DX Group Reunion

To quote our Yahoo Group Page about our radio club - 
Founded in 1975, survived a love/hate relationship with the WIA, was involved in a diverse range of activities starting with ham/SWL field trips, progressing through caving and bridge climbing, and ending up where those who did not experience the DXG first-hand cannot even imagine.

 Fast forward to 2014  and a meetup at Lane Cove River Park.

Back Row L to R Roger Browne, Tanya O'Leary, Alex Stolznow, David Cogan, Ian Ferguson. 
Front Row L to R Myself Paul Anslow and Brad Granger

DMR and a HotSpot I bit the bullet and joined the world of DMR.  The build of the Radio Shack and Office is almost over which will mean setting up antennas and  equipment. In the meantime I have joined the world of DMR. The nearest DMR repeater from here is VK2ROJ, however I'm unable to access it directly. To get up and running quickly and not enter the "Is it the Hardware, or is it the Software?" conundrum when setting up a home built Hotspot, I bought one already built and almost ready to go. I bought a "ShackSpot" from Glenn VK4NGA and was very happy with the build, service and support.   https://www.facebook.com/vk4nga/ QSL Communications had a group buy on Retevis RT3S DMR Hand Helds.   https://qslcomms.com.au/  I took up the offer and am happy with the radio. There is a bit of a learning curve with DMR but it is well worth the effort. More posts to come.....
