#ft70 — Public Fediverse posts

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.

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.

#HamRadio #hamr

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
