Today I made a joke commercial for my newly designed & printed EXTREME Ham Radio desktop accessory for the Ultimate Net Commander. The "UV-Commander", a #baofeng radio holder for all those extreme social nets discussing ham radio and antennas and bodily functions! #3dprinting #hamradio #uv5r #prepping #extremeweather Also fits #vx6r #yaesu and #ft5 #radio
The ever trustworthy and unbiased @qrper has shared a video about the just released #Yaesu #FTX-1. As soon as I can stream it to my big telly, I'll watch it. Watching it on a mobile phone is not good

While I understand the concepts of it all, I think I need to find a local Elmer to learn the details of all the C4FM / Fusion / WIRES-X / blah blah blah stuff, since it seems like fun to tinker with.

@croyle smartly didn't sign-up for that job when he sold me the FTM-200D. If he had, he'd be begging me to send the radio back for a refund by now. 😂

Perhaps you've heard of My First Pony? Here's My First Yaesu.

Earlier this week, the lovely FTM-200D pictured here (upper right) arrived from @croyle and is now freshly programmed and in its perch as my base station VHF/UHF unit. Although with APRS and such, it may well leave the shack from time-to-time.

So far, I find it to be a really nice radio, and look forward to tinkering with WIRES-X and what-not in the weeks and months ahead.

The #Yaesu #FTX1 is looking better and better as a ship radio over my Icom 7100. The only big omission for my operating is the loss of a data port for external modems/TNC's. There might be a microphone port/speaker option, but RX out can easily do damage to things. I much prefer line level audio. I don't use TNC's at sea anymore, so the issue isn't a deal breaker.

Banging my head trying to get a WIRES-X PDN node to allow connections to C4FM rooms. I get the room list, but the “Connect” option is grayed out, as is the Port Check button. I think it may be a Windows 11 firewall issue.

Gotta leave it alone. Spent *way* too much time on it this evening. 😐 #HamRadio #Yaesu #WiresX

Just finished building my #CW practice kit. Also nicely turns into my #POTA / #SOTA travel kit for CW. I designed the cases for the BaMaTech - BaMaKeY TP-III and the HAMCUBE Mini so that they provide more ergonomics and comfort while in use.

Whatcha think?

Got FT-480R working with FT8 last evening, although for some reason none of the Yaesu microphones I have worked.

The pin layout of the FT-847 and FT-480 for PTT and mic are the same, but the mic's PTT wouldn't work. I will have to make one from scratch.

PIn 6 - PTT
Pin 7 Ground
Pin 8 - Mic
