Also in GB2RS this week…

| February 18, 2022

TX Factor is back after a year’s break and the RSGB is delighted to sponsor Episode 28. Bob and Mike get to grips with constructing a digital voice modem using an MMDVM module kit and Raspberry Pi Zero, and Bob reviews the long-awaited ID-52 5W handheld transceiver from Icom. There’s a chance to win a bundle of books from the RSGB in the free-to-enter draw, and you’ll find a quick overview of EMF requirements in the middle of the show. You can find out more and see the episode online at txfactor.co.uk.

Since the initial lockdown for the COVID-19 pandemic, Dorking and District Radio Society has been operating a Monday to Saturday net on 144.775MHz from 10am. The net has now reached the milestone of 600 days. Thanks to all club members, net controllers, and visitors to the daily net for its continued success.

The deadline for entries to the RSGB Construction Competition is Tuesday, 1 March 2022, so you have just over a week left to enter. There are four categories for beginners, software, innovation and construction excellence. A cash prize will be awarded for the winner of each section, with a bonus for the overall winner, who will also be declared the winner of the Pat Hawker G3VA Trophy. If you would like inspiration, the RSGB YouTube channel has an amateur radio construction playlist and you will find details about how to enter the competition on the RSGB website at rsgb.org/construction-competition.
