REF seems pissed apparently the French version of the FCC didn't even notify them. What I haven't seen is whether this is a one-off or part of a move Region-wide or globally. I kind of doubt it - it'

I wouldn't worry about it. The bulk of mults on the lowest bands may move to JT cheat modes but is that really going to happen above 23 cm? I don't operate there (I have 1296 capability but antennas

The original TQSL software sucked. It was all re-written a few years ago, primarily by K1MU, and now (with occasional bumps) just works. The original online directions also sucked but they've been re

Asking anything on AMSAT-BB is ... well, you'll see ... You will always be 90 deg off on one band. This is even an issue on some of the LEOs where you need to flip the antenna 90 deg to maximize gain

FT8 split the RTTY list (which has been around since steam days) into two. The original list is dead and "rtty-digital" is not much better. Hint - more channels doesn't mean more good content. You'd

The manual posted seems to say that the FT-100D has both types, the Yaesu 8-pin (mini DIN, I assume) as well as the "standard" 6-pin mini-DIN "DATA" jack. See WA8LMF's page at the link I posted for h
