I don't need a radio to talk to friends, and in fact I could argue
pretty persuasively that I have more varied and interesting friends
outside of ham radio than within it. Ham radio does, however, give me
the opportunity to learn more about electronics ... and antennas ... and
propagation .
Gents,
Find some friends. Talk to them.
The radio is secondary.
Throw up some antennas. Test them.
See what they can do. Talk to your friends.
Buy the best radio you think you can afford and enjoy it.
Take care of your wife and kids.
Stop going so beserk about the radios.
They are nothing more

Hi to the group.
I have given up on getting the software for FLDIGI to work so I can read the
frequency of the KX3 and still send KY commands to the KX3. I can't find any
place to report my problem and I have spent hours searching on the internet.
They have an option that puts out a keyed audio
but what is the best mike for My k3, K2 Kx3

Is the PA temperature correct in the menu? Do the PA Temperature

off until everything is at room temperature, then power on and enter the

There are no social media functions included in the proposed design, so
what's your point? If you're implying that product design is not
important to radio amateurs, you're sorely mistaken. A prime example is
Icom, which has sold thousands of the IC-7800, IC-7600 and IC-756Pro
series rigs prima
I see NO correlation between Amateur Radio "On Air" and Faceplant, text

would prompt me to spend money on an "eye candy" box such as this.
Completing the P3 should be a higher priority I would hope as it is still a
