It will take a bit of time to become acquainted with this 'rig'. However, as long as the net is up, this site can be used to monitor radio communications throughout the world(both amateur and others).

I've been playing with this net radio for about 15 minutes, and have already figured out many of the features.

Thanks!

Yeah, that's a good one. Gets very busy at times though and will give timeout errors when there are too many users online.

Great a new toy to waste time on.

I might have to take a look into this. Been a while since I used my radio operator knowledge from my Air Force days. Would be fun to try it out and see if I still have the knack for it.

Gamer: "Sky King, Sky King, do not answer" repeat as necessary. Try 11.176Mhz, USB. Still some HF comms, most good stuff is on encrypted satellite links.

 

[The Gamer]

I remember actually doing Sky Kings for transmissions to my other sites during war games. Ahh the memories. I have heard now they are not using the radio's we used, they are all Sat Comm equipment. So instead of an URC they now carry laptop's and Sat dishes. Wish those were around in my days. Those radios weighed a ton.

I will go and check that freq out when I have time.

My brother is currently hot and sweaty for this model:

"The Yaesu FT-857D is the worlds's smallest HF/VHF/UHF multimode amateur transceiver."

Here's a page with links to other web SDRs around the world:
http://websdr.org/

"A WebSDR is a Software-Defined Radio receiver connected to the internet, allowing many listeners to listen and tune it simultaneously.

SDR technology makes it possible that all listeners tune independently, and thus listen to different signals; this is in contrast to the many classical receivers that are already available via the internet."

Tell him it's a great little radio. I've had one of those in my shack. If you have the license it's easy to mod to work the military HF and public safety bands and can meet or exceed NITA specs. Combine that with an autotuner and a frequency agile antenna system and you can work anything from across town to halfway across the world. I have that radio matched with a 43' vertical antenna with over 1000' of ground radials and even running barefoot I'm usually one of the louder stations on the nets.

I know several ops that have SDR's in their shacks, and that is all they use now.

With this online SDR, it could be used to see how your signal is being heard.

Just finished with the installation of a high power HF mobile in my BOV truck.
I will see if this SDR can hear me.

Remember, when all else fails, there is ham radio.

Regards to all,
