And computer expo?

Surprised the ham part still gets top billing. They had one here recently that was billed as a computer expo, and then somewhere in the body of the ad it mentioned "some ham stuff too".

The 8800 does a excellent job at crossbanding - only reason I got one a few years ago :mjban:



I'm 99% that's why I got one for $20, it was used to crossband a little to much and burnt up :anus:

If you're going to crossband with more than a 20% duty cycle, strap another fan on the heatsink. I ...

3 X FT8800
857D
FT60
VX-7
FT2800M (used as 24/7/365 packet radio)

I'll rap on my head a few times (knock on wood), but they are all over 2 years old now and still going strong.

I do also have a few other radios that are no longer made anymore. Namely 3 X HTX-202 and one HTX-404 :)

I'm sorry to ...

Maybe the lesbos and the hamfest can find a place together for Labor Day? :baby:


Naw, most of the people attending hamfests are not tolerant of others <cough> no-coders <cough> :bnypancake:

YL seems to override No-Code.

Till the women won't pay the old men trying to hit on them any attention ...

Thats happening everywhere though, I'm sure.

Budgets are cut and they expect everyone to take less for more cost.

I think a lot of hamfests will be going away in the next few years because of the costs alone.

Yeah they have chat servers that are part of BBS software. There is one around here somewhere too.

You can send pictures over packet, but unless they are small, its going to take quite a while to relay them at 1200bps. Maybe in the olden days it would work, but the average digital camera pumps out ...

I do that already. Its called packet radio.

1200 BPS FTW!


Too bad you're not sending pictures with that :baby:



I've never actually used packet, should learn it someday as some of the ARES types still actually use it for stuff. Can it be configured in a real time chat window?

To ...

No, its old and text only.

Which makes it great :)

I still shudder sometimes when I think about how bad IRC networks are now. I remember the amount of crud people would try to send you 5 years ago. When I only had a 200k DSL connection.

Sitting on this cable connection I have now, I still wouldn ...

I do that already. Its called packet radio.

1200 BPS FTW!

Nobody. Till everyone who paid thousands prove it works for data and voice, and the government or Cell companies get wind of it.

Then we will be told to move on :)

One of these:

Plus 2 Astro radios of whatever flavor make a cheap P25 repeater?

I know the audio will be a bit off, but what other problems might coem about?

You want directional antennas on the repeater?

Perhaps the repeater is in California, on 440, near ...

I have one though I only use the HF side for monitoring (I'm a tech, you see).

SSB on it works great for 6, 2, and 440.

The menus aren't really too bad-though I do use Ham Radio Deluxe also which simplifies the radio quite nicely.

But I'm used to Yaesu's fun menu systems because most of my radios ...

I think the answer to this question is simple.

Apply the following rule:

In the spirit of Amateur Radio, can the conversation, in whatever format, be monitored simply by purchasing a radio (and modem, if a digital mode) and tuning to said frequency to hear said conversation?

If not (ie, you need ...

The females seem to like the A77 control head, because you get ate (8) more.

Q: Do you have any keyloader cables for sale. I'm making a hat, and it's the only thing I found for making sideburns that hang just right. I'll pay extra if they come with nipple-clips !! May-18-07

Jerseygirl?

The same reason people have YL's operate on Field day because they seem to attract QSOs like honey does flies?

There will also be the airing of grievances.

Aw GOD, can't we just stop the goddang Code vs. No Code debates already?!?

If all of their military comms are in the open......
