The MMDVM was a great edition for me, especially since the local D-Star repeater moved out of range of the handheld aerial.

I also like the shack clock I got from QRP-Labs, along with the GPS...

16’ 6” is the height of a double decker bus, from memory, and heights of cables over roads, etc, have a minimum height to take this into consideration. I would have to dig the regs out to find exact...

An awful lot of hams I know started off with the humble Baofeng, then upgraded as money became available.

It’s surprising just how far you can get.

I used to use a Pi to run the shack, until I tried to install WSJTX (this was a few years back now), which proved very difficult at the time. In order to get up and running I substituted the Pi for...

I’m running an FT-897D for FTI, using a SignaLink interface. The Data out goes to the SignaLink and the CAT goes to the computer.

There are generally helpful videos for most radios on YouTube.

It is unlikely that you’ll find a single radio that satisfies all your needs.

I have 7 handhelds, though I have 2 which I use mostly: 1 for 2m/70cm/D-Star, and 1 for DMR/70cm. The others are...

It’s correct as shown in the manual, so just wind them as they show.

There are plenty of websites explaining the theory.

Why not use the Yaesu one?

Hello Richard,

And welcome aboard.

its good to get your 2E0 over as quickly as possible, as the syallabus is changing later this year.

Kind regards,

I’d stay away from kits, really.

I usually suggest a dummy load built in a Tate and Lyle treacle tin. This uses 20 x 1k 3W resistors in parallel giving a potential of 60W, or higher if you fill...

I suppose it depends on your definition of expensive. I started off with an MFJ Intellituner and a random wire which exits the house by being trapped in the french window door. The wire goes down the...

Have you made sure your installation software is compatible with the update?

Without switching the computer on, to check, I think some part of the version number needs to be the same for it to...

And a merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.

I closed the thread, not out of malice or that it was tiresome, but because it was reiterating points already made and somewhat going round in circles.

Several members gave their opinion, which...

Welcome back.

DMR is a useful tool for local contacts, and those who are very restricted on what aerials they can put up, in addition to being another mode for others to enjoy. We run GB7MR.

I started off with, and still have installed, a length of multi strand hook wire trapped in the patio door, going 4m up the drainpipe then down the garden in a reverse 7 shape. This is approximately...

Sounds good, hope everything goes well.

I believe not. The display is showing both VFOs, which are not linked.

Not really sure why you’d want both moving together. It’s a bit like having two televisions both showing the same channel.

Two options don’t give enough variability, so didn’t complete survey.

I log via QRZ, but have this linked to LOTW as you get more confirmations through there. I then export an .adif which I import...
