Have been running my Beacon from Guernsey but nothing heard from the North
of us. One other station  GU7DHI operating on 2mtrs and one other  2U1EKH on
70 cms.

Are there any stations on the South Coast picking us up.

Running 16 watts from an IC2E and a home brew linear and the antenna a home
brew Slim Jim which in the past has accessed the HULL 2 Mtr. repeater with
30 watts.

Don't remember anyone replying to this, so........

So, what's the score with the Kenwood TH-D7 then?

I'm thinking of getting one.  Will AGWPE drive it?  How well does itwork
with UI-View (both using it indoors and in the car)?  How well does the
9k6 packet work with it?

G6NHURight 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 theUS.

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.....

GU7DHI was heard here (9 miles WNW of Ipswich) on Sunday, although it was
only one packet!

Thanks Ciemon I will pass the message on to him and perhaps it will let
others have a look for us.

I think Al is better placed than I as the QTH here is six feet below sea
level at Spring High Tide but the rise and fall then is ten metres.

At the moment the weather is fine but the wind has increased to 40 MPH Force
SEVERN from the North East so conditions will have fallen.
But no rain is forecast and none has fallen in weeks apart from two weeks
ago when the XYL and I went to POOLE for the day and it rained there.

But I have a thirty foot well, the water is salty at times though due to the
elevation NEGATIVE of the site.

Keep a ear out for us.
