HAM RADIO Brought to you by<\/small> This is a community for all things Amateur Radio. See someone with a radio? Introduce yourself and exchange callsigns. Got your ticket years ago but never been on-air? Make your first QSO with a friendly con attendee. You\u2019d be surprised how many attendees are amateur radio enthusiasts and would love to share what they have learned. Who knows, maybe there is a flag for the hackers challenge somewhere around here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Getting involved is easy!<\/strong> Find someone with a radio and introduce yourself!<\/em><\/p>\n Carry your radio<\/strong> on your belt \/ clipped visibly if you are willing to exchange callsigns and\/or make an introduction. If you prefer to just have your radio and be listening along, put a red tag on your antenna so folks know not to bother you (look for people with the community patch, or swing by the Home Labs community to pick one up).<\/p>\n During the convention, we will be using these simplex<\/strong> frequencies:<\/span><\/p>\n 447.800 MHz<\/em> (primary) Any amateur radio that supports FM<\/strong> on the 70cm band<\/strong> (420-450MHz) will work. If you don’t have a radio yet and are looking for a cheap option, we recommend the Retevis RT-85.<\/p>\n Want to give DMR a go?<\/strong> We will be running a duplex hotspot on 449.250(-) with Color Code 6 and Talk Group 31671. Make sure to request your ID <\/a>well in advance so you are ready to go by the time the conference rolls around. (Any licensed ham can request a radio ID<\/a> even if you don\u2019t have a DMR radio yet.)<\/span><\/p>\n If you don’t have a DMR radio yet, we recommend either an Anytone radio or one that is supported by the OpenGD77 firmware<\/strong>. Many of us have the Retevis RT-3S and like it. Avoid the cheap COTRE or GOCOM radios unless you’re confident you know what you are doing.<\/p>\n If you are interested in P25 radios<\/strong> and\/or business band operation with encryption, reach out to @cleeb<\/em> who plans to bring an experimental P25 trunked system and keyloader to the con.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Special thanks<\/strong> to the Home Labs community<\/strong> for hosting our hotspots and providing connectivity, and to the Young Amateurs Radio Club<\/strong> for letting us borrow their talkgroup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n HAM RADIOCommunity Brought to you byklipper (N7KTS), cleeb (KZ0P), and v0rtex (KK7NOF) We will help you experience the fun of Ham Radio This is a community for all things Amateur Radio.
