Quite possibly the radio has been put in "One Touch" PTT. Look at page 20 of the manual (download it from http://www.icomamerica.com/downloads/terms_and_conditions.html?/downloads/manuals.html if you
This is also known as a 'grid dance'. It still works, it's just not worth as many mults. Why did the rules change cause you to stop roving ? The point totals can't get as high, but the playing field
That would leave a lot of question in 'my' mind as to whether they were really out there at all. Or were they just 'creative' logging ? - John Rice K9IJ k9ij@vx5.com Webmaster, Network Admin, Janitor

I think Gene is refering to the fact that cabrillo logs have only been accepted for a short time. Thus there is not a long enough baseline of on-line data to be able to determine a trend, using just
I note that the built in tuner only tunes a 50 ohm antenna, also. How many light portable 50 ohm HF antennas are there out there ? I don't think they thought this one out very well. John - K9IJ - Joh
Everybody going to Dayton should stop by the ICOM booth and explain to them the definition of an HT, the fact that they haven't made a VHF/UHF SSB 'HT" in many years, and that the 703 has nothing rea
I don't think so. It violates rule 4c c) No contacts through active repeaters are permitted, except for Satellite Awards. The Handset Base (on each end) with the phone line between them act as a repe
That would work. What's easier, and usually cheaper, is a couple of 900MHZ Baby monitors. Get a couple on the same channel and you can fairly easily turn them into transceivers. John - K9IJ - John Ri
