no contact, but thats ok. hit or miss, i can work with that. i did get to see the i.s.s. scooting across the sky though and that was pretty cool. i havent tried ao-51 yet. thanks for all the help chris kb3tqo

still a new ham. ive always been iffy about reviews on commercial sites, all commercial posts ofcourse are great! i just wanna know what the real deal is. seems to me like its a great radio for the money but i want your input before i pull out my credit card.:unsure: thanks chis...

o.k. got it. that was the first time ive ever had fun programing this radio. ao-51 is covered but what about doppler shift when trying contact the crew on the I.S.S.??? TX is on the 70cm and RX on the 2m band. do you still only shift the 70cm freqs? thanks again, chris kb3tqo

I sent this as a private message to MOLECULO and he thought it would be a good idea to post it here so everyone can benefit from it Originally Posted by KB3TQO if it all possible, could you write me in detail how to program my vx8r with the odd split that you demoed in the how to operate...

hey whats up, good luck on your tech test and start studying for your general class before you forget what you just learned 73's

:oops:

base really. i dont mind having to wait a little for a good rig. i just dont want to buy five rigs to get the same effect. one nice one will do fine.

I live in Chambersburg PA and have been trying to make contact with a reapeter in Winchester VA, which is only 70 miles give or take using my vx8. I homebrewed a j-pole using twinlead and rg58 with a swr of 1.3. ive had my ticket since november and never even heard the repeater until last...

I finally did it, now i dont know what to look for in a rig. i want an all mode radio but have no clue where to start.

IVE FIGURED it out. with the vx8r all you have to do to enter the node numbers in is. press and hold the ptt button on a repeater freq that has echolink, while holding ptt dial the node numbers, they register as dtmf tones. its pretty cool. ic 7600 comming soon, upgrade date is april 11

i have just set up my account and all the fun jazz, i dont have an interface between the radio and computer nor a mic for the computer. cant i just type node numbers from my vx8r like dialing out on a telephone? how are hams doing this from mobile stations? how do i do it from my vx8r? help please

ok, thanks for the feedback. im really not made of money, it will take a while to save for it, i just dont wanna buy ten radios totaling the sum of the big boy. thanks again ill check these out chris

im gonna wait for a while after the upgrade to make my hf rig purchase do to the lack of funds. however i do want my first buy to be the last for awhile. any suggestions?????all mode base stations like the icom 7600 or comparable thanks in advance Chris
