If APRS was the only factor, I would go with the VX8GR because right now its 160 cheaper at gigaparts. But when you say cost is not a factor, go with the Kenwood. It can do full duplex, digipeat, good battery life, and a metal belt clip. It is larger and heavier than the VX8GR but does a good...

Sounds like you have it right. I have 6 memories programmed for each FM sat, 5 for the RX with doppler corrections and one tx. The A side is supposed to have the better sensitivity so I use that for RX. I hope to have my speaker mike with the 3 programmable buttons tonight. I plan on...

It's not only the members of our armed services that deserve our respect, we should show much respect to their spouses and families also as they sacrifice too when their loved one is gone

You could probably use a directional yagi with the garmin, but I guess eliminating the yagi was one of the reasons for going to the garmin. What kind of hunting are you doing? You could probably find longer whips for the collars but in dense brush they would probably get beat up quick or the...

Good to hear that you survived that without much damage. The last good wind that went through here took quite a few tabs, some ridge cap, and my tv antenna. When I redid the roof I found quite a few shingles were not sealed down anymore, they would kick loose every time I used the air nailer...

I ran a couple non-scientific tests of my own. From the second floor of the house, both the VX-8GR and TH-D72 got GPS lock from anywhere from 35 seconds to 90 seconds. Later I tried from the first floor and the VX-8GR got a position before the TH-D72 did and by close to a minute sooner. I am...

Found the answer in the memory channel pdf file. It can do odd splits but the RX and TX freq have to be in the same band. It is only 1 more used memory per sat so it shouldn't be a problem

Thanks for the post Patrick. I got a surprise and received my ThD72 on the eighth and have been playing around with the different functions. When I finally get used to the Kenwood way of doing things(rest of my radios are Yaesu and 1 wouxun) I am sure I am going to really like it. Is there...

Just remember, It is never too early to panic

Nice review. WD9EWK has been using this HT lately for full-duplex on the FM sats. I ordered one on the first but it is not expected to ship until the 15th of the month. This is WD9EWK's initial report: Hi! The TH-D72A is the real deal as a cross-band full-duplex HT for FM satellite...

Sounds like the programmable memory scan function may have been enabled, check the display for "PMS- ". Check your manual to disable

YouTube - Space Station Crew Uses HAM Radio to Call Earth The first half is a small tour of the station and the second half is Doug Wheelock operating the radio onboard the ISS

I cannot find that dll file on either of my Win 7 PC's and the one was upgraded from vista. There is a chance you could download that file on the internet and put it in the /windows/sytem directory and it would work, I am sure it is just a DirectX version 8 dll for visual basic. You may just...

I haven't had any trouble running it on Win 7 How are you trying to install? Do you have administrator privileges on the PC?

Short path and long path would be my guess, but the long path isn't strong enough to be heard when the beam is pointed towards the short path. Second guess is Deja Vu

My UVD1P only does the crazy name/number/freq change after switching from memory mode to VFO mode(I don't remember what the manual calls it? work mode?). I jjust checked it tonight and I can turn it off all I want after having the memory set to channel name but after switching to VFO by pushing...

I think I have posted this here before. But the first few times plugging the programming cable into the radio, it may take some effort. I had the connection error when I first plugged my cable in, then after searching the web, it seems this is a common problem with the Wouxun- that it takes a...

You shouldn't have any problems getting into Japan. Just verify that the PC clock is accurate, compare to an atomic clock and correct if necessary, or synchronize with time.windows.com WSPR 2.0 is a bit different, there is a TX% slider and a box marked special(don't have the idle box...

You should check out some of the videos on youtube to see what people have done to mount the antennas on camera tripods

I think I have it figured out, made it to JK3MKC in Japan from Wisconsin on 5 watts. The waiting to start thing was driving me crazy
