Nate, Thanks for making my point -- the D-STAR part is the easy part, and if you go non-ICOM, it's nearly free. The hard, and expensive work, is the traditional repeater part of it, which you have outlined very well. So the good news -- when someone has an existing analog repeater which

Hi I just finish a new project IC-80AD with a homebrew GPS mouse. See the new pictures in the photos section (JA1OGS) The GPS works fine ok with my Kenwood TM-D710 connection are the same. With the IC-80AD I get it not going, the G in the display not will not show up. I have the settings ok in

[DSTAR_DIGITAL] ID800 High power DV transmit issue

2010-05-25 Thread w0rmt
Greetings all- This morning I noticed an issue with the ID800H in my truck. When transmitting on high power (into port B of W0CDS), the unit cuts out and gives four long beeps. I initially thought it was a high SWR safety feature, but when transmitting on high on other frequencies near this

Carl, I believe that your radio does use the auto-offset for DV mode. What you have to look at is the range of the auto-offset. The instruction manual of the U82 shows the following: Frequency range Duplex direction 145.200-145.495 MHz - appears 146.610-146.995 MHz 147.000-147.395 MHz +

I'd still look for higher SWR, SWR can change dramatically over a relatively small area. Other items to look for, voltage dropouts and high temperature. And is often the case, all of the above. Ed WA4YIH From: dstar_digital@yahoogroups.com [mailto:dstar_digi...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of

Thanks Ed, It does the off set in the VFO for analog only.  It does not work when the radio is in DV on the VFO.  It might be an Icom feature.  I just learned to set the frequency in analog, it will do the off set and the I turn on the DV mode.  I had programmed a D-Star repeater in and set

Hi Sounds like a very similar thing that happened with my ID-80 HT. It was because external DC voltage supplied was a bit high and adjusting it to 13.5 fixed the problem. JI1BQW Kay On 2010/05/26, at 0:34, w0rmt w0...@arrl.net wrote: Greetings all- This morning I noticed an issue with

I had this identical problem, a few times. I was using my ID-800 as a base station. I was transmitting on 441.0 MHz and heard the beeps and the radio stopped transmitting. Never happened on any other frequency. I mentioned it to one of the Icom Tech. guys. He had no comments. I dunno... Buddy

I'll check the power and fuse. After some further research on this forum, I did find reference to the same symptoms which were solved by having Icom re-adjust some voltage setting. Before going that route, I'll look into the power. Nothing has changed in that department- it's still wired
