Online Radio and TV

eham.net is one of THE locations where you can find most everything on amateur radio. Whether it’s links to other amateur radio sites, classifieds for used equipment or reviews. Let me say that the reviews section is what I’ve spent the most time on. When I look for any piece of equipment [...]

The Icom T90A is a nice looking tri-band amateur transceiver (sending on 6M/2M and 440) with wideband receive. It has weather alert scan, 555 memories (scannable). THe transmission power is either 5 Watts or .5 watts selectable (high/low). It looks like a fairly nice little unit, metal case. I don’t recall [...]

Another amateur handheld that’s caught my attention is the Yaesu VX-2R it’s a microminiature (I’ve read that it’s smaller than the picture appears.) It has wideband receive and transmits on the 2M and 440 bands. The output is 1.5 Watts on 2 Meters (144-148 Mhz) and 1 Watt on the 440 band. [...]

In the western part of the state of North Carolina, there’s also the Blue Ridge Amateur Radio Club out and about covering mostly the Henderson County area (NC). They seem to have an active group with a monthly newsletter online which can give an insight into the groups activities.

This list comes from http://www.rcarc.com/rptrlist.html which is based in Rockingham county, NC.. I haven’t compared this list to the last one, but for completeness, I’m adding the link in this post. Rockingham Countes Amateur Radio Society website also has more information on the Triad area radio waves and other neat resources, so it [...]

There’s a good online listing of North Carolina UHF/VHF repeaters http://ham-shack.com/repeater_nc.html. The list is at http://ham-shack.com/ and you’ll find some other intersting information there. In fact, they may make it into the sidebar links. The main reason is that they have tons of info on amateur radio including a United States repeater [...]

Here’s another good list of amateur radio projects. A lot of these look like neat small projects, some fitting into altoids boxes, etc. There are somewhere around 46 projects linked from the link above….
