Ham radio is an opportunity for individuals to play with raw radios where the operator has direct frequency control of the equipment, to transmit to each other across a wide selection of frequencies from most of the RF spectrum. We have a community of hams, licensed in our local country, and we can talk to each other around the world. We get to work together locally to build projects including stations, networks of stations, and some tech/science experiments. It's social, educational, and creates capabilities for us as a group and individually and opens up geo-physics and some powerful toys for fun and exploration.
I have worked for 4 decades to help that community and to exchange ideas and experiences with other hams.
If you are a ham, you can find my bio and links to some of my projects on QRZ.

signal generator testing tait tm8110 rx
I'm going to leave the purpose of this video a mystery. Who knows?
The signal generator is an HP 8656B. The radio is a Tait Tm8110 on 147.555. The devices next to the radio are TARPN NinoTNCs.

KA2DEW puts crimp pl259 on rg8x

If you've had enough of people racing through the process of putting a connector on coax while giving you lots of face time, this video is the opposite. Here all the mistakes are made and discussed. I slowly and clumsily strip an end of RG8X with a cheap plastic stripper, fine-tune the strip with a box cutter, then crip the connector on, backtracking a couple of times, and then solder the pin, ...

3 NinoTNCs pounding away at 9600 baud - May 2020 - NCPACKET is a TARPN
มุมมอง 1.6K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Here is a video of one end of three point-to-point links working hard at 9600 baud in the NCPACKET network. A single USB cable is run to a Raspberry PI (across the room at this point) running G8BPQ PILINBPQ in the TARPN configuration. There are three NinoTNCs, on 147.555, 441.475 and 446.475 talking to three other nodes. The 4th TNC is idle until I get another radio hooked up. I need some anten...

Using Google-Earth to check terrain between two radio sites
มุมมอง 2004 ปีที่แล้ว
I'm using this to do see if pairs of hams have a UHF path between them. We use this for NCPACKET org to build out our TARPN (terrestrial Amateur Radio packet network). To do this, click on the RULER tool, then the PATH tab, checkbox Show Elevation Profile, then click on your starting location. For UHF path analysis, be very specific about the ground location above which your antenna is placed. ...

cavity filters for packet link
มุมมอง 4414 ปีที่แล้ว
One of our packet node stations had several radio systems on UHF including Dxing repeaters, an existing packet link, and a business radio he needed to operate. We wanted to add another packet radio network link for our social-media-over-radio project. The initial tests of that radio interfered with all three of the existing radios. This wouldn't do. Using some cavity filters found at a local ha...

2018 exploring CNC TARPN
มุมมอง 2305 ปีที่แล้ว
I used a terminal from the FFVC node to explore the packet radio network in central North Carolina in October 2018 The main feature of the TARPN concept is that the network can saturate the RF links, giving optimal performance at 1200 baud packet. The saturation is possible because there are never collisions on the links. In this video I connect from the middle of a 9-station long network, then...
two UHF TARPN links at one site - Cavity Filter

My network neighbor, VON, has two TARPN packet links on UHF, both using 25watt surplus commercial radios, both with yagis. The links are on the same mast in his attic and they interfere with each other. Since these are TARPN links they can both be saturated at the same time, i.e. one receiver could be copying something critical while the other transmitter is on the air. The interference is enou...

This is the kind of stuff that makes me think of actually using my license. 😂 73 KI4OTK
Although Iam not a fan of crimp on UHF Coax connectors, this is a great video! As for the excess solder on the center conductor, I usually use an all metal fingernail file, makes quick work of smoothing out the center pin!. Again, great video, thanks for sharing!🇺🇸😏👍
Would be nice if we could get these parts in Europe. Ordering from USA gonna cost me another 50 Dollars on VAT Taxes and handlings cost. I like that there are all through hole parts and db-9. A GPS would be nice to see and a round dc power jack.
Love those Kenwood commercial rigs, and the 9600 bd packet of course haha
dont molest the braid
That's the dumpster fire version.
I have the crimper system from DX Engineering, pricey but nice. Great video, 73.
This was a big help to me crimping on PL59 to LMR-240. Thanks for the video.
Thanks. Thinking of buying one or two of these kits.
73. Thank goodness for AB4OZfest.
Ohhh the NinoTNC do not plug into Pi headers- only USB. Correct? I am ready to move on from my 2 TNC-Pi which are now a source of much frustration.
They plug into USB. See the web page tarpn.net/d for more info.
I like your power supply. Can you tell me what you have on top of it -k4hcq
I think that is a DROKay variable output regulator. its cool feature is it can put out > 5v to the USB connector making it ideal for powering a modern Raspberry PI at 5.2VDC. Here's a search string to find the DROK device DC-DC Buck, DROK Power Supply Module LM2596 DC Buck Converter 5V-36V to 1.25-32V Step Down Voltage Regulator Stabilizer 3A 5A CC Volt " de KA2DEW
I prefer to use scissors for trimming the shield, they cut cleaner than nippers.
your coax stripper doesn’t have the depth adjustment screws... you get what you pay for.
You should be able to adjust the blade depth on your stripper.
Should. I Did not have what it takes to make it work correctly. I gave up and spent $15 to buy another stripper.
Being in Western Johnston County I doubt I can hit a node to start building and learning more about ncpacket and tarpn
Zack, contact me via my qrz.com/db/ka2dew email address from QRZ. Let's do it.
Thank you for this video. DE WA1KLI
Is the crimper and rg8x available on Amazon or where else can I buy them?
I use QSRADIO.com as a supplier Amazon offerings are inconsistent. Some great deals, some ripoffs. Amazon ratings system is confusing because somebody gives a rating for a product which then shows up in somebody else's offering for the product, but the somebody else might be a rip-off artist. The rating may not even be for the same version of the product. I use Amazon quite a bit, but you have to beware and be aggressive with Amazon when they send you trash. QSRADIO has been very responsive, responsible, and fair. That said, QSRADIO does sell some good products which are available cheaper elsewhere. But all of the elsewhere venders (ebay, amazon) are riskier.
@@taddinraleigh Thank you! I found the same things to be true buying from Amazon.
@@taddinraleigh I just ordered the crimper and the pl259 connectors from quicksilver. I do have a bunch of solder connectors with adapters but I use a Weller sp120 for soldering the braid and solder station for the center pin. Too much hassle and I'd rather use the crimp connectors. Thanks again!
thank you for the demo! (Mike~KF6HKU)
Nice setup! May I ask what model are those Kenwood Radios? Are they packet ready, or do they need any special mods? KH6PRD
TK8180K-1 no mods. One issue is that they require a pretty strong signal for 9600 to work well.
is this available now?
we have shipped 210 of the A2 model as of Apr 20. We have 10 PCBs for the A3 on hand and are writing assembly instructions and testing modes and whatnot. Some code work was required between the A2 and A3 and more code work is desired. We'll probably be ordering a for-sale batch of the A3 boards in the next week. Pre-orders are open. Check the web site for new, info, and assembly instructions. tarpn.net/d. also there is a groups.io list for this and our other packet radio projects. All on the info site.
What kind of softwares do you use with packet? What can you use for chat and file sending?
We use G8BPQ PINLINBPQ on Raspberry PI. It can send files and chat. See this video TARPN-HOME New Year's Eve chat Dec31-2019 to Jan01-2020 th-cam.com/video/1l9RJdTW0bA/w-d-xo.html and also the web site tarpn.net. and ncpacket.net. There are many youtube videos tagged with "TARPN".
Very cool. Must be a great sense of accomplishment to get network of that size up and running
Dylan, you helped! We learned many things from your work.

What a beautiful and affectionate cat! Amazing. He looks very much like my deceased baby. I miss him so much. Mine used to wake me up and lullaby me to sleep with purrs and kisses everyday for the past 9.5 years until he died suddenly. Sir, sometimes their heart defects don't show any symptoms until they die suddenly. It would be wise to do an echocardiogram at a veterinary cardiologist to rule out this disgusting disease. I miss my boy terribly and find it difficult to just function since he died a month ago. Enjoy yours every day cause sometimes they "leave" unexpectedly and suddenly.
