Περιγραφή

Από HF έως 50/144/430 MHz, μπορείτε να απολαύσετε μια ποικιλία ζωνών σε λειτουργίες D-STAR DV, SSB, CW, RTTY, AM και FM. Το IC-705 λαμβάνει συνεχώς από τη ζώνη των 30 kHz έως τα 144 MHz. Μπορείτε επίσης να απολαύσετε εκπομπές FM και over-the-air λήψη. 


Το IC-705 χρησιμοποιεί ένα σύστημα άμεσης δειγματοληψίας RF, όπου τα σήματα RF μετατρέπονται απευθείας σε ψηφιακά δεδομένα. Στη συνέχεια υποβάλλεται σε επεξεργασία στο FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), το οποίο καθιστά δυνατή την απλοποίηση του σχεδιασμού του κυκλώματος και τη μείωση του εσωτερικού θορύβου που μπορεί να κρύψει τα ασθενή σήματα. 

Οι επιδόσεις που παρατηρούνται με τα πεδία IC-7300 και IC-9700 είναι στο άκρο των δακτύλων για λειτουργία πεδίου. Μπορείτε να δείτε γρήγορα τη δραστηριότητα της ζώνης καθώς και να βρείτε μια καθαρή συχνότητα, όλα στο συμπαγές ραδιόφωνο και όχι ως ακριβό πρόσθετο. 

Χρησιμοποιεί την μπαταρία Li-ion υψηλής χωρητικότητας από τα φορητά ραδιόφωνα ID-51E και ID-31E. 
Μια εξωτερική πηγή τροφοδοσίας 13,8 V DC μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί για τη λειτουργία και τη φόρτιση του BP-307. 

Σε φορητή λειτουργία, το IC-705 έχει τη μέγιστη ισχύ εξόδου 5 W από το BP-307, η οποία μπορεί να διαρκέσει περίπου 4,5 ώρες*. Αυτό είναι τέλειο για αληθινή λειτουργία QRP 5W καθώς και για λειτουργία QRPp 0,5W. Μόλις εγκατασταθεί με πηγή τροφοδοσίας 13,8 V DC, έχετε έως και 10 W.

M17 on your Pi-Star

M17 is one of the most exciting things happening on

But first, if you are not familiar with M17, here is the definition from the project website:

M17 is a new digital radio protocol in development as an alternative to those currently available, with freedom in mind. Freedom in the code, protocol, voice codecs, and hardware. The goal is to provide a better option for digital radios in the future.

I’ve started working on the M17 Project; my involvement started with the OpenRTX project, but I contributed to other projects inside the M17 world, as it should be in a healthy open-source ecosystem.

Howto patch your Pi-Star

The Pi-Star upgrade system relies on Git, so I wrote a little script that points the upgrading system to my M17 branches.

The script will modify the dashboard, /usr/local/bin, and /usr/local/sbin. It may fail if you have modifications to these places, so please revert to a stock pi-star before proceeding.

To patch your pi-star, connect with ssh and run the following command.

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nolith/Pi-Star_Binaries_sbin/M17/pistar-install-m17 | sudo bash -

This script will update the binaries and the dashboard to support M17. It will add a new m17gateway service and the necessary firewall rules.

To successfully run M17Gateway, your MMDVM modem or HotSpot hat needs a firmware update. For the hotspot, you need at least v1.6.0; for the modem, instead, compile it from the master branch.

Beware that the MMDVMHost included in this patch is backward compatible with the previous version, but the stock binary included with pi-star isn’t forward compatible; you need to downgrade your firmware before uninstalling the M17 patch.

Now that we have a supported firmware it is time to enable the M17 mode from the configuration dashboard.

 

Enabling it will generate a configuration file in /etc/m17gateway; it is possible to edit it with the full editor available under the expert configuration page.

If you only care about the startup reflector, it is possible to change it from the regular configuration page.

The first M17 QSO

Now you are all set; it’s time to test your M17 enabled pi-star.

This is how the dashboard looks like when you have M17 enabled.

There are several options to test this setup. I’ll briefly cover some of them, starting with the option that requires no radio at all.

DroidStar over Internet

DroidStar implements M17 both TX and RX. You can install it on Android, join the iOS app beta, or compile it and run on your computer.

If you connect DroidStar and Pi-Star to the same reflector it will be possible to see the transmissions on the dashboard (and on the hotspot display).

If you have an rtl-srd device, it will be possible to decode the M17 traffic using SDR++.

DroidStar transceiver

With an MMDVM HotSpot board, an USB to TTL adapter, and on USB On The Go (OTG) cable it is possible to turn your Android device into an M17 transceiver using only RF, without internet access.

More details on this experiment are available on the M1HOG wiki.

M17Client

M17Client is yet another great piece of software from G4KLX. It’s a client designed for use with MMDVM modems and hotspots to allow for use as an M17 radio. This requires access to an M17 capable MMDVM modem or hotspot and of course a suitable radio if using the modem version.

Here is a short video where I’m testing my QSY pull request.

OpenRTX

OpenRTX is a Free and Open Source Firmware for Digital Ham Radios, at the time of writing it only supports M17 TX but no RX.

It requires hardware modifications and you can read how much fun Michael DL6MHC had with this in his blog post.

Mobilinkd TNC3

If you have a 9600-baud capable radio, a Mobilinkd TNC3, and an Android device, then you can follow the Mobilinkd M17 Setup Guide from WX9O.

Why I’ve done all of this?

I was building an M17 hotspot from scratch, and once I got all the binaries ready, I realized how many features come for free in pi-star.

After studying the pi-star upgrade system, I decided to patch it to support M17. So I shared my learning on the M17 Discord server, and other hams started using it, reporting bugs, writing articles.

It was no longer only my script, others were using it, so I decided to upstream my changes hoping to have them as part of the standard pi-star distribution.

So I opened a pull request for the dashboard and one for /usr/local/sbin in the hope that we can start a conversation about what is missing to bring M17 to all pi-star users.

IC-9700 MOD - Frequency modification!

Icom IC-9700 frequency modification, only works on European models! The modification

That means 2 MHz extra from 146-148 MHz (which is a welcome modification for UK users since they have temporarily access to 146-147 MHz) and extension from 440-450 MHz.

No wideband or MARS/CAP modification available yet. I guess the diodes can be found in the front.

Removing 2 diodes: D332 and D326

IC-9700 in D-Star DV Internal Terminal mode

Using the new Icom IC-9700 in D-Star DV Internal Terminal mode and connecting to the multi-protocol XLX122 B reflector. Radio

IC-9700 in D-Star DV Internal Terminal mode

The IC-9700 is a very feature rich radio. One feature it has is the ability to make pure IP connections via the built-in ethernet port and connecting to gateways running G3 software from Icom and/or reflectors running “open software”. This is a short guide on connecting to an open reflector XLX130 B.

Connect up the ethernet port on the IC-9700 to your home network and make sure it gets an IP address. The address should be a static address since you will need to open up UDP port 40000 for port forwarding from the Internet to the IP address of the IC-9700 on you local network.

The best way to do this is to login to your router/gateway box set up a static entry in the DHCP pool using the MAC address of the IC-9700, you can find that in the information location in the menu – this way when you power on the IC-9700 and it requests an IP address using DHCP from your home router it will always get the same IP address.

In the IC-9700 some things need to be setup – here is a short video on what those settings are: (Validate the network, make sure My Station is setup, set up DV Gateway)

Setup IC-9700 Internal Terminal Mode 

I am linking to reflector XLX130 module B. This reflector is capable of linking D-Star.

This means you can have a Digital  QSO with  TG 20207  you can get the status from the dashboard of the reflector – http://xlxzone.net Look under users/Modules for your call sign and then under Repeaters / Nodes

Setting up the router (optional but recommended):

Here the procedure changes between the different versions / models of your home modem, but the step is similar, go to the "Port Forwarding" tab and enter the same IP address set at the beginning in the radio and the number as internal and external port 40000, we have to choose UDP as the protocol

Windows 11 ISO απο το uupdump.net

Πως κατεβάζουμε το Windows 11 ISO χωρίς να μπλέκεις με το πρόγραμμα Windows Insider

 Το UUP Dump είναι ο πιο πρακτικός και εύκολος τρόπος να πάρουμε ISO αρχεία, από οποιαδήποτε Insider Windows 10 ή Windows 11 έκδοση, αρκεί η Microsoft να την έχει διαθέσει.

Θα πρέπει να σημειώσουμε, ότι δεν χρειάζεται να γίνεις μέλος του Windows Insider προγράμματος για να κατεβάσεις και να εγκαταστήσεις Insider builds.

Μπορείς να κατεβάσεις πολύ εύκολα και να εγκαταστήσεις οποιαδήποτε Insider build από το UUP Dump και όταν υπάρξει μια Insider build upgrader έκδοση να την κατεβάσεις και να αναβαθμίσεις την εγκατάσταση.

  • Αρχικά θα πρέπει να μεταβούμε στο https://uupdump.net/
  • Στη συνέχεια θα πρέπει να επιλέξουμε το Insider channel και την προτιμώμενη αρχιτεκτονική. Σημειώστε, ότι τα Windows 11 μέχρι και τη στιγμή που γράφεται το άρθρο, είναι διαθέσιμα μόνο στο
  • Dev Channel, ενώ δεν υπάρχει 32 bit έκδοση, αφού επιλέξουμε την 64bit έκδοση του Dev channel θα μας βγάλει την έκδοση Cumulative Update for Windows 11 (10.0.22000.51) που είναι και το αρχείο που μας ενδιαφέρει αυτή τη στιμή.
  • Το επιλέγεις και στη συνέχεια θα κληθείς να επιλέξεις την γλώσσα και τέλος την έκδοση ή τις εκδόσεις που θα συμπεριληφθούν στο ISO. Προτείνουμε να επιλέξεις τα Home και Pro. Και τέλος, επιλέγουμε το Download and Convert to ISO ενώ θα πρέπει να επιλέξεις και στην ενότητα των Conversion options το Include Updates, για να κατεβάσει και τις ενημερώσεις που έχει κυκλοφορήσει η Microsoft μέχρι τώρα.

Μόλις ακολουθήσεις αυτά τα βήματα, και πατήσεις Create download package, θα κατέβει στο PC σου ένα zip. Κάνεις δεξί κλικ πάνω σε αυτό, πιέζεις properties και πατάς στο Unblock. Ξανά επιλέγεις δεξί κλικ και Extract all, για να το αποσυμπιέσεις. Μόλις θα κάνεις αποσυμπίεση, θα δεις έναν φάκελο και μέσα σε αυτό ένα αρχείο uup_download_windows.cmd το οποίο και θα πρέπει να τρέξουμε.

Από εκεί και πέρα αναλαμβάνει δουλειά το PC σου να κατεβάσει τα αρχεία και να δημιουργήσει το ISO για να μπορέσεις μετά εσύ να προβείς σε καθαρή εγκατάσταση των Windows 11. Θα χρειαστεί κάποια ώρα ακόμη και σε δυνατά laptops, οπότε μην σε ανησυχείς καθόλου. Μόλις ολοκληρωθεί η διαδικασία, θα δεις το νέο ISO στο φάκελο που έκανες extract το zip παραπάνω.

What is System Fusion?

System Fusion is a d

 

C4FM stands for Continuous Four Level Frequency Modulation, which is a special type of 4FSK, which is used in conjunction with FDMA - Frequency Division Multiple Access. FDMA is the same mode that is used in P25 Phase 1 by public service groups, including Emergency Responders, but its not compatible. 

What sets this new technology apart from other digital voice technologies, such as D-STAR, DMR, P25, and NXDN, is its backwards compatibility with analog FM.

Here's a look at bandwidths used by different analog and digital modes, including FDMA:.

Automatic Mode Select

Every Fusion radio and repeater is aware of the current QSO and it's mode, using a feature called Automatic Mode Select. This function instantly recognizes whether the received signal is C4FM digital or conventional FM. The communication mode automatically switches to match the received mode. Even if a digital signal is being used, you can switch to FM communication if radio signals are received from an FM station. This function enables stress-free operation by removing the need to manually switch the communication method each time.

AMS function breaks down into the following operating modes that are fully selectable by the radio user:

  • AUTO: The both RX/ TX mode is automatically selected from one of the four operating modes (DN, VW, DW and FM) to match the characteristics of the received signal. This is the current AMS operation.
  • TX MANUAL: The both RX/ TX mode is automatically selected from four operating modes to match the characteristics of the received signal. And if desired to change the TX mode, by pressing the Microphone PTT switch momentarily, the TX mode switch between DN and FM modes.
  • TX FM FIXED: The RX mode is automatically selected from one of the four operating modes, but the TX mode is fixed to FM.
  • TX DN FIXED: The RX mode is automatically selected from one of the four operating modes, but the TX mode is fixed to the ‘DN’ (Digital Voice Narrow) mode.
  • TX VW FIXED: The RX mode is automatically selected from one of the four operating modes, but the TX mode is fixed to the ‘VW’ (Digital Voice Wide) mode.

System Fusion uses a similar DVSI AMBE DSP chip as used in DMR & P25, but newer than what's used in D-STAR. 



System Fusion's Four Digital Modes

V/D (Digital Narrow) – Voice+Digital or “V/D” mode

Voice FR (VW) Mode – Utilizes all available bandwidth for high-fidelity voice operation, providing the most crystal clear of voice communications.

Highspeed Data 

Transfer data such as images or text messages at full rate with speeds up to 9600 Bits-per-second

Analog FM Mode 

Maintains backwards compatibility with existing Analog FM Equipment, allowing a wide range of users to experiment with System Fusion Digital.
Capabilities such as Automatic Mode Select (AMS) on the DR-1X Repeater allow an even wider range of users to communicate, by running the repeater in “Fixed FM” mode on Transmit, and “Automatic Mode Select” on receive the repeater will automatically detect the incoming signal and convert it to an Analog FM Transmission. This mode allows digital users to communicate with existing Analog FM users without the need to switch their radios into FM Mode, allowing crystal clear Digital reception into the repeater that is converted into a conventional FM Signal.

You will be able to display the information, station list; and use the message, SmartBeaconing TM function . You will be able to track your APRS® movement on the Internet websites.

Digital Group Monitor Function

The digital GM function automatically checks whether members registered in a group are within communication range, and displays information such as distance and direction for each call sign on the screen. This convenient function makes it possible not only to see whether any friends are in communication range, but also to instantaneously determines the location and relationship between all members of the group. This function can also be used to send messages and data such as images between members of a group, permitting convenient and fun communication between friends when out for a drive or hike. Sent and received messages and images can be checked on the LOG List screen, with icons making them easy to distinguish.

Backtrack Function to Return to Departure Point

This function allows navigation back to the departure point, or a point previously added to the memory. When hiking or camping, just register the starting point or the position of your tent and then you can constantly check the direction and distance from your current position. The arrow of the compass display constantly shows the direction to the registered point, making it extremely convenient in finding your way back to the registered place – just move in the direction so that the arrow in the heading-up display points straight upward.

When using the handy speaker microphone camera (optional MH-85A11U), press the shutter button to capture a snapshot, then press the image transmit button to easily transmit the image data. The snapshot image or received data is stored in a high capacity micro SD card that is installed in the radio. You can recall and send that image data from the SD card anytime. The image data size is 320 x 240 dots or 160 x 120 dots. Image quality can set from 3 types, and you can choose a format that is suitable for the image and purpose. This image data also retains a time record and the GPS location data of the snapshot. It is easy to view and edit the data file after taking the pictures by using a personal computer. A snapshot aids in navigating and returning to the pictured location; other various uses are possible.

Automatic Mode Selection (AMS)

The Automatic Mode Select function detects the receive signal mode The transceiver automatically selects one of the four communication modes according to the signal received. This is extremely convenient when listening for communications, as you do not need to be aware of the other party’s communication mode. The transceiver can also be operated in a fixed communication mode.

Four (4) Communication Modes

The FT-2DR operates in one traditional analog mode and three digital modes! Enjoy communication in the mode that best suits your needs. purpose.

  • V/D Mode (Simultaneous Voice/Data Communication Mode) Half of the bandwidth is used for voice signal with error correction. The transceiver uses powerful error correction technology developed for professional communication devices. The very effective error correction code provides benefits such as minimal interruption of communication. The basic digital C4FM FDMA mode provides a good balance between sound quality and error correction.
  • Voice FR Mode (Voice Full Rate Mode) This mode uses the entire 12.5 kHz bandwidth to transmit digital voice data. The larger voice data size allows voice communication with high sound quality. Use this mode for pleasing sound quality communication between amateur radio friends.
  • Data FR Mode (High-speed Data Communication Mode) A high-speed data communication mode that uses the entire 12.5 kHz bandwidth for data communication. The transceiver automatically switches to this mode when sending and receiving images, allowing a large amount of data to be transmitted quickly.
  • Analog FM Mode Analog FM is effective for communication with a weak signal that causes voices to break up in the digital modes. The analog mode allows communication even at distances where noise and weak signals make communication almost impossible. The tried-and-trusted low-power circuit design uses less battery power than the digital modes.
5 Watts Solid RF Power

The FT-2DR outputs a maximum of 5 Watts of clean RF power, with selectable power-saving choices of 2 Watts, and ½ Watt also being available with a simple touch of the screen.

REPEATER READER

What is Repeater Rea

The program is using the Brandmeister „APIs“ for the Last Heard and GPS system similar to the Brandmeister website:https://brandmeister.network/ In other words, its using the same data source, the BM network (BM MQTT) but its not the same system, so if you see the website is working and RepeaterReader not its no indication that there is something wrong in the BM system.  RR (RepeaterReader) reads the data stream of both „streams“ and filter out all necessary data like the selected Talkgroups or the connected Reflector. From the technical point of view all the messages are MQTT messages in different topics.

But why do I need RR ? You don’t need it

I designed the program to see the traffic on the repeater even if the TRX is turned of like if you are at work.

RR has a sound notification (not the voice, only a sound) for all traffic or only for friends so you can let run it in the background. You can also minimize the program (ESC key) and let it stay on top (if configured) in a corner of your monitor.

For multimedia freaks: a KODI option is also included to send messages to KODI. So you can watch your movies and get the notification on the big screen . If you don’t know what KODI is just ignore this option

There is an extended log feature and a Chart feature, also a an option to send messages to telegram and a Web API to monitor the „trafic“ on your homepage:

What are the system requirements ?

The program is written in JAVA so it should run on all supported systems like WindowsLinux or MAC

You need the newest JAVA 8 version

https://java.com/download/

Currently this is Version 8 Update 211

Make sure (during the installation of JAVA) that you only install JAVA (expert mode if available) because sometimes they want to install other software. (as far as I know)

If Repeater Reader is not starting or unable to connect de-install Java and perform a new installation.

Is there any support available ?

Τελευταίες αναβαθμίσεις software του XLX737

BRING YOUR C4FM RADI

Πρόσφατα και μετά από τις τελευταίες αναβαθμίσεις του software του XLX737 reflector και τις απαιτούμενες ρυθμίσεις, προστέθηκε και η δυνατότητα χρήσης του σαν Ysfreflector με ID 22337.

Συνεπώς οι συνδεόμενοι στο module “C” του XLX737 με C4FM ενώνονται με το υπόλοιπο δίκτυο του Ysf που αποτελείται από τον Ysfreflector Hellas zone, το TG 20208 (για όσους συνδέονται μέσω DMR), το Wires-x repeater μέσω RF (επαναλήπτης SV1O 145762.5 MHz στο Λεκανοπέδιο Αθηνών και Πελοπόννησο) και μέσω του Wires-x room SZ1SV. Αν μετά την σύνδεση ενεργοποιήσουν το wires-x mode τότε μπορούν να επιλέξουν και να μεταβούν σε διαφορετικό module π.χ. “B”.

Εννοείται ότι στο module “C” του XLX737 μπορεί κανείς να συνδεθεί είτε μέσω Hot Spot είτε μέσω Repeater και στα 3 mode (DMR, DStar, YSF).
Επίσης στο module “Β” του XLX737 εξακολουθεί να λειτουργεί και το transcoder μεταξύ DStar<->DMR (TG20207).
Να σημειωθεί ότι οι δύο εκδόσεις του Ysfreflector (κανονικός και XLX) έχουν μικροδιαφορές μεταξύ τους.

Μία είναι ότι σε Ysf client που έχουν συνδεθεί στο ίδιο module του XLX δεν περνάνε GPS data μεταξύ τους σε αντίθεση με το κανονικό (Hellas Zone Ysf reflector) που περνάει φωνή και data κανονικά μεταξύ των client.

What is WIRES-X?

WIRES (Wide-coverage

WIRES-X Features

WIRES-X supports the C4FM digital and the clear and crisp voice technology enables high sound quality. By repeating C4FM digital data as it is via the Internet, users can enjoy clear voice communications even if they are thousands of miles away each other. Utilizing the digital communication, the WIRES-X operation is simple, easy and user friendly. Varieties of the new functions as well as voice communications expands opportunities for enjoyment of ham station operation.

Smart Access Functions

WIRES-X automatically connects to nodes and rooms via the Internet. No more need to verify connection IDs or transmit cumbersome DTMF connection codes. Information about nodes and rooms is exchanged via C4FM Digital signaling. Thanks to automatic reconnection to the previous contact, all you need to do is press PTT and start talking. Easily search for new nodes and rooms, and initiate communication promptly when you find an ID that captures your interest.

Activity Monitor Function

Currently active nodes and rooms can be searched in real time, and viewed on the display of your transceiver. The display list is sorted according to the number of stations currently connected to the room, in other words by popularity. This lets you quickly find other active stations to communicate with. Node owners can freely create a room ID using letters and numbers. The ID works a bit like the name of a person. Easy to understand, meaningful names, unique names, memorable names… all are possible and can be used in a targeted search. A history of previous nodes and rooms, and a memory function with five categories makes it a snap to find and connect with a particular ID.

News Station Function

News bulletins (messages, images, voice memos) can be freely uploaded to nodes and rooms. Other users can download the saved news information. For example, sharing traffic information or other local news, or sending a snapshot of a meeting place to fellow operators, as well as a myriad of other uses are possible. It does not matter whether someone is nearby or in a country far away. WIRES-X offers a way to overcome barriers of distance, time, or even language. Welcome to a world of previously unheard-of possibilities for connecting and communicating by way of Amateur Radio and the internet.

Preset Search Function

Search and connect to local node stations with a simple button touch. The system will automatically obtain node station information and setup the required frequency and digital code parameters. Wherever there is a WIRES-X local node station that is reachable by Amateur radio, complicated connection operation steps are no longer necessary. Node station ID, city name, as well as distance and bearing are indicated on the display of the transceiver, and can be checked at a glance. * Now you can communicate worldwide with ease and confidence. (* Only if published by the node station)

Other Notable Features

Digital/Analog Mutual Communication

WIRES-X of course also supports traditional analog FM users. Not only can analog FM stations have a QSO with each other, WIRES-X also permits C4FM Digital stations to communicate with analog FM stations. WIRES-X is an FM friendly digital solution, because Amateur Radio should always allow operators to communicate freely all over the globe.

Node Setup Is Easy With WIRES-X

Establishing the connection between the HRI-200 and a computer is quick and simple, requiring only a single USB cable. Support for USB bus power means that an additional external power supply is not needed. Opening ports in the router also can be done with a simple setting in the WIRES-X software, using the UPnP function. (May not be supported by some routers.) Working your way through complicated router settings is a thing of the past.

Yaesu FT-70D

C4FM FDMA / FM 144/4

The new FT-70DR is a compact and very attractively priced YAESU System Fusion transceiver providing both conventional analog FM operation and the advanced C4FM Digital mode. The FT-70DR provides up to 5W of reliable RF power, and its large Front Speaker delivers 700mW of Loud Audio Output. Because C4FM has better BER (Bit Error Rate) characteristics than other digital modulations, the user can expect exceptional audio quality. The new digital FT-70DR includes our unique Automatic Mode Select (AMS) function. AMS detects the operating mode of the received signal as C4FM digital or analog FM, and then automatically and instantly switches the receiver to the appropriate mode. Users do not need to manually change between modes. The multi-colored LED Mode-Indicator displayed on the front allows the operator to easily see what mode the FT-70DR is in at any given moment. LED Mode-Indicator clearly and visibly shows the transmit/ receive mode by changing its color so that the operating mode of the transceiver is easily recognized at a glance. One of the other distinguishing features of the FT-70DR is Digital Group Monitor (GM) with DG-ID and DP-ID. DGID (Digital Group Identification) and DP-ID (Digital Personal Identification) are useful features now included in the FT-70DR, to simplify the GM operation. Simply put, the transceivers selecting the same DG-ID or DP-ID can communicate with each other. Between 00 and 99 DG-ID and DP-ID are selectable which provides loads of flexibility so that users can enjoy group communication with friends in GM mode in accordance to their individual operational needs.
Commercial Grade VHF / UHF
The FT-70DR is built to commercial grade standards, including the IP54 Rating for Dust and Water protection, making this radio suitable for operation in the harshest of environments.
Wide band receive coverage
108 MHz - 580 MHz, continuous reception for aircraft bands, public service channels, etc.
Versatile Scanning Capabilities
Programmable VFO Scan, scans all channels in the desired frequency range, Memory scan allows scanning of user selectable frequencies, Priority Channel Scan can be used to scan memory channels while making one channel a priority. Weather Alert scan alerts the user when severe weather is approaching.
Automatic Mode Select (AMS)
The Automatic Mode Select function detects the receive signal mode 
The transceiver automatically selects one of the four communication modes according to the signal received. This is extremely convenient when listening for communications, as you do not need to be aware of the other party’s communication mode. The transceiver can also be operated in a fixed communication mode.
More Advanced Features
Other advanced features include: External DC Jack for DC Supply Operation and to Charge the Battery, Mini USB 
port for convenient programming and software updates, CTCSS/ DCS Operation, Automatic Power Off (APO) 
feature, RF Squelch, Transmitter Time Out Timer (TOT) and Busy Channel Lock-Out (BCLO).

Yaesu FT3D

With the FT-3DE Yaes

The FT-3DE is a true dual-band device for VHF (144 MHz) and UHF (430MHz) with two receivers. I.e. you can receive two signals at the same time, also mixed digital/analog. The two radio bands can be combined at will (V+V, U+U, V+U, U+V). In addition, the device is equipped with a broadband receiver from 500 kHz to 999 MHz (band A) or 108 to 580 MHz (band B). So you can comfortably listen to the radio while waiting for a call on the local repeater. The transmission power is max. 5 W, adjustable in 4 steps (0.3, 1, 2.5, 5 W).

As with all Yaesu C4FM 'System Fusion' radios, the FT-3DE can automatically distinguish between FM and C4FM incoming transmissions, so you don't miss a call. The FT-3DE is also particularly flexible when used as a mobile C4FM hotspot. With an optional cable set (SCU-39), the radio can be connected to a computer connected to the Internet. A radio cell for C4FM can be set up at its location (hotspot function, operation as an access point). This is very practical for fielddays or contests where several participants need access to the worldwide Wires-X network. The nice thing about it is that the FT-3DE can still be used as a radio while providing hotspot functions.

The very clearly readable colour LCD with 320x240 pixels is particularly striking. The screen is a touch panel which also serves as an input device. This reduces the number of traditional operating elements and simplifies handling. Two knobs at the top allow quick frequency selection and volume adjustment. The FT-3DE is also equipped with a GPS antenna and offers APRS functions. If desired, the device can also be used as a simple GPS tracker, i.e. only for recording a covered hiking trail. With C4FM, the position data is transmitted parallel to the voice signal and is used by the remote station to indicate direction and distance. This tactical display also works when receiving a C4FM signal with GPS information. The received data can be stored on an optionally available SD memory card in addition to the configuration of the device.

The built-in Bluetooth module is important for convenient, hands-free operation of the FT-3DE. With the optionally available BT headset SSM-BT10, you can make your hiking experience more comfortable while keeping the radio in your pocket or backpack. Vox operation is also possible, other compatible BT headsets can also be used.

Περιγραφή

Από HF έως 50/144/430 MHz, μπορείτε να απολαύσετε μια ποικιλία ζωνών σε λειτουργίες D-STAR DV, SSB, CW, RTTY, AM και FM. Το IC-705 λαμβάνει συνεχώς από τη ζώνη των 30 kHz έως τα 144 MHz. Μπορείτε επίσης να απολαύσετε εκπομπές FM και over-the-air λήψη. 


Το IC-705 χρησιμοποιεί ένα σύστημα άμεσης δειγματοληψίας RF, όπου τα σήματα RF μετατρέπονται απευθείας σε ψηφιακά δεδομένα. Στη συνέχεια υποβάλλεται σε επεξεργασία στο FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), το οποίο καθιστά δυνατή την απλοποίηση του σχεδιασμού του κυκλώματος και τη μείωση του εσωτερικού θορύβου που μπορεί να κρύψει τα ασθενή σήματα. 

Οι επιδόσεις που παρατηρούνται με τα πεδία IC-7300 και IC-9700 είναι στο άκρο των δακτύλων για λειτουργία πεδίου. Μπορείτε να δείτε γρήγορα τη δραστηριότητα της ζώνης καθώς και να βρείτε μια καθαρή συχνότητα, όλα στο συμπαγές ραδιόφωνο και όχι ως ακριβό πρόσθετο. 

Χρησιμοποιεί την μπαταρία Li-ion υψηλής χωρητικότητας από τα φορητά ραδιόφωνα ID-51E και ID-31E. 
Μια εξωτερική πηγή τροφοδοσίας 13,8 V DC μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί για τη λειτουργία και τη φόρτιση του BP-307. 

Σε φορητή λειτουργία, το IC-705 έχει τη μέγιστη ισχύ εξόδου 5 W από το BP-307, η οποία μπορεί να διαρκέσει περίπου 4,5 ώρες*. Αυτό είναι τέλειο για αληθινή λειτουργία QRP 5W καθώς και για λειτουργία QRPp 0,5W. Μόλις εγκατασταθεί με πηγή τροφοδοσίας 13,8 V DC, έχετε έως και 10 W.
