I don't believe the symptoms directly support trying to program the VFO. Its just the result of trying to load the memory and something is wrong in the data stream. Your symptoms are the end result. Another point to check. Wish I could get it all in one posting. :blush: On my VX8DR the...

bluepythons I took a look at the manual and another idea surfaced for you to look at. I don't know how chirp lays out the information so I am going to work from RTS layout. RTS has a column for transmit freq., receive freq., offset size and direction. For your odd split channels make...

They are being conservative or possibly know different 3rd party programmers work better than others. I use RT System on five different radio with no problems. Start will a very small version of your radio load. Like the first 5 or 6 memory locations. Check operations as you go and increase...

V_S_ My 1st impression looking at the picture is a conversion that requires access to both sides of the sheet metal. Not a screw it on the existing UHF mount and you are converted. I could be wrong. Mike

suggestion Capt., May not be practical for your setup, but for mine I use small parts bags. An example is #4 washers of each type (flat,split,internal-external tooth) gets it own bag. All the bags go in the same drawer together. Save some space unless each type would fill the drawer. Same...

Moleculo, GPS info is not needed for callsign routing. The recipient does have to keyup so his/her callsign will be associated with the local repeater stack at their new location. I am told at that point the internet part of DStar knows where you are for callsign routing. Mike

Using PL tone has two parts. Which one you selected and how it is being used. You indicate right PL tone so my assumption is the repeater needs tone to open the receiver at the repeater. For my VX8DR I would need to see TN in the upper right of the display indicating Tone Encoder is Active...

Copy and paste from WinRadio about the product. Their product line is SDR receive only radios. It might be OK for QRP operations, but I believe it is designed for their product line. Often referred to as Long Wire Balun, the WR-LWA-0130 adapter is used to match the impedance of a long wire...

My name? 5-way binding post and BNC (male/female) adaptor

SWEET! 53 Pages of heaven. Likely to be one of the few that open the box to get at the manual and read it before anything else. Therapy has not helped. At least not with reading the manual first.

I have a D710 in the car and after the novelty of APRS wears off the only time it is used is for ham supported special events. Good dual band dual receive radio for mobile or base. For fixed use (90%) the APRS function may be excess to your needs/wants. Let me add a suggestion not mentioned...

Forget what? I don't seem to recall what we where talking about. :thumbup1: PS It does have a following, but equipment cost limits some from not getting in. Another and for some this seems a big issue. Pin pointing your location. Along the lines of phones with GPS that can be tracked. Most of...

My display My display looks a little different and not sure why. I didn't see bearing and distance information under the compass rose. The last pic with MY POSITION is an indication that my beacon was heard, retransmitted and that was heard by my radio. GPS input was off and MY POSITION #1...

Say what? "undiscovered and currently underutilized technology" "relatively small number of users" To disagree means I have facts and figures to support my disagreement. I don't. Kenwood and Yaesu both support APRS with mobiles and handhelds. When I first got my 710 and looked at data...

MS150 Bike race north of the Dallas metroplex area. We run about 15 sag wagons picking up bikers that have mechanical or personal issues and can't get to the next rest station. Net control can keep an eye on the distribution of vehicle along the length of the course which is 75 miles for any one...

Sheepish grin!:scared: Not sure. Always relied on GPS input. I know that beacon does not work until the gps symbol on the display started blinking. During that time of non-blinking time I think the heard packets will not be displayed. If aprs packets are heard and displayed do they have...

FYI You don't need the GPS connected and running, you only need a valid location so the incoming packets will show a meaningful bearing and distance. Load MY POSITION and then you can proceed with the next youtube. Copy and paste from the PDF manual. When the GPS receiver is not...

Installed a Cobra in the car when I got out of the service in late '77. Kept it for a couple of years until I got another car and never moved it over. Got my ticket about 4 years ago when my job moved me away from hands on with electronics. Always worked the electronic field, but never RF. Very...

NO! The devil is in the details. Take out of order ok. Skip a step and operate at the higher level never. Mike
