KD9WMR : I just sent him a e-mail. Should have my wires X up by next week.. 73 to All
ChrisK9EQ : I have not been able to contact KC9TVN. You may need to hunt down the frequency. I'm guessing there are not many signals around Cable.
KD9WMR : Nope, silence
ChrisK9EQ : It's not a repeater, so simplex. No C4FM should work. You should hear it.

KD9WMR : I am not setup for Wires X yet.. I do have a 991A however
ChrisK9EQ : Cable WI. I'm guessing you're trying to access Ozzie's simplex node?

W4IOD-Odis : Your most welcome
K3FZT-Steve : Thank you for addressing my question.
W4IOD-Odis : Steve, it looks like we are working OT today so Chris will answer your question.
W9FCC-Dan : Thanks for the great info on manufacturing and thoughts on the FTM-500. I found it very fascinating!
W4IOD-Odis : Steve, will get to your YSF reflector question next week.

K3FZT-Steve : I think I'd like to stand up a YSF reflector bridged to one of my club's new DR-2X repeaters. The WIRES-X node for that repeater is located at my QTH. I'm looking for resources to help me learn about standing up a reflector, maintaining it and managing the bridging to the WIRES-X Room.
W4IOD-Odis : Hello Steve
K3FZT-Steve : Good evening, Odis.

KF5NXR - John : Good Evening from Dallas!
K9EQ-Chris : Ads now say that the CD-41 can be used with the SAD-25 charger which I think is 10.5.
K3FZT4-Steve : will give it a good charge then on Wednesday
K3FZT4-Steve : I'm going to leave the radio out and take it to the club meeting tomorrow
K3FZT4-Steve : The SAD-24 which is powering the CD=41 says it is putting out 12V at 0.5A so that's not 600ma
W4IOD-Odis : Everyone have a good evening and stay safe 73 de W4IOD SK
KF5NXR - John : I'll check on that heat question you have as well.
KF5NXR - John : I've got one of those 12(10.5)-16V 600mA chargers! input and 8.4v 600 mA out
K9EQ-Chris : Anybody with a CD-41 drop in charger where the input voltage range is different from 12 - 16V?
W4IOD-Odis : These folks are the best of the best when it comes to HF contesting: https://www.iaru.org/on-the-air/iaru-contests/rules/
W4IOD-Odis : Where I get my contest information: https://www.contestcalendar.com/

W4IOD-Odis : You are most welcome Joel
K0OQL-Joel : Thanks Odis! Good tip I will pass it along.
W4IOD-Odis : Hello Joel and yes the 991 will not transmit if the squelch is open in GM so turn your squelch down to zero.
K0OQL-Joel : Is there a way for tech class to monitor the 10m C4FM without transmitting? Turning power down will still put out a signal.
K0OQL-Joel : I am in on the HF info.
W4IOD-Odis : Hello Dan
N0PXT-Shane : Good Evening Dan.
KB9WGP-Dan : Good evening from WI
KD9OZM-Scott : Please add me to the list for HF info on the net. Unfortunately, my FT-991 money is going to my daughter's wedding fund at the moment. Listening on my OS 4 tonight because I was too lazy to fire up my Wires X PC and I did not check my Open Spot audio before net.

W4IOD-Odis : GE Scott

W4IOD-Odis : 12/26/2022 FYI: There will be no Bakken Amateur Radio Society System Fusion Net for tonight December 26, 2022. Everyone have a safe and enjoyable Christmas and New Year and join us next Monday January 2, 2023, at 7:30pm CST for the Bakken Amateur Radio Society System Fusion Net.
guest_9591 : 12/20/2022
guest_9591 : ... to transmit outside of the spec ranges. Is this true?
guest_9591 : I have a few GRMS type radios, but they very in spec frequencies band ranges. I am still able to hear outside of the band range though transmitting only works on the spec ranges. This kind of makes perfect sense to me; to isolate band ranges based on functional usages of those ranges. So anyway, I know another person claiming they are a ham operator who says you can set the device via programming/
guest_9591 : My question:
guest_9591 : cool. so I have a question for an experienced Ham operator as I am just beginning to learn, and although I would think this should be an easy question to find the answer to online, it seems no one is talking about this nuance.
guest_9591 : testing to see how live this is.
W4IOD-Odis : FYI: There will be no Bakken Amateur Radio Society System Fusion Net for December 26, 2022. Everyone have a safe and enjoyable Christmas and New Year and join us the following Monday January 2, 2023 at 7:30pm CST for the Bakken Amateur Radio Society System Fusion Net.

KC9IL : Confirmed!
K3FZT-Steve : Yep. Sure is.
K9EQ-Chris : YSF is back.
KC9IL : Will advice when YSF comes back.
KC9IL : No worries. I'm listening on WIRES-X.
K9EQ-Chris : Computers lie to you! It said it was working. Should be back soon. You can always listen to the live stream.
K3FZT-Steve : The YSF reflector is not live at my location in Philadelphia.
KC9IL : I'm seeing it connected, but not hearing any audio. I rebooted it, still nothing.
KC9IL : Is the YSF bridge not working tonite?
K9EQ-Chris : Right now 2487 nodes are active of which 162 are analog.

N0kew : Hello
W4IOD-Odis : Everyone have a good evening and stay safe 73 de W4IOD SK SK
KF5NXR - John : Roger Roger Chris!
K9EQ-Chris : A lot of people have their audio too high. Chuck's is a bit on the low side, which is okay. But when somebody has their audio so high it's clipping, then one needs to jump for the volume control.
KF5NXR - John : Always been curious why Chuk's K0ORK audio is so much lower than everyone else? Seems like I'm constantly have to turn the volume up and down throughout the net.
W4IOD-Odis : Hello Marty

K9EQ-Chris : 73 all. A total of 25 people connected to the live stream. Thanks!
W4IOD-Odis : Everyone have a good evening and stay safe 73 de W4IOD SK SK
K9EQ-Chris : Latency is pretty good. The tool allows me to connect to "guests" to join the live stream. It can also take "calls" from "callers" using the smart phone app. So I suspect that's why low latency is needed.
KE0YJJ-RICK : smulcast is working fine little or NO LAG time . The simulcast is matching what is comning out of the hri 200 speaker jack. GOOD JOB CHRIS
W4IOD-Odis : Live audio ok on the iPhone and Podbean app running iOS 16.1.1
N9JTE-MARTY : (PodBean) OK I turned off all privacy options, ad blocking, contact blocking, private relay and it still is not playing. I can't find or think of anything else. Not really a big deal as FireFox is flawless.
K9EQ-Chris : Tnx for the info
KE0YJJ-RICK : Good evening Podcast working fine here in mn
W4IOD-Odis : Same here John
KF5NXR - John : VO1AX was 100% with no drops
N9JTE-MARTY : Yes I am poking around here and I'll see if there is anything else I can find.
KF5NXR - John : Thanks Chris! I see it now!
K9EQ-Chris : Marty: It's hard for me to test on the same computer that's hosting the stream. It would help if you can fiddle around and find something. I'll let podbean know, assuming they don't already.
K9EQ-Chris : They are provided by the retailer.
KF5NXR - John : Where are these coupons that Odis just spoke of?
N9JTE-MARTY : Yes I disabled blockers. No joy here.
K9EQ-Chris : I've had similar problems with Safari. Probably due to enhanced security. Try going into preferences for this web page and disable blocking. See if that helps.
N9JTE-MARTY : Chris the PodBeen live stream still not working for me on Safari. Does work on FireFox.
N9JTE-MARTY : Happy Monday from Trevor, WI

KY4DWS-Dan : Very good to hear! Thanks for getting back with me. I'll try to join you all on the net one night. Glad I stumbled across it this evening, especially since our local repeater is not on your list 🙂 Have a great night and a wonderful Thanksgiving!
N0PXT-Shane : Ah yes, I don't own a FT-1 but I do have the FT-5D. Amazing radio. I even take it with me for search and rescue missions to beacon APRS since it's water resistant.
KY4DWS-Dan : Yaesu FT-1D. Hoping Santa might bring the FT-5DR this year lol.
N0PXT-Shane : Dan., Sure no problem and welcome! What radio are you using?
KY4DWS-Dan : Thanks Shane! I noticed there were three modes - I think it's on auto now, but I'll have to check the manual to be sure since it's not jumping out at me. Good tip. Appreciated!
N0PXT-Shane : Hey Dan, instead of being in Wires-X mode make sure the radio is in "AMS" or Automatic Mode Switching" That way you can hear both digital and analogue on the same memory or frequency.
KY4DWS-Dan : Hey all - Dan in Shelbyville KY, happened to turn on my HT for the first time in literally years and heard 'noise' - realized it might be data, hit wires-x, and boom there you all are. Thanks for a first tonight 🙂

KC9IL : My FT-3 will only receive AM on 29.250.
N9JTE-MARTY : Cable map ~ Wow!
K0OQL-Joel : Seen it on fazebook
K9EQ-Chris : Never thought about using the FT5 on 29.250. Thanks for the hint Joel.
K0OQL-Joel : As seen on 'The Net' I used the FT5dr to monitor 29.250 GM function when I was away from home. More ham fun!

K9EQ-Chris : Going to test a BT mic on the FT5.
AI5AI-Don : Good night everyone 73
K3FZT-Steve : Good evening and thank you. 73 de K3FZT / Steve
KF5NXR - John : Getting past my bed time, night yall, 73!
K9EQ-Chris : I ran a DR1 with a real 6 dB gain on the Rx (UHF) and 120 watts output. No desense. But one hell of a duplexer.
KA1CNF-Steve : been meaning to...lol
KA1CNF-Steve : I guess i am just lazy to add anything there
K9EQ-Chris : KA1CNF: 210,000+ lookups on QRZ and no Bio? No pictures???!!!
KA1CNF-Steve : good to know about the same RX specs
KA1CNF-Steve : dr1x-fr would be easier to pull and try out than the dr2x installed at another site
K9EQ-Chris : DR1 and DR2 basically have the same Rx.
K9EQ-Chris : Yaesu specs are the minimum FCC requirements - probably what BC is doing. In my experience they do between 10 to 20 dB better. So for calculating your system, you should use closer to the actual numbers.
AI5AI-Don : either repeater
KA1CNF-Steve : Thank you!
KA1CNF-Steve : dr1x
KA1CNF-Steve : we may just pull a dr2x-fr from another site to try it out
KA1CNF-Steve : yep we also have a circulator on the repeater
KA1CNF-Steve : Thanks for the response and info!
KA1CNF-Steve : intermod rejection, spurious rejection and selectivity of yaesu similar to Bridgecom. Cannot find specs on Micor
KA1CNF-Steve : the micor had trouble until DCI 4 pole filter installed.
KA1CNF-Steve : mobile in a box bothers me also, I hear it too often from hams
AI5AI-Don : Chri is going where I was going.
W4IOD-Odis : Don, your on deck
AI5AI-Don : I can help. Maybe
KA1CNF-Steve : I am listening
W4IOD-Odis : rgr
KA1CNF-Steve : yes
W4IOD-Odis : Steve, I will mention it on air if that's ok?
KA1CNF-Steve : Does anyone have any comments or experience with a DR2X in a high RF environment? Ongoing debate at one of the local clubs to replace a Motorola Micor with something else. Some folks reject the Yaesu repeater outright saying it is just 2 mobiles in a box....thanks

KF5NXR-John : Thanks Chris!
K9EQ-Chris : The Blue Parrott depends on what you want. I have the 350 from years back. Nice thing I discovered about them is that they now have apps and firmware updates that add the "new" features to old products.
N0ANE : I am also using cheap generic Chinese trucker headsets and they work just fine.
N0ANE : I’ve been much happier with the FTM 300 over the 100 or 400. None of the vox drop out problems that they had.
KF5NXR-John : To the gentleman that is using the Blue Parrott solution for bluetooth, what model number of headset is he using that works?
