Help programming a Kenwood TH-F6A
by Levi C. Maaia - K6LCM 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

Hi All, We had a new ham named Wendy, KK6HMC from Goleta stop in to the shack on Saturday. She is involved with the Red Cross and she first popped into our club station a few weeks ago to introduce herself. She is looking for help with programming her new Kenwood TH-F6A with local repeater frequencies. Does anyone have a computer cable and prebuilt program file for this model? Please let me know if you might be able to help Wendy get on the air. LCM Levi C. Maaia, K6LCM www.levi.maaia.com +1.805.604.5384

K9YA Newsletter
by Alain Michel 24 Jan '16

24 Jan '16

Hello All from San Diego, If you were not aware of this wonderful ham radio newsletter, K9YA TELEGRAPH", this is your lucky day! It is an 8 or 9 page newsletter almost solely devoted to historic ham radio subjects, mostly but not limited to CW. The February issue has a great article on a 1956 French movie, "If All The Guys In The World". The movie tells the story of French fishermen out at sea who get food poisoning out at sea and their only contact with the outside world is a French ham radio operator. You can subscribe to the newsletter to learn more about the story behind the movie: http://www.k9ya.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=60 Just though you'd like to know...

Re: [Sbarc-list] List of local repeaters, etc. for programming new radios
by Stephen Travis Pope 20 Jan '16

Thanks for all the input, here's a merged list of about 100 memories, including local repeaters and fire/PDs for the surrounding counties, plus FRS/GMRS/MURS frequencies (you could substitute marine channels for these). There are loads more repeaters listed in the repeater book app; can someone suggest which if any I should add? Should this file be a link on the SBARC site?

List of local repeaters, etc. for programming new radios
by Stephen Travis Pope 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

Hi all, Starting with a list sent to me by Wayne AF6GX, here's a file with memory data for programming a VHF/UHF radio. It's a csv file, meaning that you can edit it with a spreadsheet or import it into the CHIRP program to copy to your phone. My intention is to have all local repeaters, police and fire, and neighboring (Lompoc, Santa Maria, Nipomo, SLO, Ventura, 1000Oaks, ...) repeaters, as well as NOAA and marine channels. If you send me other interesting slots, I'll incorporate them. We should probably put this on the web site for newbies... stp W6STP -- Stephen Travis Pope Santa Barbara, California, USA http://HeavenEverywhere.com <http://heaveneverywhere.com/> http://FASTLabInc.com <http://fastlabinc.com/> https://vimeo.com/user19434036/videos <https://vimeo.com/user19434036/videos> http://heaveneverywhere.com/Reflections

how to prevent a Baofeng from transmitting on a particular memory
by Ken Alker 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

Per the discussion on this week's technical mentoring and elmering net: The way I've prevented a user of my radio from accidentally transmitting on the channel I have set for the sheriff (460.275MHz) is to set the channel up with an offset, as you would when programming a repeater into memory. In this way, one does not transmit right on top of the sheriff, but rather, somewhere above, or below. It still may constitute an "illegal" (and accidental) transmission, but better than illegally (/accidentally) transmitting right on their frequency. I also set power to LOW on that channel to cause the least grief if this were to happen. Then again, maybe being able to transmit right on their frequency is a plus (in case you get mugged while on a walk, or witness a crime, etc.). I wonder if this would be allowed in an emergency situation. Hmmmm..... I decided to try to find a way to set it to "off" (as Brian, K6BPM, indicated there may be), and after a lot of digging, it seems that newer firmware releases do have the ability. Per <http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/MemoryEditorColumns> you need to set "Duplex" for the channel in question to "off". I have tried this on my UV-5R and BF-F8HP (each with very recent firmware) and now when I press the PTT button the radio just beeps at me rather than transmitting. Ken

General license study guide?

Hello all, Does anybody have a general class license study guide that I could borrow? Thanks in advance...

Re: [Sbarc-list] General license study guide?
by Ken Alker 16 Jan '16

1) Be careful; it appears that reference is two question-pools old at this time (they update every 4 years, if memory serves, and Jay mentioned earlier in this thread that a new list was published in 2015). You'd be studying the wrong question pool with this guide (not sure how much they've changed, but they DO change). You may want to reach out and find out if author has updated the guide. 2) It would be best to send a link to things like these rather than the actual contents, as you sent a 1M+ file to everyone on the list (even if they were not interested in the topic).

Question about HF Frequencies
by Stephen Nelson 11 Jan '16

11 Jan '16

All, I have a question about the "current" frequency privileges for each license class. I can see that Novice merged with Tech class, but what happened to the Advanced class privileges? Did it merge with Extra? -- Stephen Nelson 斯蒂芬・纳尔逊スティーブンネルソン KD6VEX
