Post date October 28, 2023

The journey to space was real as St Peter-In-Thanet CE Primary School connected with a LIVE uplink to astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli aboard the International Space Station (NA1SS) using Ham Radio.

I sat down with Matt M0MLK and daughter Isabella to discuss how the contact went, questions asked and advice on how other schools can get involved.

It has Multi GNSS satellite constellation receiver support, comes with an active antenna with 2m of coax and a Serial to USB converter.

SSB on the Quansheng UV-K5?

Post author By admin
Post date October 2, 2023

I came across this video from W2NDG which shows the UV-K5 and a firmware mod running single sideband (SSB) on 17 meters. Check it out, pretty cool!

So I loaded the firmware myself to have a play with this mod which are listed below. If you get this mod working, let me know in the comments below how you did, the firmware version and model of Quansheng.

Almost…On The Air!

Post author By admin
Post date October 1, 2023

Repeaters on this band get insane distance (worldwide) coverage. I’m documenting my build of my 10 meter repeater VK7RHF on 29.680 MHz.

The input is 29.580 MHz and uses a tone of 91.5 Hz.
It is a voted system using multiple receivers over IP/AllstarLink. Here is more info on how that system works:

SETUP Your Icom IC-7300 for WSJT-X/FT8 – EASY Beginners Guide

Post author By admin
Post date September 28, 2023

In this tutorial I walk you through the step-by-step process of configuring your Icom IC-7300 for seamless operation with WSJT-X and popular digital modes like FT8. These are my personal radio settings that I use for use with FT8, WSPR and other modes that have proven to help me make thousands of contacts in WSJT-X, ensuring you get the most out of your IC7300.

Icom IC-7300 USB driver 👉 https://www.icomjapan.com/support/firmware_driver/1974/

Level up your Icom IC-7300 here 👉 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSuX83ay4OujxQFBseO9-dQCY6NOdBwXt

⏱️Chapters⏱️
0:00 Setup your IC-7300 for WSJT-X
0:24 Radio Settings
2:48 USB Drivers
3:33 COM Port and USB Audio
5:17 WSJT-X Settings
7:35 Adjusting RX Audio Level
8:07 Set your Filters WIDE

Additional notes:
The baudrate you use in WSJT-X is dependant on if CI-V USB Port is set to Unlink from [Remote] or Link to [Remote].

Link to [Remote] = Use the CI-V Baud Rate on Page 1 of the CI-V menu
Unlink from [Remote = Use the CI-V USB Baud Rate on Page 2 of the CI-V Menu
