I know how to do it and it is displayed on my ham radio deluxe software but my problem is keeping up with nets. Sometimes if I go to a website stating start times in UTC, I have trouble figuring out what time it is in my time zone! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Whats the simplest way to tell UTC time? I live in Alabama so do I just subtract six hours from the UTC time? I'm confused...

I talk 11, 12 and 15 easily on mine with my manual tuner. I never cut or adjusted anything. Buy a cheap mfj manual tuner and use it for the ham bands that way... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What are some typical frequencies that you guys keep stored in your memory banks? I have things such as the call frequencies for 10 meters and other bands. I have most of the SSTV and PSK frequencies for the different bands and certain frequencies for nets that I might check into....

Monitoring this afternoon. I have a separate cb radio for that. Plus, I don't have that radio modded to transmit on those frequencies anyway... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yaesu - 897 HamPros NS-508 Desk Mic MFJ-971 Antenna Tuner

Can you guys hear this? I tried the other day but had no luck. I'm in central Alabama and it was around 4:00 in the afternoon. I didn't know if it was harder to hear during those times or not... Any time of day that it's easier to pick up?

I have been looking at the TS-2000 again but there are only two on eBay that I have found. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a Yaesu 897 that I run as a base station and it works really well. My only dislikes is that the 897 only has one HF antenna port and one VHF antenna port. So, because of that, I have to use an antenna switch for HF to switch between my Antron and the G5RV. It's not that big of a deal...

I found a site the other day that basically listed all frequencies that are known to be used by different government entities. FEMA, Air force, Canadian government etc... I'm still pretty new to HF as I have only had my General for a couple of months now. But, I thought it would be cool to...

I don't understand it either... Not sure what it's saying but it is a digital female voice. I think it may really be HRD software doing it because I have had my laptop disconnected and used it for something other than radio and never heard the voice. I'll check the settings on HRD this weekend...

I have a weird problem... I use a yaesu 897 and ham radio deluxe software to run digital modes. I am using a dell latitude d620 laptop computer.... Everything works great except every so often a digital voice speaks on my computer and automatically keys up my radio for about 2 to 3...

Can someone tell me some good nets to check into on HF? Or where I can find an accurate list of nets online? I'm looking for nets on 10, 20, 40 and 80. I've found some by "accident" and checked in (maritime net, some other net based up north etc...) we also have an 80 meter AL net here daily...

LOL I have never purposely checked into that net but have somehow managed to check In on three different occasions. I always skim across it and hear someone so I give out my call and it ends up being the net... I need some suggestions for some good nets to look out for. Got any? Sent from my...

I agree! Like I said, not knocking on field day, I was just kind of taken back by the random email I got and I think it had something to do with field day but I wasn't sure... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have never participated in field day and I'm certainly not knocking on others that do, but I didn't realize that was going on this weekend. It was busy on the bands that Psk on 20 meters was completely jammed with folks. This guy was apparently participating with field day activities. I heard...

Haha I was consumed myself. He returned my reply and said that he was just venting. I just told him to go vent somewhere else. Oh well...

I received an email this morning from N7UIC (who I have never talked to before) and the email simply stated "Really SSTV on the ARRL Bulliten!?!?" First off, I would like to point out that "bulliten" is actually misspelt and I'm still not sure what the point of the email is as he has typed...

The wife will be gone next weekend and I thought about setting up the radio out on the patio (with a grill and beverages of course...) Is there any contests next Saturday? Or, is it ok to just start one yourself?
