In addition, the main and sub-band audio can be controlled with independent volume and squelch knobs, and received audio can be heard separately when external speakers are connected. Satellite Mode Operation The satellite mode synchronizes the uplink (transmitting) and downlink (receiving) frequencies, and tracks the frequencies in the same tuning step. This function matches both normal and reverse mode satellites. Compensation of the Doppler effect can be performed easily. 20 alphanumeric satellite memory channels store frequencies, mode and tone settings for quick set-up. D-STAR DV Mode (Digital Smart Technology for Amateur Radio) Installed The UT-121 provides D-STAR DV mode digital voice and low speed data communications. Linking of D-STAR repeaters over the Internet allows you to communicate virtually anywhere. In addition to 144MHz, 430/440MH, The D-STAR DV mode can be used on all HF bands in simplex mode. §?D-STAR DR mode operation makes it easy to access D-STAR repeaters §?GPS position reporting functions (External GPS receiver can be connected via data 1 connector. Also, position data can be entered manually.) §?One-touch reply function §?Digital call sign squelch §?Received call sign record §?Automatic received message display RTTY Demodulator and Decoder The built-in RTTY demodulator and decoder allow you to instantly read an RTTY message on the display.

Re: Monday February 13 NABRC Monthly Meeting @ Aiken Regional
A few years ago, I was making regular trips to MUSC in preparation for surgery. On one of my trips, I brought 10 copies of QST. I had blacked out my address. I left them on the tables as I went from department to department. A couple of months later, they were
still there.

Ditto.? Better than throwing them into recycling as I've been doing.
Should the club begin collecting QSTs from members for distribution at proper locations?

Changes to the last draft version:
- Moved Director from Jerry Flanders to Charlie Miller.? Removed "Present" from all attendees. (Thank you Charlie Miller, AE4UX)
- Removed "VP of Augusta Club" from Randy Haupfear.? Now wondering if that was supposed to be somewhere else! (Thank you Randy Haupfear, KO4YKJ).
- Corrected Randy Welsh's last name to be correct! (Thank you Rusty Welsh, KG4HIR)
- Corrected title of January 2023 Minutes (Thank you Rusty Welsh, KG4HIR). Added 2023 Minutes to Resources page.? Unsure how to get them to show in the dropdown on the main page.
- Corrected Callsign for Brooks Berry (Thank you Brooks Berry, KQ4CDE).
- Updated name for WU4C.
- Small formatting correct, vote "seconded by", and timestamp of meeting start.
NOTE: I am unable to determine how to get the "2023 Minutes" link to work on the dropdown.? I'm sure Dave knows, but in the meantime, you'll have to go to the overall Minutes page, and then click "2023 Minutes".
Thank you Charlie, Randy, Rusty, and Brooks for the corrections!? Please let me know if there are any changes necessary for the meeting Monday!
