Just to let people know I sent my radio in for warranty and found out that I am an idiot. The problem wasn't with the Bluetooth module. The issue with the APRS was that the modem will only work on the B band and like a moron I had it set on the A band:headbang. I'm sure that the tech that was...

At least in BC, Canada, an exemption has been given for: "Two way radios are ½ duplex communication devices used principally for commercial purposes and by amateur radio operators licensed through Industry Canada under the Radiocommunication Act (Canada). The devices consist of a...

Satellites use an uplink (VHF TX) and an downlink (UHF RX). For example, AO-51 Uplink: 145.920 MHz FM and Downlink: 435.300 MHz FM. :)

One more question. Has anyone used the MFJ-993B IntelliTuner Automatic Tuner? It is in the same price range as the LDG 200pro. I am just wondering if it might be a good choice as well? Which is a better unit? They both have similar reviews on eham. Thanks.

Well I have to say that if the price is under $200 then I will pick up one of these and use it in the shack that I'm setting up. I was originally looking at the Yaesu 8800 but with this at half the price, it's a complete no-brainer. If it's anything like the Wouxun handhelds that people have...

What a jerk! Sorry to hear about all your troubles with that jerk. I guess chalk that up as a crappy learning experience.:angry: Take it easy Bioman. Cheers

I have read the reviews on eham, I just wanted to know what users on this forum thought about it. :) Thanks. How accurate is the SWR meter on the 200pro?

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the LDG 200Pro antenna tuner was any good. I am going to be connecting it to an ICOM 746Pro radio and a Chameleon dipole antenna. With using the LDG 200Pro should I also have an SWR meter as well? If so can someone recommend a meter that does not cost...

Yes it does run on Windows 7. I have it running on my laptop and desktop with no problems.:thumbup1:

Does the RT Systems cable work? Also how does the software compare to the RT Systems version (Ease of use, General layout, Manual)? I just looked at the G4HFQ website and one feature I really like is to be able to transfer files between different radio versions. My club has a default load...

That sounds cool.:thumbup: Can't wait for your review. When do you get it?

Seeing as though you have been having Rigblaster issues have you ever considered getting a device from RigExpert? they work right out-of-the-box. One USB cable to the computer and one adapter cable to your radio. You can make your own cable or purchase one from them. Here is the compatibility...

how did you manage to break the CV – I port? Is it a week point on the radio? I am considering picking up a IC 7000 sometime in the future and just want to know if there are any issues to look out for on the radio.

That look AWESOME!!!:thumbup: I like the craftsmanship of the work. I wish I had something like that.

I don't have use for a smart phone either. I use a Motorola KRZR Pay as You Go phone and it does what I need. Make calls and voicemail and I am good to go. I have sent 2 text messages in my life. I laugh at people the think that they need to be that connected all the time. Slow down people...

TYPE 1,2,3 are there so you can save 3 different sets of parameters. It makes it easy to switch without changing everything (Eg. Type 1 set for Highway, Type 2 set for City, Type 3 set for Parking Lot). You can't harm the radio with different settings. It sounds like you have the Beacon...

Here are my APRS settings: APRS Moden: ON, APRS Mute: OFF (just turn volume on left side all the way down), Beacon TX: SMART, Smart Beacon Type: Type 3, Low Speed 3 mph, High Speed: 20 mph, Slow Rate: 3 min, Fast Rate: 30 sec, Turn Angle: 6 deg, Turn Slope: 26, Turn Time: 15. These settings...

I probably already know the answer to this question but here it goes. I performed the Extended TX mod to my VX-8DR a few weeks ago. I thought everything was ok with the radio. At the time of the mod I had not checked the APRS functions. The radio TX and RX on all bands works fine. My issue...

You could look at a: CHAMELEON V12 HF/VHF/UHF Multiband Antenna™ Covers 6m, 10m, 11m (Citizens Band), 12m, 15m, 17m, 20m, 30m, 40m, 60m & 80m, USAF MARS/CAP Frequencies + 2M/1.25M/70cm (144MHz – 500MHz) Specifications: Size: Overall length approx. 12'.6" Frequency Range...

That is the Enhanced Mode. Turn radio off, Press and hold the button to the left of the power button while turning the radio on. It is on page 13 of the FTM-350 operating manual.
