I noticed Amazon has an interesting deal on the TIDRADIO TD-H3 for Prime Day. Does anyone have experience with these? I was drawn to USB-C charging and Bluetooth programming from your smartphone. Under $30/radio in sets of two so easy to stash in a go kit.

If anyone is interested the NEAR900 900 mhz Net at 9pm is taking early check ins right now. You can access it either thru any of the 900 mhz repeaters or via Echolink using W1ATD-L or AllStar Node 60635. 73 Matt NA1Q

Hi everyone, I have a new PC and I have tried every u-tube video and cannot get the ports/comp folder to show up in the Device Manager. If anyone can walk me through their solution I'd appreciate it. Be happy to bring my computer to you if that helps. I am trying to set up FT8 and Winlink and having difficult time.

Hi everyone, In light of the FCC Docket 24-240 which is the attack on the 900 Mhz band by NextNav, I would encourage fellow amateurs to try out the 900 Mhz band. And you can do it without getting expensive radios, all you need is Echolink on your computer, tablet, cellphone, or even an I-pod (I use an I-pod Touch when not using the cellphone) The NEAR900 group has 16 900 Mhz repeaters linked across New England. The closest ones to us are Cumberland RI and Wrentham MA. Outside of that, there is the lovely repeater in Marshfield MA, W1ATD which has a Echolink connection W1ATD-L listed under Links in the Echolink station list. Now I hear folks say Echolink isn't real radio, it's a mix of internet interconnection between hams and repeaters using a system similar to IRLP. So if you're not doing anything Thursday evenings, check in to the NEAR900 net at 9pm Eastern Time. Early check-ins start around 8:30-ish, and someone is usually around to take early check ins. Give you an idea, I've seen between 29 to 40 check ins on average this summer. After a taste of this band, I made a inexpensive investment (under $70.00) of a Retevis RT-10 1W Analog/DMR FM 1 watt handheld. This is the most inexpensive way on to the band, other than used commercial gea, and kind of interesting as 900 Mhz 33cm band functions like the 70cm band. 73 Matt NA1Q

FYI- Please forward this to any young person who may be interested. (Sent to us by Mike Cullen-K1NPT) Dear Rhode Island Medical Reserve Corps Members, I wanted to take a moment to remind you of the exciting opportunity available through our Junior Medical Reserve Corps (JMRC) Program.

He lives in Cumberland and I don't understand what he needs, but I'm sure someone can help... I bought a Baofeng UV-5RM radio last week and I read that some of them have harmonics that exhibit harmonics that are outside of FCC limits. I was wondering if you know anyone on the BVARC, with a spectrum analyzer who might be able to help me test this radio. Thanks and enjoy the day, Ernie Labbe 12 Tanglewood Drive Cumberland, RI 02864 401.744.7787 evlabbe@... ernie.labbe@... elabbe@... KC1RDJ

Hi everyone. Well big business is at it again, and we need to band together and tell the FCC that the proposed RM-11989 Docket 24-240 is another band frequency grab by a licensee (remember 220-222 Mhz?) that has not done anything but extend construction periods over the last 24 years, but now the want to kick the secondary users off and instead of sticking with their 1 big slice of the 900 mhz, the want the 2 sections of the band they haven't used, but amateur radio operators use for repeater inputs and outputs, requesting that all other secondary users move out of spectrum that has been allocated by the ITU at WARC-1979 and in use by amateurs since 1985, because they bought the spectrum license in 2000. Spread the word, there's a network of over 16 linked repeaters on New England alone (NEAR900 Network) and hundreds of 900 mhz repeaters in Amateur use around the country. We have to act quickly on this, Comments have to be received by September 5th, 2024 and Replies to Comments by September 20th, 2024. Attached is the PDF of the Docket. 73 Matt NA1Q PUBLIC NOTICE Federal Communications Commission 45 L Street, NE Washington, D.C. 20554 News Media Information 202 / 418-0500 Internet: https://www.fcc.gov TTY: 1-888-835-5322 DA 24-776 Released: August 6, 2024 WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS BUREAU AND OFFICE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY SEEK COMMENT ON NEXTNAV PETITION FOR RULEMAKING WT Docket No. 24-240 RM-11989 Comments Due: September 5, 2024 Reply Comments Due: September 20, 2024 NextNav Inc. (NextNav) filed a petition for rulemaking requesting that the Commission initiate a proceeding to reconfigure the 902-928 MHz band (Lower 900 MHz Band) and adopt new rules to enable the deployment of a 5G terrestrial positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) network that “complements and backs up” the U.S. Global Positioning System (GPS).1 By this Public Notice, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB) and the Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) jointly seek comment on NextNav’s Petition. Background. In 1995, the Commission established the Location and Monitoring Service (LMS) in the 902-928 MHz band, defining two types of LMS systems: multilateration LMS (M-LMS) and non- multilateration LMS (non-M-LMS), that share the band with a variety of other users under a hierarchy of spectrum usage rights.2 The Lower 900 MHz Band is divided into sub-bands: two for use by M-LMS, two for non-M-LMS, and one for both types of LMS systems shared on a co-equal basis.3 The band is used for a diverse range of operations, both federal and non-federal, and is allocated on a primary basis to both federal radiolocation systems and industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) equipment.4 Federal fixed __________ 1 NextNav Petition for Rulemaking, Enabling Next-Generation Terrestrial Positioning, Navigation, and Timing and 5G: A Plan for the Lower 900 MHz Band (902-928 MHz) at i (filed Apr. 16, 2024). NextNav also filed a supplement proposing specific part 90 rule revisions. Letter from Robert Lantz, General Counsel, NextNav Inc., to Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary, FCC (filed June 7, 2024) (jointly referred to as “Petition”). 2 See generally Amendment of Part 90 of the Commission’s Rules to Adopt Regulations for Automatic Vehicle Monitoring Systems, PR Docket No. 93-61, Report and Order, 10 FCC Rcd 4695 (1995). LMS systems use non- voice radio techniques to determine the location and status of mobile radio units. 3 47 CFR § 90.357. 4 Id. §§ 2.106, 18.301, 18.111(c). ISM equipment is defined as “equipment or appliances designed to generate and use locally RF energy for industrial, scientific, medical, domestic or similar purposes, excluding applications in the field of telecommunication.” Id. § 18.107(c). Federal Communications Commission DA 24-776 and mobile services are allocated on a secondary basis to federal radiolocation systems and ISM equipment.5 LMS licenses are allocated on a secondary basis to federal users and ISM devices.6 Amateur radio operations are allocated on a secondary basis to LMS.7 Part 15 unlicensed devices also operate in the band,
