Beyond in-person gatherings, GARS facilitates on-air activity with a 2-meter net operating on 145.525 MHz every Tuesday night at 8:00 PM. Additionally, a DMR net is hosted on Thursday nights at 8:00 PM via the _GB7GY_ repeater, catering to digital mode enthusiasts. These nets provide opportunities for local members and visitors to connect and exchange information. Phil Cooper, GU0SUP, serves as a key contact for the society, managing inquiries and web content.

Constructing a digital interface for the Elecraft K2 transceiver, this resource details the "Fat Wire" design by WG4S. It demonstrates how to integrate a sound card for digital modes, outlining specific connections to the K2's microphone jack and internal audio path. The author shares practical insights from his build, including the use of _RG-62_ coax for its flexible braid and the strategic placement of components like the 2.2K resistor and _2N2222_ transistor. The guide provides a breakdown of the interface's internal wiring, specifying connections for AF In (pin 1), AF Out (pin 5), PTT (pin 2), and Ground (pin 7) on the K2's microphone connector. It also covers the external connections to a laptop's headphone and line-in jacks, along with a DB-9 connector for PTT control via _DTR_ or RTS lines. The author notes that his laptop's headphone output level was sufficient for the K2, negating the need for an attenuator. Reflecting on the design, the author, Dan WG4S, acknowledges a later suggestion to house the components directly within the DB-9 shell for a more compact build. This iterative feedback highlights the ongoing evolution of DIY ham radio projects and the community's collaborative spirit in refining designs.

Mobile RFI, often manifesting as persistent noise in the receiver even with the antenna disconnected, frequently originates from the vehicle's power supply system. This guide details systematic troubleshooting steps, beginning with isolating the radio from the car's 12-volt supply to confirm the power system as the noise source. It emphasizes the critical importance of drawing power directly from the battery using **heavy gauge wire**, bypassing the fuse block to leverage the battery's natural capacitance for RFI suppression and ensuring a solid RF ground. Proper routing of power lines through the firewall is also covered, advocating for dedicated grommeted holes to prevent inductive coupling from other wiring harnesses. The article stresses the necessity of fusing both positive and negative leads from the battery, a crucial safety measure to prevent damage to the rig and mitigate high-current risks should the battery's engine block ground become compromised during service. Addressing **alternator whine**, a common high-pitched noise that varies with engine speed, the resource suggests checking battery connections and the alternator-to-battery harness for looseness or corrosion. It also mentions the utility of adding an external RF noise suppression capacitor in parallel with the alternator's internal capacitor for enhanced filtering, and the effectiveness of commercially available in-line power supply filters.

For over 50 years, Communications Specialists Inc. has been a cornerstone in specialized radio frequency solutions, initially gaining prominence with their **CTCSS** and **DTMF** tone signaling products widely used in amateur radio repeaters and commercial two-way radio systems. My own experience with their tone boards in various repeater builds confirms their reliability and ease of integration, a testament to their engineering. The company's legacy in tone encoding and decoding is well-established, providing robust solutions for access control and selective calling. Beyond tone signaling, Com-Spec has diversified into niche markets, including wildlife telemetry, pet tracking collars, and specialized tracking systems for model aircraft and rocketry. Their product line features compact transmitters and receivers designed for specific tracking applications, demonstrating a commitment to precision and durability in challenging environments. While some legacy products are no longer available, Com-Spec continues to innovate, as evidenced by the new R-30M receiver, which ships within five days. This focus on specialized RF applications, from tracking Alzheimer's patients to law enforcement, highlights their unique position in the radio communications industry.
