    W9WDX B Homebrew D-Star Repeater updates

    Like so... Cheap/old analog radio, $100 MoenComm board, $20 worth of cables and a $1 tupperware container. Don't follow my lead on the tupperware. I discovered the other day that the board was RF sensitive when I blew 300w out of a VHF antenna near by. Didn't damage anything, but I did have...

    Please help me, I'm looking for a digital radio...

    Icom ID-31 will record UHF, and the ID-51 will record VHF/UHF to a mini-SD card.

    Radio Hump Mount

    I used this same mount to hold two radios "piggybacked" and it worked like a charm. It never moved unless I moved it. Well worth the $12 I paid for it.

    "Miracle Power Cord" fixes major RFI issue...

    I've had an issue with my HF radio wreaking havoc on some household electronics ever since getting my ticket. Furnace fan coming on, electronics freezing up or going wild. It was a hoot... Changed antennas, added chokes, the usual. I ended up building a mega-grounding system out of 2" copper...

    Just Another Day At Work...

    So when you open the door and Titan hurls, do you have to keep going? And these people have to call in a trained dog to confirm they have a problem? lol I thinking it's more like the landlord calling in the dog because other tenants are complaining? Do you feel dirty? Do you get the runs often?

    Radio Shack Closing Up To 1,100 Stores

    Remember their ad slogan, "you've got questions, we've got answers..."? I joke on a local repeater when someone goes there looking for a part with, "you've got questions, we've got cell phones..."

    Newbie Alert

    The Superloop is pretty stealthy. Especially if you hang a bunch of tomato cages off the neighbor's balconys. It'll blend right in. BTW, be sure you get the motor drive option ironed out before you take delivery. :bdh:

    charleshatten

    Or the UHF/VHF forum... One thing that's a must do if you want your post read is a short, pertinent title on the thread. Wrong spot for "user name". lol A title like "TM-V71A RX/TX CTCSS Programming Issues" on your other post will have the right members looking at it and offering help...

    Kenwood TM-V71A RX/TX CTCSS Programming Issues

    Let's just say for argument's sake, you've got the one and only V71 with a part 90 sticker on it... First, has it had the Mars mod to allow it to transmit in the 150's like you need it to? If it's box stock, you're going to have to start there or it won't TX out of the amateur bands. There's a...

    Bon Voyage Pierce Morgan - No Work... No Work Visa

    Unfortunately I'm sure Bloomberg or some other commie will pick up the poster boy for the left, allowing him to keep his work visa. Maybe we'll get lucky enough for him to carry out his threat of "deporting himself if America doesn't change it's crazy gun laws".

    Tap-a-Talk app notifications being a PITA.

    I used to get a pop-up (whether signed in or not) each time I opened the forum on my phone saying tapatalk was available and you could either "cancel" or "download" (or something like that). Today without being signed in, bringing up the forum got me a tapatalk pop up, but the two choices were...

    W9WDX B: DStar Repeater Coverage

    Something's acting up. I just linked it to REF001B, saw the connection come up on dstarusers.org's "last heard" page. I never got the "linked to 001B" text display, nor could I get MY call to come up on the last heard display when I hit it with "CQCQCQ" through the gateway. Trying the "U"...
