Same deal here at the Jersey shore Tony, I have all the coax pulled except on the 2 meter radio since there's a Skywarn activation, but that's about to expire and the sun is peeking out as it's about to set. They're still calling for continued thunder storms, and rain through tomorrow, but I'm...

The 949C antenna tuner only has one 12 vdc connection for (I believe) the lamp.....however it may also be tapped for PEP readings....not really sure.... The Daiwa CH-801-HP uses 12 vdc for both the lamp and for PEP readings....(at least that's how I understand it to work)..... I passed on...

Mole, I believe the new version does PEP, they have a 12 vdc connection that's supposed to be for a meter lamp, and for doing PEP..... Cheapham.com has about the best price I've seen on new units at $137.95... I'm also tracking one on Flea Bay, but it'll most likely end at a price far too...

I'll go with that......:D

My understanding is that it's proprietary to the Japan Amateur Radio Club, and not any one business, corporation, or manufacturer, and because of that it slides under the part 97 rules concerning codes and cyphers. That part doesn't really concern me though, I'm really not diving into this...

Yes Qwazyone....it is the WR-300, my mistake. I don't believe the WR-100 has the S.A.M.E. technology, it's another one that goes off for everything... Don't know why I said 100, old age creeping up on me......:blushing:

:confused1:....you mean they're NOT supposed to look like that.....:scared:

Thanks for the feedback on this one guys, mucho appreciated.....:thumbup1: 295..... If I get a Daiwa meter, it would deffinitely be the better model CH-801-HP... Doc.... I ment mic gain, but you already knew that....didn't ya.....:D

Knowing the quality of MFJunk products, I wondered if perhaps the meter just wasn't reading properly at that frequency range, but when I tune up in CW mode, it does indicate that I'm reaching full power, it's when I switch to SSB that it indicates I'm only peaking out at 30 to 40 watts, and I...

If you are from South America or Europe, tune up on 14.300 Mhz because the long standing Intercon, and Maritime Mobile Service Net doesn't serve your particular part of the world. Or better yet, fire up your 1.5 Kw amp, and hold a roundtable with 5 of your closest neighbors on 14.298 Mhz, turn...

There's only 13 hours left Mole, you better get your bid in now before it's too late.......:D It makes you wonder what some people are thinking......:bored:

I have an older solid state Kenwood TS-130S, haven't really played much on 12, 15 or 17 meters, but on 20, 40, and 80 meters, with everything well in tune, and going by the meter on my MFJ-949C tuner, my out put will peak from 60 to 80 watts. As soon as I go to 10 meters, and I've checked this...

First off, painting them brown won't get you far, now if you paint them green / white / red....you can sell them to both the Mexicans and Eyetalians.....:tongue:

So far in my own researching, I found some information concerning the D-RATS software that is supposed to work with D-Star, mostly in the emcom field. Most everything I've found more or less tells you what D-Star can do, but it doesn't tell you how to do it.......:confused1:

Until now I haven't seen any real benefit to spending the extra money and investing in this D-Star digital mode of operation. It has been around this area for a while, and seems to be growing in popularity, but even at that, good old analog FM has got me to where I want or need to go.... Now...

Upper Sideband..... Like Mole said, I too have scanned that band many times now, and haven't heard a peep. Even spent some time calling out CQ with no takers. I have make one contact on 17m and two on 15m over the course of the last 6 months, but 12 has been dead..... 10 meters has been...

Can't say that I've experienced one of those auto ID'ers yet, but I always enjoy working, or just listening to a rare DX pile-up, and have some ignorant LID key up and repeat the suffix of his call sign 10 friggin times.... I forget the European station, but one night on 20 meters this guy...

It doesn't matter where you go in this country, you will always find a select group that will do most, if not all of those things listed. In my area "LID's" come in every age and social bracket, we have one guy that has been a ham so long Marconi himself could of been this guy's elmer, and...

Yup....no longer listed......

All Icom.... For an HF rig the IC-7600...all the features I'd even want or need, and not overly complicated. For an amp, the IC-PW1, solid state simplicity, and more than enough power. For UHF/VHF the IC-880H, fairly simple to use dual bander with the added feature of D-Star. For an HT the...
