Comet 24 should fit.
Dumb question. Has anyone found a small dual band antennae
That will fit ? Like a miracle baby etc. When I was at ham radio outlet and tried to screw a regular diamond antenna (the small one) into the radio it bumped into side of the GPS it wouldn't go flush with the radio.
I've been using this radio extensively for quite some time now. My conclusion is that this radio does everything it is designed to do extremely well. The D-STAR functionality of this radio is second to none and it should take the complexity out of the protocol. The receiver of the little radio is fantastic and I never experience any intermod problems. The GPS has all of the functionality you would want, including the ability to output the data stream to PC apps. Programming the radio is a breeze using the SD-Card, as is copying saved audio recordings. Other than the price and the cost of Icom accessories, the only fault I can find with this radio is that the waterproofing causes the TX analog audio to be slightly muffled. Actually I don't really get that many complaints about it.
In my opinion, this radio is a keeper and even though the price is a little steep, if you have D-STAR in your area, it's worth purchasing when you consider the GPS and SD-Card functionality.
I really like this radio.
Just a quick follow-up on this review: I continue to use this radio and it has become my favorite handy talkie. I especially like the quick, 3 hour battery charge time. The radio is really rugged and the waterproofing is hard to beat. Using D-Star on this radio is as easy as can be, especially with the included software and SD-Card.
It's still a keeper for me.
Hi Moleculo, thank you for your sharing, have your tried the NMEA Streaming directly to Garmin Handheld device? what i want to do is display all stations in offline map On Garmin Devices, I have bought Garmin USB to Serial Cable, don't know whether I can use the Official USB data cable to connect Garmin Cable to the HandHeld device, please share your experience if you done these testing before, thank you
Another thing is about the output power, why the power output on your radio never does reach a full 5 watts? how to fix it?
