Hoping for information |
| 23:20 |
<Dartel> |
I am taking my Tech License Test soon and wish to be apart of the Local Skywarn folks any tips as to equipment I should have, |
| 23:27 |
<W8QHV> |
Yay! |
| 23:27 |
<W8QHV> |
I do have a pointer! |
| 23:27 |
<Dartel> |
LOL |
| 23:27 |
<W8QHV> |
Dartel, make sure you get a 2m/70cm dual band radio |
| 23:28 |
<W8QHV> |
it can be single or dual receive |
| 23:28 |
<W8QHV> |
Dual = two frequencies up at once. |
| 23:29 |
<Dartel> |
Was concidering Kenwood TM-D710A, and TS-2000 for base... unless the new yet to be released 590 will replace the 2000 |
| 23:29 |
<W8QHV> |
ok |
| 23:29 |
<W8QHV> |
the TS-2000 is a HF radio |
| 23:29 |
<W8QHV> |
the D710A is excellent because it has a built in TNC |
| 23:30 |
<W8QHV> |
so you can hook it to something to do APRS |
| 23:30 |
<W8QHV> |
which is the ham version of using GPS to track something |
| 23:31 |
<Dartel> |
What do you think about GRLevel2 or 3? |
| 23:31 |
<W8QHV> |
I hear it's great software |
| 23:31 |
<Dartel> |
I bought 2 but still learning it, was told it was best for home and GRLevel3 for Mobile |
| 23:35 |
<W8QHV> |
Sad part is, you pay for both separately |
| 23:36 |
Dartel nods |
| 23:37 |
<Dartel> |
Right now I just have a Radioshack pro-164 scanner, and 8mega pixel camer |
| 23:37 |
<Dartel> |
camera |
| 23:43 |
<Dartel> |
Howdo I register my nickname? |
| 23:44 |
<W8QHV> |
Here? |
| 23:44 |
<W8QHV> |
EFNet doesn't have that, I don't think. |
| 23:44 |
<Dartel> |
Yes |
| 23:44 |
<Dartel> |
Oh |
| 23:44 |
<Dartel> |
Oh NM its Freenode |
