Healthcare.gov Usability

At one point in my life, I thought about using my psychology degree in a field like usability, so I find myself nodding my head in agreement when I read these suggestions to improve healthcare.gov.

HF-One: HF-One MKII Video

Based on this video, the HF-One will connect via RS232 to Ham Radio Deluxe and works like a Yaesu FT-897.

HF One: HF One MKII New & Better Pictures

Some duplicates from earlier but better resolution.

HF-One: HF-One MKII: Serial Port

On a Chinese website, I found this picture of what I think is the HF-One MKII. Looks like a serial port on the back of it. Also, I keep seeing references to "kits." No response from the seller yet, so don't start counting chickens before they are hatched.

And for Hans... is that a shielded banana plug, too?

SO-239 and 9-pin serial for the win!

CCA = TCA

For local guys... it looks like they moved forward with the name change to go with the ownership change from a while back.

Coal Creek Armory is now Tactical Advantage Corp.

On a side note, I went to the range and shot my M&P9 (along my other pistols) a couple of weeks back. So it only took me about 10 months to get to the range after purchasing it. I shot it okay, but I was still better with my CZ 75 SP-01.

Budgets

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

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

Hans is about to get his hands on the VGC (Vero Telecom) VR-6600P. Lots of pictures - go look.

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.
