  1. Testing through #YSF parrot let me tune my radio and audio settings to make something that doesn't sound half bad. #HamRadio #hamr

    This is going out through a #digirig, to an #FT70, encoded to YSF, to a #Pistar, up through to parrot, and then back through that rigamarole.

  2. Attention #FT70 owners:

    This is your monthly reminder that, if you intend to use it for #PiStar / #MMDVM, you can just plug it in to power and take the battery out.

    Your battery will thank you.

    I have to forget and remember this at least once a month.

  3. I was running a series of #hamr tests this morning after some observations I made at the lake.

    I noticed that I was getting poor performance with a signal stick attached to the radio while using an external mic with my #Yaesu #ft70

    I posted my findings on my "hobby blog" (more of an open notebook):

    One weird thing is that I get the best SWR when I'm actively touching the SWR meter ( bridged the body of the radio with the meter's metal casing). 1/n
