Steve K3FZT, I haven't had any bites from the PWA people even thou Paul was VP maybe 10 yrs ago. Since Paul can't make it to the Warminster hamfest (May 4th), I'm giving him $300 for the radio and the PDN cable set plus the CS-750 radio (DMR HT that we horse traded back and fourth years ago). The 64 dollar question here... is there anyone else out there that wants to scoop up a deal on the FTM-300 radio before the hamfest in May?? My primary interest in Fusion is to get a fixed "internet only" room setup with that extra HRI-200 and an FTM-100 radio. (That and a computer are all I'll need) The FTM-300 radio would be overkill for that setup.

I love mine and use it as my primary VHF/UHF digital mode radio. The fan base is likely unnecessary unless in use as a WIRES-X node for a repeater or possibly as a portable HRI node at high power for wider area coverage with a typical outdoor 2M antenna than a typical residence application.

This is a long shot as a last-minute invite. My apologies. But a lot of details had to be settled. You may be familiar with these trucks that show up at disasters to provide technology assistance to Red Cross DST team and other volunteers. When not deployed, it appears at events to educate our youth about disaster support through technology. It will be parked in Princeton University, Princeton, NJ this coming Saturday, March 15th from 9 AM to about 5 PM as part of an annual student STEM conference. You can drop by anytime during that interval. I wanted to extend an invitation to you both to stop by and the meet the IEEE Move team. All Move volunteers, like myself, have to be RC Disaster Services members. The three trucks are located in three corners of US but, one or all three will head to a disaster site upon request from RC NHQ. Here is a link to their recent deployments. https://move.ieeeusa.org/news/ You can also point to anyone else I can extend the invite to. IEEE Move founders, Grayson and Mary Ellen Randall will be there in person as keynote speakers on Hunmaitarian Technology support. Happy to answer any question you may have. Thank You! Hope you can stop By. Visit our Year in Review page for highlights of Red Cross service delivery in New Jersey.

The internet security certificate has apparently expired on the home page and several other pages. http://arrl.org/ I've looked at the ARRL Store where you purchase T-shirts, Mugs and of course the Books. The certificate for the store page does have a current certificate that was purchased on Thursday a week ago and remains current until December 23rd, 2025. https://home.arrl.org/action/Shop/Store That's very important to know since Cyber Monday is tomorrow and I'm sure will see our inbox jammed with all kinds of online deals.
