I discovered this with my 910H. If you compare the schematic with an older
Icom transceiver, say the IC-756, you will notice that the voltage divider
on pin 8 decreases the audio on that pin by a factor of about 50 from the
IC-756!
I thought of two "cures":
1. Modify the radio by replacing the offending resistor.
2. Modify my headset by bringing the line that would go to pin 8 outside the
mic connector and run it to a 1/4" phone plug.
I chose 2. I plug the phone plug into the nearby headphone jack when I use
the headset, or pull it out to use the speaker. Works on both my 910 and
756.
I was told by a person at Heil that Icom made that change to better use a
TNC with the mic connector on the 910.

Hey Gary,
Thanks for this report. I had a pass of FO-29 on Saturday evening virtually
all to myself - or, rather, I didn't hear any other stations, and no one
answered my CQ. If you are referring to the pass that came down the east coast
from the north a little before 11 p.m., local time, last night, that was the
same pass I had no contacts on Saturday evening. I learned later that there
was one other station on the pass, and he worked someone in South America as
FO-29 moved south. By then, I had switched over to VO-52 and at least had a
contact. I thought about trying that pass last night, but didn't because of
Saturday night.
One of the primary reasons I have been doing some research/testing on power
levels and gear that is acceptable for satellite operation (and posting what
I've learned here) is because I sense that many amateurs don't try the
satellites because they perceive it to be a game that requires specialized
gear that carries a fairly high price tag. Nothing could be further from the
truth. Admittedly, I have bought used radios exclusively in setting up my
station. That being said, however, my station is capable of working all the
available satellites and modes, and it features computer control for Doppler
tuning. I have well under $2,000 invested, and my station includes a "spare"
radio. That is, I have picked up two used FT-817NDs and a used FT-857D.
The bottom line is that many hams already have the radio gear they need to
work any of the available satellites. They might have to buy or homebrew an
antenna, but that's probably about it. That's not much of an expense to add
"space radio" to the mix at any station - and add it effectively. I suspect
many folks believe they need az/el rotors, computer control, all of that. No
... the don't NEED it. Certainly, those things would be nice to have here at
my shack. But I don't have them, and I'm still working all of the satellites
effectively enough to have 49 states and four continents in the log and
confirmed - and I'm enjoying it immensely.
I hope to hear you on the satellites soon, and I look forward to working you
in CW. I've always enjoyed it, and there is something really special to me
about using a straight key to work another station in CW over a satellite.
That's definitely a "mixed metaphor" of technology - the old and the new -
that is amazing.
73 to all,
Tim - N3TL

It is sad and shocking to know that Robert is no more. I remember meeting
him many times and will continue to remember him as a humble and fine human
being. He was a life member of AMSAT INDIA and has advised and shared his
inputs during the design of VO-52. He was also one of the early VU station
on the AO-40 and other satellites.
May his soul rest in peace.
Nitin [VU3TYG]

It is a shocking and a very sad news. It is a bit difficult for me to
accept that OT Robert is no more with us. He was truly an inspiring,
humble and a fine human being. His technical knowledge is par with
excellence. Rather, it is difficult to express in words about him. We
really lost a man with a strong determination and a man who stood as
an inspiration to us forever. I along with my family and club members
express our Heart felt condolences to the bereaved family. May his
Soul Rest in Peace. We miss you Robert.

It is sad and shocking to know that Robert is no more. I remember meeting
him many times and will continue to remember him as a humble and fine human
being. He was a life member of AMSAT INDIA and has advised and shared his

Photograph of Robert in his shack can be viewed by visiting

May his soul rest in peace.

Has anyone successfully converted wispdde to Visual Basic 2008 Express? I
need to make some code changes to drive my antenna rotors but I don't have
access to VB6. Modifying the software for the newer version looks like a
major undertaking...

I try also to receive NOAA APT transmission with an helix but i got very
marginal results even with a preamp for 137khz. The signal was
better but the pagers QRM was also boosted by about a factor of 5...
The only one viable solution was to use my VHF satellite beam with a PAR
electronics vhf notch filter part number 5602516. Of course you
should have a 50khz band pass below that results are also very marginal. I
don't know if the PCR-100 is able to received at this bandwidth
but the PCR-1000 can and it can be driven by WXtoimg software.
P.S. My home made helix is available for 35$ plus shipping but a bit hard to
securely fit inside a shipping box. pics available if needed.

to narrow for this purpose, although I know of guy's who have modified
receivers successfully for just this purpose. My set up may be seen on my
website: www.stormchaser.cjb.net click on: Quadrifilar Helix Antenna. The
page needs to be upgraded, as I use a newer laptop than the one shown.

Right on, Gary !
And in case nobody on the AMSAT-BB knows it, there
was a record number of CW logs submitted for the CQ World Wide
DX contest in 2008. Over 10,000 logs submitted.

The QFH antenna that I use is the answer for good copy of the weather birds,
along with a preamp. I get a full quieting signal from within a few degrees of
AOS of weather sat NOAA 18. The preamp that I am using is also a Hamtronics
unit. It is partially visible in the photo. Plans for my QFH are on my website
under: 'Quadrifilar Helix Antenna'

Hi!
Alinco appears to be addressing some of the concerns those of us
who bought the new DJ-G7T HT had. Last week, a new manual was
made available through the Alinco web site:
http://www.alinco.com/Products/DJ-G7/djg7insweb.zip
There is a mention on the Alinco site on how owners who bought
the DJ-G7T with the original version of the instruction manual
can get a printed version of the new manual for free. It is
near the middle of the page:
http://www.alinco.com/Products/DJ-G7/
Before Dayton, Alinco had released new firmware for the Japanese
version of this HT, addressing issues with Chinese fonts on the
LCD display. That was a good sign for the T version, that Alinco
was allowing the firmware to be updated. Now there is a new
firmware update available for the DJ-G7T at:
http://www.alinco.com/Products/DJ-G7/firmdown.html
One of the items that the new version of the firmware is supposed
to address is "Operation of Cross-band repeat function reviewed".
Maybe whatever was done will help those of us who are not as
interested in using this HT as a cross-band repeater, but want to
use it for cross-band full-duplex operation with the FM satellites.
I plan on downloading the new firmware and putting it on my DJ-G7Ts
tonight. This weekend, I will once again try the DJ-G7T on FM
satellites to see if the performance has improved with the new
firmware. Hopefully others will try the same thing, and post their
observations to the -BB.
73!

Thanks for the update Patrick. I hope we'll get to work this weekend, and I
look forward to your report on the "new and improved" HT after the firmware
update.
