Since you know it works.....and I have yet to get it to work. Could I get you to make a try using a standard HT antenna? I am currently playing with a Diamond RHF40. I am not sure if I was just out of range today or ..... (could be both).

As I dig into APRS, I do not see FRS or GMRS mentioned. So I would think that it doesn't work, but I would love to have someone do the test. This goes to my question. If I have a VX8r and another VX8r, both with GPS, both with APRS setup, not around a digital repeater, can they see each...

I don't portage much. In the past I have dropped into Fall lake as my entry point and stuck to the larger lakes. As I told others in planning my next trip, I would rather paddle 2 miles than carry for 1. And I always pack to much, but I normally go solo, so..... I usually take a GPS and...

I don't think the people at work would appreciate me standing next to them. But it could be fun to go to a political rally or two.

Correct and I am using the wrong terminology. It is 144.390. Am I going person to person OR person to repeater to person?

Is APRS using SSB, repeaters, or both? I assume both. I would think it would need repeaters to connect to the internet and be put into the DB. I would think my other contacts would be SSB (HAM to HAM). Right? Or to put it a different way. If I am out of repeater range, I will not be...

I have no HAM clothing (stuff with a logo Amateur radio people would know). I would love to have a polo shirt that tells people I am a HAM without telling people who are not in the know that I am a HAM. I am thinking fire engine red or royal blue. Thinking a shirt with texture not smooth...

What is a HAMSPHERE? Is this the guy who plays the pan flute?

I don't have an answer for you, but I may be able to give you a few ideas. You can not do ham because you are a commercial venture. I think CB would work, but you would have to deal with anyone else on line. As mentioned GRMS should work, but there is 12 miles and then there is 12...

I am usually in a state of confusion. You will see my licenses says I am in Ohio, but I am not there.

Negative Comment It doesn't have a way of reviewing/changing APRS settings. Unhappy because it dropped my APRS setting.

Let start off with a few essentials. What range are you looking to communicate? Is everyone willing to get licensed? How many radios? How much money? Is this for professional racing or just playing around in the sand?

I believe the answer is yes, you can use one radio. But What specific radio (make/model) are we talking about? If I can see the spec I would know for sure.

As I understand it, all SW is in AM. My SW radio will pick up, SW, broadcast AM and broadast FM. With my HAM radio I have even more capability on receiving and transmitting. I transmit using FM or AM in my HAM freqs. Let me put it a different way, AM and FM are technologies, not...

I have no experience on the subject and I will admit that I don't know enough to just find what I want and buy it. I don't want buy based on price. I want to buy based on performance and features with price only used to separate two items of equal functionality. My goal for this project is...

Is the only place connecting the power supply (power) to the radio the wire coming out the back? i.e. If I unplug the internal power supply, but leave the two item connected, it will not pull power or effect the radio? I am thinking I could run an external battery while leaving the...

That is a very good question and I don't have an answer. I probably need to start a new thread on that subject after I do a little more reading. At this point can you recommend one or two auto tuners, and a couple manual tuners to be used with FT-897D. This is not for a permanent location...

Talk to me about Manual vs Auto antenna tuners. I know nothing.

What’s the deal? You are not selling any of those “never shot” dropped once AKs, or unexploded munitions? :D :lol: Thanks for serving. Freedom isn’t free.

And I am using encryption. :ohmy:
