256 memories enable the _AT-AUTO_ to recall settings across multiple bands, making it efficient for operators who frequently change frequencies. The tuner is compatible with various antennas and amplifiers, such as the Mercury LUX, and integrates seamlessly with radios like the FLEX 6400 using an RS232-USB connection. This integration allows the tuner to follow frequency changes without additional input, enhancing operational efficiency. Despite being out of production, the _AT-AUTO_ remains supported by Kessler Engineering, which offers firmware updates and repair services. The tuner features a cross-needle SWR meter, providing quick visual feedback during tuning. It also includes a QRO keyline circuit to protect amplifiers during tuning. Users appreciate the tuner's ability to track radios via CAT control, avoiding automatic tuning during QSOs, a common issue with other models. The _AT-AUTO_ is praised for its durability and performance, with many users noting its reliability over years of use. Its ability to handle legal limit power and its balanced line output make it a versatile choice for serious operators. Although it lacks some features like multiple coax outputs found in other models, its robust build and continued support make it a valuable tool for HF enthusiasts.

An introduction to NPR by Daniel Estevez. In this blog article Daniel EA4GPZ / M0HXM, introduce the new IP communication protocol over the 70 cm amateur radio band. Daniel is an experienced operator on IP on 430 MHz with CC1101 and Beaglebone black project and makes a good comparison of the two projects.

Clarifies the intricate process of calibrating the _Elecraft K2_ dial, addressing common user challenges and lively discussions on the Elecraft reflector. Wilhelm, W3FPR, dissects the K2's PLL synthesizer design, chosen for its low phase noise, kit-friendly duplication, and cost-effective components. The resource emphasizes the critical role of the 4000.000 kHz reference oscillator's accuracy during CAL PLL, CAL FIL, and CAL FCTR functions, noting its dependence on temperature and crystal stability for optimal performance. Explaining the K2's frequency display, the document reveals it relies on microprocessor-driven look-up tables generated by CAL PLL for VFO values and CAL FIL for BFO values. In SSB and RTTY, these combine, while CW and CWr modes also factor in the sidetone pitch. The author details inherent limitations, such as the 10 Hz increment resolution of the dial and varying PLL step sizes—from 3 Hz on 160 meters to 10 Hz on 10 meters. BFO increments range from 20 to 35 Hz, collectively limiting practical dial accuracy to within **20 Hz** with diligent effort, or **30 Hz** for a slightly less demanding task. The guide outlines a four-step calibration procedure: setting the reference oscillator, running CAL PLL, running CAL FIL, and setting all BFOs. It highlights the _N6KR Method_ as a particularly easy and accurate approach, requiring only the K2 and a known frequency source like WWV for zero-beating, eliminating the need for external test equipment.

The West Virginia State Amateur Radio Council (WVSARC) operates as a central coordinating entity for amateur radio interests throughout the state. Its primary function involves fostering cooperation among various local clubs and organizations, ensuring a unified voice for the amateur radio community within West Virginia. The council addresses matters pertinent to state-level amateur radio operations, including band plans, emergency communications preparedness, and regulatory issues affecting local hams. Historically, the WVSARC has played a role in organizing statewide events and providing a platform for information exchange among its member clubs. This structure helps to streamline efforts in areas such as public service events, disaster response drills, and the promotion of amateur radio to new licensees. The council's activities contribute to the overall health and growth of the hobby by facilitating communication and resource sharing across the diverse amateur radio landscape of West Virginia.

Details the history and cessation of the Amateur Radio Association of Bahrain (ARAB), operating under the callsign **A92C**. Established in 1970, ARAB functioned as the primary representative body for amateur radio enthusiasts within Bahrain for several decades. The organization facilitated various amateur radio activities and provided a central point of contact for local hams. The resource indicates that ARAB ceased operations due to unspecified circumstances. It explicitly states that the organization is no longer active, marking the end of its long-standing service to the Bahraini amateur radio community. Information regarding a newly formed society, open for membership, is provided, with contact details for Fawaz, **A92AA**, for further inquiries about the successor organization.

Determining the characteristic impedance (Z) of an unknown coaxial cable, a common challenge for many radio amateurs, can be resolved with a straightforward method. The impedance of a coaxial cable is derived from its inductance and capacitance, and importantly, these values are independent of the cable's length or the operating frequency. This means that measuring a random length of cable, such as 20 meters, provides sufficient data for calculation. The core of this technique involves an LC-meter to obtain the inductance (L) in microHenries (uH) and capacitance (C) in microFarads (uF). The impedance is then calculated using the formula Z = L/C. For instance, a measurement yielding L=1.2uH and C=450pF (0.00045 uF) results in an impedance of 51.6 Ohms, closely matching **RG-58** specifications. Similarly, a TV coaxial cable with L=1.8uH and C=320pF (0.00032 uF) calculates to 75 Ohms. While the accuracy of this method, depending on the LC-meter's tolerance, is approximately 10%, it proves sufficiently precise for practical determination of unknown coaxial cable impedance, as noted by Makis, SV1BSX, who credits Cliff, K7RR, for the formula's dissemination.
