well, huh. no wonder i got it so cheap a while back on eBay. i figured where it was the 25mW version, as opposed to the 1W version, that it was under part 15. oh well, maybe it will make a neat...

it is the 25mw version, BTW.

I have an old Ramsey FM100B stereo FM (88 - 108Mhz) transmitter kicking around, and i was wondering if there was a legal (USA) use for it?

~Travis

I understand that there is no CAT ability, but i was wondering if anybody knew of a way to read the frequency directly from the microprocessor, probably using an Arduino as a go-between. it would be...

once your upgraded to a member, the Quick Reply shows up.
(this sent via Quick Reply ;) )

~Travis

as i have already been granted member status, the wait for an upgrade is already passed. thanks for responding though.
I must say though, the admins are a lot more active and easier to contact in...

sounds easy enough. you may want to change your forum signature ;)

~Travis

I hope when i take my test on the 9th of next month (earliest meeting of the club, due to building restrictions), that my experience isn't like that. particularly seems i only know 2 letters of CW...

Congrats!

I found this, and i think it states the answer: http://www.hamtv.com/info.html#fccrules

actually, i found a wealth of info on the site. enough to interest me in the idea. :D

~Travis

perhaps section b.7, Telemetry, may work. it is typically used, to my knowledge, for information from various sensors, like temp, location, etc. would i be correct that a live video feed would fit...

wow, that's compact. i like how it fits into a D-shell.



maybe a "small signal" relay would have a small enough coil. could always use the 12V power to power the relays, though it wouldn't look...

Hmm, maybe it is a common circuit trace for all the modes. i will check mine and see what i get. i can always use the AV3 line if need be, as the link i gave told about.



that's a relief, i...

Hmm, interesting mod. i will have to try that pin with my scope, see if it works ;)
looks like it will only work from FM though. are the other modulations unsuitable for digi?

~Travis

Interestingly, i found the mod before my post got moderated. (no offense, but the moderation lag time is a PITA sometimes ;) )
Not sure what your photobucket picture was, all it showed was something...

I came across this project: http://solorb.com/elect/hamcirc/ts430interface/. on the schematic it shows a line out connection on pin 6 on the 8-pin mic connector. I am working on a project to build a...

Hmm, sounds like i kind of screwed up in getting an HF radio to start with. I know it is a bit off-topic for the antenna board, but what if i were to get a 2M transverter? would i have good luck with...

Ok, here are the results of my test wire. the wire is ~30 feet, as i strung it from one side of the porch to the other. plus the ~12 feet to bring it in a window where it meets the center conductor...

Oh, i see. i will just have to be a bit more patient. :D

back on the antenna, as far as the random long wire goes, for testing reception, how is the best method for insulating it? can i just use...

I will be taking my Technician license exam on 09-09-2017, so the antenna will be for transmit, once i get my license.

~Travis

that would probably work, though i would have to make sure i have room enough to swing 16+ feet.

not really to complain, but W5DXP has 10 posts, and is a member, and i have more posts, but i'm...

Hmm, looks a little complicated for first time out...

I was thinking of something i could just power up my radio, tune to a favorite frequency (when i find some), and operate.

with a dipole i...

ok, multiband vertical i understand, but magnetic loop? (please forgive my ignorance)

~Travis

in studying the site, it occurred to me that it is the ads that are dragging my system down. the ads change whenever the site refreshes. mostly just the Flash ads. i just disabled flash, so i will...

I plan to use my HF radio mostly on 10M. would i be better to use a vertical monopole @ 1/2wave? or would a horizontal dipole provide better performance?

I am fairly new to ham radio (testing for...
