Amateur Radio Operator since April of 2005. My time as a Technician was primarily spent working for the community and various organizations to provide Emergency Communications. I originally became a ham to work DX but found enjoyment volunteering for the local community.

The Kenwood TM-D710 is designed as a nearly fully self-contained APRS station, with the ability to perform most of the common APRS functions built right in.

This is a page to detail how I remotely operate my Elecraft K2 HF transceiver via my home network. The method used should apply to pretty much any amateur transceiver that can be controlled by serial port.

Operating a modern amateur radio station, particularly for advanced digital modes or microwave experiments, often requires precise test and measurement equipment. This resource from NI (National Instruments), now part of Emerson, showcases a wide array of hardware and software solutions designed for demanding test objectives. Their portfolio includes modular instruments and configurable software interfaces, such as _LabVIEW_ and _TestStand_, which integrate AI assistance via _NI Nigel™ AI_ for code completion and sequence building. For those involved in RF and microwave work, the offerings extend to vector signal transceivers, RF signal generators, software-defined radios, and spectrum analyzers. These tools are crucial for characterizing antenna performance, optimizing transceiver circuits, or developing custom radio systems. The company emphasizes its 50 years of innovation, with 40 years dedicated to _LabVIEW_, highlighting a long-standing commitment to engineering solutions. The site also details products for data acquisition, electronic test, and wireless design, covering components like CompactDAQ modules for precise sensor measurements and various communication bus interfaces. Their events and perspectives sections offer insights into topics such as 5G technology and strategies for breaking out of testing silos, providing a broader context for their measurement solutions.

A 15-pin data switch, typically a rotary-knob type designed for DB-25 connectors, forms the basis for this microphone selector project. The resource details the conversion process, which involves replacing the original DB-25 connectors with **RJ-45** or **RJ-12** jacks to accommodate modern amateur radio microphones. It specifically addresses wiring for radios like the Icom IC-706 series (including the IC-7000 and IC-703) and Yaesu transceivers such as the FT-857, FT-897, FT-817, FT-7800, FT-7900, FT-8800, FT-8900, FTM-100, and FTM-400. The design ensures all microphone lines are switched straight through, with separate contacts for external speaker/headphone jacks, allowing simultaneous switching. The project emphasizes the practical application of switching between a headset for net control and a hand mic for rag-chewing without repeatedly plugging and unplugging cables. It highlights modifications to the original concept, such as eliminating a separate PTT jack by integrating PTT into headset cables and building the external speaker cable directly into the selector. The article provides guidance on managing the non-color-coded wiring often found in these data switches by soldering wires one by one from old to new connectors, ensuring correct pin alignment. This approach simplifies the conversion, making it accessible for hams seeking a functional and cost-effective mic switching solution.
