Not much change for FM\nsatellite work, but improvements on the packet side and especially\nfor APRS.\n\n> One word of caution on spliting the audio at the HT.  DON'T DO IT.\n>\n> <snip>\n>\n> What you could possibly do is find and solder a 1/10, 2.5mm, plug to a wire\n> then run a couple feet to the splitter so there will be little or no weight\n> on the recepticle at the HT.\n>\n> Figured I'd save others from a headache.\n\nA good suggestion.  This problem may or may not present itself,\ndepending on how much stress is put on that speaker jack.  I will\nprobably rig up a short cable like Jeff describes in the near future,\npossibly by cannibalizing an old speaker/mic so I can have the\ntwo-plug connector going into the radio, to reduce the stress on the\nspeaker jack.\n\nNigel's suggestion of a speaker/mic is one I have thought of, and I\nwill try it the next time I'm out with the radio.  I have an old Kenwood\nSMC-34 speaker/mic, which has a speaker jack on the bottom of the\nmic, along with 3 remote-control buttons that can be defined in the\nradio and even a volume knob on the face of the mic.  I could put the\nradio on my belt, and use the 3 buttons to switch between VFOs\n(define one button as A/B) and do my tuning adjustments during a\npass (the other two buttons would be the up and down tuning\nbuttons), all without having to look at the radio.  This may be a bit\neasier than working the buttons on the face of the radio during a pass.\nMy splitter would go into the jack on the speaker/mic, and from there\naudio would go to my earpiece and my recorder.\n\nI'm still poking around with it, including working an SO-50 pass last\nnight.  So far, so good.  I've put a one-piece Diamond SMA/BNC\nadapter on the antenna connector, and have been using only antennas\nand coax with BNC connectors.  This adapter almost makes the radio\nlook like it came with a BNC connector, and now I don't have to fiddle\nwith the SMA connector.  I did the same thing with my other HTs with\nSMA connectors (VX-8GR, TH-F6A), so I would not have to stress\nthe SMA connector every time I want to change the antenna or coax\ngoing to it.\n\n73!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n\n",
