Howard,
The one encouraging thing is they seem to be making progress in resolving
the problem. It remains to be seen whether they will bring it up to TH-D7
standards. Having recently flashed mine to the latest firmware, and with a
good external preamp, it may be time to give it another go.

Whats everyone using for their az / el rotors and
What do you think of them and how trouble free have they been?
I still have to get one .. And its lots of dollars so I wanted it to
Be dollars well spent ..
All I have see is the yaesu ones so far that run with the computer in the

Is the only difference between the "early model" and "more recent model"
the firmware version, or are there other differences? I am curious
because I believe I have the same DJ-G7 version as Drew since I got mine
at Dayton. I have not updated the firmware on mine as I don't have the
computer cable ERW-7 yet. I haven't used my DJ-G7 much on the satellites
except as a TX radio because my impression of the RX (without
transmitting) is that it is not as sensitive as my other two handhelds,
but maybe it is time to upgrade the firmware.

FWIW, Drew and I ran two DJ-G7's in full duplex mode into a comms tests
set,
one was Drew's very early model and mine was a more recent model. We
also
took the opportunity to test a TH-D7.
We ran the tests using AO-51's uplink and downlink frequencies. Drew has
the
actual figures, but as I remember it they were like this:
Early DJ-G7 15dB desense
Later DJ-G7 5dB desense
TH-D7 1dB desense
The test involved adjusting receive signal power until we had a 12dB
SINAD
measurement, first without transmitting then while holding the radio's
PTT.

Hi folks.
If anyone is interested, I am going to activate the following grids on an
upcoming trip:
08/28/09, 1840Z SO-50 EM98-EM99 (WV)
08/28/09, 1935Z AO-27 EM99 (WV)
08/28/09, 2308Z AO-51 EM96 (VA)
The only reasons I can think of why I won't be "there" are traffic-related.
:<(
During the period 08/30 through 09/11 I'll be in EM91 (GA) and will try to
activate that grid a couple of times while there. E-mail me if you need
that grid and I'll send out a private message to give the interested parties
the "heads-up."
QSLing: If I already have your card from the QTH where you work me, I don't
need another one. If not, kindly send me yours via mail. The only time I
need a SASE is if *you* require one from others. Otherwise, if I don't need
your card, just send me an e-mail with the QSO data (including the grid from
which where I worked your stn) and I'll be pleased to drop mine in the
snail-mail to you! I'll mail the QSL cards no later than the week of
09/14/09.
73!

Given that AO27 is 16 years old, how much more life are we expected to get out
of it? Have their been any estimates or predictions made recently?

I have replaced the 7806 and made the modifications you metioned and now
every think is working like a charme :))
