Ok, cool. Thanks for clarifying, everything makes sense now. I suspected that night be the case but thought I would ask first. I have TQSL all set up on my computer and QRZ uploads directly to LOTW. I also have N3FJP but the interface isn't as easy as QRZ. Thanks. Nick (KJ7VLM)

Hello, I’m having trouble figure out how to log a contact on LOTW. I can upload them from QRZ and view them but I’m just wondering to to enter them directly on the website? Is this possible or do they all have to be uploaded? Thanks. Nick

No, smart beaconing is turned off.

Funny thing, It did it once yesterday but that’s the first time in months. It used to do it every day. Not sure how switching to 3 minute intervals helped. I was hoping the guy that suggested switching it would chime in and tell why it would make a difference.

Ok, finally figured out what was going on. Somehow the speaker output was muted which meant no power output. As soon as I got it adjusted I got a hit. Thanks for the help!

How do you adjust the ALC? As far as I can tell it's not registering when I transmit.

I thought I would try again to see if I can resolve my issue. I can transmit and receive but am unable to get a response. I thought it may be that 10 meter is just too quiet so I gat a 6 meter antenna which improved the signals I was getting but I have tried to contact multiple contacts but...

strangely, I changed the interval to 3 minutes and it hasn’t done it since. Not sure why that is.

No, no external mic but I do have it set to less than 3 minutes. Does it matter?

Hello, I have a Yeasu FT-3DR and have been using the APRS function transmitting on 144.390 while out hiking. It works great but somethimes I'll notice it is stuck in transmit mode and the only way I can get out of it is to power cycle the radio. Has anyboy else has this issue? Just wondering if...

Hello, I've got my computer all set up and running on FT-8 finally but I have a question regarding the TX macros for the canned responses during the automated QSO. The first is already filled in with my call sign and grid coordinates but the other 5 are empty. I think I figured out how to enter...

Do you have a link? I can’t seem to find any on a google search?

How about this one? It says it requires a tuner though. Not sure if the tuner built into my FT991a is suuficient for tht or not? https://myantennas.com/wp/product/eflw-3k/ I won't be able to get is high as a vertical but I'm able to get plenty of signals on 20 meters with my 4010 although I...

Hello All, I'm looking for a good vertical antenna that covers 10 and 6 meters for FT8. I currently have an Imax 2000 which doesnt cover 6 m and seems very noisey despite a filter. I also have a Myantennas 4010 which covers 10m also but due to its design I can't get it nearly as high as the...

Great idea! I’m receiving on 20 meters so it’s working. Thanks! Do you know how to increase the db? It seems kinda low (20db) and the videos I’ve watched they are around 50db. They’ve showed adjusting the mic volume up but that does nothing on mine.

Yes there is a mac version but I'm not a fan of the Mac software but I do love thier hardware. I've also read that the drivers are not compatible with the new Mac OS they just released. It looks like I was finally able to get the two devices to talk without any errors but no data showing up...

Yes I have the drivers installed. I've been using RT Systems software without any issues so I know the driver is working. I used that guide for the initial setup but it's not working. I also tried a few other peoples ideas from videos and still nothing. I've decided to use my sons old PC with a...

Hello all, I've been trying to configure my FT991a for FT8 but cant seem to get it to talk to my laptop. I keep getting a configuration error. I'm using a macbook running bootcamp windows 10. Not sure if that is where the problem lies? Nick

Hello All, I'm trying to configure my FT3DR to reach the IO-101 satellite. They AMSAT site says it requires a 141.3 CTCSS signal. When I select the user CTCSS option the code selection is grayed out and I can't select 141.3? Do I just select "tone" then 141.3? I'm really new to this. Any help...

Disregard. Got it working with help from KC5AKB.
