Re: Kenwood TH-D7 ?
Ciemon G0TRT
Don't remember anyone replying to this, so........
So, what's the score with the Kenwood TH-D7 then?Right Keith, I have one, it's about 7 months old and it's the plums. What's wrong with it? The antenna isn't brilliant, but it works, there are a number of replacements available from over the pond, with much better performance. The belt clip is ok, but you can rip the back off the battery if you catch the radio whilst it's attached to your belt. KISS mode doesn't work too well, infact Roger is working on this at the moment. What's good about it? Pretty much everything else. I've had no problems whatsoever with mine. There have been reports of problems with the A model, so much so that Kenwood listened and quickly did a bug fix of the radio for those in the US. To specifically answer your questions: Don't know about AGWPE, but the KISS thing may be a problem. The tracker side works fine with UI-View (I use mine in the car all the time) and the messaging on the will work with the next (?) release of UI-View. 9k6, haven't tried it yet, but I'm going to try it this weekend coming during a node test. Hope that helps..... 73..Ciemon G0TRT |

Re Mir.

Names John QTH Widnes in Cheshire.
I recieved a QSL card this morning Saturday from VY1RT Ron in the Yukon Canada to confirm he heard my Beacon on 145.985 via Mir with the signal 5/4/9. So many thanks once again to ROGER G4IDE for such a great program I never thought that I would ever get a card for such a contact just goes to show you never know who can hear you beacon till the cards arrive. 73 to all readers from a happy UI-VIEW user De John G0THP.

Re: Heard on 144.800 morning 17th July
Hi Ciemon
I heard you a couple of times over the weekend. Rather than use RELAY,WIDEThanks for the tip - I've tried pinging BHM with no response although I certainly hear him direct. I have never logged NRW direct, only via digipeat. I'll gladly send a list with you on it,even a jpg, if that's what you'reThat's OK - I just wanted some re-assurance that I was getting out and you have given me that - thanks.... Denis Pibworth G4KWT P.S. Have just finished boxing up my tracker (ICOM ICW2/PacComm Handipacket/GPS 12XL) and will be giving it a try on Sunday - any reports gratefully received.... |

Re: BPQ Digi Update
Seems fine to me,

Although, at present levels of activity, reducing the number of transmissions is only saving the nanoseconds worth of electricity expended in re-digipeating. :-) I'm sure that it will save an ulcer or two for the good remote sysops of various BBSs, if anyone happens to leave a BPQDIGI 'on' somewhere where it should not be 'on' though. <Grin> De Dave (G0DJA) From: Roger Barker <roger@...> |

<roger@...> writes From: Roger Barker <roger@...>To reply to my own message... It seems that on the earlier passes the French person in the MIR crew is operating on phone. I can't imagine what several hundred stations on FM all calling at once must sound like! The later passes are packet. I definitely have more success at the very start of the pass, presumably because the satellite is still out of range of a lot of the EU traffic. I have also noticed PE stations using what one is announcing as "APRS space mode" - perhaps this is another addition to the "protocol"? -- Roger Barker, G4IDE roger@... Boston, UK |

Heard mir again last night at 21:00 but still nothing
on the screen. Decided to have a listen around on voice and discovered VERY low RX sigs then discovered short on antenna downlead. 23:00 pass much better!!! Heard several stations then switched back to 144.800 and heard G4LVZ in Tamworth and G7VUR mobile in North Birmingham. David. === -- David Lees G0PDL Solihull West Midlands |

Hi Denis,
I heard you a couple of times over the weekend. Rather than use RELAY,WIDE (only use this initially) use known stations to go a specific route. I'd suggest using NRW or BHM as the start point, try CQ,G7BHM,WIDE,WIDE. If you monitor the packet you'll get a start come up after G7BHM ie CQ,G7BHM*,WIDE,WIDE if he hears you. I'll gladly send a list with you on it,even a jpg, if that's what you're after. 73..Ciemon G0TRT |

BPQ Digi Update
Roger Barker <[email protected]
I've now put the BPQ Digi application on my web site. It's at -
This version has a couple of improvements:- 1. It won't digipeat frames sent by MYCALL. Example - I have WIDE in my alias list, MYCALL is set to G4IDE. I send a beacon - G4IDE>CQ,RELAY,WIDE I then hear my own beacon being digipeated by a RELAY - G4IDE>CQ,RELAY*,WIDE Although I'm digipeating as WIDE, I don't digipeat it because I sent it. 2. Suppression of duplicate digipeats is now supported. If a frame that has already been digipeated is heard again within a configurable time period, then it won't be digipeated again. Example - WIDE is in the alias list. I hear a beacon - G8MZX>CQ,RELAY*,WIDE So I digipeat it. I then immediately hear the same beacon via a different RELAY, but I don't digipeat it again. Hope that all makes sense! -- Roger Barker, G4IDE roger@... Boston, UK |

Anyone for MIR?
Roger Barker <[email protected]
The pass times for MIR are now in the evening, which should make it
easier for more people to have a try at digi'ing their beacons via the satellite. Yesterday evening (19th) I found it quite easy to get a beacon through using only 3W from a handheld into a zero gain vertical antenna. The MIR frequency is 145.985, but, if the tuning step of your rig is 12.5kHz, the Doppler shift will allow you to get in during the first part of each pass if you use 145.9875. In UI-View "Station Setup", set "Unproto address" to "BEACON,R0MIR", make sure your "Beacon comment" is short, and set "Beacon interval" to 0.5 (every 30 seconds). However, once you've seen that your beacon has been digi'd, please set the interval to something longer to give others a chance! The pass times for MIR for the next few days for my location (Boston) are:- Date Acquisition (BST) Duration (mins:secs) Max. Elev. (deg) ---- ----------------- -------------------- ---------------- 20th July 19:33:50 09:00 14 20th July 21:08:02 10:00 44 20th July 22:43:05 10:07 64 21st July 00:18:17 09:55 32 21st July 01:53:52 07:50 8 21st July 18:25:19 07:15 6 21st July 19:58:32 09:45 27 21st July 21:33:19 10:15 62 21st July 23:08:29 10:08 50 22nd July 00:43:46 09:21 17 22nd July 18:49:19 09:00 15 22nd July 20:23:35 10:00 46 22nd July 21:58:39 10:07 64 22nd July 23:33:49 09:57 31 -- Roger Barker, G4IDE roger@...
