I don't own hip waders, I'll head for higher ground I have a HTC Touch Pro 2, Win Mobile 6.5 professional

An actual physical serial port may be needed, I know from experience at work that a lot of the USB/serial converters aren't what they need to be. For a laptop it would cost over $30 outside of ebay for an expresscard serial port. Here is an old post from QRZ that I posted to just to be able...

I think the Wouxun USB programming cable uses the prolific driver, the cable works on my XP laptop but doesn't on my WIN7 laptop. Wouxun.com does have an updated vista/win7 usb driver listed(8/10/2010) that may help even with your HRD issues. Nice recording with the ISS Link to new USB...

According to the original post the limits are: The allowed frequency range variations for the KG-UVD1P are: 2m/440 version 144-148 & 420-450 (TX) 136-174 & 350-470 (RX/TX) 136-174 & 400-480 (RX/TX) 136-174 & 420-520 (RX/TX) 136-174 & 400-470 (RX/TX) 136-174 & 350-470 (RX/TX) 144-146 &...

Congrats on the ISS contact. All you may need to do to get the HRD Sat Track working is go to the tools menu in HRD and select IP server, click on start with HRD and same pc connection only. Then in sat tracker, click radio pane if its not on the window, click options on the radio pane, it...

Looks nice, and its nice to have a button or knob to control functions rather than endless menu settings

You may want to look into a QFH(I think that is what they're called) antenna, a quadrafilar helix for RX. A guy on radioreference built one and used it to RX from one of the NOAA sats with a scanner and the images were great. Have you tried your current antenna at a 45 angle? W6GMT's qrz...

I thought QRZ did get some kind of warning a couple years ago about the export radios. I do believe there were a couple posts here because of it too

To hook it up to a laptop screen would almost be impossible unless it was through HRD, most laptops I have been around only have video out. Very nice looking radio, nice screen compared to the 857. Were you on AO-51 for the 1100 Z pass this morning? I was pointed into some trees when I...

Yes, sticker shock, for that much money I would rather have a new Kawasaki Mule to ride around in

RT Systems software is about the easiest way to program any radio, I think they charge about $60 for the program and programming cable. I imagine that the 2900 is like the other Yaesu products where you can assign names to memory banks, so you could name the bank Marine and program in the freq...

An equatorial mount is a bit different than what you are doing I took some pictures of my elk antenna using a camera tripod Now if I used the tripods axis to rotate the antenna I would have fixed my elevation at about 45 degrees, but if I use the bolt that holds the elk onto the tripod...

The ramsey preamps are cheap($14 plus shipping), but come as kits, I think Moleculo built one. They do need a RF Sense relay to bypass them when you tx. There are some manufactured units for around $100. An equitorial mount can be pretty simple(and homemade). It can be as simple as bending...

You might want to look into the ramsey preamps and possibly an equatorial mount for the rotator

1) if the aprs beacon is on auto, it will transmit on any frequency the B band is set to 2)page 162-163 of the manual should help out, message notification, aprs beacon ringer and aprs msg ringer I have the VX8-GR and have used it to transmit APRS packets to the ISS on 145.825, just had to...

Have you tried the 857 with the data connector with HRD sat to see if the audio skip is gone? I know it is bad through the speaker and audio jacks with HRD controlling the up/downlink freqs with the sat tracker. I think I checked your call on qrz to see if your general upgrade was official...

How do they know the CBers addresses? By the antennas on the houses? File a complaint with the FCC, report it to local police about the drive by harrassment. Will anything be done, who knows until its reported. An amateur radio license doesn't make anyone a good operator no more than a...

So how are you going to install this and still get your SSB and PSK31 contacts, with all the contacts you've made since upgrading I'd think it was field day for a week.

If you are having problems with launching the Java version of SatScape, the fix is to go Scott Hather's Web site | Download and download it again. Scott has moved his website and it prevented SatScape from launching

Well the guy was smart to stand back from the woman in red with the fork in her hand, if he keeps her away from the table too long he may be the next meal
