?I checked the Firmware....
I have the latest:
MAIN V02-04
DSP V01-12
TFT V02-00
C4FM -15

To find the Firmware display page... You push the A=B and A/B buttons and turn it on. The screen will display all the Firmware versions currently in Use.

I'd like to make a contact someday on the national 2 meter C4FM frequency of145.56250. I also have a fustion HT.


There are also C4FM frequencies on 6 and 10 meters. capable of over the horizon digital contacts.. Only the FT-991A has that capability. Of course that requires 2 radios to make a QSO.

It should also be posted at the VFW sick call list (really a prayer list if you ask me)

I may be going there later today.

Prayers for Gaylen's quick recovery.


Locked Re: Gaylen Needs Your Prayers

 

Update, Gaylen has had TPA treatment. So far so good. Still he will be kept for observation. He has been texting and sounds like he is doing well.

Dear Ham Family

Just got a text from Gaylen. He is being admitted to Wesley for a possible stroke. He sent the text so he doesn¡¯t think it too serious, but he is being admitted. I will try and provide updates as I learn them.

Locked Members emails going to SPAM..

 

The problem with some mail services is that if a certain number of emails are sent the ISP figures it's SPAM and starts leaving it in SPAM folders, not INBOX..
This happened to Patricia Hawkins our secretary sending emails to me. All of a sudden my SPAM box has 2-3 emails of hers. I have my SPAM folder set for 7 days.. but yours may be set for immediate deletion
This is why we recommend using the [email protected] when bulk emailing club members.? Yahoo's algorithm knows groups.io is a by subscription? bulk emailer.

?Hello group-

There seems to be a few of us that own YAESU FT-991A HF-VHF-UHF all band-all mode transceivers. I'd like to get a head count as
who owns the radio locally.

Perhaps do some memory programming as the radio has 99 memories. There is an extra cost programming software-hardware (cable) available. that many people use..
There is also a firmware upgrades available for thge operating system and also for the DSP. I am going to be researching the current lever of firmware and how to determine how to read firmware revisions within the radio.

Locked Re: VFW newsletter and Calendar

 

Note to Larry and all others concerned.

Both files uploaded will not read via the voice/over on my iphone. I will try with the computer, but based upon what Bill said was on the screen I don¡¯t believe the computer will be any better. We¡¯re these files created by simply taking a picture of the paper versions and then made into PDF format? If so then that would explain why it doesn¡¯t read. How did I get that idea? Bill noticed that the image in my phone did not match up positionally. In portrait view the words were in landscape view and when I turn the phone to landscape the words were then in portrait view.

Don¡¯t want to make more work for myself, but may I be our accessibility specialist? If we want to invite disabled vets then we might want to make our stuff accessible. I recall that the VFW site also is not accessible.Perhaps we could get involved in helping to fix that as well. Just a thought.

Locked Re: Review NEW Baofeng MP31 HT's

 

Why dont you buy them and donate them to be raffled

I did error as the title MP31 is the correct model but in the review I
called then GM31's.. The correct model is MP-31...
I bought mine from Btech. they had free shipping. Of course
Baofengtech.com is the importer-warranty station..
I also found out from my Blind ham friends that
They can be had on AMAZON.COM for as little as $21.99 delivered...



EXCEPT- this AMAZON version they are selling comes with 2 radios, 2
batteries and 2 USB to USB charging cables.. No earphone mic- and no wall
wart.. Had I known I would of bought them that way because that earphone-
mic FBI style is not my bag, and I have a shoe box full of 5Volt USB wall
warts

Perhaps we could buy a few sets and and raffle them at the VFW and to
friends and co-workers as a fund raiser.. Dollar a ticket 6 tickets fo
r$5.. maybe include the $35 license fee..
We could also have a "course" on GMRS - include AMRRON and maybe get some
interest in ham radio after playing a while on GMRS.
The VFW riders go on their runs and these would be great for them both on
and off the bikes.

I will bring the HT's to the next meeting for show & tell.. If anyone
wants to try them out before that, call me.
