Here We Go Again - 02 May 2009

Another day on 145.325 and it was far from a normal day, mind you, it's never a normal day on 145.325. This is my new (classic) VHF transceiver the FDK Multi-750x FM/USB/LSB/CW in excellent condition, this video doesn't do it justice.

Nice to see an FDK 750...I have the FDK Multi-750e which I think may have been an earlier version. I bought it second hand quite a number of years ago and it looks a bit more worn than yours! I also have the Expander 430 for it which gives it 70cm capability as well. I came across this video while watching a Gary Numan one you posted! Looking at one of your other videos, I see you have a 767GX. I have a 757GX which someone very kindly gave me. I live in Guildford by the way.

Hi Paul, thanks for the comment. Yes the FDK Multi-750X is a really nice rig. And yes, I have the 767GX. The 757GX is also a great radio. I love using the older radio equipment. And you are not that far from me, hope to speak to you on air one day Paul.

hi pete. that's a good copy. i can't get nothing on the opington 2 m repeater( 145.710 ) unless it has gone down , i have a maycom ar-108 scanner. lost the instructions book long ago. i may not have it in the right mode now. if so, got no idea how to alter it now, or how to alter the steps.

Hi Micky, Yes, my new toy. The GB7Ok repeater is D-Star (Digital Smart Technologies for Amateur Radio) So you won't hear anything on a normal FM Rx. I don't use repeaters, only FM simplex and SSB on 2m. You'll have to get a cheap vhf/uhf scanner, you can listen to the lads on 2m then.

Nice sounding radio!, any chance of a video of it on SSB?

Here in the United States there are many 2-meter simplex channels people use for impromptu communications like this. In fact, I'm on a certain frequency every evening where several of us hang out together but are quite informal.

Regardless of where you are there are always informal chats going on :)
