Source: Plans for 2017 Station Upgrades – Radio, Shared Amplifier, and Remote Op Enhancements
We are planning a number of enhancements at our Ham Station this fall. Our plans include:
-
Enhancing our FlexRadio 6700 based Remote Operating Setup to include additional remote control client options, better networking via the Internet, and better integration with our microHAM system
-
Upgrading the second radio in Anita’s (AB1QB) operating position from the current Icom IC-7600 to a new an Icom IC-7610 SDR-Based Transceiver
-
Adding a new Elecraft KPA1500 Solid State Amplifier to our station. The KPA1500 will be shared between the Icom IC-7610 and our FlexRadio 6700 based Remote Operating Gateway
We try to do some station upgrades in the fall of each year to maximize our operating fun during the winter months. We are at the design stage on these projects and I wanted to share some information about what we are planning from our Stationproject Blog. We always welcome members who want to join in on our projects as a means to learn about station building. More to come as we make progress with these projects.
Special thanks to Dave, K1DLM who has helped us with ideas for several aspects of this project.
