Thanks for all the comments on so2r equipment, there are of course too many replies to respond to each one directly. Hopefully I will get to read through them all and summarize here or on my web site
Again I thank everyone who replied to the original question I posed about so2r equipment that I could get off the shelf. I have finally filtered and read the replies and summarized them on my web sit

no problem, which is the point of the question. So2r is ONE OPERATOR doing all he can to win. Using packet takes assistance from other operators which used to put you in a multi op class. The s/o 'a

yes, it can help. But you have to think stacks, not just one high antenna. A perfect example is my 4 ele 10m at 180'. It opens 10m to africa and europe a half hour before the lower antennas, but aft
I am considering a combo hf/vhf/uhf radio to replace the rather lame ts-680 and ft290r vhf stuff here. In a quick scan through a handy catalog I see at least 3 options: Ft-847 $1250(+$120 cw filter,
Thanks for all the comments. Made a quick decision to go with the ts-2000 today before the sale price runs out tomorrow. Deciding factors: Ft-847 - no vox, adding filters brings price up Ic-746 - no

Interesting. But you should really compare them over a longer period, especially during good spring or fall propagation. In many years of experience here a full size 4-square with only 4 radials rais
Sri if some of this has been said already, but there has been so much talk on this subject that I just can't read it all. My feelings are this: Leave the 30 days to get logs in for now, but in the me

NA does support the dvp. It can not use nettsr. With ct an Ethernet switch should work ok with nettsr, but it shouldn't provide any advantage over a hub or 10base2 coax lan unless you are on a networ
