I’m taking a 10,000 FT look at three types of ham radio programing software. There’s so much to unpack here that a quick overview is 20 minutes. We’re looking at RTSystems software, Yaesu’s ADMS-14 package and CHIRP. The radio I’m using is the new Yaesu FT5.
You can pickup the software at:

The Arizona Summit-to-Summit 10 Point Madness event provides a great opportunity to push the limits of 2m simplex and see what’s possible over long distances. Although I didn’t set any new personal records on this trip, some great contacts were made and plenty of fun was had.
The yagi is a homebrew design made from U-channel aluminum, steel hardware, and arrow shaft elements. The matching network is made from parallel 1/4 wavelength sections of 75 ohm coax to transform the 28 ohm yagi impedance up to 50 ohms. Those coax sections are wound a few times through a toroid as a common mode choke.
The boom is about 8 ft in length when extended and folds down to 32 inches. total weight of the antenna is about 2 lbs, and the pool cleaning pole mast adds another 2 lb or so.
Today we’re trying a new kind of live stream. We’re taking the Baofeng UV5R and we’re going to go from absolute beginner to some of the advanced used cases you might want to use. NOTE: the things we cover will work the same or similar with other Chinese radios.

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
7. Set "ALE Self Address" to your callsign for each ALE network you are on.

This is our weekly FT8 Sprint where we try to make as many contacts as possible in 1 hour. I say "try" because mostly we get distracted and talk about squirrels. Conquer the Bands, but be polite about it!
