Hi all, 
I had to drop off the face of the earth due to some health problems that did get fixed so I'm back on my feet now.  I'd love the opportunity to reconnect with y'all tomorrow, so could someone tell me again where we meet for food before the meeting?  And what time?

And also, I'm moving apartments, and my destination is Alexandria!  So long Fairfax!  Do any of you have any reccomendations for reasonably priced, antenna friendly apartment communities?

Thanks, 
Lara

Lara,

We meet at the Chicken Out on the corner of Washington St and Franklin St at 6 PM.

As for apartments, I lived in what used to be the Hamlets North, which is on Beauregard St near Seminary Rd.   They have changed names and look like they have been fixed up a bit.  They were OK when I lived there.  Its on the AT2 bus line and easy to get to Metro.  The only real downside was the electric forced air heat.  really cold weather meant a real high electric bill.  

Also, check out the places across Duke St from Shooters.  

Rich, KA4GFY

Message-ID: <20100112151220.58614scbphtc8wsg@mgtmail.com>

ALCON,

It has been some time since I posted onto this list, and even longer  
since I have been able to come to a meeting or Monday night informal  
dinner. I do most certainly miss everyone from the club. Happy New  
Year to everyone!

In August I bought an IC-92AD (and its associative RS-92  
Software/Cable package) but did not have time to really play with it  
until now (I know, I know..."so bad ham of me").

I used "CHIRP" to export into CSV format all of the "Band A" and "Band  
B" frequencies in the radio (I was told the RS-91 Software does not  
have any import/export to CSV capability).

The RS-92 software has an "import/export" function that was "greyed  
out" on my copy when I tried it. I am using version "1.1" of the RS-92  
software from an original ICOM CD. Has anyone had a similar such  
experience?

There is also a version "1.0" of the RS-92 Software, but I do not  
have, nor have I seen that version at all.

I have a ticket open with ICOM on this issue, and they are also going  
to look at both variants of the software.

All-

I am trying to beacon non-standard data with an Open Tracker, does anyone have any experience with this?

 

I am also looking for rules for using simplex repeaters on GMRS or FRS.

 

Any thoughts?
