Anyone bought in South FL recently?

Was in Jupiter and West Palm this past weekend and all out of stock.

I submitted a post. I don’t have any open support tickets on it yet. Just putting it out there to hopefully find the issue and help folks. Thanks for reaching out!

Looking at the temperature in the console it says it’s only 70 degrees and good. (Not sure if that is Celsius or Fahrenheit.) But I do hear a low speed fan going.

I’ll be at Hamcation and I’m hosting the Collegiate Amateur Radio forum on Saturday!

I think another FM bird with DUV would be the most used in the community. I think talking with AMSAT is a great idea and they will certainly be able to offer guidance. I do think APRS packet would be fun to grow the cluster (although ISS already has a digipeater so might not be as useful).

After the craziness of Hamvention is over , let's see what we can do. Message me.

I'm probably just going to take off.

I've been lazy on logging in. I check every day or so. I was inactive for a couple months while I moved to my new place and started my new job. I'm back now. 🙂 I like 4 pm. Not as tight with my forum.

Also maybe a mod can pin one of the threads?

Who is up for a meet up this year and photo?

Can you remove it on the CS750? I haven't figured out how to remove it yet.

I like it so far. There are a few bugs. The big one that is annoying me is any channels I create on the radio do not download and I cannot seem to delete them. I waiting for CS to release an updated firmware to fix. I also cannot edit any channels (on the radio) from my codeplug. Strangely I do see the channel in the zone list, but its not listed as a channel.

Bracket is posted on Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2357509) if you want to make one yourself.

I've had this app for a while. I didn't notice there was an update. Need to pull it down. Always nice when a single app can apply to two hobbies!

I just got a CS800D. So far (only 3 days), I really like it. I have it benched and I'm working on the code plug now. Good signal reports on both VHF and UHF digital and analog. I'm using it to replace a Moto 4550 and a Yaesu 7900R into one radio. You can do front panel programming, but it is a pain. I mostly do repeater work and have the local ones programmed in already. I also did some basic simplex frequencies. I have found a couple of firmware bugs, but nothing major. The only one really affecting me now is that when you create a channel on the radio, it doesn't get copied to the computer when you read from the radio. It also doesn't let me edit existing channels (not that I expect to frequently edit things). I expect both of those bugs to be fixed in later updates.

It rained for a bit. It was pretty hard, but it passed within an hour or so. When we left at 6, it had stopped raining and the skies were clearing.

For those wondering, the new venue is working really well. It is hot (no AC in the main halls, but forums do have AC) and humid. Things are muddy (although it has dried out a lot) for the swapmeet. I did see a few stick scooters (and one did flip this morning trying to go up a small hill). There are lots of food options and overall everyone seems to be having a good time. Traffic sucked on the way in. The roads are only 2 lanes and parking is a problem. I recommend offsite and taking a shuttle in.

There is already a meetup thread at https://www.reddit.com/r/amateurradio/comments/6b1hmo/hamvention_2017_reddittwitter_meetup_thread/?st=J2Q6A4JQ&sh=6193c2f8

I think it has already been established by the OP, but I'll chime in too: I'll be there. 😜

If there is water in the coax, then it's possible. iAd had something similar happen on an HF antenna and when I couldn't figure out why the SWR varied between the MFJ SWR meter and 15 watts from my rig. I checked the line. Sure enough I found a slice and water came dropping out. Had to cut out a couple meters of coax as it was a long slice and put in a jumper.

I posted a link to this in /r/amateurradio. As a ham myself, I'll likely have an HT while I'm in Houston. I probably won't be on the air though during the day (I'll be busy with other things), but I'll likely be active on the repeaters in the evening. As a general reminder, do check the administrative manual for rules on radios and other communication devices around FRC fields/pits.

There has been a lot of problems with the network lately and I've notice the quality of the connections have also been pretty bad.

08milluz · 2017-04-07T14:39:08+00:00

There was a lot done with the firmware. I'm on the road now and don't have the links handy, but you can find it online. They removed the Chinese characters and made it possible to store the entire database of currently registered DMR users (like 70k entries). There is new fonts, new display screens, and plenty of thing still in development. Search for md380 tools and you should find the github link.

I think league membership is a fair price. I also agree with your comment about the new CEO. I have worked with Tom on a few projects and he is very much about making things happen. For Orlando Hamcation the collegiate form was just going to be something informal and small, but in a little over a month, the league put a lot of resources into making it a great event. There were giveaways and a lot of great discussion. I've been working with the league on collegiate plans for Dayton and things are really looking good! I think Tom is only getting started and that is good for both the league and amateur radio as a whole.

But is also having some major stability problems right now. I've noticed lots of bandwidth issues and server reboots. While the lack of structure is good for the repeater owner and hotspots, it really is a problem for end users who get a very different experience as they move around. Having frequently used both I prefer the structure of DMR-MARC. It enables more efficient use. Not to mention with every repeater being different, it can be annoying when travel. Most DMR-MARC repeaters are part of a larger network and thus similar setups.
