I know it's way too much radio for around here but for an extra $100 I am able to explore this APRS and some other very cool features. Who knows their Fusion might catch on...wishful thinking? They practically give away their digital Yaesu repeaters. I installed the radio yesterday with the help of a friend. Now I will spend some time fiddling around with it.

Rob Sherwood of Sherwood Engineering rates it above the TS590SG and the Flex 3000 though he says "How to rank direct-sampling SDR radios is a real can of worms." - many features - Many many positive reviews. The main negatives I have heard about: - The built-in antenna tuner has limited matching range. - if you are a CW op and like to use QSK, the T/R relay is very noisy if you don't use headphones. Some ops have significantly improved this by covering the relay (easy to get to) with coax seal, but this would void the warranty. - some have complained about noisy fan and fan turn-on when you start transmitting Gess Girard has one.

Message-ID: Guys, As many of you know, I follow vanity callsigns and like to help people get new calls. It is a hobby, like looking at vanity license plates on cars, which I also do. *Here is something that really gets me angry,* listen to this... As you may know, if you change your call you basically lock up your previous call for 2 years so that you can always go back to it. For example; Mark changed his call from K8ZW to AC1CW, Mark has 2 years to reclaim K8CW call. It's a great rule that allows you to get your call back if you have buyers remorse. Unfortunately the FCC does not limit how many of these calls you can lock up. So we end up with CALLSIGN HORDERS. Case in point: There is a ham in Florida named O. Gordon Williamson. Gordon is currently N4TT (a great CW call). Gordon has the following calls tied up: *N4TT* *AB4CQ* *K2ER* *K4FL* *K4IC* *N4VP* *W4WE* He is currently on the list for 2 new Vanity calls this month: *K1US* *K2US* When his 2 years are nearly up on a call, Gordon changes his call back to that call, giving him another 2 years to lock up that call. This really pisses me off ! Here is a list of horders: *http://ae7q.com/query/list/GenClubMulti.php?COUNT=4&SORT=Extra * Tom Alessi Tom at K1TA.com | www.K1TA.com C: (203) 253-7745 | O: (914) 231-1691 | F: (914) 813-4091 *"CW Forever !"* Look for me on 20m, 30m or 40m CW From svj58 at optimum.net Wed May 11 17:03:13 2016 From: svj58 at optimum.net (svj58 at optimum.net) Date: Wed, 11 May 2016 17:03:13 -0400 Subject: [CTSARA] Vanity Callsign HORDING. Message-ID: I agree,and not just because I'm applying for one. There should be a rule or a$! kicking put to the "I got the power" operators. But it's a shame that they have a Amateur radio license and spend all there time changing and tieing up call signs. I personally had to put a lot of thought into applying for a new call sign, I didn't want any old and it had to be"me". I said I won't change it but the one(i only applied for one) that I'm going for is what I want and probably if I get it will never change. ?Just the ramblings of a Amateur radio operator. :) Sent from my Verizon 4G LTE Tablet ------ Original message------From: Tom AlessiDate: Wed, May 11, 2016 8:35 AMTo: gnarc;ctsara Mailman;Cc: Subject:[CTSARA] Vanity Callsign HORDING.

Just so you know! Valid applications are normally processed on the following schedule: 1. Applications are considered "received" on the first Federal workday on or after the day the FCC actually receives them (for online applications, up until 23:59 ET). This means that applications filed on a Federal holiday or weekend are considered to be filed on the next Federal workday. 2. The FCC waits 10 calendar days . During this time, the FCC enters into their computer all paper applications. 3. The FCC waits seven more calendar days. Even if there are no other applicants, the FCC still waits a total of 17 days. 4. On the first Federal workday after 17 days beyond the receipt date, the FCC batches for its nightly processing, all vanity applications with that same receipt date. 5. Early the next morning, between 00:00 & 02:00 ET, that batch of vanity applications with that same receipt date are processed. Duplicate applications are dismissed, and the remaining applications are then processed in a random order (without regard to content, the order or time of day that the application was received, or any other factor). Successful applications are immediately recorded with the current date as the date of license grant. At this point (around 02:00 ET) you can verify in the ULS if your application has been granted, and if so, immediately start using your new call-sign. Your new license grant will usually show up here within minutes of being granted. Note that it will not show up in most other non-FCC databases until at least the FOLLOWING day. 6. Note that FCC no longer automatically prints and mails a copy of your license to you, because your true license is legally the data in the ULS (see FCC rules, US Title 47 CFR ?97.5(a) & US Title 47 CFR ?97.7(a)).

Even though the rain kept about half of the 2500 registered riders home, we had more flats, mechanical breakdowns, and accidents than any two years combined. ANY two years!! Our ham contingent handled it without breaking a sweat - even the times when we had eight or 10 different incidents running and not enough SAG wagons. The amazing thing was that incidents never happen individually - things always went from 15 or 20 minutes of quiet to 15 or 20 minutes of sheer bedlam. Our people worked together well, kept their brains engaged, and got the job(s) done. AND, one of our hams discovered that there is no signal strength from an HT operated inside a standard plastic porta-potty. I smell the makings of a QST article on porta-potty propagation. I would like to thank the following people for their superb work today Andy KB3CZA Bill WG1HM Doug KB1UKC Herb N1KWV John K6WTB Larry W1LAG Laurie KB1SQU Marc KB1YYN Marilyn KB1YYO Mike N1PLH Mike KA1EOU Sam NV1P Steve KB1YLQ Terry W1TSM Terry WA1JBO Toy K1WYQ Fred K1FC Marty KA1WBN Tina KB1UOB Herb (N1KWV), Laurie (KB1SQU), and Marc KB1YYN were newcomers to our merry band of operators and I want to congratulate them on the way they came up the learning curve and quickly became grizzled veterans like the rest of the crew (well, nobody would call Marilyn "grizzled"). I'd like to especially thank Steve KB1YLQ for being our "lonesome end" again - sitting out by himself operating our cross-band repeater which gave us perfectly clear comms from the upper loop, an area too far from the primary repeater. I'd also like to give special thanks to Sam (NV1P) and Terry (WA1JBO) who stayed waaay late to help riders who were still on road after the end of official coverage. And the biggest thanks of all goes to Sam NV1P who always seemed to be on as net control when things dropped into the proverbial handbasket. He stayed cool and kept things moving along. 73 Jon, WB2RYV From jon.perelstein at gmail.com Sun May 22 17:50:34 2016 From: jon.perelstein at gmail.com (Jon Perelstein) Date: Sun, 22 May 2016 17:50:34 -0400 Subject: [CTSARA] Thanks to the Bloomin Metric Hams In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: I'm told that Marilyn also stayed late and helped with those last riders.
