It's a conflict of interest for manufacturers or their employees to review their own products. Click the News header on Home page then look for Add News button. If a manufacturer would like to announce or raise awareness for their product eHam suggests writing a brief News release and submit it to eHam's News. Reviews of equipment capable of CB/Freeband operation or not FCC Certified/Type Accepted may be removed.ĭo not add your own products to a product category.Ĭustomers and product users will add your product to a product category listing and write reviews when they are ready to share their product opinion. In the interest of maintaining objective product reviews for all review readers, requests to remove Approved product reviews may be declined by eHam.įor protection of eHam review readers reviews should not contain links/URLs off-site. Review authors should be able to share their product experience and opinion without being publicly criticized. Edits will go thru the review Approval process.ĭo not submit a product review criticizing another review or reviewer. You can add to or update/edit your existing review's content including the rating and time owned with the Edit button on the right side of the review text body. Multiple reviews of the same product by one person will unfairly bias/skew the product average rating numbers. Reviews are limited to one review per product per reviewer.

If using an anonymous eHam user ID for submitting reviews be aware of a recent court ruling regarding identity disclosure of writers of false reviews. Reviews only stating "Its great"or "Terrible product" are not helpful without supporting information why its great or terrible. Mixing reviews together of both products and companies/customer service results in product Rating numbers/Stars that do not reflect a correct Rating of the actual product.Ī review should provide useful relevant opinions of a product.
The correct place for these reviews is the eHam Community Forum "Company Reviews". The product reviews is not the correct place for reviews of customer service or companies/dealers/manufacturers. It is not a Forum for two-way exchanges, product inquiries, general discussions or complaints, help requests, product repair or modification, or customer service issues. Products for review typically should be tangible items such as radios, antennas, towers, etc.ĮHam's Product Reviews are intended to provide an opportunity to share an opinion, positive or negative, of a commercially available amateur radio-related product or service.Ī valid product review is one where you have experience or knowledge of the product you would like to share with others. If your new review has not been Approved after several days you can assume that it was found to not be within the product review T's&C's shown below during screening.

The delay is for new review screening and approval.
There is a delay before newly submitted reviews are Approved and posted in eHam's reviews. eHam's Product Reviews are a database collection of personal opinions of amateur radio & related products and services.Ģ. What's really needed is either one program that works with all radios, or some standard that allows the common data (freq, offset, tone, etc) from one program to be easily exchanged with a different program.
The workaround is to save all memory data into a comma-separated value (.csv) file, edit the file with a text editor to keep only the data you want, then load this resulting. (If someone knows of a way, please post up instructions here!) I don't know enough about the underlying programming "widgets" provided in Microsoft developer's library to know who's to blame for this lack of interoperability, but it's a major pain in the a$$ for users like me. Thus if you use program X for your Icom mobile radio and program Y for your Yaesu handheld and program Z for your Kenwood base unit, there's no easy way to move data from one program/radio to another.
The sad state of affairs we're in is that there appears to be no interoperability between the different software applications that are out there. But you cannot paste this data into an Excel spreadsheet, and you cannot paste the data into another radio programming application. You can select multiple rows of data and copy/paste these into other rows in the memory programming spreadsheet. I agree with KR6FK - the new version from RT Systems is much improved.
