Is there any way to force an ic-7300 to tx on 5mhz/entire 80m band? There are so many channels in winlink that are unavailable :/

Jonny 290 posted:Common mode will cut down the noise buuuut it's now also hamstringing the coax shield's use as a counterpoise. Hmm, i have added a wire to the coax shield (right before it goes inside) and it leads to a ground rod, is the counterpoise already messed up?

DevNull posted:A counterpoise is an alternative to ground. Unless your ground is really bad, it should be better than a counterpoise from what I understand. it goes to a 1 meter ground rod and that ground rod is connected to another ground rod 1 meter from the first ground rod but i can also connect to a third ground rod 5 meters away if i i need more ground rod. ground rod.

Jonny 290 posted:ok! you are on the right track and doing the right thing. However, you're also running up against one of the reasons i hate end feds. i read basic noob information about how counterpoise in end fed antennas work and i now understand why i had to tune the radio when i used a ferrite ring or used a patch cable + filter. ground rod + common mode choke + inductor is probably the best cost/benefit i can do where i live. Too bad we dont live in a frictionless sphere world but have to deal with external factors

*computer yelling into a mic" HELLO. I AM RADIO AND SEND SIGNAL TO YOU. ERRORSOUNDCARDSTOPPEDWORKING *radio doing direct modulation* Hello Sir, this is His Excellence Radio Teletype The Third. Please accept this handmade bespoke letter. I modified my v2000 antenna so vswr is better on ft8 50.313. it went from 2.2 to 1.26. Solution? But a piece from a telescopic whip antenna on top and then adjust while using nanovna. I had to put a piece of plastic pipe in the midsection since the antenna got longer. And lots of electric tape. I can get it to 1.105ish but i am going to wait til its less snow and cold.

Jonny 290 posted:i'd use the hf antenna for 6m if possible and just use a switch between the transverter and radio the v2000 is better at 6m than my wire antenna. i guess i will be buying a regular transverter and then some switches.

Helianthus Annuus posted:how about a 2nd transceiver to cover vhf+uhf -- is that too obvious? i would worry about the transverter being lossy / noisy if i find something used that can send vhf ssb and can be used with computer and ft8 then i might as well. I think a new transverter is much more expensive than a used vhf transceiver if one think about how much watt it can send.

how do i calculate elevation degree (uhf band) using my yagi while trying to reach a certain grid location (trying to listen to beacons)? and is knife edge diffraction even a thing at 70cm? edit: and it also applies to meteor scatter when i want to try that out next shower time. shower more please.

phew, good to hear. when i manage to get a kr-600 azimuth rotor fixed (a bolt is rusted so good that its almost like its welded to it, gotta bore it out or something. also remove rust and make a new rotor cable that is not rotten) ill just point it at horizon and just care about azimuth degree. elevation rotor will be purely for sats then.

someone heard me on 70cm ft8 because i recieved 1 signal, a -7 db ft8 signal back, but it was the same message i sent? then i saw the creature had gotten a radio license. edit: used 432.174 mhz. i see on pskreporter they are quite flexible regarding what frequencies they use :/ standardize!

i was going to borrow rotators from someone but all 3 rotators (+ one that was probably broken) he had left over didnt work. turns out controller box was electrically faulty ouch. :| luckily he didnt use his newest modern rotators on that box or else it would be no rotators for both of us. Sat project is on hold i guess until i can buy it somewhat cheap on the used market. or maybe replace bad parts if i manage to learn how to do it.

i got an offer to buy complete azi-el (some sort of ancient word or something) rotator from someone in local radio club. sats sats sats sats sats sats sats sats sats sats sats sats sats sats sats sats Everybody edit: a lot of things included so the offer, it is very good. I even got "pay as you can afford it over time" as well. *Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of my nose* Radio amateurs, i love you guys. *wipes tears* *bullet* THE END. NO MORAL.

Jonny 290 posted:lol that very same ham that lost three (four technically but we presumed it was broken anyway) rotators to electrically faulty control box. when i borrowed them and put them together to test them the motor just said tk tk tk tk tk. Me and him checked everything. pins, cable etc. Then he used a multimeter on control box. electricity. it is sometimes bad. :/ edit: I have soldered plug on and put it all together. I just need a boom through the elevation rotator and clamps for the antennas then i can try to put it on long mast and wrangle it upwards. edit2: at least they will be easy to repair, motor replacement only.

i am putting together things for sat and rotator and i was looking at using an LNA since ic-910h is quite deaf compared to using sdrplay rsp1a. I was prepared to make a complicated setup with several feed lines etc but then i discovered that ic-910h sends 12-13v directly if you turn on the preamp setting to on. just gotta get an lna that can be direct fed 12v and that it have sufficient isolation. https://www.sv1afn.com looks promising atm.

i got everything setup and working with satellites. However. I found out my radio will not change to tx frequency determined by HRD when transmitting so i transmit on the same frequency i listen to. RX is totes fine its just tx that is bad. I know vfo a and b with ic-910h is messy but dang. I will have to research CAT control software and cables and settings etc. At least everything physical is in place. io-117 and rs-44 my current fav sats.

thehustler posted:can we try FM pls! it'd be an absolute pleasure to finally get one of you direct RF Can you recommend any particular satellites? You will be my first voice qso if we manage to work things out. I managed to fix my problems with same band up down link communication. If i use a program called SatPc32Iss for those satellites and HRD for vhf/uhf sats then i have everything covered. I got dogpiled first time using greencube lol.

I can hear ISS about 15 seconds when its at max elevation 1.1 degree or something. KP19 is far north :/ I can try SO-50 and tevel satellites and see what happens. I should build a better vhf yagi since its just horizontal polarization and just 6 elements. I am quite limited right now since the antenna is just 1.5 meters above ground. If satellites come from south and go east then i can work them. I have to get help for setting up 7-8 meter fiber mast so i can get full value for my rotor satellite setup.  I have moved on from toyota carina 2 1992 to suzuki swift 2014. toyota carina 2 was a good first time car imo.

thehustler posted:don't forget you need down and up, 2/70. sometimes it's easier when the satellite is a 2 uplink and 70 down vs the other way around I have tested my setup and UHF 11 ele cross yagi is good to use. 6 element regular VHF yagi is really bad. Going to build a better antenna to complete my setup.
