Mike you are exactly right.

Any "Digital" encoding or modification of our signal, unless generally accepted by the community and unless there is either equipment available or a generalized specification, is technically "Obscuring the meaning of the message" and is a no no.

This may appear to ...

Oh and I have TX'd encrypted on amateur band... However.

Every 10 minutes I turn it off and state

"This is (insert call here) transmitting with IMBE using key 1234567890"

That makes it legal here.

Just because you can't listen doesn't make it encrypted. I can't understand CW to save my life, but ...

I use encryption, ... So do many others here. Some of us use it on Ham Bands, some don't.

There... I answered the orig question.

Someone asked me once "But what if you get caught?"

The response someone standing near by said was

"Well, that might be difficult if i'm using a portable, and ...

I just tell them my XTS has a Penetrator and the panties come off... it's NIIIIIICE....

Looks like Yaesu has released something quite cool... the FTM-10R...

for me it's important because it's RUGGED, and waterproof (the head) and for me doing off road and Jeep, I need something that can take the elements a bit...

Any thoughts?

I've had this argument more times than I can count here in Toronto.

I just tell them to go away and stop interfearing with my conversation -- which is infact illegal. They have made their point, now move on, if it bothers you -- file a complaint with Industry Canada. When the 1 inspector for all of ...

I think we discussed this before, i've had the same trick working on both my XTS3K and the Astro Spectra before with the smartzone trick... On VHF it works -- and never transmits.. I had a bird meter connected to both radios (I think it was a 5W slug) once to prove neither were transmitting. Full ...

I dunno what was happeneing but let's not let it start again guys..

Let's not lose the resource you have....

And on that note... RoF -- great work on the latest guide my friend... I was quite impressed.

This is gonna be the best Astro guide since.... Well..

Ok someone make a Mikey joke, I can't think of one.

RoF know's his stuff from what i've seen.

All technical stuff aside, and because i'm not reading ALL of that.

Astro Radio's sound a 1000 times better on ANALOG than regular analog radios do.

Oh and that's a MEAN OPINION -- which at the end of the day is all that really matters.

In the Radio ...

you just happen to have posted this here, I'm a CCVP / IPTT / CVOICE certified. Drop me a PM and we can chat.

The E/M VIC won't do Caller ID... You need a T1 integration between the Definity and the router. So from a hardware perspective you will need an NM-HDV and a WIC-1MFT-T1 or similar, and at ...

It's not that simple... I know very little about D-STAR, and how it's modulated and what the waveforms look like, how it deviates, how the receivers are tuned...

It's quite possible it won't work.

No reason why it wouldn't once you adjusted the deviation properly.

The question is... Will the settings optimized for IMBE / P25 also work to pass the D-STAR as well...

I had to bow out.

Sounds like it was a drag anyway.

I'm there.

I have a free seat in the Jeep from Toronto... if anyone needs a lift -- drop a pm.

Awesome news Seth! I was waiting for someone to get their hands on it and let us know A) if it worked and B) what they thought.

Can't wait till the aftermarket for those starts to hit.

They still like $3K per radio?

I'll probably be in for this...

Anyone need a ride from Toronto?

Or you can just buy their P25 version.

Havn't found decent pricing on it yet thou.

OH and VHF.

Looking for a Astro Spectra W4 codeplug.. Flashcode must have IMBE, Trunking, Conventional, Multikey at a minimum... Ususal stuff.. Radio i'm fixing for a friend only has conventional and IMBE and that's it..

Well, had my first major QSO on P25 Thursday... While driving through Barrie, ON, used the VE3XF repeater to have a 20 minute chat with VE3XF himself and a fellow amateur (sorry forget your call dude) but it was great.

Loved every second, audio quality was superb.

You didn't miss much dude.. IT was press dismal

Use photos as you see fit sir...

Ok Whacktaular pics!!!

Ok the story with this moron is, he tries to point me to a space that's too small, so i ignore him and park beside ...

Nope.

Richard do you have a DES-XL module? If so see if you can get N3JFW to load the key we are using -- contact CODE3 for it.

This is the problem, one person says 21/22 and one says 20/21

Wish I could find a pinout somewhere, if I make that mistake it's going to be expensive.

Ok so the answer is -- yes I can do it?

so the next question is -- how?

When we start talking about "shorting" things... i'd rather be sure.

and it's a W9

I've got my Astro Spectra installed, i'd like to be able to bring hte drawer inside to program -- sans the head...

I hear it's possible but need a sure answer on how to trick it to power up (instead of bricking)

Thoughts?

Looking for a 110W Astro Spectra Codeplug W9 setup for DOS RSS, Gotta get rid of this CPS garbage. Let me know which version of RSS it's from too..

Thanks!

Wish I could make it.... Unfortunatly the Jeep is in getting a lift that day....

Neither can Inverted IMBE
