Post date October 3, 2020

A quick #shorts video on my new end fed half wave antenna. As you can see it seems to be a good start, but requires a bit more tuning.

A more in depth video coming soon.

The International Space Station (ISS) is equip with an onboard FM repeater in the amateur radio bands.

I tried listening for the repeater to see if I could hear it on my Icom IC-705.

"The ARISS team is pleased to announce that set up and installation of the first element of our next generation radio system was completed and amateur radio operations with it are now underway"

"Initial operation of the new radio system is in FM cross band repeater mode using an uplink frequency of 145.990 MHz with an access tone [CTCSS] of 67 Hz and a downlink frequency of 437.800 MHz".

Making Contacts and Testing the Icom IC-705 on HF (7 MHz)

Post author By admin
Post date September 15, 2020

Just a short video with some contacts made with my Icom IC-705 on 40 metres (7 MHz).

I was only using the internal battery and the antenna was a half wave end fed wire only a few feet off the ground.

Soon I’ll be upgrading the antenna to allow working on 80m and getting it much higher, but not bad for a first run. You’ll even notice a bit of DX from some US stations.

WSJT-X Setup on the Icom IC-705

Post author By admin
Post date September 9, 2020

The Icom IC-705 has not been added to the official list of radios supported by WSJT-X. In this video however, I will show you how you can set the radio up to work with WSJT-X and perhaps other digital modes.

As of the date of this video, the latest version of WSJT-X is v2.2.2.
https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wsjtx.html

Future releases will no doubt support the IC-705 and when that occurs you will not need to change the CI-V address as per this video however all other settings will still be relevant.

Thanks to Kevin VK4UH on the CI-V setting
