Recently I ran into an odd problem: I could send MMS text messages from my phone, but not SMS text messages. Typically, when you have a problem, you can send SMS and not MMS, but this was the opposite. It took me several days to figure it out, so I …
Recently we had a small snow storm blow through our area. It's pretty common in Alaska, so it wasn't too big of a surprise. However, after 8 inches of snow and a little wind, the power went out at 3 AM. Fortunately for me, I try to be prepared, and …
We've probably all gotten an email message in our text app on our phones. Often, these are unwanted messages of some sort of spam, but occasionally are messages from doctors offices, clubs you are part of, or for official correspondence from some organization.

Been a little busy lately, but I still managed to find a little bit of time to play around with my TS-820 and laptop. I was using the signalink usb to listen in on other people's CW conversation. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the CW transmitting to work with my setup …
Lately I've been playing around with old school Bulletin Board Systems (BBS). This is something that you can still do over the internet, but it also is something you can do on HAM radio. I was testing out several clients recently, and one that I had to compile was a …
In my last post, I talked about using FLRIG and rig control in dummy mode to work with PAT and Ardop to send and receive emails. That worked pretty well, but is difficult to set up and do, as you have to perform all the functions manually. If you have …
Last post I talked about trying to use PAT, and it wasn't working very well for me. I had set up PAT and Ardop, but I kept getting errors and couldn't start trying to connect. Essentially, since Ardop couldn't talk to the radio, it assumed it wasn't on and couldn't …
