Reviewers should be able to share their product opinion without being publicly criticized. Edits will go thru the review Approval process.ĭo not submit a product review critiquing 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 for each reviewer.

No obscenities, discriminatory, abusive, or other content not suitable in public or for younger readers.ĭon't review home brewed equipment or home-brew copies of commercially made products. If using an anonymous eHam user ID for submitting reviews there has been a court ruling regarding identity disclosure of writers of false reviews. Reviews only stating "Its great"or "Terrible product" are not helpful without more 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 valid Rating of the actual product.Ī review should provide useful relevant opinions of a product. The correct venue 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. The reviews are not a Forum for two-way exchanges, product inquiries, general discussions, complaints, help requests, product repairs or modifications, or customer service issues. Products to be reviewed typically should be tangible ham radio related items such as radios, antennas, towers, test equipment, feedlines, etc.ĮHam's Product Reviews are intended to provide an opportunity to share an opinion, positive or negative, of a commercially available ham radio-related product or service.Ī valid product review is one where you have experience or knowledge of the product that 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. Before adding a new product use the "Search" tool on reviews Home page to determine if that product already exists in a category.Ĥ. The delay can vary from minutes to a day or more.ģ.

The delay is for new review screening and approval.

There's a delay before newly submitted reviews are Approved and posted in eHam's reviews. eHam's Product Reviews are a database of ham radio related products and services personal opinions.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.
