Thank you…. The Rigol DSA815 was so affordable compared to my first SA (HP/Agilent) It’s now affordable for the “ham” to do shop work at home.

Good morning, I have a question to ask you that perhaps is not entirely relevant to your knowledge. However, I am sure that with your enormous knowledge you will be able to give us excellent advice. Last summer, my son and I accidentally threw a balloon into the sea and gradually saw it move away towards the horizon. From that moment the curiosity became immense. If we could monitor that balloon in real time we would always know exactly where it was. It would all have been extremely fascinating. Now this is exactly what we ask you, if my son and I wanted to throw a soccer ball into the sea and monitor it via a smartphone or a PC, what tools should we use? Thank you

yes it can be done. in fact our community is already doing it but not with a ball. We use a long 4 or 6 inch pvc pipe. put parts inside, seal it water tight and put it in the ocean. We have an antenna that sticks above the floating pipe. the pipe floats vertically and in these cases carry a bunch of 6 batteries. We use the same tracker that we use for our balloons. We use the same on line tracking program built for ham radio and we get reports as it moves across the ocean. you need a ham radio license. here is an article about the ham radio bouy. www.arrl.org/news/high-school-marine-buoy-transmitter-now-active-on-20-meter-wspr

Hello did you ever get this working properly with the duplexer I have had no luck with any distance
@kathymedlin1569
@kathymedlin1569 2 ай бұрын
is your duplexer tuned to the two exact frequencies? also it is easy to make a mistake and not match the correct port to the correct tx or rec connections. when you say distance, i guess you are talking about range. you have to have height. if your trying to operate at 20-30 ft in antenna height you wont get but a couple miles. not worth doing it. also found that these radios are not very sensitive.

Have you been able to find a COS and PPT so this can run as a standard receiver and transmitter out of repeater mode and interface with a PI? It can be done by rf but direct connection is better. Another question is does it have a TOT? And does it get hot are the heat sinks large enough?
@w5kub
@w5kub 3 ай бұрын
We cancelled our project. These radios were not suited very well for repeater. There is no cos. Also you can not put audio into the mic connection. The audio in to the radio is a digital signal. All the audio is converted inside the microphone then sent to the radio in digital mode via the mic jack. The connection cable (tip, ring, ring) to make them a repeater is not audio and ptt. again it uses some from of digital information. In testing the radios, after about 40 seconds of transmission, the power started dropping fast and to the point where they stopped transmitting. You are better off using a conventionals radios where you can pull off cos and also have ptt and audio input. You can not easily find any where to connect an IDer since all is digital. You could problaby connect an IDer in to the front of the mic.

I just started studying for my amateur radio basic qualification exam in Canada at the start of April, and started listening to all sorts of ham stuff on Spotify when I stumbled across this. Brett's song at 16:15 is a nice treat! I caught myself whistling the tune today at work haha. This was a good first episode of this radio show to stumble across. Where can I hear all of Brett's songs?

Brett has only 3 songs so far and they are on our channel. Did you know you can watch the live video show every Tues night at 9 PM Eastern on w5kub.com we also have a 2 hour audio show on shortwave radio each week on 7490 WBCQ.

Hello ole friend. Bill Lowery W5WPL Texas. Sorry I haven’t visited your Hamfest lately. Hope this finds y’all well. I don’t see any movement in your u tube water column. I use to use two of these while testing duct for leaks. Apparently I’m not seeing what you’re seeing. Oh well, I’m old lol. Wish I could get my hands on a magnehelic, I’d send it to you. Do you have a P.O. Box? God Bless everyone in your universe. 73s ole man. W5WPL

This video is unbelievably helpful to me! I have one that I bought from another repeater owner 3 years ago…I used it for about a month then started having trouble with it …So sent it out 2 times for tuning same guy came back worse than it was …so put it on shelf for a year or longer and sent it out again to a different company for tuning came back pretty good lasted a couple weeks …so back on the shelf again…The other day for no good reason I hooked up my VNA to just one can and it look ok not perfect but not that far out of tune. I accidentally bumped the can I was working on and it fell on its face! So tapped it again and it was back tap again and gone…Found My Gremlin! I don’t know if I can fix it or not and it really don’t matter …but if I can …I would love it …. I really like this old equipment. So if I can fix it, I will need this info to tune it …I have more in tuning and shipping than what I paid for it …So thank you for doing this video …Dave

How did you attach balloon to air hose? I watched your other video with shoelace. Tried shoelace, but it leaks all the time.

I cut some rubber from an old intertube about 10 inches long and 1 inch wide. wrapped the valve and tube with the rubber then put a stainless steel hose clamp on it. that way it does not damage the balloon material.
