Re: [DX-CHAT] 60 Meters
Anyone knows if the radio mfgs will be pubilshing instructions/firmware to add the new channel or open up the radio tune the entire band? IIRC, Icom radios can only tune to the existing channels. Not sure about others. Ryan, N2RJ On Sun, Nov 20, 2011 at 8:14 AM, Crownhaven crownha...@bellsouth.netwrote: If anyone is interested, 60 meters now allows 100 watts, SSB, CW, PSK-31 and Pactor III.

Allowing Pactor III on the band seems to affirm the commission's intent that the band be used for emergency and disaster comms.

Re: [DX-CHAT] 60 Meters
Both my TS-440 and TS-850 allow opening up the transmit function to the entire shortwave spectrum (1.8 - 30.0 MHz) by removing a diode. I did this mod to enable 60 meters on both. Do ICOM radios have this feature? 73, Zack W9SZ On Mon, Nov 21, 2011 at 8:09 AM, Ryan Jairam rjai...@gmail.com wrote: Anyone knows if the radio mfgs will be pubilshing instructions/firmware to add the new channel or open up the radio tune the entire band?

Re: [DX-CHAT] 60 Meters
Again, unless I am mistaken, not so fast. The FCC publication was just a release. The Report and Order have not yet been published in the Federal Register and that will be the trigger date for the effective date. I just checked Friday's and today's edition and I did not find them. 73, Doug W4OX On 11/20/2011 10:07 PM, leewi...@aol.com wrote: MY COUNT WOULD BE EFFECTIVE 12:01 AM 18 DECEMBER 2011.

Re: [DX-CHAT] 60 Meters
I was told it would probably be in the Federal Register approximately 15 days after the original FCC announcement. So that puts it some time very early in January that it would take effect. 73, Zack W9SZ On Mon, Nov 21, 2011 at 8:44 AM, Doug McDuff w...@bellsouth.net wrote: ** Again, unless I am mistaken, not so fast.

Re: [DX-CHAT] 60 Meters
There's a 5MHz mod that opens it up completely. I kind of liked how they locked out everything except the channels but I guess now i'll have to be a real ham and be careful. ;) Ryan, N2RJ On Mon, Nov 21, 2011 at 9:37 AM, Zack Widup w9sz.z...@gmail.com wrote: Both my TS-440 and TS-850 allow opening up the transmit function to the entire shortwave spectrum (1.8 - 30.0 MHz) by removing a diode.

Re: [DX-CHAT] 60 Meters
No so fast. If I am not mistaken, this does not become effective until 30 days after it is published in the Federal Register. 73, Doug W4OX On 11/20/2011 1:14 PM, Crownhaven wrote: If anyone is interested, 60 meters now allows 100 watts, SSB, CW, PSK-31 and Pactor III.
