Icom Incorporated

Justin, favorite

rig? Big fan of the Yaesu 101 series, but right now I'm getting my ICOM 97 hooked up to do satellites, so I'm hyper-focused on that.

Okay, very

cool.

Yeah.

I know Marcus added, added that into, I know it's in the SDR control now for the ICOM radios.

It'll probably be, merge into the other apps too i can't i

was gonna say i think he has like i mean i i i would think you'd want to use like a memory button um during that time i mean it's like you have

like the smart sdr that flex produces has a memory bank you can go in and choose certain ones and i think as smart sdr does as well so i don't know why he wouldn't use that instead of uh he's

using the

icon He's using SDR for ICOM.

I don't think ICOM

And if so, what kind of rig you got and what kind of antenna are you all setting up?

We're going to be setting up a GP3 for an ICOM.

It's an ICOM mobile radio, but we got a transformer to go and hook up to it.

so that, you know, if we can run it off of electricity and or off of a car battery in an emergency scenario.

So got back into it, though, because of friends.

However...

ICOM.

Um, well that's true.

Well, in terms of use, that's true in terms of user interface.

So who knows? Anyway, so that's that.

That's the biggest project that's taken up really all the time.

The last thing I'll just mention is I am signed up to get an ICOM 7110.

I'm on the list.

This year's selection includes gear from QST product review articles, vintage books, pre-owned equipment, signed original sketches by Salty Walt Hudson, Kilo 4 Oscar Golf Oscar from Salty Walt's portable antenna sketchbook, and four popular mystery boxes contributed by the ARRL lab team.

Back in 2015, seven years before the pager plot even began, Mossad started planting booby-trapped walkie-talkies inside Hezbollah's supply chain.

The targeted model was the Icom IC-V82, a VHF handheld radio that the Japanese manufacturer had actually discontinued in 2014.

The units floating around Lebanon were either counterfeits or old stock that had been quietly replaced with modified versions built at a Mossad facility in Israel.

Hezbollah bought more than 16,000 of these walkie-talkies from a fictitious company at an attractive price.

Blah, blah, blah." Oh, well, okay, but Motorola and Hytera.

Hytera's Chinese, but Motorola and Tait Radio and several of the other ones, Kenwood, Icom, Yaesu, Alinco, they're not making DMR radios.

They're not making dual-band DMR radios.

Some of them don't make DMR radios at all.
