On the North American continent, the APRS 2-meter frequency is 144.390 MHz. APRS stations don't operate in the connected mode, so you're not going to connect to other users. However with appropriate software (and there are several APRS-specific programs out there) you can exchange one-line message

Dave, you have to switch to Digital SSB. By pressing and holding the USB/LSB button for 1 sec. the Radio will show D-USB or D-LSB. This will effectively de-couple any Microphone, Radio-wise (internally). ... workes for me 73 Steve, W1CDX --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, "Dave" <[EMAIL PRO

Not sure if Vilnis or Andy are directing this at my early comment, but I will explain and repeat it. The situation to which I referred was for the Icom IC-746 only, and for the early models of the series. Further, it applied to the situation where the soundcard interface is connected via the 8

It appears that with many of the ICOM rigs, the microphone gain controls only the microphone input from the front panel connection. The rear connectors, whether ACC-1, or in the case of the 746 series, the additional 6 pin min DIN are a set level and the control is done by the amount of audio a

Not when feeding the audio into ACC-1 instead of the mic connector. ACC-1 on the 746 has a constant level input. All adjustments to the audio level are made external to the rig in that case. This is the part I overlooked when trying to cut the mic audio off hi hi! 73 Dave KB3MOW Andr
