    Worked J28NC on 17 RTTY

    Oh man do I love my Flex-5000! Frequently I just monitor areas like the RTTY portions of bands and see who is calling CQ. On 3/30 I got very lucky as J28NC (Djibouti) was calling and no one was coming back to him. Took me a few tries but I got him as did a few others after me. Zack N8FNR

    My tale of woe

    Fall of 2012 has not been a good time in my shack. First I had to send in my Flex-5000 rig as the 2nd receiver was not working. Now I have a bad hum when TXing on SSB that I cannot isolate after I hooked everything back up. And it is not coming from the headphones as I have a second set and...

    might be picking up a used ft-2900r... questions

    Programming software for the FT-2900 The easiest way to program this rig is to get the software for it from RT Systems. I have software from them for my FT-88000 and TH-D71a. It works great and is well worth the price when you start adding repeaters in the rig. Saves a LOT of button pushing. If...

    Kenwood TM-281A or Yaesu FT-2900R

    What I did was program all 2/440 repeaters for a 35 mile radius around my QTH (a northern suburb of Detroit) so that I can use any repeaters if I am driving around the area. Using the software is simple enough that it does not take long to do. And I can just let the rig scan to listen to anyone...

    Kenwood TM-281A or Yaesu FT-2900R

    I have about 400 memories programmmed in my TH-D72a and FT-8800. The first 100 are local repeaters. The rest are railroads, marine, ham satellites etc. And I find that it really helps a lot to name everything. That way I don't have to remember which memory is for anything. I use RT Systems...

    Kenwood TM-281A or Yaesu FT-2900R

    If you like to name memories the TM-281A only has 100 memories instead of the 200 if you just have it display the frequency. See Kenwood TM-281A Mobile Transceiver TM281. I remember reading the review of the rig in QST and found it weird that Kenwood would do this with a modern rig. The...
