Budgets

I always suspected, but now I know how budgets are created.

Vero Telecom VR-6600P: Pic

The VGC (Vero Telecome) VR-6600P looks good.

HF-One: HF-One MKII QRP HF Mobile

Thanks to Riku for sending me the link to the HF-One MKII 10 W HF radio. Details are limited, but here is what the listing says you get for your $300 (plus shipping):

- 100K--30MHz rx and tx in all band amateur radio band under 30MHz.
- output max:10W
- mode:ssb /CW
- with SDR
- AUTOKEY build in.
- audio REC build in.

Here is where it gets interesting for me. These images looks like the SDR could be controlled by your iPhone or iPad.

The radio looks very familiar to me. And I'm going to be surprised if there is an app for that - controlling the radio. I've e-mailed the seller to see what else I can find out.

Domestic Enemies: The Reconquista - Free Kindle Edition

Good read plus free = win! Apparently he was giving the whole series away free, but I missed the first one. That's okay for me as I already own it, but sorry for the late notice for those who like my recommendations in books.

I'll have to get the last one (Foreign Enemies And Traitors) when it becomes free on the 28th.

Wouxun KG-UV950P: Programming

Here I add a repeater into a memory channel. There really isn't much to it.

Updated: Just adding a note to thank BuyTwoWayRadios for loaning me this radio with absolutely no restrictions or demands on what I do with it or what I write about it. First class!

What's in a name?

I was able to get my gmail address very early on - it is just my lastname@gmail.com. People use my address to sign up for all sorts of things - car rentals, apartment repairs, pizza orders, dating sites, etc.

For the Toolbox

Here is another great item for your toolbox... Silver Sharpies. They are great for a variety of uses. For one, I mark the various power supplies for my HT radios. No more matching plugs to make sure I have the right wall wart for the UV-5R or UV-3R.

I also use them for my magazines. Since all the magazines look a like, it is important to have an easy way to identify one that starts having problems.
