  1. Just reading the manual for the Yaesu FT-60R has convinced me to buy it. I originally thought it’d be pretty limited solely because it doesn’t have an LCD screen, but literally the only thing that my Baofeng AR-5RM does better is have twice the character limit for channel names. #hamradio #amateurradio #yaesu #baofeng

  2. Just added the new Lynovation CTR2-Quad to my store shop.g7ufo.radio/s/d1fd1a if you're looking for to pick one of these up. I build and ship these from the UK.

    This can act as a midi controller so any SDR software which accepts midi can be used with the CTR2-Uno, Duo or Quad, communicating via USB or Bluetooth. #icom #yaesu #kenwood #elecraft

    If you have a #flexradio it can alternatively connect to the radio directly via WiFi.

  3. Super local group QSO this evening from a close summit.

    QSO Nord Ardèche every Thursday at 18:00 (CET) on 145.5375 MHz FM

    I used a good old #Yaesu FT-290Rii and its 25W amp with a basic homemade Ground Plane.

    #2m

  4. Yesterday I climbed on top of the "Vorderer Langenberg" in the #Pfälzerwald (#Palatinate Forest) here in #Germany for a combined #SOTA #POTA #WWFF activation. I didn't expect much traffic around noon, but then ended up having a pile-up so high, I had to apply priorisation techniques to get everybody through 😵‍💫

    I only stopped after 88 QSOs in 90 minutes because I was planning to activate more parks in France later that day.

  5. After the ham event at the weekend, I decided to make a few little upgrades. Today, I received a USB-C charging battery and TWAYRDIO RH 660S for my Baofeng UV-5R. I’ve also got a SignalStick en route. Bought BNC adapters for it all too.

    Then in a couple of weeks we’re driving past a Ham Radio Outlet and I’m hoping to pick up a Yaesu FT-5DR.

  9. @dl2sba A 40-10m EndFed antenna with a 49:1 impedance transformer and a ~2 meter counterpoise, 5 meters of H-155 as the antenna feed cable, a #Yaesu FT-891 (mostly running at 40 watts but I dialed it up to 100 when necessary), and 3 12V/6Ah #Eremit LiFePo4 batteries.

    I didn't expect the EndFed to do this well at such a low height and with all the obstructions around it. Propagation can be a very strange thing.

  10. @pa8mm Those are from German company #Eremit. They are rated 12.8V / 6Ah / 76.8Wh and are some of the very few on the market that are rated for up to 18A of power draw in such a small form factor. Most other #LiFePo4 batteries have management systems that shut down long before that, making them unsuitable for my #Yaesu FT-891. It draws ~11A at 50 watts and ~15.5A at 100W.

  11. Today I made a joke commercial for my newly designed & printed EXTREME Ham Radio desktop accessory for the Ultimate Net Commander. The "UV-Commander", a #baofeng radio holder for all those extreme social nets discussing ham radio and antennas and bodily functions! #3dprinting #hamradio #uv5r #prepping #extremeweather Also fits #vx6r #yaesu and #ft5 #radio

  12. Great day SOTA-ing in South Wales today 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 the beautiful sunny weather meant easy mode for the SOTA winter bonus. Two summits for 19km walking and 16 points. Plenty of activity on 70cms and 20m.

  13. Did a roadtrip with my mobile #aprs digipeter ( #ftm500 #yaesu) today with my #uvpro monitoring with #aprsfi To my phone. Was about a 4.5 hour drive. Pretty interesting to see all the stations! It was also cool I could monitor on my FTM-500 and the UV-Pro at the same time. #photo #photography #amateurradio #hamradio #packetradio #baofeng #btech

  14. Leider etwas enttäuschende Talk-Aufzeichnung über #AndroidAuto aus dem #HackerHotel (insbesondere weil der Ton der Fragen in der Q&A-Session nicht im Stream zu hören ist):

    "Android Auto (Flitsmeister)"
    media.ccc.de/v/2025-205-androi

    Die #HomeAssistant-Integration sollte ich mir mal genauer anschauen, vielleicht kann man darüber einen #Amateurfunk-#Transceiver über die #HeadUnit des Autos fernsteuern.

    Ansonsten scheint Android Auto aus Sicherheitsgründen (Vermeidung von Ablenkung des Fahrers) so zugenagelt zu sein, dass #HamRadio-Anwendungen eher durch's Raster fallen, da nur offizielle App-Store-Apps die Android-Auto-Funktionen nutzen dürfen und dafür nur eine recht enge Liste an App-Typen zugelassen wird. Wobei man Funkgeräte-Fernsteuerung vielleicht noch als IoT verargumentieren kann...

    Das Beste wäre, #Yaesu, #Kenwood, #Icom & Co würden sich des Themas mit offiziellen Apps annehmen um den veränderten Bedingungen in modernen Autos Rechnung zu tragen.

  15. Icy and windy Summits on the Air activation of Fan Gyhirych earlier. Didn’t see anyone else on the hills all day. Bit too fresh to setup a dipole for HF this time but continuing to have success with 70cms.

  16. If you wanna do #HamRadio / #AmateurRadio at the same while doing #WarDrive things you need to filter out the low 2m/70cm (140/440mhz) freq from blowing up the WarDrive rig. #WiFi #Wigle #Yaesu #2m #70cm

    The Yaesu #FTM500 is 50W of TX power.

    It’s still a risk.

    But we shall see how it all does.

  17. @bolderbekah @elmiller0330 @ai6yr
    Traveling with my #yaesu #ht #FT5 #HamRadio. bag was pulled off security conveyor belt and opened.
    #TSA agent pulls out my #magnetic mount, 1/4 wave, dual band #2m / #70cm #antenna with the #coax wound around the base.
    TSA agent: “what’s this?”
    Me: “an antenna”
    TSA agent to the agent running the X-ray: “it’s an antenna!”
    I stuff it back in my bag and head to my gate. This is the first and only time this has happened.

  18. I wonder how this #eremit #18650 battery pack will hold up in my #yaesu #ft817.
    The body cover is 3D printed.
    This pack has an integrated charger cicuit I could just bridge D1084 on the board to get around the outdated timered fix current NiMH charger.
    I hope I did not mess up anywhere.

  19. Today I have mostly been tearing what’s left of my hair out, trying to configure my ZumSpot gateway so my #DMR handset can connect through to #C4FM #Yaesu #SystemFusion. Documentation seems patchy or has fallen to bit rot. Do you know of a clear guide? #HamRadio

  20. Many spaces in #AmateurRadio such as #ARRL #Yaesu #WSJT-X either directly or indirectly tell #blind and #disabled #HamRadio ops every day that we just don't belong and we don't count through their ongoing and flagrant unwillingness to consider implementing even the most basic concepts of #inclusive or #universal #design principles in any of their products, programs or services. Let's all agree that it is long past time for that to change! #accessibility #disability #a11y

  21. I've just updated my site to share my VHF digital hotspot setup with you all.

    Have you played around with digital VHF radio? What are you favorite talk groups?

  22. Man, I wish I had, you know, friends.

    Or at least friends who are close enough to me that I could use this feature, and who are actually into #HamRadio, and own a #Yaesu radio with the pager functionality. . .

    What would be extra super cool would be if you could have a function that would look for #C4FM traffic from a list of contacts, and leave a bell if it noticed anyone transmitting.

    Maybe that's a feature in pricier C4FM transceivers?

  23. It gets even better: You don't need to come to #Winterfest to leave with a brand new #Yaesu #FTDX10! Just get a raffle ticket, or even better, get 10!

    Tickets for entry and the raffle are available now.

  24. I sat on a #Xiegu #x6100 for the first time these days. It's crazy, with a little patience you can operate it just like that, without instructions. It's not an ingenious user interface, but simply much less confusing than anything #icom builds. Not to mention the bizarre menus of a #yaesu ;-) #hamradio #xiegu6100

  25. And now for the #radio related news parcel arrived today, early #humbug present a #Yaesu SRB-14Li & SCU-57 Wires-X kit for my #FT2DR, now I will be able to upgrade the #firmware and program channels into it with #Chirp, shame I have to dig out windows7 laptop to upgrade the firmware sigh.

  26. Took over week to get them as VK seller so slow to get them in the post. besides that I now have a couple proper TNC cables for the #Yaesu FT-7800 & FT-857D that going to be wired to RS-232 male plug to be used with my #Module17 modem board. The cable I prevously made to do the job, the minidin6 didn't fit in the socket properly on the FT-7800 and the outer plastic sleeve had to be pulled back.
