I went on Friday. Got one of those power meters from John at Quicksilver. I also bought a Tytera MD-380 HT’s. It is digital (DMR) and will do analog as well. It works well and the contact with a local repeater and simplex are improved in range, in part due to the difference in S/N ratio. I got the radio from the NH digital group and a half hour or so demo on how to program it. The radios are available from Connect Systems for $130 plus shipping. That includes programming cable and software. It is a bit of fun! Nice to have a QSO with operators from most any part of the world from the comfort of the recliner near the fire place, HT in hand with a favorite evening beverage!</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>If you are interested, you can find one here: <a href="http://csi-radios.com/radios.aspx">http://csi-radios.com/radios.aspx</a> UHF is probably best for CT.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>George</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>N1YAE</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> 450 [<a href="mailto:450-bounces@lists.vhfwiki.com">mailto:450-bounces@lists.vhfwiki.com</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Shawn Zupp<br><b>Sent:</b> Saturday, October 17, 2015 4:40 PM<br><b>To:</b> <a href="mailto:450@lists.vhfwiki.com">450@lists.vhfwiki.com</a><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [450] Meriden Fest Tomorrow</span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>Live from NEARFEST , Deerfield NH<br><br> <o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></body></html>
