Splits On The Air | YL Raisa Ham Radio Tutorial

[@victordenisov1412]

This is exactly the type of videos we need more in ham radio community. Lot's of people talk about ham radio but do not teach ham radio. Way to go Raisa!!!

[@YLRaisa]

Thanks, Victor. I always try to make useful content. But, to be honest, I'm afraid to talk about the technical issues of the hobby, in which I am not strong.☺

[@TomKristiansen]

@@YLRaisa well we r all amateurs, i do somtime make educational videoes and somtimes i am wrong, but that is how we learn, we all have lovers and haters. thats it is just going to be on YT. 73

[@bassmanjr100]

​@YLRaisa The technical piece is my favorite. I am very sure you are selling yourself short. You should talk technical anyway. If you don't know something, I have no doubt you could have people lining up to do a live to discuss. Or you say what you know and let people comment.

[@YLRaisa]

@@TomKristiansen You are right Tom! I wish you good luck with your YT channel

[@YLRaisa]

@@bassmanjr100 In my opinion, there are quite a lot of good videos on KZbin on the technical aspects of our hobby. I am good at conveying the positive emotions that we experience while doing it. ☺

[@radiotec76]

Great video Raisa! You literally show that there is a split button on these rigs. I go back to the mid 1970s when there were separate receivers and transmitters like with the Drake C line so operating split was easy. The one way to anger an operator on a DXpedition and the other hams adhering to the split is to talk right over the calling frequency.

[@YLRaisa]

I hope you don't do it 😉

[@digitalmediafan]

Informative ! I use split mode on my 7300 but only for 10m FM repeaters...some very nice radios featured and liking the dark and light blue finger nails Raisa 😊

[@YLRaisa]

Thanks Dave :) 💅

[@cprogrck]

I like how so many yt hams are talking about split now to help out the dxepedition folks.

[@YLRaisa]

This is a hot topic and it's great that those who do not know how the split works will find out that there is nothing complicated in this. ☺

[@ES1LL]

It is nice to see your smile again, young lady ;) When I worked with the special callsign fromES, I eve used split in digital modes, because if there is pile up in your freq, you just can't decode anything. For example, In case of working PSK64 I used split up 0.1-0.2.

[@YLRaisa]

I did not know that. Thanks for the info. 😃

[@robertgarland9342]

Thank you Raisa. You're looking as beautiful as always. Thanks for this video. I've only been lucky enough to work split mode once with a DXpedition station. Split mode can have its benefits but for me personally I just prefer to work on one Freq.

[@YLRaisa]

Yes, it is more convenient to work on one frequency, but there are clear reasons why stations are forced to work in split mode.😀

[@simontemplar0468]

Hi Raisa. Awesome idea for a video lesson. You are a great teacher. Thank you for making this video. Hope all is well with you and your family. 73 and 88....and hugs from your bro.

[@YLRaisa]

Hi Pat. Thanks a lot! 73 and 88!

[@silvanomoreno6950]

Hi Raisa, unfortunately many people still don't know what is SPLIT operation and insist on calling isofrequency on the DX station, worse still the POLICE OLDMAN who do more damage. Thank you for your videos always very beautiful and well made. 73 88's of I1WSM

[@YLRaisa]

Thanks Silvano. I hope some of hams will learn how to use split mode after my video ☺

[@mattpujol4787]

Very good! Right to the point. Now that we know how to set the TX frequency, here's a more advanced video idea around splits. The DX station will not usually listen on the same frequency. They usually tune up or down +-5KHz or so. Since good DXing is all about listening, you need to try to figure out who the DX station just worked and be sure you are transmitting somewhere close to that frequency. My TS-440 has a button called T-F SET. This is a momentary pushbutton that, when pushed, swaps VFO A and B. That means I can hear the transmit frequency and the tuning know will change the transmit vfo frequency. The pro trick is to listen to a few QSOs and determine which way the DX station is working their way up or down the window they're listening in. Then you position your transmit frequency so you're the next logical station to work. Again...great video, I really enjoy your content.

[@YLRaisa]

Matt, thanks a lot for the very good comment. I can't figure out what frequency DX is listening to ☺

[@mattpujol4787]

@@YLRaisa LOL....the trick is when you hear the DX say "WD5ACR?", you have to frantically tune in the DX window trying to find WD5ACR coming back. Then you flip back and forth listening to the QSO and then do it again for the next QSO to get an idea where the DX is tuning. Alternatively, you could just find a semi quiet frequency within the window and just call when the DX says "QRZ?", hoping for the best. I like to sweeten my odds a bit.

[@YLRaisa]

@@mattpujol4787 LOL 😃 Hope to meet you on the air Matt

Спасибо, Раиса, за пояснения! Эх, какие хорошие трансивеоы в фильме. :)

Let's just randomly press buttons without reading instructions 😂 This is the our method of the work.😊

[@YLRaisa]

😂 yes.... , it happens

[@247SH]

Thanks Raisa. I’ve been licensed since the 80s and never tried split frequencies on HF😮I’ll try it on my IC-756Pro😊

[@YLRaisa]

Wow! Thanks for your comment. I am very glad to know it is helpful to you. Good luck! Please write to me if everything worked out for you? 😃

[@247SH]

I will keep in contact, thanks.

[@israelkaczynski]

A beautiful radio station operator...

[@YLRaisa]

☺

[@IrishHamRadio]

Excellent Raisa! Strangely enough, because I don’t really go chasing dxpeditions etc., the first time I tried to operate split or even heard a station operating split was the Irish DXpedition to Antigua yesterday! They called it “5 up”, So this video is very timely for me 😊. I actually was manually flicking from VFO A to VFO B and was operating mobile 😅, so it was really difficult… I must figure out how to do it on the FT891 and do a little video for others like you just did..

[@YLRaisa]

Hi David! I like my Yaesu FT891, but I don't like the menu of this transiver. Your video will be helpful for me too 😉 I am looking forward to watch it

[@edd2241]

Excellent video. Thanks. Eddi

[@YLRaisa]

Tnx Eddi

[@Tank6883]

Great explanation. And great background music. 😊

[@YLRaisa]

Tnx 😀

[@afdl62]

Very nice instructional video my ham radio friend. Maybe those that don’t listen will see this video and understand that they will not complete a QSO unless they are split. If they listen a little bit they will know the station is operation split because they announce that they are. Keep up these wonderful videos!! 73’s and 88’s from Rick KS9V

[@YLRaisa]

100 % agree, Rick

[@bastiti4715]

A great tutorial. Thanks a lot. Also, as most brand use the same split system. It was easy to reproduce on my FT991a / TS-50. Thanks a lot Raisa.. 73 de ON4BCY

[@YLRaisa]

Yes, I was also surprised that the setting is approximately the same everywhere. 😀

[@kirk1618]

Great video, Raisa!!! Straight and to the point. Thank you for all you do for ham radio. 73 & 88 -de KN1B

[@YLRaisa]

I am glad you like it. Thanks Kirk

[@ВолодимирТимченко-о5ж]

Split хорошо использовать при большой разности частот, в т.ч. и диапазонов. Для небольших разностей частот часто используется режим "расстройка" (Rit) и он присутствует в большинстве моделей трансиверов.

[@YLRaisa]

Спасибо за ваш комментарий и совет :)

Hello Raisa, that was a very helpful video for me. I use Split with FT8 but I did not use it on SSB. Some DX Stations call 5 Up/Down. Thank you very much!!!

Thanks Raisa. I will be working 20 Meters split RTTY tonight with my home call, using my Kenwood TS-590SG. I'm worth 175 points in VOTA (Volunteers on the Air). For the rest of the week, I will be working as W1AW/1 starting off with 20 Meters RTTY (5 points). After that, who knows. I'll mix up SSB, CW, FT8, RTTY etc. 73 Paul AA1SU
