Thanks James, your activation videos are a pleasure to listen to. Smooth sending, radio quiet locations and the IC-705 sure sounds nice! Cheers VK3KR
Thank you David, it was a nice location for a park activation and fortunately the rain held off. I appreciate the feedback, 73
Wonderful educational content for both young and old. Thank you for the inspiration to keep learning and space for community!
Thank you for the feedback, it is much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed the video, 73
Another enjoyable video James. Was good to work you during the video. And during the RD contest this weekend. Keep up the great work ! Pete VK1AAF
Thank you Peter for the WWFF and RD contacts, good to get you in the log. Hope you enjoyed the contest and got plenty of contacts, 73
AWESOME ACTIVATION 👌
Thank you Kishor, the bands conditions were very good during the activation. I even made a SSB contact to Spain on 40m (not recorded) which is a first for me, 73
Where's all the audio distortion coming from on the incoming c.w. signal?
The audio from the internal speaker of my radio distorts with strong CW signals. I have not seen this issue with other IC-705s so it seems to be an issue with my radio. The problem is reduced or eliminated by reducing the volume or using headphones, 73
@@vk2ter guess it probably makes the cw easier to read when its square wave. Had receiver audio distortion on my ft817 forced me to get rid..dont think i ll go for a 705 now lol.
@@tonystephen6312 I think the audio distortion is an issue with my particular radio rather than with IC-705s in general. Even with this issue it is still one of my favourite radios, 73
Nice activation James, is that a CW Morse key?
Jumping in :) It's American Morse Equipment. I'm eyeing the single paddle version so nice to see it in action.
Thanks Andy, it is an American Morse Equipment Ultra Portable Paddle, 73
@@noisetinkerthe Ultra Porta Paddle is a very nice key, I enjoy using it. The single paddle version also looks good, 73
@@vk2ter Thanks James, just ordered a Mini-B single lever!
The Mini-B key looks nice, very compact. Let me know your views on the key when you receive it, 73
