Ribbit digital text messaging mode for HF/VHF/UHF - Ribbit is a novel digital text messaging mode for VHF/UHF communications for recreational and emergency use which radically increases the density of information transmitted by spectrum used. It leverages the computing power of the modern smartphone to increase the capabilities of any Handy Talkie without requiring any additional hardware or cable. A Ribbit message is fixed in duration at 1250 milliseconds. It is sent over audio modulation with a 2kHz bandwidth centered on 1.5kHz. It is preceded by 400ms of white noise to open analog squelch circuits.

Repairing a dead Kenwood TS-850S ^new - The author fixed a friend's Kenwood TS-850S radio, which suffered from Capacitor Plague, a common problem in 1990s electronics where capacitors leak and damage circuit boards. The CAR board, responsible for generating signals, was especially affected. The author cleaned the board, replaced the capacitors, and repaired a broken trace. Although the radio mostly functioned afterward, the "Slope Tune" control behaved abnormally. The cause seems to be a software issue, not a hardware one.
