Great Pass Was a great pass here. I worked Craig, W1MED for a nice contact where we confirmed he was using his VX-8 versus his Wouxun HT. I am in CT and worked Cleveland, OH and 4 other stations in addition to Craig in Massachusetts- I have to go back to the digital recording and look up the...

Antennas Let's not be too hard on him guys as to what he should have done and what's a waste of money...we all learn (well most of us) from doing and we do better the next time. I have had some great antennas, including the G5RV wire antenna I use today, which I 'bought in a store', that have...

50 It's 13:40- 13:55 Local here and 70 deg elevation. We'll see if I can shoot out at lunch and shout at you.

SO-50 No joy! No Audio At All? Well, I made it out there at 0500 this AM, Arrow Antenna and VX-8DR in hand. I spent more then half of the pass listening but heard no audio whatsoever. I did key up with the arming PL for 2 seconds a few times and transmitted but I never heard even a second of...

The question is CAN I get up at 0445 and drive to the park to work SO-50 at 0515 in the morning tomorrow?? Wife is away...may be..ouch....look at that elevation in the Next Passes box at the bottom for Tuesday 0515.....89 degrees! :w00t:

10M and some 6M 10M was open here in CT. I worked a number of southern US and Midwest US stations. I made a few contacts on 6M...a first for me with the Yaesu FT-897D...just never had 6M before on the Kenwood TS-870.

RT Systems SW for FTM-350 Could not agree more on RT Systems....great people, great service. I have their SW and cables for 3 HTs and the FTM-350 and 897D...being able to exchange memories by cut and paste is awesome. I do wish I could go to Arc396 from Butel and drag and 'copy' then 'paste'...

So I am settling in to using the FTM-350 and really liking it. I was sort of familiar as I have been using a VX-8DR, but there's a lot to learn here. At first I used the rig set up the way I most likely will....APRS on left side with pop-ups for Beacon RX set to 3 seconds so I see them but...

Beacon TX I had the issue you are describing with the Beacon TX-error after I did the FW update...but what was going on was that I had a GPS fix and I was trying to send a beacon to test the set up...when you do this manually, you have to ensure that you have selected the 'side' of the FTM-350...

FW Update easy and well-documented I did the upgrade to 1.1 this AM early. I used the RT Systems cable that comes in the Yaesu software programming cable kit. It was easy to do. Just be aware that it does require a full reset of the radio which wipes all settings and memories. I backed up my...

Nice Store That Salem store is nice, nice group of people too. Picked up the FTM-350, the internal GPS, ADMS SW and cable and a mount. They didn't have the Lido passenger seat bolt gooseneck mount I want so they ordered that for me. In the meantime I used a cup holder mount with a gooseneck on...

Questions on FTM-350 It will allow the VX-8DR to send it APRS transmissions and repeat them out from there cross-band? I gathered that here: http://www.worldwidedx.com/vhf-uhf-bands-vhf-uhf-rigs/40252-review-new-yaesu-ftm-350-a-6.html but I also see the petition post for digipeating....can...

Darn you guys (especially Moleculo and W1MED/Craig) for your awesome and incredibly thorough Vimeo HD reviews and Blog posts with high quality pictures of the FTM-350! I can't take it any more and plan to pick one up in the afternoon tomorrow on my way home to CT from business in Portsmouth, NH...

Replacement CT-136 Solved Problem!! Yay Well I got back from Toronto to find that Lentini Communications had come through with a replacement Yaesu CT-136 mount for the GPS adapter for my VX-8DR. I mounted it, headed outside and had 5 satellites within 20-30 seconds from power up and a good...

AO-51 Great. I am in FN31 here and I believe Craig is in FN42. CA to CT or MA would be a big footprint for a LEO wouldn't it?

AO-51 and WWDX .com! Doh! I knew as soon as I said it that it was .com :oops: but hey, that was one of the crazy AO-51 passes. Great fun though these satellites and nice to hear you again this AM. I'm eying that Wouxun HT to add to my stable of VX-8DR, VX-5R, FT-51, FT-530, VX-2 and Standard...

Review An interesting read Moleculo. Thanks.

Field Day I'll be heading to Field Day in Norwalk, CT near where I live. Our local clusb, GNARC takes it very seriously. We have a hazmat trailer coming from the city fire department for emergency power all weekend. We'll have three stations plus a GOTA station and a networked set of dedicated...

Good Call Should see use, thanks for putting it up.

AO-51 Craig- I was on AO-51 while you were ...I listened to your MP3 in your blog, which looks great by the way, congrats...my call is heard early in the recording and then later working you! Got your eQSL card with the headphones on it and replied. Thanks! [can you confirm you got my eQSL?]...
