BAOFENG UV5R received

Ordered 30April  received 11/5 yesterday  morning form Hongkong
A Package with 2 boxes  containing  the UV5R  Handheld UHF/VHF 
transceiver.
All was correct there was a green custom sticker marked with "Toys" I was lucky not charged by the customs.
The UV5R + extra battery + leather case +magnet car antenna+ programming cable+ SMA-BNC    complete + shipping  it was just below 100€


But not much time to play with it since Friday afternoon was preparing for the Rondje Fluessen Catamaran race.
Cool heavy wind  to 6BF. waves  cold water.
But we survived. No damage finished place 12 of 20 cats
We did not sail the 2nd leg because of too low temperature.

mean time  I let WSPR running  at 70.091MHz   160/80/10m
the WSPR DX index for 28MHz was zero  not a single DX report
but VK7AB did report  some DL's 300km south of me.
the low band also  zero DX for me.




De BAoFENG UV5R porto
Na wat proberen en tips  werkte hij.  De handsfree en externe microfone PTT werkte eerst niet. Na paar keer in en uit pluggen 
was dat ok. Automatisch repeater open tone bleek  menupunt 13  tone 7 CT-CSS 82.5Hz te moeten zijn.
De programmeerkabel  moet stevig aangedrukt tot klik toen werkte de PC verbinding ook met  software BF5R_VIP_CPS.EXE
De TX viel in eerste instantie na een paar seconden uit. Bleek dat de accu niet voldoende geladen was  hoewel de laad-indicator gewoon steeds het maximum 3 bars had. 
Doorladen tot groene led.
Nu nog een   xxx.dat bestand  zien te vinden met gangbare frequenties met PLD en MARIFONE.
Ik kan hem nu op de fiets gebruiken..

Hallo Jaap ben vaak QRVmet de kleine broer vcan de UV5R. Heeft wel wat minder pwr maar oke. Meestal zit ik op repeater PI2DZL omdat dat de enige repeater is die ik kan bereiken. PI3GRN kan ik wel horen maar krijg ik niet open. Zit te ver weg en zit net de liftschacht voor deze kant uit. Het CoVersity kanaal ging altijd wel erg goed, maar ja....dat is er niet meer. 73, Bas

Bas oke ben nu weer op reis
Alexandria op dit moment
De UV5R werkt goed
Kan PI2DZL en de Stads 70cm goed bereiken
430325? dacht ik

wel WSPR nog aanstaan
op 4 80 160m

heb mijn Flex1500 meegenomen nog niet kunne proberen.
12V voeding kan ik niet vinden toch vergeten blijkbaar.. Er word gen voeding meegeleverd door Flexradio lastig want de plug heeft een afwijkend dikke midden pen standaard 12V passen niet moest een overgang kabeltje maken
al met al is het lastig vanuit een hotel. Ik kom steevast op de laagste verdieping terecht.

2011-01-22 DIAMOND 2m 70cm 1m30 Colinear inside

Having relative poor signals on the local 70cm / 2m channels using this X50 Diamond collinear 70/2  1m antenna at a height of 25m. I needed to investigate what could be wrong. Measuring the cable only 3W is left for the antenna of the 10W 435MHz output from a IC451E The cable is 30m type H100 Z50 10mm outside diameter it is semi air-spaced but has an impossible 4mm² solid CU inner conductor not much air left. I preferred the H43 Z75 cable having lower loss and mechanical better ratio in conductor size. My antenna uses SO239 connector UHF type semi air spaced isolator.  3W should be enough for a comfortable noise free FM signal. But only 27km away at PA0A the signal is weak too weak something must be wrong? I made a simple reference dipole of 2x17cm CU wire. With this dipole the signals where totally worse. So the Diamond does work? I got curious to look inside. Maybe moisture penetration degraded the antenna. This  antenna is rainwater close in its n...

SPF5189z Low noise preamp 23cm

 14-4-2018 updated Above the low noise  preamp 50 - 4GHz    ebay  6€ Tested  2 small porto antennas 1 Baofeng UV antenna left   2nd best signal on PI2NOS 2 eBay DIAMONDSRH805S  wide band 144/432/1200  it works for its size as expected 3 piece of wire :   best signal in the setup... Unit under test at workbench. It was stable  50mA  at 5V   few days,  but sudden the current went up to 100mA And i could  no longer adjust it with the negative bias Voltage. The - Voltage went to zero and the SPF input port became low Z. This SPF5189z was broken  no oscillations, no input overload just it broke while i was receiving the PI2NOS 430.125 using a small antenna at the workbench. The specs of  SPF5189z  say it has an internal circuit  regulating the bias current. Replaced . again   with an other of the 5 spare SPF i have. The new one again could be adjuste...

TS790 cat interface

A CAT interface  for the old TS790 144/432/1292 tranceiver to work with N1MM  including the internal CW keyer DTR and "PTT" RTS and WSJT MSHV with "PTT" control Using the 3€ FTDI USB serial interface picture bottom page first i bought the Kenwood USB serial interface cable that cable has the TS790 special 6 pin DIN plug this interface works well ...as long as you cut the 4-5  wire bridge on the ACC din.. with the wire bridge it did go offline after 30 seconds or so  Kenwood interface cable with CH330 eBay 15€    This type Kenwood interface cable uses a tiny 6 pin USB CH330 chip  The driver is CH340 known for Arduino it workes in W7/10 64  It has only TX RX Usart function no DTR RTS available  The TS790 settings are 4800b 8bit data 2 stop  default  N1MM does not list the TS790 it has the TS890  but that one does not support modes the TS2000 does support freq and modes and let you switch 2/70/23 it seem...
