TIDRADIO BL-1 Bluetooth Baofeng Programmer – Flawed Execution, Poor Software

Post author By admin
Post date October 4, 2021

The TIDRADIO bluetooth programmer application is one of the worst aplications I have had to deal with in ham radio. Its odd and makes no sense and completely misses the mark of the inteded audience. It doesn’t query from online repeater sources and doesn’t understand how we program radios.

If you want a good programing cable: https://amzn.to/3Fgesww
Buy a good cable and just CHIRP on a decent laptop.

What is Automatic Packet Reporting System APRS and how to use it on your ham radio

Post author By admin
Post date September 30, 2021

APRS was the first mode of operation that kicked my interest of ham radio into a passion which led ultimately to this channel. Its an impressive mode to use in the field and at home for enhanced communication.

My APRS Videos: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1KAjn5rGhizjRHAK0SsWNnI_qYTh40dB

If you want to try ION2G you can request a BETA license through the first link on their site! Or pay $20.00 for the license which will send you the license automatically.

Steps to make this work:
1. Generally you need a newer radio, like an IC-7300 and a multiband antenna matched to your radio (no tuners).
2.Download ION2G: https://www.ion2g.app/
3. Request a BETA license or purchase a license to support the development effort
NOTE: Buying a license send an automatic license to email
4. Run the application, load the license and code plug (frequency list)
5. Setup your callsign, audio in/out and setup the radio connection
6. Turn on ALE sounding to send your callSet ALC for output audio
