6 QSO!

The previous five videos have covered many basics. Now, let's demonstrate how it all comes together in a sample QSO. A QSO is "ham talk" for a conversation over the air. In this video, we have a very short conversation with another station, demonstrating the use of the VALIDATE-ANSWER function.
Both the CALL and ANS buttons have two functions. In the case of the CALL button, it is General CALL and Directed CALL. For the ANS button, it is Validate-Answer and Answer,.
Validate-Answer is used when you need to establish a two-way communication with the other station. Note that if you do a call, and another station answers, you have, by definition, a two-way communication established. After all, they heard you, and you hear them.
When answering someone else calling, or trying to call a station via the ANS button after they have completed a conversation with another station, you only know you can hear them. The Validate-Answer function is used to find out if they can hear you, in a quick and painless manner.
Watch carefully in the demo as the receiver decoder captures the call sign of W2OL and automatically puts it into the CCS button. Pretty cool. No longer having to remember their call, write it down quickly, mess it up and ask for it again... Like I always had to do...

Seems hard to get a lock on decode. I’m guessing the gain was my fault. Operator’s error.

It does take a little practice to center tune a signal, especially if it is weak. Of course a strong signal does not require as much care. Essentially, as you tune, stepping up or down the band, when you first acquire a signal, keep stepping a few more steps and stop. Pretty simple and you are pretty close to the center. To get a feel for how many steps, try a few signals by counting steps from one side to the other. That will give you a good idea of how many steps you need for a typical signal to center the tuning. Note: number of steps depends on step size. If you are going fast down or up the band (100 or 1000 Hz steps), and hit a signal, you have no idea where the edge is, so you should drop to 10 Hz steps, find the edge, and step back to the center. Unless it is really strong...

Can we expand to the other bands? 80 and 20?

[@preppcomm]

If you own an MMX you can add any of the available bands by ordering the band cards you want. If you have a DMX-40, you can purchase a DMX-40 to MMX upgrade, and select which bands you want included in your brand new MMX. Read the directions - the upgrade menu item is in the Products menu. You will need to send in your DMX-40, and after we check it to make sure it is fully operational, we ship your MMX. And, the DMX-40 is factory refurbished and sold at a reduced price.
