First DMR QSO! – K5ACL
https://k5acl.net/2017/01/05/first-dmr-qso
January 5, 2017. January 13, 2017. Accomplished my first DMR QSO today with K5IMO (thank you Larry! On the TG3184 (TalkGroup for the State of Texas). Thanks to KE5ZW and his DMR repeater located in Cedar Park, TX – 25 miles away, I was able to access the machine with the Connect Systems CS580. The local amateur radio club here in Austin that i’m involved with, the N5OAK, has decided to go forward with a DMR Repeater after much anticipation! I just like to dabble in different digital modes!

Decoding Digital Modes with an SDR – K5ACL
https://k5acl.net/2016/12/13/decoding-digital-modes-with-an-sdr
Decoding Digital Modes with an SDR. December 13, 2016. Time for some more fun with the SDRplay! Virtal audio cables make this all possible by allowing digital audio data to be passed from one application to another without any loss of signal. Pretty cool stuff eh? I have a goal one day to be constantly monitoring ALL bands for digital modes. For now, this is a good start 🙂. Screen capture works like a charm now! So bigger isn’t always better with a panadapter screen – lesson learned! You are commenting ...

Larsen 2/70 Mobile Antenna Kicks Butt. July 22, 2016. A few months ago I had a Larsen 2/70 mobile antenna installed on my truck, (well I had someone put the NMO mount in, and I did the hard part of screwing the antenna on, lol). No, but seriously, my truck has some serious side curtain airbags that I didn’t want to mess with. The … More Larsen 2/70 Mobile Antenna Kicks Butt. Larsen 2/70 Mobile Antenna Kicks Butt.

New Record Set for WSPR! February 3, 2017. Yesterday I decided to do some ‘springtime’ maintenance on my Hustler antenna by resealing the coax, tightening all the connections and checking/adjusting with an antenna analyzer. I figured after all that work, I’m going to leave this thing up for a bit! So I took a bit more care this time, and added another guy … More New Record Set for WSPR! New Record Set for WSPR!

Using a GPS Repeater Antenna with the Yaesu FTM400DR – K5ACL
https://k5acl.net/2016/12/22/using-a-gps-repeater-antenna-with-the-yaesu-ftm400dr
Using a GPS Repeater Antenna with the Yaesu FTM400DR. December 22, 2016. December 23, 2016. On a trip out a few weeks ago, the FTM400DR took almost 30 minutes before it was able to get a lock. I figured it was the laptop blocking the signal, so I completely rotated it out of the way, but still no dice. Found another YouTube video. By KC8MTV showcasing this GPS repeater antenna he found that just might be a good option. I think this is a relatively easy and cheap enough fix. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.
