KD8JBF Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Ham Radio Hangout Welcome to the Ham Radio Hangout! I have stumbled across several amateur radio operators here in the forums, and figure it would be a great place to get everyone together to see who all is a member of S4GRU that has their ticket! If it's your first time visiting please post your name, call sign and License class. Any other information you would like to share is optional. I'm working on creating a log of all Hams here on the site. Thanks! 73's de KD8JBF Kris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kg4icg Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Well you already know me, and where I'm at. APRS strong every time I drive. By the way just picked up a BCD536HP this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD8JBF Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 Well you already know me, and where I'm at. APRS strong every time I drive. By the way just picked up a BCD536HP this weekend. I just picked up a couple of SDR USB FOBs to play around with. They are pretty cool and some low end spectrum analyzers. It's amazing the range they have on them from about 40Mhz up to 1800Mhz....I need to replace the Crystal in them because they are not temp compensated and are really only good for wideband listening. they're good for +/- 100ppm drift from frequency which isn't nice for narrowband operations (Which i want to use to listen to police, fire, etc on 800Mhz. So i'll replace those as a nice weekend project. but the fobs were only $20 a pop. picked up two. Nice fun project. Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kg4icg Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Believe it or not, still have my AOR AR5000 that I've had since 1996, and that thing still works like a beast. One of the best receivers I ever picked up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joski1624 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 My local club is setting up two stations at separate locations. Not sure if I'll operate, but I'll try to pop my head in for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xdfgf Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Thinking about picking up one of the Baofeng units off amazon for some passive listening before I attempt to get my license. If its something that grabs me I'll go whole hog and get my license Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshnys8913 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Joski1624 wow I guess you were right, this did die off quite a long time ago. For some reason I don't even remember this even came up, probably because this site was way more active back then and it was hard to keep up on all of the conversations.

kg4icg Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I forgot about it to, and yes I'm still licensed, about to renew. 20 year mark next June. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
