Automatic Picture Transmission (APT) is used by Satellites to enable a fully automated unattended reception of the transmitted pictures.

The NAVTEX system is used for the automatic broadcast of localised Maritime Safety Information (MSI) using Radio Telex (also known as Narrow Band Direct Printing, or NBDP).

This is a 6 band receive only filter designed to protect your receiver front end and provide 45dB reject at the stop bands. This is a 6-band receive only filter designed to protect your receiver front end and provide 45dB reject at the stop bands. Stop band reject may be limited by the relay isolation. Worse case isolation is at 28 MHz or 35 dB or better. Relay K3/K8 protects the filter during transmit via the PTT line. A 25-50ms delay must be used between transmit and PTT. Do not rely on your radio to provide adequate delay with out using the PTT. You logging software must be set to allow a delay between PTT and time of 1st transmit. This filter will not work with VOX or QSK keying as you will damage the filter.

This online guide details the microphone pinout for the Kenwood TR-7950 transceiver, specifically addressing the wiring configuration for a dynamic mobile microphone with a **500 Ohm** impedance. It provides a pin-by-pin breakdown for the 6-pin microphone connector, identifying the function of each active pin. The resource specifies that Pin #1 is for the microphone audio (white wire), Pin #2 controls the _PTT_ (black wire), Pin #3 activates the memory down function (blue wire), and Pin #4 controls the memory up function (red wire). Pin #6 is designated as the ground connection, while Pin #5 remains unused in this configuration. The document focuses on the physical wiring necessary to restore microphone functionality to the Kenwood TR-7950, a transceiver capable of **45 watts** output on the _2m band_. It directly addresses the technical challenge of re-establishing correct electrical connections after microphone wires have been disconnected from the connector. The information facilitates proper microphone operation for simplex QSOs and other voice communications. DXZone Focus: Online Guide | Microphone Pinout | Kenwood TR-7950 | PTT Wiring

This document details the design and construction of the PA70H, a 50-watt RF amplifier for the 70MHz (4-meter) amateur radio band. Built around the Mitsubishi RD70HVF1 MOSFET transistor, the amplifier delivers 45-55W output with 3-5W input power while operating on 13.8V DC at approximately 7-8A. The PCB design incorporates multiple protection circuits including overcurrent, SWR, and temperature control. The amplifier features various control modes including GND PTT, +13.8V PTT, and RF VOX. Two versions are available: PA70HLI (requiring 100mW input with additional driver) and PA70H (for 3-5W input). The comprehensive documentation includes circuit diagrams, assembly instructions, and performance data showing successful operation from both 100mW and 3.5W input sources.

This online project guide details the construction of a homebrew boom microphone system. It details the assembly of a microphone shell from a 3/4" PVC pipe section and an end cap, requiring a drilled hole for a snug fit of the electret or condenser mic element. The internal wiring schematic specifies a **2.2 K** resistor and a **47 uF** polar capacitor for signal conditioning, with a circuit diagram provided for integration with IC-706 series transceivers. The guide outlines the use of CAT-5 cable for internal connections, incorporating strain relief at the rear of the mic shell, and an inline 3.5 mm jack to facilitate an external _PTT_ line, designed for a foot-mounted switch. Further construction involves fabricating a microphone shock mount from a 2-inch PVC connector, detailing the creation of four "fingers" and the insertion of screw-eyes for attaching elastic bands, which are twisted 180 degrees for tensioning and vibration isolation. A foam wind screen is also incorporated into the microphone assembly, secured with adhesive. The boom arm itself is repurposed from an articulated architect lamp, with the original lamp assembly converted into a **60 watt** resistive load for testing power sources. Microphone cabling is secured to the boom arm using wire ties, ensuring sufficient slack at hinge points to maintain articulation. The boom base is mounted to a bookshelf, requiring specific positioning to achieve proper microphone placement in front of the operator. Performance evaluation of the microphone system is conducted through on-air audio signal reports from other amateur radio operators.

INTERCOM is a freeware application designed for remote control of KENWOOD TMD700/710/V-71 transceivers, as well as other transceivers equipped with UP, DOWN, and PTT commands. Compatible with Windows XP and higher (32 & 64-bit), INTERCOM offers multilingual support in English and French, and can be used on Linux, Ubuntu, or Android platforms via WINE 1.0 or CROSSOVER. The software enables users to send basic commands—such as selecting TX, VFO, memory channels, or power levels—either through manual inputs or over a TCP/IP link. INTERCOM is tailored for SIMPLEX setups, facilitating the interconnection of VHF/UHF repeaters with nearby repeaters. Remote commands are transmitted using DTMF codes, which are decoded by SIMPLEX and forwarded to INTERCOM via TCP/IP. This functionality makes INTERCOM an ideal tool for radio enthusiasts and operators seeking seamless remote management of supported transceivers in simplex configurations.
