An easy way to use iambic paddles as a sideswiper. Sometimes you got to go both ways.
KN4YB DL 151RA Bug

I'm a beginner with bugs. In fact, this is my first one. Take this video from a beginners point of view. I set it up myself and was able to get the code speed range from 13 to 30 wpm. I don't think I can get it any slower, but I am pretty sure with experience, I could get 40 wpm out of it if I needed to. Not sure I'll ever get that high though.

Great video, I may look into getting one for my preps! this is so cool, ill do more research
Scott, How are you liking the "dual paddle" version of Tom's DL-151RA Bug? 73, KI5IO - Nolan K.
@@nolankienitz7822 I haven’t used it in awhile but I do like it. I can get it to run from about 14 wpm to my max of about 28 wpm.
@@KK4Z Scott - I've sent you a couple e-mails (QRZ noted e-mail address) with some more questions about the DL-15RA Bug. One of my questions is about the actual 'dual paddles' how do you like the action of that option? Most bugs just have the single-lever and Tom offers that option so I'm curious about that as well. 73 - KI5IO, Nolan K.
@@nolankienitz7822 It's different than a single lever for sure. Best bet is to try one yourself. I'm not sure what your background is with keys/paddles so YMMV.
I notice you are NOT wearing your required face mask. Are you intentionally trying to kill your fellow Americans? Are you putting your Grandma at risk? I’d advise you to start packing at once. The FEMA camps are awaiting your check-in. After all was said and done, geolocation technology was used by the ultra professional and ethical FBI to round up anyone who was anywhere near the US Capitol on J6. Remember the “enhanced sentencing” used to destroy the lives of many innocent patriotic American citizens? The charges were enhanced because there was a level-1 Secret Service protectee, incoming VP Cackling Commie Kamala, inside the premises. Well… it turns out she was at the DNC HQ. Why, you may ask,? Because the pipe b0mb “found” there was “Plan A”. See Dan Bongino’s show from Friday. 73 brother
Great to see ya
Howdy, Scott. A 20+ year trucker friend of mine and I have worked up to general now. He's about ready for extra test, I have just started the study. In my eyes, the learning is just now beginning by doing exactly what you are saying....to get out and test our stuff and mostly practice. Thanks for sharing these! Mark. KQ4PFB
That is excellent. Congrats on your general class license. You are correct, get your gear and use it. Oh, and have a little fun while you’re at it.
Yaesu thanks.
Did you ever figure out how to get that neat little magnetic paddle??
That paddle isn't made anymore. I got a Begali Adventure which works well for me.
Is this possible using my garmin watch and usb cord?
I'm not sure. Your watch would have to be able to output the GPS information in a format the computer app can use.
Yes there are quite a few methods Please check this out
Good to see you out there Scott! Fun weekend and great video as always!
Seems like the reviewer knows quite a bit about the Icom but very little about the features of the 710. I'd have to give this review a "zonk".
I'll take the zonk as it wasn't an in depth technical review. I treated it as an average user using it under average conditions. As I have said many times. Depending on your preference, either radio will serve you well.
Faltou a tradução para língua, afinal ninguém é obrigado a saber essa lingua chata chamada "Ingles"...
YOU WERE THE ONLY CONTACT I GOT on 5-11. SO THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that noise is the CICADAS!
Saw your call sign and hopped right over to it. Band conditions were flaky.
You definitely can camp at Fort Massac! If you visit again, set up next to the river and you can also count the Lewis & Clark National Historic Trail and the Trail of Tears National Historic trail for a threefer. (Check the official websites for those two trails for more information.)
Tnx for the info. Next time I'm up that way I'll check it out. It seemed like a really nice park.
Looks cool!
Thanks for sharing this stuff. Hope you're well.
Hey buddy. No problem. Trying to help folks along.
What a fun adventure! You will like your 7100. It is my only transceiver, and I still prefer it over other radios.
I have it the shack for the time being. I like it. It reminds me of my 706. I think it's going to be a keeper.
Great video! de W2CSI
I had enough with icom 7300. The touch screen was not function suddenly.
I think that if you used both radios with other operators nearby for situations like field day, you would see a large difference. The yaesu filters the input before looking at the selected band. The icom on the other hand looks at the entire band and nearby operators will desensitize the icom, not so much for the yaesu. To use the icom in this manner you would need to add bandpass filters. You bring out good differences in the HMI or GUI's but not so much between the radios abilities.
Having had both radios for a while, they "hear" about the same. Both are SDR radios. I still use the 7300 during field day and when set up correctly, it does just fine. In another video I compared the 7300 to the FTDX10 during the CQWWDX CW contest and whatever I heard on one, I heard on the other. I feel the FT-710 and IC-7300 are equally yoked and either one will serve you equally well. The 7300 has the edge when it comes to CW and digital.
Great video! de W2CSI
I have a 7300 and love it, however, I just installed the ATAS 120 in the truck and seems like I should get an 710 or FTDx10 to use portable? How well does the tune in the 710,work with the ATAS? How well does the internal tuner itself work. I am considering getting rid of the 891 as well?
I am not a fan of the Yaesu tuner. It seems that it only works with Yaesu products. I normally use an LDG tuner and I could not get the 710 or the FTDX10 to work with it. Since I have been happy with the LDG for many years, I was not ready to fork out more money for the Yaesu. It shouldn't be a problem if you are already married into the Yaesu system. Using the LDG tuner with an Icom is plug and play.
I have owned both of these radios. They each have their perks and quabbles. As being just a casual HF'er I prefer the Icom due to ease of use and I have always preferred Icom programming. It is just so much more fluid. Yaesu programmer can be quirky at times. However, once you get past the first level of programming the Icom is a lot like the Yaesu. I do believe that the Yaesu is a little quieter than the Icom. I do love some of the features on the new Yaesu. Having the ability to connect an external monitor and a mouse are awesome, especially as my eyes get older. I still fee like the Icom has a better scope and waterfall, but I do enjoy Yaesu's offering of different colors on the scope. I also like the big menu page on the Yaesu that I did not like at first. But, when you pull up the Yaesu menu page you can see all of the settings at a glance. The downside though is that you have to scroll through the page to get to what you want. This is where the mouse is a Godsend. I love the scope on the Yaesu compared to the Icom, but on the Icom for digital modes the multimeter display is a must. Doing FT8 you can see your SWR, ALC and power output and drain all at one time. On the Yaesu you can only see one of these at a time. If you have it on ALC you won't see that suddenly your SWR has shot up over 3. I did have that problem running FT8 on my FT-710. That is why I have gone back to an Icom for my digital modes. They are both good radios. I just wish Icom would update the 7300, but that probably won't happen. I am sure they want me to just buy the 7610. Thanks for posting.
If I’ve owned a Toyota Sequoia for years and then got a Cadillac Escalade and was asked about ease of use, I think it would be very easy to say the Toyota was easier to use just because I know where every thing is instinctively from the years of use. This is the same for Icom/Yaesu. This comparison of ease of use, if truly a correct comparison, could only be valid if you had someone that did not know anything about either brand. Whatever brand you buy is going to be a great radio and in a little time either brand will be instinctively easy to use.
insomma qual'è meglio?
Press the DSP knob and turn it until you have the item you want to change. Press it and it blinks, then turn your knob to the desired value. Press it again. It stops blinking. Rotate the knob to another item and you do the same thing again. You were trying to rotate the knob when it was blinking. HTH and thanks.
Price?
place a bade, a mobile. couple hand held in a faraday container. as well as supplys to get back on the air after a emp hits earth. ( man made or a solar event).
Scott I would be interested in that radio but I'm gonna win one at the local hamfest in 2 weeks LOL. GOOD LUCK with your sale, nice rig!!!!!
Own both. They are both great. 710 for POTA, 7300 for QTH. 73
Neat idea, will try this until i have enough spare money to buy a proper sideswiper. Nice Begali by the way. Best 73
Im not a fan boy of any of them but i wasn't terribly impressed with the 7300 but after 43 years as a ham it takes a lot to impress me.
Hi Neal, while not a Fan Boy per se, I do like the IC-7300. I've been a ham for over 28 years and what I have discovered, is Icom SDR's perform very well, if you set them up correctly. What you did on the old analog radios, doesn't always translate to an SDR. Thanks for visiting my channel.
Curious on your comment on pota being unruly...last pota I did was Thanksgiving in a. Louisiana. Enjoy your cw
I have had that happen before. I need to get the key going again been to long. But need many other things done first.. Thnnks for sharing. I check out why on your site..
So I am still torn between the FT-710 and the Icom IC-7300. I want to use it for FT-8/4/ and other data modes (to include winlink, packet, rtty, psk-31 and others) as well as SSB. I presently use the FT-891 but I can't on having issues with the signal link and the software. I just want to plug in the usb cable and that's it (for the data modes and CAT control). So how do you feel is the best for what I am looking for. A buddy of mine has the IC-7300 and I do like it. but the FT-710 is $100 less right now on sale.
I like the cw ninja, thanks for the video. Stay warm out there!!
Thanks
I appreciate you for doing these. On lesson 12 of 22 for the tech license, slow go as things to do. Even though I don't understand everything you're saying now, it should start making studying better as I get into the general book and things start coming together. Don't want to just memorize, but understand. Thanks. 🖐
Hey Brother, good to hear from you. Slow and steady wins the race. I look forward to hearing you an the air.
Stay warm
Got to see it in operation.
Roofing! = bpf. Also make left/right comparison on yt. The only way to listen to the same signals
@@KK4Z but a BPF is not a roofing filter. The roofing filter is the filter through which the first IF must pass. the BPF you see is in the DSP filtering itse;f, not before that stage. My roofing filters in one of the rigs are in the 700 MHz range and definitely before it's entering the DSP. You cannot compare them. You could compare if you would have put the lower and upper freq of the DSP filters on both rigs at the same values and not engage the roofing filter. I say yes to the ears as a ood DSP, but youtube streams very good audio and now I cannot even closely think of what is what as I don't hear them at the same time. Also, the bw used on both means that there is no reason to have it high quality at all. I did this between mcHF, and ICF 7600 Sony radio, malachite and a 7300. left right. the malachite ended up as the worst, even while the group told everybody that it's the best receiver. Just left right, same freq makes it worth. (I also have heard elecraft vs icom, also left/right... interesting resolts there.)
I 've been there twice under the oaks. Beutiful spot
Hey Tommy! Good to hear from you.
Nice activation.
Tnx David. It's a great place for a day activation.
It comes down to this: The Yaesu has better noise reduction and is superior in this respect. The Icom has a better user interface, and is easier to use in this respect. If ease of use is more important, the Icom is the better radio. If noise reduction and/or sound quality is more important, then the Yaesu is the better radio. Personally, noise reduction/quality is much more important than ease of use, so that means Yaesu is the choice for me.
Im an icom purist and love the ft-710, I find the user interface simple and to the point. The 7300 is an awesome radio but its design is 6 years older than the 710 which is an eternity in electronics.
Ich finde denn FT 710 für die bessere Wahl zum einen im TX die Modulation viel besser als der Icom wo man denkt das einer die Nüsse zwickt auch die RX Audio ist auch nicht das wahre dazu noch mit der Uhr und Batterie ! Deswegen denn Yaesu das bessere Radio und Bedienung ist einfach wenn man weis wie ! Zu Notch ist der Yaesu auch besser nicht kompliziert !
Exactly 💯
@@KK4Z Interesting point of view. If you can't hear the difference between the two radios (The FT-710 is clearly better, and well documented), then you obviously don't value that aspect, and should logically choose the better user interface (Icom). However, if you truly can't hear the difference between them, it points to other issues such as proper operational techniques, extremely noisy environment, poor location, poor antenna, or maybe even hearing loss. But that's the benefit of the free market; you get to buy what you want.
I needed that park . Thanks . 22 parks left
i missed ya again
They will be more. It wasn't the best propagation. Tnx for watching for me.
Very nice activity. I wish you all the best and lots of fun with your hobby. Greetings Ferry, HB9FEV
I've been a yaesu man for a very long time but Icom does blow the dx10 away
I still have the FTDX10, I mainly use it for casual CW stuff. There are some things L like about the FTDX10 but, if I could only have one radio, it would still be the IC-7300.
Thanks for the video. Im a painter and use the 5.11 vest at work, the back pouches are used to carry caulking and fit 10 bottles. But as you know they're products are getting expensive so i was looking at an alternative.
