The kid offered to help me, so I guess not all is lost. Anyway, there was an old neighbor of mine who just joined the club and his grandson is a new ham. There is nothing wrong with that, but I found it unsettling that the younger crowd was not represented. I was sort of shocked though when I went to the club meeting. I can now be found in my shack eagerly listening hoping to pick up tips. I bought a yaesu 450D and with the help of my son recently strung up a dipole.
I desperately need someone to help me get on HF. I wasn’t all that interested in theory way back, but am a bit more now. I plan to pick up the exam prep books and do some studying too. Anyway, I’ve been practicing up on my theory thanks to your videos. The good news is there are a lot of decent handhelds for only a few bucks. For one thing it appears my old 2-meter rig won’t work with the repeaters anymore. I recently got back into ham radio after a 30-year hiatus! Man have some things changed. Thank you all for taking the time to read this. I unfortunately don’t have a service monitor.ĭo you or anyone reading this have any suggestions? Is there anything I have to set on the UV5R? Could anyone give me what each setting is on their UV5R? Is there anyone that has had success with the UV5R and Argent Open Tracker USB? The best thing for that is a service monitor to check the deviation directly”. The most common problem is setting the audio level too high, so that the tones get distorted and can’t be decoded properly.

The Argent owner told me “Make sure you check the manual for the part about setting transmit audio levels. I am 11 miles away from digipeater N6EX-5. I am using WIDE1-1,WIDE2-2 – no luck at all. I have tried to adjust the high and low tones, the transmit delay on the tracker. The tracker will key the radio, I can hear my tones on another radio but that’s it. I am trying to get it to work with the Argent Open Tracker USB that I just bought from Argent including the interface cables and GPS puck. I have a Baofeng UV-5R that works great on simplex and repeaters. Anyway, the bottom line here is that the Baofeng radio works on digital modes. The GPS itself is something that I purchased at the same time I purchased the TT4. I connected it to the mag mount on the Blazer’s roof. The Baofeng radio acquits itself nicely with its 4 W output power. It also works as a standard tracker when used without the display and keyboard. In fact, I was quite pleased with how quickly the messages were acknowledged. I stopped at key intersections, pulled to the side of the road and sent APRS messages (yes, there are such things) using the TT4’s display and keyboard (no computer required). I assembled the equipment the same way, except I added the Tiny Track 4’s display and a keyboard, to see how well I could send messages via APRS from the mobile unit (KEØOG-5) to my home station (KEØOG-1-which connects my Davis weather station to the APRS network).
The points are along Ouray, Colorado, County Road 8 between US Hwy 550 and Vista Point (CR8 is not yet open beyond this-too early in the season).

However, it operates on Windows only, while Fldigi works across operating systems.The Baofeng UV-5R+ proved itself competent to work in an APRS setup. Yes, HAM Radio Deluxe is an excellent alternative.

Where can you run this program?įldigi is available for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Free BDS operating systems. Amateur radio operators will enjoy playing with different basic and advanced options it offers as they work on their messages. The waterfall shows you the signal strength to frequency.Īlthough this may sound like a lot, Fldigi is easy to learn. In the transmit pane, you will type the text you want to send. In the receive pane, you will see the text from incoming signals and your transmitted text as well. There are three main panes in Fldigi’s main window - receive, transmit, and waterfall, as well as many control features. Then you record the messages and work on decoding them. Fldigi works on reducing noise and making the messages clear. In Master Volume, you can set the audio level for transmission. This program is multi-mode, so it operates various popular digital modes - you won’t ever have to switch programs.
The program works in conjunction with a radio transceiver, and it uses your sound card. Fldigi enables users to utilize these digital modes.įor that reason, amateurs who love playing with digital modes will enjoy the tool Fldigi is.
These modes enable conversation similar to voice or Morse code. It also controls the transmitter, works on different modes, and provides features for easier usage. You can type and see what the other person is typing. Fldigi is the premier program for amateur radio loversĭigital Modes are a way of operating radios from the keyboard.
