From PRA: quite possibly the lightest field FT8 setup yet!
|
Very cool tweet from our friends at Parker Radio Association, showing an ultra lightweight FT8 setup perfect for field activations. It includes the super small and light $95 transceiver (sold as a kit, FYI) and free Android-based?. It might be time to pick up a QMX and a cheap Android tablet! Note that the QMX also supports CW and other digital modes with 5 watt maximum output. And since it has a built-in SDR and USB sound card, it should work with just about any computing device other than an iPad, unless someone knows of an iOS FT8 client that works with USB.?
