I have the greatest respect for Dr Taylor but his stuff is so good it seems like cheating. :-) -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws plaws net | Travel by Train! _____________________________________________
Since it's nowhere near available that's probably just a guess at the MSRP. I thought the exchange was closer to 2:1 but I see that 1500 is US$1800 or so. That's cheap if they don't bother with a "UX
Unreleased. Prototype was shown at Tokyo Hamfair. https://www.n1fd.org/2017/09/18/icom-ic-9700-prototype/ Only 3 antenna ports so likely online 144/432/1296 (and it appears it will really be a triban
I do not have a IC-9100. Thought about it but ended up with a IC-910H to go with my IC-746Pro. On the 746, to send and receive audio from the ACC(1) connector on the rear, you need to be in the "D" m
OK, I clued in. FT-8 et al. Fine modes. Excellent technology. Smells like cheating. At the very least, the QSOs should count for less. :-) -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws plaws net | Travel by Train! _
You clearly missed the DXMap site over the weekend - there was a VE6 making FT8 QSOs on 2m throughout the western US. It may take a long time (like communicating with submerged subs) but that's how a

Old as the hills. At least as long as I have been a ham (1991). ARRL has done a good job promoting the VHF and up bands, eh? :-) Also, don't suggest they "fix it" because you probably won't like the
It's also filled with horror stories of CFLs and LED lights run rampant. The horrors! Except I have nothing but (even the lights in the fridge are LED) and have no issues. So I take everything there
Only 4-char grid locators are needed for VUCC (and IGC) which are, at present, the only thing LOTW credits "count" for. Could be used in the future, of course, so you are right to think about it. Yea
I have mostly Icom stuff and like it a lot ... but ... Icom isn't really interested in what I think (or you or anyone on the list thinks) and is gonna do what Icom is gonna do. Maybe they'll do the 9
Icom doesn't usually stray far from what they know. I expect the US-spec version will be 100/75/10 just like the IC-910H ... Keeping in mind that the radio doesn't actually exist. :-) -- Peter Laws |
Um. No. Nothing else in amateur radio is "idiot-proofed" why a particular piece of software? If an op is education-proof which, granted, is a growing problem generally not just in radio, then just do
That's how I read it. Plus a further watering down of the "value" of a certificate by awarding more of them. I assume that soon any entrant will be awarded a certificate in some category (SOLP, Icom
But you at least won the section. Yes, you were surely the only one in the category -- I've done that myself (SO3B in the June, I think, a few years back). Now they're saying EVERY participant gets a
Icom finally decides to put L-band in as the default (meaning no need to leave room for and then design a removable module as on previous radios) and ... people complain because there is no 222 MHz b

Woolweaver is no longer a Director in the West Gulf Division. And I'm OK with that. :-) If you try to get ARRL to support this you will get something that may have the same name as what you propose b
Consistency is good. Separation of modes is good, too. Only question from me would be "does this work everywhere in ITU Region 2?" and if yes, does it also work in Regions 1 and 3? And, of course, at
