Hello all I am trying to install 73 Linux on an ACER Laptop running Mint Linux OS. I am working with my neighbor and fellow ham Willy (KJ5BWB) @williammassey291
nd Linux expert. I saw this program over at another friend and fellow ham Steve (NU5D) at his place. And liked the way it looked. But we are running into issues trying to install the app.

Question about the Alpha Delta DX LB Plus HF Wire Antenna. Where are your adjustments made on this antenna ? On the Coil or the gray wire. And is the 40-m and 75-m and 160-m the wire in between the two coils on either side ? I was doing some maintenance on the antenna this morning. Tightening the hardware. And looking it over. because yesterday , Saturday November 30, 22024 I was operating this...

Mid Summer cool front and rain in JULY !
มุมมอง 1305 หลายเดือนก่อน
Here is a VERY RARE Mid summer cool front and storm at the end of July 2024. Since I lived here I can only remember this once. And it was in July 2005. Now sometimes we normally start getting weak cool front around mid August. Then we get into September and my NOT get ONE. And normally around the end of October (Around Halloween) We will get a strong cool front that brings in fall too the area....

sorry but i cant sit through a penis ad. .
As this video is old I'm assuming you've already figured this out. But just in case you have not Google "Stryker 955 Run time error Overflow" Download the zip file, from the stryker website. Extract it to your desktop. Open the striker software, Then at the top left corner click on where it says " file" Then click on "open" Select the "955 9 _ 2022.dat" file you just downloaded and extracted. Click "open" Then click Write to radio to save the changes. Turn radio off then back on. Now the Run time error '6': Overflow Error should be fixed. Now you should be able to "Read from Radio" when you run the stryker software the next time. After you've made your changes don't forget to write to radio! Also after you've made your changes it's a good idea to save a backup of your modified file , just in case there's ever a problem in the future.
Thanks for the tips James, well done.
first thing id check is your time settings. another thing that would be interesting to try is even though you were sent a confirmation, ignore it and enter your own. see if they can confirm yours
Did you ever figure out the trick for auto connect?
So, are you still using the antenna and is it any good?
My cereal antennas just like that but mine has more radios is coming in great
Frankensein radio
You got it to close metal
Thank you!!! Kf5fct
Chinese junk
An now my 6666 did same thing
Mine started like that then just stopped working altogether
Update: Thursday 20241024 The Gama Match (Ring) was installed backwards. Everything's working fine now.
It is 248 inches from the tip down to the bottom of the bracket!!!!!!!! Your antenna is too short!
I have a Amytone 5555N2, and it does it with three different mics. Mic is not the issue on mine
CAT TOT has nothing to do with FT8. It is a Time-Out Timer (TOT) for CAT commands from WSJT-X software. FT8 interactions switch the radio TX/RX back and forth every few seconds and the TOT aspect ensures that a command issued by WSJT-X completes on time (Which it does most of the time) by the Transceiver. So lets say on average every CAT command is complete in about ~5-12ms, you have more room to wait at 1000ms or stick with 100ms which seems the most reasonable time for the electronics to respond back and forth.
Google this: stryker software runtime error #6. Takes you to the Stryker website, and you download and load a file into the software. Mine works now.
Good afternoon, can you tell me which coaxial cable is inside the antenna please, I have one and would like to recover it, thank you. 73 de CT1EYF.

Can I adjust this antenna for a length of 250 inches?? This would allow me to use it in the 12 meter range which is my primary interest. Thanks for your reply!
You surely have the answer by now, two years later but if memory serves, the manual actually says "on the longer standoff", not longer "tuning tube". :-)
You should push to talk and check in to net control you will be logged.
I watched your video with interest . I have v 3.1.7. I do exactly as you show, but it shows me as Lurking. It appears NCS must let a station in.
I had the same problem. I repaired it with a Tool named 3kg Hammer. Smasched the crap, and so i got back to HF
Hi Jim. You can see if a device is being seen by opening a terminal and running lspci and/or lsusb. What I would do is unplug the device, open the terminal, run ‘watch -d lspci’ then plug the device back in.
To stop the watch command, just use CTRL-C
Hi James … what did you eventually do to resolve your issue? Rob EA7LAF
excellent vid. all the others start by creating a net. i just wanted the answer on how to log into a net so this was perfect.
I had this antenna and could not get the counterpoise tuned right. The company was awesome help, but we couldn't figure out why it didn't work. sold it!
I have the same problem with a PK 232MBX, just thought about this, might email Winlink and ask them to see if they know.

À croire que les électroniciens sont de moins bonne qualité que les années 80-90 😒

You've probably given up on this a while ago. Reformat the SD card with a new image. If you have a USB to corded network dongle, you could plug in that way. I have a monitor on the HDMI port and a powered USB hub on mine. On the hub is a network dongle, keyboard, and mouse. It makes configuring much easier.
One question. Where is the high current?
Exactly! The rattle snake can bite you even without giving any warning to move away
A short, but *very Important* Safety Message!!!
"It's always looking for ground" WRONG! Electricity seeks ALL PATHS BACK TO IT'S SOURCE. That will include ground when the system has a grounded reference point (Neutral, center point of a three phase wye, or one side of a single phase step down transformer (L1 or L2) is grounded.) People need to stop perpetuating that "seeks ground" myth. That myth has led to many people getting shocked or electrocuted because they thought they were safe ("because I'm not grounded/touching a ground point") and they end up getting bit.
Ever watch 'The Current War' and find out that Thomas Edison truly was a scoundrel and a scumbag and not a person to celebrate or remember except for his bringing forth the deadly currents of DC into all the neighborhoods with nasty wires all hanging about because it cant travel long distances.
Compare that with this guy Kreosan: m.th-cam.com/video/TIb1TImL_RI/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUUS3Jlb3NhbiBtaWxpb24gdm9sdHM%3D
Is that was from the begining or it happen after a time? Because i have all schematichs and some solution of this problem.
yea. i confirm/ tht is Clearwater
heres a comment as a user you know exactly how to use the swr analyser,theyre great arent they.
Wierd
My guess your problems on 40 are because the antenna is too close to your house or other structures. I had a similar problem with mine. When I relocated it more than 20 feet from our house 40 had a much lower vswr and my problems of RF in the shack causing my computer to crash went away. In the meantime the rf problems were helped with ferrite rings from Palomar. they worked much better than the ones from Amazon (of course).
I bought a new computer and it has windows 11 on it. I am running around and trying out all the ideas that everyone else has tried. yaesu 450d to Signalink and to the computer. they make this really hard for an old man.
We're y'all at there for the tornado in temple?? I though I was gonna die, and my cousin works at spare time and the roof got ripped off while she was inside, but she's ok tho
You need to get the power company to look at the transformer and ALL connections and wires to your house. Do it before you lose your electronics. If several electricians have looked at it and none have told you to get the power company involved.....stop using them. They aren't good electricians.
They all told me to get the power company (Oncor) Involved. Every electrician that has been out here says everything they can find is good. Oncor keeps telling me their equipment is good. My next step is to write a letter to the Texas public utilities commision.
So the radio will connect without being hooked to a wifi or hotspot? I'm missing something here and can't find video 1
Ok I found the first video but I cannot connect to either one of them with those numbers though the app
