That looks like the Signed DXE South Pacific Banner with two Expeds already on it!

Or a chassis mount connector. Or silicone from your local store. Or split the coax and crimp on a UHF or N female to make a short pigtail.

Too clug-ie A step in the right direction. But...

Interesting presentation Michael, thank you. It gets me thinking. I enjoyed looking at the rigs in the background. Do you ever listen to the Hallicrafter SX-110? Jim, W5JCS

August 2024 "N5J" Jarvis Islands (OC-081) is having a great time with the world's HAMs thanks to the excellent system, great operating skills, and the wonderful operation such as the certification event of the DX-Pedition. Stay healthy and safe sailing everyone...GL, Kyu, HL2WA

Hi Sean, great information. I've been hoping to accomplish contact with a satellite in the near future. I purchased an Yeasu FT-65. It comes with an interesting feature called "VFO Split Mode". The advanced manual states it can be used for satellite communications. My plan was to buy one cheaper radio that was quality built. Do you have any experience or knowledge of this menu feature? Does it work? I really hope I made a good decision.

….mmm yea about the reveal….😂 man… probably worth about $2k and all the community gets is disassembled parts….

Good stuff, thanks for the info 73 de KT1R Lou in WV grid FM09

Thank you for picking me up on 10 meters, FB QSO! 73 de I4EWH

Congratulations to the entire team, nice work, and thank you 73.

Very good video by a professional , no nonsense presentation and I like the price disclosure, best video by this company or any other 👍👍👍👍👍

😀

There are many people who listen to you but can't decode. There is some problem with the new ft8 mode

TNX FB QSOs & GL to guys de JF6CYD

Tnx for your effort guys, nice to see my friend Adrian KO8SCA, 73s de Mr HEX :-) Pascal IW0HEX

Tnxs for qsos GL de SV2AEL

Please open reservations for the 60th at DX!! I called today and they didn't have any info on if/when you were going to open reservations.

Hello from WPA guys! Wish I was on the island with you! Kb3jdl 73

Hallo from Denmark OZ1IOM Allan

Should've done like the Nikon anniversary models and used the old logo, that would've been cute.

Dx is great

Hello from Hazel green al KQ4QPO

Internet?! We have radio bands!¡73 PE2K

Is Icom on the verge of announcing a new HF radio?

awaiting the new X60 :) 73 Ira-J88IH /Vacation QTH

With all the proceeds, Icom is buying MFJ!

My IC-905 is very cool! I have an IC-9700 and an IC-7300. It is a pleasure to operate and an intuitive cousin to its predecessors. The radio is inherently stable and easily deployed for roving, listening around and for EMCOMM. I haven't yet tried to use it as a D-STAR gateway, but if idle and available when I get the interest, I will try it. I want to try video once I get a camera. I still need to build up a frame to hold the antennas and radio, but so far, so good! This radio leaves you with a few gaps that some have addressed creatively resolved. For 902 MHz, one creative ham switches in the 144 MHz output as an IF and for 3400 MHz he switches in the 432 MHz on the IF. This just leaves 222 MHz. I have transverters for these bands and may just use my other ICOM radios as IF rigs. Another solution is the Q5 Signal five band transverter on the 144/222/432/902/1296 MHz bands driven by my IC-7300. Alas, the Q5 AND an IC-705 aren't in the budget... at least not this year! I'm blessed to have the IC-905 and 10 GHz module. Anyone want a QSO in the southeast?

RAUL MARTINS BRAZIL pu1yyz 😊

why is Sean not responding to my emails asking for help on satellites, I have sent him two now & both have been ignored ?. He says we can email him but he just does not reply!!. G3YTI

My old Elmer: "I never owned enough real estate to work 160 meters."

Honestly Yaesu killed the FTdx10 by not installing a receive only antenna port. I was seriously considering it but having antenna options is a big thing to me.

Excellent tutorial!

Would like to see Yaesu create a presentation showing their repeater and radios in a multi repeater ARES network.

Thanks for these great insights, fellas. A not to the camera operator, we want to see the radio not the speakers. I suggest zooming in to the radio, using a tripod and leave it. Ideally, the camera would be motionless.

Love using my FT710 at my high noise QTH. ❤

would this be good underground?

A updated, Ham version of the Vertex VX-1210 would be really cool. I had one and it was nice for portable operations, but programming and tuning around the ham bands was a pain.

1- The scope averaging in all three radios is simply not there 2- You guys need a better solution for remoting, that module is not efficient 3- DNR is too agressive and creates distortion.

Had a great run on IOTA🤩 , Great seeing those youngsters!! 73 from Ira-J88IH, NA-109

Don't forget the FT5 also came out during the time period mentioned. Looking forward to see y'all at Huntsville!

thanks Michael for your clear explanation

2 amps on receive? This is definitely not a field rig

Hasn’t it been out for quite some time? It’s over priced…

QRP? And no remote amplifier.. Ill continue using my 9700 even with losses my erp is much better.. and mast mounted preamps are easily aquired

Rovers will love this rig. Hope to work ya 73 de KT1R FM09 in WV

💖👍👍👍73dx.

I can certainly see one of these in the emergency trailor and at each of the eoc's. The assessment role is one that many ARES/RACES/CETT supported teams have when working with Emergency management operations. Would love to see how well that would work and what it would take to make it all play. Thanks for the good summary.
