no equal in the market.

The model I bought in August 2021 is the 6 element 50Mhz LFA-MAX with a 5.8m long boom. It was easy to put together with the help of the good product manual. Later designs may be slightly different. I think I can safely say that I have worked every DX station I have heard on the 6m band, be it on CW, FT8 or SSB.
