And the owners manual doesn;t specifically state that the rig accepts DTMF commands for ops. Better sounding options over the stock mic: the Icom SM-20 or the Heil iCM... http://heilsound.com/amateur/products/icm/index.htm Clint Bradford, K6LCS -------------------------------------- Clint Bradford, K6LCS / KAF3359 909-241-7666 - cell

Mak puts it into perspective. When one thinks about it ... surely on a par with the veritable old RS-10 regarding activity and enjoyment.

Hi, I'm the president of PropelX (www.propelX.com <http://www.propelx.com/> ) and a member of AMSAT . I've come to the conclusion over that last couple of months of asking questions and offering to help on satellites (only to be jerked around), That the only space that AMSAT is concerned about is their own . I will not be renewing my membership. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1GOGdNdQNc Brian Beckius

Re: DTMF with the 910H Jeff, I too wanted DTMF with my IC-190 and IC-746. So i bought an Icom HM-118TN DTMF Microphone from my Icom dealer, snipped off the connector, then wired it up to an appropriate Mic connector for the IC-910/IC-746 and voila, a DTMF Mic! Works fine, sounds great. Put the stock mic away in the box never to be used again. Hope this helps. 73 de Kevin VE7OVY > Date: Sat, 22 Mar 2008 16:11:57 -0700 > From: Jeff Mock <jeff(a)mock.com> > Subject: [amsat-bb] Alternate microphone for Icom-910 > The stock microphone on the Icom-910 works fine, but I'm wondering if > there is something a little fancier available.

Re: WorkedGrids v6 Ham Log Grid Square Mapping Software
by Bert, VE2ZAZ 23 Mar '08

23 Mar '08

Hi Everyone, Version 6 of the WorkedGrids software is now available for download on my website. This version adds a zoom-in feature and an auto-detection of the band data for the ADIF and Cabrillo formats. This means that there is no longer a need to examine the log file when using an ADIF or Cabrillo format file. WorkedGrids is a ham log grid square mapping software. It is a freeware and it runs under Windows. The program displays a map showing the amateur radio grid squares contacted and logged in using a third-party logging program. WorkedGrids uses colors to display information on a per-band basis. Up to four bands can be displayed concurrently on the map. For its input, the program reads the plain-text (ASCII) log files generated by most logging programs as well as ADIF-format files. This project was initiated because I could not find a logging program that provided the level of detail and mapping quality that I wanted. The software is directed towards the VHF and above operators who collect grid squares for contesting or award purpose. It is designed to supplement a logging program and it replaces the pen and paper technique. Please visit http://ve2zaz.net for more details. Your input is still welcome! Best Regards, Bert, VE2ZAZ __________________________________________________________________ Looking for the perfect gift? Give the gift of Flickr! http://www.flickr.com/gift/

Alternate microphone for Icom-910
by Jeff Mock 23 Mar '08

23 Mar '08

The stock microphone on the Icom-910 works fine, but I'm wondering if there is something a little fancier available. I wish the mic had DTMF buttons and maybe better direct control of the radio. It seems that some Icom radios have much fancier microphones. Does anyone use a nicer mic on the 910? jeff AD6EO
