I use HRD on my Win 7 PC. How many cables to do you have plugged into the 718? Just 2 audio cables? What are your com port settings for digipan, under configure and serial port settings? I think that you may not fully understand the differences between digipan and HRD. Digipan doesn't...

Do you have a cable connected from the radio to the computer other than audio cables? HRD offers full control of the radio through the computer, changing bands, frequencies and this error usually means that the cable isn't connected. Some of the soundcard interfaces use a com port for the PTT...

Just looked at a FT990 manual, using data out and ground from the PACKET port might get you the audio without the muting

If it is like the FT-857D/817/897, you can get better audio through the data jack on the back of the rig, on the 857 you use 1200bps out and ground to get audio out. If you have a soundcard interface for digi modes you could use that, and I also think there was a CAT mod using the mic jack but...

Probably a cheap mission compared to that rocket they crashed into the moon just to see if they could detect some form of water.

It actually has to do with the power consumption involved in repeating the 100% duty cycle of a FM signal, SSB and CW are usually less than 50% duty cycle. VO-52 is one of the younger linear sats and its about 6 years old now. You've probably read some of Mark Hammond's post on the amsat board...

The diamond rh77ca has some good reviews: http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/1340

It sounds like your mind has already made the decision. You should see if Moleculo has done a review on the IC-7000, his reviews are a great help. I only have the 857 and use it as a base radio mainly for psk-31 but it's size would be perfect for a mobile in cramped space but most mobiles...

Since Doug Wheelock came back to the surface-Nov 2010?, the only voice activity has been for scheduled school contacts. I am sure there are three licensed amateurs onboard, but they are allowed to use the radio on their off time. I believe the reason they aren't using the crossband repeater...

Deployment of the sat was delayed until July, it will however be hooked to an external antenna of the ISS on April 12 and be transmitting.

You could use a program like digipan and feed the audio from the HT into the mic input on the computer. When you run digipan click View, and show frequencies and when you get the audio you will notice a straight line on the left side of the waterfall on the bottom of the window, move you mouse...

HRD has a nice logging program with a lot of options, you can auto upload to eQSL, hrdlog.net, qrz, and with the hrd utilities program you can upload to LoTW. The HRD suite does take a good PC to run it. If you get into the digital modes using the HRD Digital Master program it makes the...

Are you sure it wasn't two green stamps or one IRC is required? He is basically telling you that if you send him a QSL card, and you want one of his, you will have to put two dollars or one IRC with SAE to get it International reply coupon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Congrats on the...

You could check to see if there is an amsat area coordinator closeby AMSAT - Area Coordinators

I used a USB cable with my Wouxun

So true. I used a 857D with a homemade dipole in the attic and made psk31 contacts in Japan, Russia, Ireland and all over the US only running 25 watts. Get a programming(CAT) cable and Ham Radio Deluxe makes it a little simpler to use

You could start by reading Work the FM Ham Satellites Check out his 4 page pdf on working the sats. If you plan on just working the FM sats, AO-51, A0-27(ascending passes only between 30 and 60N latitude) and SO-50 are the only ones currently active over North America. SO-67 is active over NA...

Are you asking how to memorize what frequencies you can transmit on as a General class license holder or how to figure out what band a certain frequency is in? If you need to find what band a frequency belongs to, the formula is 300/freq(in MHz)= band. It gets you close. The frequencies...

Get an arrow, elk, or build a directional antenna and have some fun on the FM sats with that nice HT. The duplex capability makes it perfect for AO-51, SO-50, AO-27, SO-67 when its active over North America and HO-68 when its in FM mode(currently inactive) Just use VFO A for the downlink and...

Rock Auto has good prices. GMPartsdirect has good prices on GM parts, usually about 1/2 dealer price but their shipping and handling can be a bit high compared to some others.
