QRP? Why, I was thinking just the opposite because of the internal batteries?

Hmm, since I am using a VX-8R with bluetooth, am I already cross band repeating? 2.4 GHz for bluetooth :huh:

My dumb question of the day. :headbang What is the difference between the Yaesu FT-897D and Yaesu FT-857D? I can not find where they are lined up head to head. Thanks

Hope you get well soon. BTW, who is the guy in your avatar?

According to the Gov. briefing I attended, flu is usually transferred by contact with the virus. The virus can live on surfaces for a considerable time. 1. I sneeze cough into my hands. Then type on your keyboard. You type on your keyboard. Then you wipe your eyes. 2. It can also be...

That is not my meaning. What I am saying is that there is enough differences genetically. That getting one, does not mean you have immunity from the others. But since we are on the bus scenario, you do look both ways before crossing the street? So pay attention to your surrounding when...

I have no idea what you are talking about. Remember Swine flu is still there. You could get it and regular and H1N1 and .... this year.

I was scared to click on this, but ...

Actually no. It is genetics.

I plan on going back to the BWCA, but most people don't know the area so I am trying to pick a better, harder to communicate from situation. SAT phone is great if you want to spend the money on it. I may spend the money the next time I go to the BWCA, or I might just accept the risk of...

True, and I will discuss specfic radios in a different thread. Right now I am just curious about the 10M band with a portable rig and a simple mobile antenna. Then again, if someone wants to sell a FT-897...:whistle:

Let me put is a different way. Would you trust 10M for emergency communications, say AK, or from deep in a valley? Or do you need to go to a different range of Freqs? If I can trust 10M for emergency communications, I could get a Yaesu FT-8900R. If I can't, I would need a radio like a...

I am not sure where this goes, so I will place it here. What distance can I achieve with a 10M rig? Everything I currently have is line of sight more or less (6M, 2M, 222, 440). Can I go over hill and dale like other HF with 10M or is it line of sight more or less? Thanks

Flu in general is an issue. It is still in the top ten killers in the USA. This year is just predicted to be worse. BTW, Swine flu is not the same as H1N1.

Please verify that the Yaesu 817, 857, 897 do not have this capability.

Thank you & Is there any reason why this couldn't be setup be setup as 2M and 2M or 2M and 6M or 2M and HF or 440 and HF or 440 and 6M? I assume that the 440 band allows less distance? If I understand you correctly there is no legal way to setup a temporary repeater for a...

I considered following his instructions, but figured if I wanted to steal large sums of money, I need to park in employee area. I mean just look at AIG. :blink: :ohmy: No seriously, a little thing called ethics has kept me poor, but at least I don't have to stay at the gray bar motel...

Very well put, and if you fail many time they will help explain what you don't understand and have an alternative test you can take the same day for free. I once had a bank manager explain how I could rob his bank and get away with it. I have to say it gave me the creeps.

From a risk management approach, I think you are accepting a risk which you shouldn't. The test is cheap and easy. The penalty for getting caught is high.

Yes on 1 I don't know on 2. (I am still waiting on Universal Radio to send me my GPS part. I have the conversion part.) BTW, I am not sure I made the right decision, not getting the MIC. It all depends on how you will be using it.
