Re: [digitalradio] IICOM IC-735

An Icom 735 is being used at the Holland ARC club station, and it is definitely good enough for PSK31 and the other modes. It has CI-V as well, so apps with rig control features will work with it. One note: if you use the ACC-1 jack for your soundcard interface, disconnect the mic when working

PSK modes are great on noisy channels. But what about DX channels where you have doppler and other ionospheric modulation? Also, I pulled out some old data from the 1980s that I ran (I saw it being run and copied the data) and am wondering about it. On a 100 mile NVIS path (using the ionospheric

Dont recognize the model number. But I have a Lil Rascal which I used before. It does NOT key CW, unless you simply use audio output from the computer to send out on a SSB signal to send MCW. It will not key the regular CW jack of the rig. I used it also for AFSK, and dont think there is a way t

The trade off that I see is that we either have a few (very few) new entrants who are highly motivated and likely to continue with amateur radio for a lifetime, or we have many new entrants, with a relatively simple entrance requirement, but only a few will stay with it. But a lot more, than yo

Andrew, I dont understand why you chose to publish dial frequencies. When using spots, the spot frequency should ALWAYS be the ACTUAL frequency which is the dial frequency + the audio frequency. That way, if you spot someone on PSK 14.0712, and I click on the spot, my rig (no matter what my offse
