The Icom IC-7300 is a popular HF transceiver among amateur radio operators, known for its advanced features and performance. This modification guide focuses on enabling extended transmission capabilities, specifically for MARS and CAP frequencies. The instructions are based on the work of PA2DB and include detailed steps for removing specific diodes to unlock additional frequency ranges. Before proceeding with the modification, users are advised to take necessary precautions, such as ensuring the radio is powered off and using ESD protection. The guide emphasizes the importance of using appropriate soldering techniques and tools to avoid damaging sensitive components. A video demonstration is also provided to assist users visually in performing the mod. While this modification can enhance the functionality of the IC-7300, it is crucial to note that it may void the warranty and should be undertaken at the operator's own risk. The guide serves as a valuable resource for those looking to expand their operating capabilities with this versatile transceiver. -
HB9DNU Karlheinz's blog, hosted on Blogger, presents a collection of personal reflections and observations, predominantly in German. The content spans various non-amateur radio subjects, including Swiss political initiatives, economic discussions concerning banks like UBS, and social commentary. For instance, an entry from February 2008 details the Swiss vote on a combat jet noise initiative, highlighting the debate between tourism concerns and national security. Another post from October 2008 critiques the 500 billion Euro bailout package for banks, calculating its per-capita cost for German citizens and referencing earlier blog entries from March 2006 and June 2007 that discussed UBS salaries and Raiffeisenbank issues. These entries often reflect Karlheinz's personal perspective on current events. The blog also includes lighter, more personal notes, such as a February 2009 entry about a video produced by his grandson, and observations on local events like a bird exhibition in Contone or a scenic train ride through the Centovalli, demonstrating a broad range of interests beyond the ham radio hobby. -

This resource, a blog from the Penang Amateur Radio Club (PARC), offers insights into various aspects of amateur radio in Malaysia. One post details monitoring Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS) on the 2m band, providing specific frequencies like 122.750 MHz AM for Butterworth and 126.400 MHz AM for Penang, along with sample aviation weather and operational data. Another entry critiques the lengthy and costly process of obtaining an amateur radio license in Malaysia, contrasting it with the more streamlined FCC licensing system in the United States, citing a 1-year wait and RM 414 (USD 125) for 10 years in Malaysia versus 3 weeks and USD 14 for 10 years in the US. The blog also covers internal club matters, such as the 2007 Annual General Meeting (AGM) attendance and council elections, highlighting member dissatisfaction with outdated newsletters and a call for "reformasi." Additionally, it presents local phonetic alphabets in Bahasa Malaysia and Chinese, and discusses monitoring AM broadcast bands for international stations like Voice of America on 1575 kHz and Zhong Yang Ren Min Guang Bo Dian Tai on 1134 kHz, offering alternatives to local 2m repeater chatter. The author, "firstclass," shares personal observations and criticisms regarding the Malaysian ham radio landscape. -

The VU2BBB repeater, located in Matheran, Maharashtra, commenced operations in the late 1980s, a significant undertaking by the Bombay Repeater Society. This repeater facilitates VHF and UHF communications for local amateur radio operators, providing extended range and improved signal reliability across challenging terrain. Its establishment marked a key development in regional amateur radio infrastructure, offering a crucial node for local nets and general QSO traffic. The repeater's operational parameters include specific input and output frequencies within the 2-meter band, typically utilizing a standard offset. CTCSS tones are often employed to mitigate interference and ensure selective access for authorized users, a common practice for repeaters in densely populated areas. Regular maintenance and upgrades ensure _VU2BBB_ remains a reliable asset for the amateur community, supporting emergency communications and daily amateur radio activities. The _Bombay Repeater Society_ continues to oversee its operation, reflecting a sustained commitment to local ham radio services. -
