I kind of like the rules as they are now. I know there are still Novices and Tech's that have been the same license class their whole life, but I think the current privileges give a Tech enough of a taste of HF to be an incentive to upgrade. Adding more base level privileges just discourages...

You oughta know, Buddy! ;) 73, Brett

Too busy talking about jerk chicken! lol Thanks for upgrading Moleculo. :) 73, Brett

They named that hut after me. 73, Brett

Don't talk on both rigs at the same time. ;) 73, Brett

Got that line from John Pinette... always cracked me up with this bit! 73, Brett

Time to bust out the Speedo and flip-flops. :eek: Have fun! 73, Brett

5024Yeah, the Yaesu ATAS 120A went a floppin' while I was traveling at 70 mph today on the freeway. Hey! What was that thump!?! No fun. At least the antenna and coax held until I could pull over. I am stuck with this type of mount due to this being a work car that is on a fleet/lease...

I put an HC-5 in the stock President hand mic housing, and it didn't have enough gain to modulate the radio well. It sounded fine, but didn't have enough oomph to get full output from the rig. Might work better with an amplified mic housing, but I ended up just going with a stock mobile D104...

Yes, and another reason I am not an accountant. :ROFLMAO: 73, Brett

Ah, I remember the time I ran my FT-101E into a neat little low drive two pill base amp when I changed my rig via a switch by mistake. Hey! What's that smell!?! 73, Brett

There is a program for Android called Pocket RXTX that you can connect to the Yaesu rigs, either via USB or bluetooth. I am playing with the updated version for the 819, which still has some details to work out. I am sure Dan will update the program for the new FT-818 as well. You can use it...

Part of the perceived problem with the FT- 891. The bigger the display, the more juice it draws. Not so great for portable, but I love mine for mobile. 73, Brett

Yeah, but you can carry a Baofeng for that. 73, Brett

Looks pretty cool for portability. 73, Brett

Hey just to be clear, not trying to steal any thunder from Mudfoot on the Windows program. I will be downloading it as well. As an Android alternative, this ain't bad. 73, Brett

I may not have time to check this out for a few days... anyone else want to give it a whirl? On edit to be clear, this is the Pocket rx/tx android program by Dan Toma. It is on Google Play. 73, Brett

Hello Brett, FT891 config is now in the central repository, based on FT-450 config. Not all functions are checked/adapted, so please check for the moment the following: - set frequency - set mode - set output power Some other commands may work too. Please send me your feedback.

I emailed the author of that program yesterday and he added some basic controls for the FT-891 today. He is asking for feedback from users. Nice android based alternative! 73, Brett

In HOA neighborhoods, those big tv antennas are in people's attics. I know mine is! Might be worth asking people if they want to get rid of them. 73, Brett
