Depends if the memory in the radio is volatile or not. I'm betting it is not. After all, you don't lose your presets in your HT when you change batteries; I'm willing to bet the mobiles are made the same way. There's an easy way to find out ;)

Automatic Power Off Switch?

Decent picture here. Also some specifications, though who's to say it's accurate.

Any idea on a US date for these yet?

Well, looks like that guy has a $1 reservation fee and is selling for $185, but only to customers with more than 3 feedbacks. That sounds like good news to me.

So I noticed today that the FNB-V94 1800mah battery is cheaper (by a couple bucks anyway) than the FNB-83 1400mah battery, at least at the couple online vendors I checked. Is this battery being discontinued? Any reason not to take advantage of buying this cheaper but higher capacity battery?

I reserved # 508. This could be pretty cool if it delivers.

I hear what you're saying there, but eventually you will run into problems with even commercial solutions. This info is supposed to give you the background to help you identify and rectify, as well as use it to your best advantage. Building an AM transceiver is on my to do list, but it's not...

The handbook and the operating manual did alot to help me with the issues you are talking about. However, I wouldn't call antenna radiation nonsense. The tech exam is supposed to start you on the basics of amateur radio's technical side and how radio works, not the etiquette of how to work...

He might be limited for TX, but he can RX the hell out of any band. That's still plenty fun.

Soooo do you just hope it doesn't rain?

Blog spam?

Maybe something like the Yaesu FTM-10R might work better. More power, more antenna. Depending on terrain it may get out better than the ht.

OK, that's what I thought. Thanks.

So what would be the popular mode for working 6M? I'm wondering if something like the Alinco DR-06T would be worth while. It's FM only. Is SSB not used much on 6M? I've never had a 6M rig so I'm clueless as to what goes on there.

That's a negative. You may be confusing me with someone else.

I called like every call, NA1SS, this is Kd0FQX EN00 (grid) Mobile (cause I was mobile at the time). Cmdr confirmed my call. Then I cleared. I wouldn't call CQ to NA1SS because you are trying to contact a specific station.

Heh, I did log it in LOTW, but I should send a real one.

That's a good thing to know.

I have neither piece at this point. I'm a brand spankin new rider, fresh from the MSF course. I want an APRS on my bike so when I drive off the cliff it might help someone to find my body and I just figured that if I could get bluetooth to work like so, I would do so. If I can't, it's not a...
