Alinco Programming Error

I started messing with my Alinco codeplug. Now of course I can't get into my hot spot. All values look right. The radio kinda...reset.  The Brandmeister/hot spot still looks good. Had to take a break after hitting a wall. Will refresh, read more info. Then logically approach it again. 🙂  73 de KD8FTH

“Therein lies the problem.” Sheriff Clay says pulling handcuffs from his pocket.”This is just a little private use liquor, John” Bill Wade offers.”Your parole is very specific. No liquor making.

Final

The ship broken, slowly and surely sinks into the frigid waters of the north sea. As he is pulled under, the icy water filling his lungs, Samuel’s thoughts are of his visions. Knowing this time would come, for as long as he can remember. It proves to be as dramatic, painful, premature and as final […]

VHF/UHF Station

I have been enjoying using DMR again. I plan to setup on the TGIF DMR servers soon. That will require a new codeplug. I was able to order a dual band VHF/UHF mobile radio to play with. The AnyTone AT-778 UV. It provides 25 watts of power. And it is very affordable at around $125-132. Since I have decent repeater access in this area with just 5 watts, this should increase range a bit. The radio should arrive within the week. While, I don't expect Yaesu, Icom or Kenwood quality, reviews of the radio have been promising. Will follow up on this radio once I've used it. Thanks for reading. 73. de KD8FTH

DMR

I have recently located my DMR hotspot. Which uses the internet to link you to a digital amatuer radio network. This network consists of these internet nodes as well as digital rf repeater links. It makes contact globally effortless. Just one of the many useful, fun aspects of our hobby. 73 KD8FTH

Nice day

The weather is amazing. Warm, slight cool breeze. Plenty of rejuvinating sunshine. Molly and I have been out in it most of this morning. Blessings abound. Have a great day everyone.
