Good video - one of the reasons I love my Kenwood TH-D74, it has a TNC built in, no additional hardware required.

Min 0.56.. you have a lot of radios. I just need your 7100 for this humble new ham radio operator.. jaja, good videos. Keep going

Sweet, this is exactly what I wanted to do, looking for something for my 7100 and already had the Mobilinkd in the cart

FYI Still using AOL in 2022. Gotta have your spam email and AOL works great. I've had it since I was a kid in the early 2000's.

Eric!! Aol user here for as long as I can remember. I even have the old "you got mail" notification sound on my cellphone! Hahahaha! When it goes off people sometimes look confused! Hahahaha! Another great video, thanks! 73 de KC2NVG

Eric, great video! I use just the USB cable for winlink, soundmodem and direwolf TNCs. I had to write a custom app to key the radio though. Keep up the god work!

Love you videos! Keep it up! I'm most likely going to be buying an IC7100 and an MFJ 2100 at Hamvention now!

Great video. Why not use the internal soundcard for this? Im curious as to why it doesn’t work. Thanks

RMS express for winmore & winlink works awesome, especially on HF where no other network is necessary, slow yes, but no infrastructure needed.

I thought the IC-7100 had a built in sound card. One USB cable for cat control and audio interface. Why use the Mobilind?

This system totally uses the internet...unless you're sending an email over winlink to someone local..... you're in Fla. I'm in NJ.... if you sent one to me it could not get here without the internet the way things are set up, and the lack of aprs/packet infrastructure

Blue tooth is built in the Icom IC52A and the Icim 705, I have the Icom IC52A,

I didn't find if the 7100 has a cross band repeater function on analog. Fairly new ham here. Have a few radios but I'm not wanting to limit myself. I have a yaesu ft8900, old 2 channel 2 meter Motorola Maxon, 25 watts i think, and 3 baofeng UV5R ht's. Haven't learned anything about yaesu fusion, and a SDR that I play with that will run on my galaxy S10 phone, but it's a power hog, it pulls around 450 mAh. I want to help keep ham radio alive by getting our youth involved starting with the local boy scouts packs, and that's where the baofeng UV5R ht's come in along with my laptop and SDR. I'm also a volunteer storm spotter. Our city emergency manager signs onto our local ham radio club repeater, coordinates our position, relays our observations to the national weather service and sounds the sirens if we observe any tornadoes. I have not participated in a amateur radio emergency service drill yet. Thoughts? 73 KG5ZEF Ray

I have come back to this and wonder - has anyone done TNC3 with ID-5100A? Would the data jack work, or would you need a specialized cable to switch between the mic and the tnc?

Hi Eric,, Hope you see this... Great stuff.. Keep up the good work... Very informative. You mentioned using the Mobilinkd with your Xeigu X5105... What cable did you use, I think it's a "8 Pin" mini din...?? The 5105 is becoming really popular.. Any chance of a short youtube on the X5105 settings and doing data modes and include the Mobilinkd :) :) :)

Great video again. Did you tried this on HF bands also? Noted the Dec 15th in my calendar :-) 73s Stephan, DF6PA

Eric - thanks for the awesome video. I just picked up an IC-7100 myself. I haven't researched is much yet, but perhaps you know if it can work WinLink with the SignaLink Modem? Thanks again for the great videos!

Hi Eric, I’m still using aol in 2020 73’s N3XCP

Is there anyway to power your keyboard via a USB power adapter, what about using Mobilink with RTTY Terminal software.

please need the opinion I am in doubt which radio .... IC 7100 or Yaesu FT 991 A ??? what advantages ??? 73

I did try the Mobilinkd with my Yaesu FT-65R but I couldn't send any emails. It would constantly lock up and loose data. I don't know what the issue was, maybe the HT is too slow when switching from TX back to RX? APRS works perfectly fine with the same radio

Hey Eric, thanks for the vid, great as usual! ;) 2 things: I have a vid on my phone of the Noise Blanker in action if you want to see it (in the previous video you mentioned it was kinda useless) and regarding the mobilinkd, can you use this for FT8 and the likes? The body of my radio is in the back of my ute, can't be bothered pulling 8m usb cables haha

So you can send data without using cell phone towers? Would this work in a natural disaster if the internet is down? Does it require a repeater or can it do it simplex?

As it doesn’t do 300baud I doubt it’s HF worthy. It’s the second vid you have mentioned it in but it won’t go slow enough for HF. Unless v3 will - I would buy - 2.2 doesn’t go below 1200 - I know because I asked. VK1MIC

G'day Eric. Love the vids. Question about having noise reduction on while using digital over FM. General I have NR off when using digital modes on HF SSB so it doesn't have a negative impact, especially on weak signal modes. Does it not matter when using FM or because it's not a weak signal mode? Cheers mate 73. Lance VK6LMK

Does it doe 9600 baud on FM digital mode? ( G3RUH )

I am fairly new to HAM. Just got this radio. I am stll waiting on the 6 foot antenna. Can I turn on the radio without the antenna? I remember burning the power unit in a hand held doing that and I definitely don't want to blow this $1,000 piece of art. Thanks!

I use AOL email.works reliably. very little spam.

I have AOL still

Eric, outstanding videos. There is a procedure on the web to use Winlink on VHF with the IC 7100 without a separate TNC. This procedure uses the following 1. CAT7200 program to key the radio 2. Soundmodem by UZ7HO 3. Winlink Express software Are you familiar with this setup? Been trying to get it to work to no avail. Maybe a pretty cool future video topic to help the IC 7100 use community. Cheers 73 AE0BE

Hi Eric, Great videos. Just a quick comment to say no external interface is required, all data/SSTV/packet etc can be done via USB. Also, how to use DSTAR on the 7100, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9hdmNdqzb-nn2g.html Cheers, Mike G1ZRN.

ARES? Not APRS?

A real message would have been nice to see. You know: a few pages of text and 5MB of attachments. See how that goes thru.

Thanks for the nice demo... de KJ3LR

So you make a video to show people how something works, and that's cool. But you have a low battery causing lots of typos, and then you send a message that can't be sent for whatever reason... My question is: would it really be that hard to simply reshoot the video and this time make sure all those things work? It would have made this video so much more useful to me to not have all these unnecessary distractions polluting the process. If you aren't making enough $ from this channel to make it worth the time, maybe this is why. If you ARE making enough,,, well, then, why?

AOL of today isn't the AOL of the past it's basically Yahoo as they are both owned and controlled by Verizon.

I use AOL for 20+ years. Bite me. KM4MCK

You lost me after you said 7100. But I watched anyway.

Simply a Mobilinkd device. A WASTE OF TIME!
