The microHam Micro Keyer III is now running on Linux. CAT control and audio are working fine so far. However, I'm still getting strange background noises when sending in digital mode. #hamradio #amateurfunk #icom

OpenHamClock as an alternative to HamClock! Completely new development, and it's being expanded with new features every hour. I'm excited it's going to be great! #hamradio #amateurfunk #openhamclock

An update on the lab floor renovation. The flooring is finished, and the lighting is installed. The door and electrical outlets are still missing. I could start planning the lab benches. Soon the air conditioning will be installed. #agilent #keysight #hp #tektronix #rohdeschwarz

I now have an IC-7610 and it exceeds my expectations. Who has a 7610 with MicroHAM Micro Keyer 3? #icom #hamradio

Welcome to the future! I love these old Skypers and they have a new life in DAPNET! POCSAG is a great protocol for messages in one direction. #pocsag #dapnet #hamradio #amateurfunk

The new place is not ready yet but I am QRV. The new desk still needs to be built. #hamradio #amateurfunk #icom #ft8 #tetra

The festival of harmonic measurement after the power amplifier has begun. The power amplifier for 70 cm already has a low-pass filter built in. But I'm still missing 10 dB. #dapnet #pocsag #hp #agilent #keysight

Not bad for my PDVS 2 Mini voltage reference on my HP 3458A 😍 #hp #Agilent #Keysight #3485a

I test an MMDVM_HS_HAT duplex for POCSAG in DAPNET. I check the signal and the harmonics. Later a 70cm amplifier should be connected with filter for the harmonics. #hamradio #hampager #dapnet

Our lab cat Peter is tired. Brush your teeth, go pee, off to bed! #meow

I have now switched from Pi-Star to WPSD for DAPNET and POCSAG. I hope this runs more reliably.

Personal messages stop being sent after a while, only after a service restart or a Pi reboot. However, the other RIGS messages are always sent. I've seen in the log that the message is coming from DAPNET but isn't being sent. #DAPNET #POCSAG #PiStar

I finally made it. Switch the Cisco IP phones from SIP to SCCP firmware and operate with SCCP Manager on FreePBX 16 with Asterisk. It took me all day until I had a working version.

I will build a transmitter for the #DAPNET. Material is ordered. An MMDVM with a 70cm band amplifier with 10 watts. Who has experience with it? #Pocsag

I got a CW paddle from my family for Christmas. Now I should learn CW, I'm thinking if there is learning software for Linux?

I am now also on 23cm QRV. With an X5000, the nearby relays are reachable. But I still have to use a better cable with less damping. #icom #hamradio

Oh very hot! An HP 346B Noise Source for an HP 8970B Noise Figure Meter. The HP 8970B can only handle 10 MHz to 1600 MHz (2047 MHz Optional). The Noice Source goes up to 18 GHz. I'm going to do a few experiments with it. #Keysight #Agilent #HP

Ich war auf dem Fichtelberg 1214m im Erzgebirge. Dort gibt es ein Amateurfunkrelai DB0FIB. Die Funkrelaisstation bietet 70cm FM, DMR, C4FM und D-Star. Dazu noch 23cm FM und 2m Lineartransponder für Allmode. Das Relai ist im Sachsenlink Verbund. #fichtelberg #hamradio #amateurfunk

Bin aktuell QRV im Erzgebirge auf DB0FIB. #fichtelberg

10 meter ham band is open. There's a lot going on today.

Spontaneously turned on 6m Band. There's really something going on. Italy, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Greece, Spain, Croatia Nice 😎

Wanted volunteers to passively track the #Artemis II Orion spacecraft as the crewed mission travels to the Moon and back to Earth. @NASA are asking for information on ground stations using dish antennas <9 meters that want to contribute to AREx doppler tracking data.

The AnyTone D878UV II Plus is now on a new firmware 4.00. slight changes such as the new symbols. The APRS module also has a new firmware. #hamradio #amateurfunk

The update to version 1.07 on the AnyTone D168UV was successful. Now update the 878UV II plus to the new firmware version 4.0.

Because it's beautiful, and I like buttons that light up and blink. It reminds me of Mission Control from Apollo with its lovely buttons.

But why? 🙈

My first try on the 2m band with FT8. Only 10 watts with the ICOM IC-705.

My Delta Loop antenna isn't positioned optimally. But I'll soon be installing an aluminum mast, and the antenna will then be about 6 meters higher. #hamradio #Amateurfunk #icom #yaesu #darc

Since yesterday, I've been observing a jammer on the 15m band in the FT8 range. It's simulating FT8 signals in parallel, all with the same bits. Can anyone confirm this? #ft8 #hamradio

I am currently assembling a new Delta Loop antenna. Eadelta11 #amateurfunk #hamradio

I'm testing the new MAT tuner mAT-M200 on the IC-7300. The tuner has a much larger tuning range. But the data sheet doesn't reveal much. It can handle 100 watts, even with digital mods. Generally, it's rated for 200 watts. #icom #mattuner

If someone asks you if you have enough 3458A, you say no! 😬 #3458a #keysight #agilent #hp

Today I had time to set up more antennas 70cm/2m on the new roof and lay cables. 😎

Preparing for some calibrations of HP and Agilent 34401A. For verification, I'm using an HP 3458A. #hp #agilent #keysight #voltnut #3458a

The holidays are over, and I'm on my way home with my family. I'm testing the Tetra network and APRS. There's a traffic jam on the A2 right now. #hanradio #amateurfunk #AmateurRadio

It's my last evening in Denmark, and I'm still trying to get in a few QSOs. I'm QRV on FT8 with OZ/DA6BOC #hanradio #amateurfunk #AmateurRadio #ft8

I'm currently testing the WSJT-X alternative, JTDX. So far, I like it. #hanradio #amateurfunk #AmateurRadio #ft8

FT8 on shortwave and watch CuriousMarc's YouTube channel. #hanradio #amateurfunk #AmateurRadio #ft8

I am now on the 40m band with OZ/DA6BOC with only 10 watts and the IC-705. #hanradio #amateurfunk #AmateurRadio #ft8

I'm in Denmark for a week now. I set up my shortwave antenna and am now QRV with OZ/DA6BOC. #hanradio #amateurfunk #AmateurRadio #ft8

On the way to Kiel. I've already adjusted the relays in the AnyTone 878.

I am currently at the campsite with my QRP setup with FT8. #Amateurfunk #hamradio

I am testing my new QRP setup with IC-705 and MC-20 magnetic loop from OM0ET I am on 21.285 MHz DA6BOC #hamradio #Amateurfunk

I tested the ATU-100 EXT. I noticed that the PWR and SWR meters aren't quite accurate. The PWR meter, in particular, is usually 30 watts too low. #ft897 #atu100 #hamradio #amateurfunk

I finally solved the problem with USB RF interference on the IC-705. A ferrite core helped. #ft8 #hamradio

First test with the Digirig Mobile and the Yaesu FT-897. So far, it's going pretty well. #ft8 #Amateurfunk #hamradio

I was hoping for a better antenna for the Motorola MTP850. But the old one is better. Does anyone have experience with antennas for the MTP850 Tetra devices? #hamradio #Amateurfunk

I am currently on 15m with FT8 #Amateurfunk #hamradio

I'm now also QRV with TETRA. APRS also runs on the Motorola MTP850. My Tetra/DMR is: 2635074 DA6BOC

The electronics lab... still not finished. It's taking a long time, and a lot of things still need to be done. But I'm confident that everything will be finished. #hp #Agilent #Keysight
