[BVARC] Icom Receiver

2020-02-23 Thread Michael Mustachia via BVARC
I have a Icom IC-R75 receiver for sale. It has the UT-106 DSP Unit installed 
(Functions as noise reduction and auto notch). I have the AC adapter and 
owners manual. The receiver is in excellent shape and works well with my 
doublet antenna. The DSP Unit alone sells new for $150. I am asking $475.00 
for everything, but am open to bids.

Re: [BVARC] Hurricane Harvey Rainfall

2017-08-30 Thread Michael Mustachia via BVARC
I have two weather stations. Davis Vantage Pro $459.99 and Davis Vantage Vue 
$269.99. I bought them from Scientific Sales Inc. I think they are in New 
Jersey. If I am remembering correctly no tax and no freight. They both are 
very good. The one think to realize about the rain gauge is very accurate in 
a steady rain. I have compared with Channel 2. However in a heavy or blowing 
rain the design of all of the gauges will now allow them to keep up with the 
actual amount of rainfall or the rate. The collector depends on a sort of 
seesaw with cups on each end.

I have a Yaesu ft-857d that I have been using as a base unit. It has worked 
well for me. The screen is small and the menu can take some getting use to, but 
the manual is fairly clear. It can be had new for about $850.00. If you want to 
spend $1199.00 look at the Yaesu ft-991. It has a larger screen and seems to be 
user friendly.  Do a Google search on both for reviews. E Ham net Reviews. The

Hi folks,

I am a newbie to Ham Radio and a newbie to the club, so I'm writing to ask for 
your help in picking a rig. I just passed my General exam so many options are 
open to me and I'd like to explore a lot of those options.  I currently own a 
Baofeng HT and a Yaesu FT2900 two meter transceiver, but no equipment for HF.  
I've been looking at HF VHF UHF units.  I've even looked at the Alesis KX3 and 
the Flex 1500.  They don't cover the VHF-UHF bands but they do appeal to me.  
Bottom line, I don't want to spend more than a thousand dollars if possible.  
What do you suggest?  As Sergeant Schultz used to say on Hogan's Heroes, "I 
know nothing."  I'll really appreciate your suggestions.

Actually there is one radio that is type certified/accepted/approved for both 
marine and  business band usage (CFR 47 Part 80 marine and part 90). It is an 
ICOM IC-M88 and it has all the VHF-FM marine channels as well as the capability 
of programming up to 22 commercial channels/frequencies in it between 146 and 
174 MHz. The 22 channels can be either narrowband or wideband and has the 
capability for CTCSS and DCS. Since Part 90 equipment is allowed in amateur 
service, then this radio does cover both marine and amateur services legally.

 

However using it as an amateur radio would be limiting for several reasons;

 

1.  It cannot be programmed from the front panel at all. You have to use 
software and a special cable for programming.

2.  It is limited to 22 extra channels/frequency pairs. 

3.  It only covers the upper 2 MHz of the 2 meter band. No mods for the 
other 2 MHz. 

4.  It costs between $250 and $300 which is the cost of at least 7 Baofengs 
(is this the Baofeng factor?) In fact, you could buy a couple of Baofengs ($70) 
and a marine handheld ($80) and a marine base station ($100) for the cost of 
one M88

 

The best bet for a marine radio is a marine radio and a ham radio for amateur 
use. Use the right radio for the radio service.  

 

 

 

There are a couple of other radios that are type certified/accepted/approved 
for marine and business band which should cover amateur service but I do not 
think anybody would be interested in them.

 

1.  Harris PRC-152   Wide-band 30-520 MHz, 762-870 MHz, AM, 
WFM, NFM, PSK, CPM, FSK, P25P1, DES encryption, ?   
  $?  

2.  Harris Unity XG-100P  quad-band handheld radio with blue tooth, 
GPS, 12,500 channel capacity, P25 digital format, DES encryption, etc.  
 $5500

3.  Motorola APX 7000 tri-band handheld radio with blue tooth, more 
or less the same as above   
  $6995

4.  Motorola APX 8000 quad-band handheld radio with blue tooth, 
again the same as above 
 $7995

 

I’m sure everyone will run out and buy two or three of these handheld radios.

A quick web search reveals marine band HT’s are available from both Icom and 
Yaesu.

FCC “requirements” are here: 
http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/index.htm?job=licensing&id=ship_stations

 

Hope this helps. Sorry there is apparently no HT that transmits on both amateur 
and marine VHF bands. Many ham HT’s will receive the marine VHF frequencies.

  Hi Rob and the gang,

   

  The only radio services where the “out of band” or out of certification apply 
are the MARS and CAP frequencies immediately adjacent to the ham bands. Very 
special exceptions to the rules.

   

  When I was active in MARS and CAP, I had modified my TS-430S for “all 
frequency transmit” - one blocking diode. The diode for “transmit inhibit” was 
a requirement for certification under Part 97 for Kenwood.

   

  Having made this change made it technically possible to spin the dial to 
27.185 and call “Breaker ONE NINE…”. That doesn’t mean that I actually did it 
or that I somehow had a CB radio :)

   

  Many radio services, other than ours, are channelized because the people 
using the radios are not radio operators. This is especially true for Maritime 
where even HF frequencies are channelized. I had to memorize some of the 
frequency charts to get my GMDSS license.

   

  Whether a Baofeng radio is a good choice for signal cleanliness to meet 
certification is an entirely different matter...
