I fail to see how this is ham radio related….
These messages should be stopped
For sale ham item is expected

Re: [BVARC] extra exam.

What question is that on the ham exam???
I was taught Balun was a acronym for Balanced to Unbalanced.

Re: [BVARC] extra exam.

[David Hold via BVARC]

Look at exam questions from 20 years ago … their was much less electronics
on the extra exam in 2000

Hate to say it but questions are published so just learn the answers ….  I
learned a few that way ….  If questions had this set of numbers it was
C-3200

Maybe I was just practiced enough online to pass tech, general and extra on
1 try.

Re: [BVARC] A little help please

[David Hold via BVARC]

Google says:  capacity i / operate tempature is difference


TLDR

Br- -30C to 80C 165ma
Cr- -30C to 60C 225ma

To get operational at higher temp you give up capacity

Articles cited:

*BR2325's operating temperature is -30°C~80°C, while CR2032 is -30°C~60°C*.
The voltage of BR2325 and CR2032 are all 3V. The capacity of BR2325 and
CR2032 are not the same. The capacity of BR2325 is 165mAh, while the CR2032
is 225mAh.




CR type batteries are slightly less robust than the BR type when exposed to
temperatures at the high end of the operating temperature range and can
experience a rapid increase in self-discharge at the high end of its
temperature rating.

Re: [BVARC] Lidoradio LM-WEDGE CAR SEAT CONSOLE WEDGE MOUNT-$25

[David Hold via BVARC]

Apologies it was ham related.

I have seen earlier this week a washer and dryer for sale….. that is
definitely NOT ham radio related.

I will bet …. If you ohm out the negative post and chassis you will find
out they are the same.
 If so just take negative to ground rod or wire under a chassis screw to
ground.

Re: [BVARC] Flex 6400 for Sale

[David Hold via BVARC]

price to transfer the warranty is $89

to a buyer i would weigh the savings of not getting the full 2 year
warranty by transfer the warranty of a used radio
vs buying new to get the full 2 year warranty.

[BVARC] Voice id on digital voice modes - m-17, Echolink, etc

[David Hold via BVARC]

I heard 2 hams last night talk for 60 minutes on m-17 via DroidStar. They
never did any voice IDs.

Is it not required to give a voice id anymore
I can understand that the app shows the callsign so I can see that it would
not be necessary.

But I would think that m-17 like EchoLink would be rebroadcast on some
terrestrial repeaters that those listening on that repeater would
expect some voice id of those hams.

Suggestion for try out questionable equipment

Try a light dimmer switch to an GFIC outlet  with your amp on one plug of
outlet and a multimeter on the other side of the outlet.

Re: [BVARC] Mail forwarding services?

[David Hold via BVARC]

Remember if fcc sends you a letter and it gets returned undeliverable... they 
can revoke or susspend your license.  Really not a problem that you need to 
hide your physical address unless you plan to squirrel the bands and want to 
hide.

§97.23 Mailing address.
Each license grant must show the grantee's correct name and mailing address. 
The mailing address must be in an area where the amateur service is regulated 
by the FCC and where the grantee can receive mail delivery by the United States 
Postal Service. Revocation of the station license or suspension of the operator 
license may result when correspondence from the FCC is returned as 
undeliverable because the grantee failed to provide the correct mailing address.

Follow any app that uses the Koch method.

Unfortunately some people will not give up an old email address.

The only solution is get a gmail address for the mail list.Create a

If from bvarc@bvarc.org and does not have an attachment. Fwd it to the ev1

Unfortunately gmail will not fwd and strip attachments

Re: [BVARC] Fm transmitter for Easter service

[David Hold via BVARC]

I would try to look into a 70v multi speaker setup 

- church - may already have the amp in use for intercom 
So all u would need to do is do the speakers a few to each row of cars.

Benefits lower volume per speaker so more intelligible less echo

I am no suggesting a setup like a drive in theater 1 speaker per car

But maybe 
Row 1   2 speakers in middle facing the ends
Skip a row 
Then same on row 3 5 7 9

 Why not use a service monitor. An IFR or equivalent will cover the FM
 band,   I don't know it it will modulate to 75 kHz without distorting so
 you have to turn the receiver up a bit.  I don't know what size of parking
 but I suggest an antenna cut to frequency  up 15 or 20 feet  or you might
 try a mobile mag mount stuck to a pipe vertical. it will be short but has a
 coil in the base that will extend it. Make sure it has something metal to
 mount to to.

 I defiantly think you need a run through with enough time for a redo.

 As far as the FCC is concerned you are a pirate station and illegal.
 As far as I know under part 15 you can run a low power AM transmitter but
 no provisions for the FM band.  It is quite common though for translated
 audio in services and such with no enforcement action if there is no
 interference to anyone.  Choose your frequency by listening carefully,

 I expect a full parking lot will be different RF wise from an empty,
 Get that antenna in the air, you will need the margin.

 Call me if I can help, let me know how it went. Good luck and may god
 bless your service..

 Okay, maybe they aren’t “turning the dial” quite like the old days, but
 if you want your display to be heard, you need an FM transmitter.. Even

 Marty,

 I've read the same thing - somewhere - but I can't find anything
 permitting it in the regs, so I don't know if it's true.  If it is, I
 imagine it would be for things like bluetooth devices that are designed to
 pump spotify from your phone through your car's radio.  If so, I'd suspect
 that "100 feet" is a dreamy maximum, and that it would sound terrible in
 the real-life scenario you describe.

 But as always, FleaBay to the rescue: a 6-watt FM transmitter!  For
 just a hundred bucks, you can start your very own pirate radio station
 anywhere on the commercial FM dial.  This thing should provide nice, punchy
 audio to your entire church's congregation.  Very, very illegal, though.
