Il y a quelques jours, c'était séance dessoudage de filtre oxydé avec @toine512.fr puis ressoudage des nouveaux filtres.
Après essai, la radio fonctionne bien mieux ! 🛰

Maintenant, y a plus qu'à s'y mettre. On se retrouve sur les ondes ? 👀

Mainly Yaesu (FTDX1200, FT857D) but I have all kind of HT's, from Kenwood to Icom.

A sprzętowo..

Tak wiem - same jaśki - tak wyszło

Agreed, it is high time I put a common mode choke on and some ferrites on my data lines. The FT817ND was fine, the FT857D even run at 5W, not so much.

I'm currently decoding all WSPR and FT8 bands using two instances of WSJT-X v3, using the HF+ for WSPR and a Yaesu FT857D for FT8, feeding data to https://wspr.aprsinfo.com/ for WSPR and https://shorturl.at/ENYjH (PSK Reporter) for FT8. All HF bands are scanned several times per hour.

I'm in the process of enabling transmissions from my station using my vintage - but pristine - Yaesu FT857D. I've been lurking as a listener since the 1990s!
