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...
