Announcing the January 18th, 2025 Club Breakfast Meeting

Doug,?
Maybe it's me or my setup, but I get spotty results with the FC3 room. Some days it works great, then sometimes days go by and I hear nothing. I know we don't have a lot of traffic on the system, but I do a lot of 7 hour drives with that little
pi-star heartbeat light flashing like it's connected and I don't hear a thing. I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing, or maybe I just need to do some troubleshooting?
Regards,
Bob, KJ5IK?

Hello,
Yesterday our YSF was acting up. ?The windows 10 computer required?software updates. ?As a?result,?the?Wires X?software gets flaky and thus the YSF openspot receiving the signal breaks up . ?
It＊s a result of the windows software?impacting the??Wires?X connection,?not the YSF reflector itself. ?John W5ZNK rebooted windows 10 as?had a major software update. ?We will look at tools to put on the computer to make sure it updates timely.?
We have a backup reflector connected on FC3 Room 46 on at all times as well concurrent with YSF and our network.
Thanks.

Re: Cross Roads Ham Radio Club (CRHRC)
Same here! Great group doing great things close to my home town. I believe they have a Fusion repeater located in Edna (Jackson County) and occasionally have connected to SADRC. I＊ve talked to one of the guys on this network a couple times.
Really exciting to know people on both networks and further promote the hobby.
Thanks for sharing!

Hello,
I have family in town and I am not available to run the net tonight.?
Should anybody want to get together, I encourage it but there will not a NCS.
I suggest we all get back together the first of the year after New Years as it will be increasing difficult to get people together as families come into town.
Happy Hollidays!

Of the FTM-300DR in comparison with the FTM-500DR, one might want to consult Jim WJ4M, who has both〞and decided to keep the 300 in his car.
