Using HRD digital modes with VHF/UHF

[kc5uta]

Was playing around the hf bands with HRD and started to wonder, is there much action in the low end of 2 meters. Has anybody played around with some of the different modes on band other that hf or six meters? If so what kind of luck have you had? Thanks KC5UTA

I guess if you use SSB, it won't be an issue

When our club's VHF/UHF contesting station is in use, I have heard SSB & CW. I do not remember hearing much digital mode activity, in EN82.

The HRD I have won't work with VHF/UHF, or I haven't been able to make do so. This isn't the latest version, but the one before. My VHF/UHF radios aren't listed as options.

There's very little of the digital modes done locally, guess no one has felt the urge?

A little while back, I heard the Chester County Amateur Radio Club (PA) using a digital mode. I was able to decode it using HRD, so VHF/UHF digital use is probably out there, but sporadic.

sorry to hear that doc. : ( I'm a bit spoiled by my Ts-2000, and HRD isn't too picky about what it puts out...so far. I was just curious if "you guys" did much of that. I have, heard sstv done on a repeater once though, some kind of local net I caught during a band opening, that was up around Ft Worth area. Thanks for the relpies fellas.
