I was hoping the Fire Tone-Out section would populate when it detects the local Fire Department tone, but I guess not: The recording highlighted below was strictly the tone-out: Anyone have any ideas of where I have my config set wrong?

01-28-26 Fried Kenwood R-5000 I removed a VC-20 VHF converter board from a spare Kenwood R-5000 to sell.

While I had it open, I went to replace the s-meter light and accidenatlly shorted the leads. Just for a second. There was a tiny whiff of smoke and now I get nonsense on the screen and though the buttons all seem to work, I cannot control the radio, enter frequencies, anything. The lamp is attached to the power switch board, which is roughly where the smoke was. I have replaced that board with a known good one and the... Read more View article »

There is also a large radio tower being put up next to the weigh station. The weigh... Read more View article »
01-28-26 Do I have to join the ARRL? I suppose this is as good a place to ask this question. My ham club is really kicking "every club member must also be an ARRL member" in high gear lately. ... 01-28-26, 09:32 am I suppose this is as good a place to ask this question. My ham club is really kicking "every club member must also be an ARRL member" in high gear lately. It's like blasphemy if a member does not join the league. Part of the reason they are doing cartwheels with a set of pom-poms for League membership is that we are a Special Services club. It's my understanding there needs to be a certain percentage of club members to retain status as a Special Service Club. Myself, I look at the price... Read more View article »

(Example Comal County Sheriff (Tx) 155.95000) Then... 01-28-26, 09:29 am I was considering programming my SDS 200 using TGID only. Going thru my favorites I have many of them show frequency. (Example Comal County Sheriff (Tx) 155.95000) Then under my TGID favorites I have Comal County Sheriff TGID 46006. Do I program both or TGIDs only. Also as I go through my favorites (Comal County Tx) under GATRRS - Comal County is shows a list of frquencies, also same for New Braunfels. Since I was trying to program TGIDs only, do I need to keep the frequencies or are they... Read more View article »
