Ham Radio 2.0

Here are some trials and successes that I had with transferring my AT-D878 codeplug into my AT-D578III Pro radio. It works! So that is the good news, so take a look at the video to see the hoops I had to jump through.

This is Part 9 of the General License Upgrade Class, put on by W5HRC the Hurst Amateur Radio Club in Texas. Question Pool is good from 2019-2023 via the W5YI Study Guide, found here: https://amzn.to/2qGTG88

We come to the end of 2019 and it has been a great year for this video series. I am truly thankful to all of you who have made the growth of this channel possible. I wanted to do one last shopping video for the end of the year – check out this last minute holiday deals from these various vendors. Happy New Year!

This is a 4-part video that are presentations done by HamSCI members about various projects. See links below for the specific parts.

Building upon the last 2 videos I posted in this channel, we hear about plans to use the new TangerineSDR device, which has multiple uses, to build a Personal Space Weather Station for HamSCI and the Ham Radio Community.

Scotty Cowling, WA2DFI, provides more detailed information about the Software Defined Radio SDR, being developed for a Personal Space Weather Station, among other reasons, by HamSCI and TAPR. We can expect to see this device in early 2020, hopefully by Orlando Hamcation.

From the 2019 TAPR Digital Communications Conference, Nathaniel, W2NAF, provides an update to the Personal Space Weather Station being developed by TAPR and HamSCI, which includes the Tangerine SDR device.

The long awaited AT-D578UVIII Pro Radio is here for DMR Mobile Users. This feature-packed "Pro" model includes GPS, APRS and Bluetooth, and for Operators in the USA, it also includes the 1.25M 220MHz band. Let's take a first look at this radio, how to update the firmware, attempting to load a codeplug, and some power output tests in this first, but certainly not last, episode.

End of the year sales and deals for Ham Radio - lots of stores will be continuing sales, or creating new sales, for Ham Radio gear between now and the end of 2019. Check this video for some of the best deals.https://kit.co/kc5hwb/holiday-gift-ideas-for-the-ham-operatorhttps://kit.co/kc5hwb/sota-and-pota-gear
