SARC Newsletter - Feb 2012

Scott, AB2G, passed on this gem to me:

It's a free programming package for many radios - Icom, Kenwood, Yaesu and more.  Just bring your own cable.
 
It can also import from csv, RepeaterBook or rfinder.
 
I discovered that (like many packages) you need to read your radio before you can edit the memories.

The Skyline Amateur Radio Club will be hosting its' monthly meeting at 7:30pm on Wednesday November 9th at the Cortland County Office Building, 3rd Floor Conference Room. Talk in on 147.180 (71.9 PL).

On Saturday nite at 7:30pm on LARC’s 146.91 repeater there is a SSTV net which is also a ton of fun. These guys are great and can get you going on a hope and a prayer!! Well maybe a radio and a computer!! The pictures these guys send back and forth are great. You don’t have to have an interface between your radio and computer …. These guys will show you to make it work without one!!!! I think I even have my rigblaster working (hope and pray) so I may even be there sending instead of listening
