To use a standard headset mic with the Yaesu 8900 there’s a bit of adapter creation that must be done. Surprisingly, there isn’t a lot of information out there about how to do it. Upon the need to build a new adapter for the in-shack 8900, it shall be documented here.
KE8LDH 442.5125+ is back on the air for real! After previously bringing the repeater back online, the system has been hit with a series of misfortunes. But it’s back now!
As faithful readers of the (very occasional) posts to this site, there is a series on modifying and using the Yaesu DR-1X repeaters. One of the latest hacks that’s been done to one is the use of a D2A board and PiTone to inject the needed CTCSS tone into the…

The WOOSTR APRS digi went on the air October 16th, 2020, and serves Wayne and surrounding counties and the greater Wooster area. Equipment is a Motorola CDM-1250, Kantronics KPC-3 running 8.2 firmware, and a Samlex SEC-1223 to power it all. Thanks to KE8JNH for the equipment and site for the…
