Yeah, for sure, I've got a compulsive "buy a new radio" thing going on here. I bought a Yaesu 991A a few years ago - just to try something new. I've had a FT-897 for years and liked it very much. I figured I'd like the 991A even more better. Sadly, I never grew to love that radio. It's very...

Spent more than I wanted to for the hardware - about $500, but selected the 50 gigs for $50/month plan. I can turn it on and off if needed but at $50 I’ll probably just keep it on unless I get stupid with consumption. My primary purpose was to bring the internet with me when I’m doing ham radio...

I’ve watched a lot of POTA videos and I see guys with really modest equipment/antennas setting up and, shazam, dozens of contacts in an hour or two. Yeah, that’s not happening for me. I’ve tried to activate a couple of parks four or five times and while I’ve made contacts, I’m definitely the...

I am 100% on of those guys that said I was never gonna learn code. I’ve tried the portable code players in the past, used some very basic online tools, and it all went in one ear and out the other. Now that I don’t *need* to pass a code test to get a license, I found myself poking around on...

Very nice.

Dan, before you and others continue, first check out three websites that have most of the information for your spreadsheet idea- Hey What;s That- https://www.heywhatsthat.com (ADD YOUR NEW PANARAMA COORDINATES FOT IT AND THE FOLLOWING) , Rainscatter- https://rainscatter.com/ and the...

Believe me, there are folks that get paid a lot of money to figure this stuff out... I'm basically doing it on the back of a napkin (in Excel) and will have to learn a bit once the radio gets here. Here's a handy spreadsheet that I put together to help me with the azimuth and change (+/-) in...

I bought an AnyTone 878 a few weeks ago, mostly just to play with it and see how I liked it. There’s a lot to like with the idea of using a digital radio to access a multitude of talk groups. An added benefit is the SharkRF Open Spot a bought a few months ago works with the DMR radios - either...

Product Discontinued The IP3 performance of a radio can be improved by sacrificing sensitivity, but Icom considers this a poor choice. To achieve REAL high-performance, Icom reviewed all of the analog receiver circuitry. The IC-7700 employs mechanical relay BPF switching, a digitally tuned...
