A member of my repeater club has taken his beautiful Cessna 310 Island hopping in the Bahamas. I’m personally extremely jealous but none the less here are his videos.

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.
AnyTone AT-588UV has arrived.
Thanks to the folks over at AnyTone I have just rec’d the new AT-588UV mobile radio. I’ll be unboxing it and doing some basic tests tonight and going more in depth by the end of the week. Cheers JD

920R Alternator Noise Demo
Wouxun 920R Programming software error.
Some people have messaged me saying that they can’t import an excel file without getting an error like the one below. It may not be exactly but close to this depending on how many rows you have in the sheet. That’s because every cell in the spreadsheet needs to be preceded by a ‘ like […]
Time to talk to the maker.
I’ve spoken to Wouxun in China over Skype and have sent them the list of deficiencies that we have all had. I will be sending them video of the RF noise coming from the alternator that I don’t get with my other Kenwood or ICOM rigs as well as some tips on how to improve […]
