Today is the day that I try setting up my new Dutch*Star mini hotspot board to my Kenwood D700 From what I can read it should be a quick and easy process for the wiring. DB9 at one end and a Mini 6 Pin DIN at the other. I went to the local electronics store here […]

My crude IRLP setup
Just finished wiring up my IRLP node again. From the signal reports it’s sounding great! I’ll make it look a little prettier in the next few days.
Still waiting on my AT-5888.
Back in December I got an email from the folks over at Anytone who said they’d be shipping me a new 5888UV once the bugs are all worked out. Just wanted to let everyone know that I haven’t abandoned the cause to review these great radios. Cheers JD

AT-588UV renamed to AT-5888UV

Correction on UV920R-A Same Band Dual RX

Garbage versions of import radios being sold as final copies!
Buyer Beware. I’ve gotten more than a few emails from people saying that they have been having awful issues with their radios that they have purchased online from various retailers. I know most of the retailers in the US and CAN are very straightforward ( ImportComm, KightRadio to name a few ) I don’t know […]
KG-UV920R-A A few days of working with it…..
So I’ve had the new version A for a few days now and I have to say it’s a nice little radio. XBand repeat works. In fact there’s like 4 modes of xband repeat. I understand the regular xband and the locked band repeat. Just not sure what the other 2 do exactly. I have […]
UV920R Arriving today!
So I checked the DHL website and here it comes. It arrived in Ottawa today and should be on the truck as we speak speeding to my house to deliver this new and improved version. I’m anxious to try it out.
