Does anyone have a view on what is the best external speaker/mic with a Kenwood K1 for a #Baofeng or #Quansheng radio? A relatively inexpensive one - I know there’s a Kenwood KMC-45D but it’s a tad pricey (although probably very good). #HamRadio

#hamradio #baofeng question: is it possible to configure a Baofeng #uv5rplus to only listen on UHF but only transmit on VHF?

Or is dial watch enough to work a satellite with a mode U/V transceiver?

Did a roadtrip with my mobile #aprs digipeter ( #ftm500 #yaesu) today with my #uvpro monitoring with #aprsfi To my phone. Was about a 4.5 hour drive. Pretty interesting to see all the stations! It was also cool I could monitor on my FTM-500 and the UV-Pro at the same time. #photo #photography #amateurradio #hamradio #packetradio #baofeng #btech

I bought a Baofeng K6 tri-band handheld radio for about $30. The challenge is learning how to use it.

https://www.baofengradio.com/products/k6

The two popular and affordable handheld radios for amateurs are the Baofeng UV-5R dual band (VHF/UHF) and the Baofeng K6 Tri-Band (VHF/UHF/FM).

#CTCSS and #tonesquelch coded on these #Baofeng #PMR446 using #CHIRP so they work with #Retevis sets which all have preset CTCSS and DCS activated out of the box.

Baofengs have to have this activated, or else you can transmit on the channel but the Retevis won't open squelch #radio #UHF

On top of everything else, I’m a licensed ham radio bug.

My call sign is K2OOI (I’m a huge Stanley Kubrick fan) but it’s actually not what it looks like.

FCC regulations dictate that the last three characters in this format have to be exactly that – characters, not numbers.

So while it *looks* like 2001, it’s actually 2ooi. Or as they say in NATO phonetics:

Kilo Two Oscar Oscar India.

But if you set it in Futura …

The only thing so far that I don't like about the #Baofeng BF-F8HP (the newest seventh generation model) is that it does not read any of the menus. Aside from me finding out myself I was doing more research on YouTube about it. The voice guidance will read everything else, except for the menus. This means you won't be able to hear about the GPS setting, the CTCSS settings, and other stuff on the radio. Hopefully btech will release a firmware update to fix this. Because it seems like all the other models do so, like the UV5R and the UV5G plus radios. #Accessibility

So I got a "BTECH APRS V01.2" cable hoping it would work better than my handmade cable for #APRS with the #digiriglite, turns out it won't PTT, is there a better way to do this than just holding down PTT before transmitting? is it worth it to just rewire the cable?

Getting back into ham radio, in case there is an apocalypse

I fckn LOVE Internet!

Just to itch a idea in my mind I made 5 min research and jerry rigged this #circuit and #arduino code in an hour and god damn I have a working digipeater with only an Arduino and any #Baofeng handheld. Now I can put digipeaters almost anywhere as cheap as dirt!

Future is today!

If you fancy a new handheld transceiver (*) then baofengradio.co.uk are having a Pre-Black Friday flash sale. #HamRadio #Baofeng

I got myself a new radio. A #Baofeng UV-3R because I wanted a REALLY tiny radio for my every day backpack and #Yaesu and all the others have nothing as small as the UV-3R.

But programming that thing drives me nuts already. Not because of the Software. Oh no, it works with CHIRP. But because of the damn cable.

My multi-radio cable has the matching plug but it won’t allow CHIRP (and the original software) to communicate with the device.

Has anyone had luck using #qdmr or #dmrconf with a #baofeng #dm1701 running #opengd77 ? It wants to think my radio is a DM-1801 no matter what I do, and won't connect. I'd sure like to program it using #linux . Any hints? #dmr #hamradio #hamr
