Happy New Year!

I am offering 3 radios for sale at great prices. They are large, and heavy
to ship, so I would like to sell them locally with pick-up in Old Bridge.. I
can demo them at my QTH as well. These are from the estate of silent key
WB2HEK. They have been checked and work  well.

I would appreciate it if everyone would pass this around to as many local
hams as possible!

Radio 1: Yaesu FT-1000MP. All filters installed. Supplied with an
aftermarket mike. Included is an SP-102B speaker. NOTE: This radio has a '
lazy ' power supply. After turning it on, it takes a minute or 2 to come up
to full voltage. The more I use it, the better it gets. ( It had not been
used in a long while ).  Note that the MP can also be used with an external
12v supply by moving an internal jumper. Asking $750.00.

Radio 2: Yaesu ft-726, 6M / 2M / 432 All-Mode + satellite. 10watts on each
band. Built-in power supply. Asking $250.00

Radio 3: Ten-Tec Omni VI plus with all filters, desk mike and hand mike. A
Kenwood SP-70 external speaker is included. Asking $400.00 

Photos of these radios can be viewed at: mcgriff.smugmug.com, in the ham
radio folder.

Subject: DMR Options

Happy New Year to all!

     This is being sent to those already into DMR (Digital Mobile Radio), and those who may be considering it.  If you're considering a new DMR HT, there are some good, inexpensive options.  Before discussing those, let me say that Motorola radios are excellent and durable.  They are, however, not inexpensive.  And, unlike the other companies, Motorola charges a premium to lease their programming software in three-year increments.  If your heart desires a Motorola and your pocket can bear it, then go for it and you will enjoy high quality radios.

     For those who have not yet experienced DMR, let me say that it is probably the simplest way of all the digital modes to communicate locally, statewide, regionally, throughout North America and worldwide, using only a handheld radio.  The programming is a bit tedious and time-consuming, but once programmed, these radios could not be easier to use (far simpler than D-STAR, Fusion, EchoLink and IRLP - - and I use all of these except Fusion).  

     The more cost efficient options are Hytera, Connect Systems and TYT (a.k.a. Tytera - - not to be confused with Hytera).  Hytera Radios are high quality commercial radios.  They are equal to or better than Motorola in all respects.  They are well built, durable and have quality audio in and out, Hytera radios are Front Panel Programmable (for a limited number of channels). They sell for a good bit less than Motorola, noticeably more than TYTera and only slightly more than Connect Systems radios.  The top-of-the-line Connect Systems HT is Front Panel Programmable.  So, here are some suggested radios to check out:

Hytera X1P:    http://nebula.wsimg.com/19eef4225d41978418c7aabd336b3256?AccessKeyId=9D203D89A80D8EA0ECAE&disposition=0&alloworigin=1

Hytera PD362:   https://www.gigaparts.com/hytera-pd362-dmr-handheld-radio.html

*  Note:  If you purchase a Hytera radio, be sure to purchase from a ham-friendly dealer, such as TA Radios (taradios.com), or Gigaparts (gigaparts.com).  Also be sure that the dealers includes the wideband option, which is installed by the dealer.  TA Radios will send you the radio with this feature enabled.  Gigaparts requires you to download the modification and do it yourself after purchase.

ARLB002 FCC Dismisses Two Petitions from Radio Amateurs

The FCC has turned down two petitions filed in 2016, each seeking similar
changes in the Part 97 Amateur Service rules. James Edwin Whedbee, N0ECN, of
Gladstone, Missouri, had asked the Commission to amend the rules to reduce
the number of Amateur Radio operator classes to Technician, General, and
Amateur Extra by merging remaining Novice class licensees into the
Technician class and all Advanced class licensees into the Amateur Extra
class. In a somewhat related petition, Jeffrey H. Siegell, WB2YRL, of Burke,
Virginia, had requested that the FCC grant Advanced class license holders
Morse code operating privileges equivalent to those enjoyed by Amateur Extra
class licensees.

"Thus, Mr. Siegell's proposed rule change is subsumed within the changes Mr.
Whedbee requests, so our analysis is the same for both proposals," the FCC
said in dismissing the two petitions on January 5.

The FCC streamlined the Amateur Radio licensing system into three classes -
Technician, General, and Amateur Extra - in 1999. While it no longer issues
new Novice or Advanced class licenses, existing licenses can be renewed, and
Novice and Advanced licensees retained their operating privileges.

"The Commission concluded that the three-class structure would streamline
the licensing process, while still providing an incentive for licensees to
advance their communication and technical skills,"
the FCC recounted in its dismissal letter to Whedbee and Siegell. It
specifically rejected suggestions that Novice and Advanced class licensees
be automatically upgraded to a higher class, concluding that it would be
inappropriate for these licensees to "receive additional privileges without
passing the required examination elements." The FCC cited the same reason in
2005, when it denied requests to automatically upgrade Technician licensees
to General class and Advanced licensees to Amateur Extra class, as part of a
wide-ranging proceeding.

The FCC said the two petitions "do not demonstrate, or even suggest, that
any relevant circumstances have changed that would merit reconsideration of
those decisions."

Whedbee had argued that automatically upgrading current Novice and Advanced
classes would simplify the rules and reduce the Commission's costs and
administrative burden, but the FCC said Whedbee provided no evidence that an
administrative problem exists.
"Moreover, such benefits would not outweigh the public interest in ensuring
that amateur operators have the requisite incentive to advance their skill
and technical knowledge in order to contribute to the advancement of the
radio art and improvement of the Amateur Radio Service," the FCC said.

"The Commission has already concluded that it will not automatically grant
additional privileges to the discontinued license classes,"
the FCC said. "Consequently, we conclude that the above-referenced petitions
for rulemaking do not warrant further consideration at this time."

There is a lot written about this state of consciousness. It is referred to as ?being in the zone? or Buddhists might describe it as a state of mindfulness. In this state, you are fully immersed in whatever you?re doing, time slows down, and you are at an optimum level of clarity and focus.

Dear Drew,

 

We're pleased to tell you that Director Lisenco has approved the application
of the Raritan Valley Radio Club to hold an ARRL approved hamfest in
Piscataway, NJ on June 17, 2017.

 

As part of your agreement in becoming an ARRL-affiliated event, please
remember to prominently display the ARRL diamond when promoting the event on
web sites, in e-mails, advertisements and all other program material.  The
ARRL logo can be obtained from www.arrl.org/logos-photos
<http://www.arrl.org/logos-photos> .

 

Approximately three weeks prior to the event, I will send prize certificates
for ARRL publications to be used as door prizes.  To order other materials
available at low- or no-cost to help represent ARRL membership and Amateur
Radio recruitment, including brochures, hanging and standing banners,
tabletop displays, table throws, and other giveaways (pens, magnets and
stickers), please visit www.arrl.org/shop/Forms-and-Media-Warehouse/
<http://www.arrl.org/shop/Forms-and-Media-Warehouse/> .  For effective
coordination of ordering these materials and organizing the ARRL exhibit,
you may want to contact your ARRL Division Director or ARRL Section Manager.


 

Good Luck!  We wish you the best for a successful event.

 

Let us know if there is anything else we can do to help with your hamfest
plans.
