    Icom IC-7610 and RT Systems

    I know this is an Old post but I was told that the 7610 doesn’t have a tone board for 6 & 10 meter repeaters? I am purchasing a New 7610 this week and I can’t find any information about this? I lost my ICOM 7700 to a lightning strike 5 weeks ago and I was going to purchase another one or my...

    That one will work just fine.

    WM-1 meter

    All are 12 volts and only one is original unless someone cut the wall wart Off of the other two or added a wall wart to one of them.

    WM-1 meter

    Depends upon the version you have. I own Three of them & one has a Negative center & the other two are Positive center. I can't tell the difference just looking at the meters so I don't mix up the power cables & I have the rear of the meters market as to what plugs they take.

    WM-1 meter

    I own Three of the WM-1 meters. Calibrate them & they stay calibrated. I have been using them for 20 years or more & for HF it's my Go To wattmeter. It's only good for 100 watts on 6 meters or I'd use one there as well. The Black Face model is the original model & the rest were white faced.

    Starter HAM setup?

    I'm guessing you are talking about Goob-WW4US in Green Cove Springs,Florida? He's great with them but we live 45 miles apart & I am not driving over there every few days for repairs. He's a long time friend.

    Starter HAM setup?

    I only own ICOM gear these days. I am not a fan of any brand made in the USA. I'm going to stick with what has served me well over time. I don't want any that don't have a band scope for HF/6 meters built into the radio itself & that has a touch screen. I have had terrible service from Yaesu...

    How much does your station weigh?

    Well my current setup still weighs the same but it's all Smoked due to a random Lightning Strike two weeks ago.It took out my ICOM 7700,ICOM 9100,ICOM PW-1 & my TYT TH-9000 & my Astron RS-70M power supply & several smaller power supplies,my microphone control unit,my Yaesu G-800SDX Rotor,& one...

    Starter HAM setup?

    I Had Three Yaesu FT-101 stations & every time I tried using them they would have an issue.All had been recapped & had a new final tube but they were a constant problem.My local Tech passed away so I had no one near me that could work on them every few days.I Sold them all & I don't miss the...

    Coax cable ?

    Not so.Condensation will still allow moisture into the pipe I believe.Humidity is a beast here in Florida and it does.

    IT'S FUNNY HOW THINGS WORK OUT SOMETIMES

    We get South America most every day here in North Florida so it's very possible we could work there with little effort. Congratulations on the tower.

    How much does your station weigh?

    In the shipping box it weighs 77 lbs according to the label on the outside shipping box & that's just the ICOM 7700. I believe the radio weighs 66 lbs itself but I'm not sure if that includes the Big handles that I also have installed because they look COOL & they came with it. The weight of the...

    Can any 2m/70cm antenna be tuned to GMRS 462MHz?

    My Diamond V2000a is resonant on GMRS & has far better gain than my GMRS Base antenna. I have not gotten the V2000a back in the air after changing out the coax & repainting the antenna but I have no doubt that it will work far better than the little GMRS Base antenna since it has three times the...

    OUCH. You may never over that one in just One Lifetime. That's like having Brandon & Cameltoe as your neighbors. {:>(

    WTB am filter

    Look up Goob-WW4US on QRZ.com & email him. He rebuilds the FT-101 radios all of the time & he may have one or can lead you to one. He's a great guy & knows those radios inside & out with his eyes closed. Clayton W4KVW

    Any other hobbies you enjoy?

    LYNYRD SKYNYRD did not have their names on the event shirt because they didn’t make any money from them so you had to buy one of their shirts if you wanted something with their name on it.

    6 Meters is OPEN

    Funny thing about 6 meters is that Lee-KZ4RR & I live about 30 miles apart & we have chatted many many times over the years & we never met face to face until we were both at Dayton Hamvention in 2013. We traveled that far to actually meet face to face. I met several others with the 6 meter crowd...

    Besides being very active on Amateur Radio I am a Performer/Solo Vocalist & I perform Classic Country Music & Traditional Southern Gospel Music. I also Love fishing for Largemouth Bass when my health allows it. I find that I'm most relaxed when I'm on stage performing & the larger the crowd the...
