    HEY YOU ABOUT TO POST SOMETHING STUPID:
    Yes, I know my hands are large/fat. It's because of a heart condition I suffer from called Congestive Heart Failure. Here's a link to some information about CHF: cle.clinic/2Td...
    One of the symptoms is that is causes fluid retention, mostly in the hands, feet/ankles, and face.
    It will kill me one day. I'm doing ok right now, but someday...

    Your well above my hands on and Pay Scale. Back in my times we thought we were someone when we could Tx DTMF tones and make a Phone Call. Just got back into radio taking baby steps playing with a SDR USB card. Worked Shuttle Support from 85 - 88 Providing Special Communications at Patric AFB. They didn't even know I was there. We just kept the Channels Up and Running. LOL So Now you can be one of those ROBO Callers Using Persistence to contact ?

      @learnelectronics  5 років тому +1

      Nah, not so much. If you are working a contest, you lose your voice calling CQ for 8 hours.

    Hello friend, thanks for uploading this video. I have a Yaesu 1200 and I need to activate this option for the contests.
    I know that the N1MM program has an option to record audio files but I haven't been able to get it to work well.
    Watching your video I realize that you do it with these two components and I would like to know if I have to buy something else?

    Nice video. i have dull audio output when i record a voice message at Yaesu voice memory, even if i have set the parametric equalizer with compressor in and out. if i record the message to my pc is crystal clear. Any suggestion??

    Hello
    I like your video
    I ask if it is possible on this radio with this card to record the 20 seconds of qso and transmit the recorded audio.
    thanks

    In my humble opinion Yaesu are doing quite well selling a tiny, and not overly complex add-in board for $75... And another $100 for a very basic hard wired remote ..But at the end of the day it's a hobby and we're all guilty of a touch of overindulgence occasionally 😁.. Interesting stuff on the NASA vehicle difference from start to finish...I suspect the guys flying the Saturn 5 said too the Mercury guy's : "Mines bigger than yours"...🤣

    I think like most, interested in electronics know all the UA-cam channels, like Dave or Dronebot. Though what I somehow miss is a step wise introduction like tutorials with some theoretical background and in combination with a project. Like following a course in school. Step wise. Like your site. Many and mostly beginners can get disappointed or get scared when they don''t have a background of really understanding CPU's and boards & programming, when the basic principles is not understood.. Arduino is a good platform but merely plug and play without the basics of electronics is in a sense not wrong. Could you make some step wise tutorials - think of being a teacher - that makes hobbyist understand why and how.

    Pretty easy but really cool mod. Are the headers placed like that so you can add more sub boards?
    The Saturn V is the coolest piece of engineering That humanity has ever built, hopefully the next big rocket that out does it gets built soon.great video my friend.
    UA-cam is still not telling me when your videos are going up btw. Have a great weekend Paul.

    • @learnelectronics
      @learnelectronics  5 років тому

      Im not sure about the headers. There is only one other board offered, it is for FFT and CW decoding. It fints in a different place.

    I think we could have a go at building a voice memory using a Arduino and a MP3 breakout board or something, might be a nice project! :)

    Hi Paul, i have the 3000, bt it used, nice radio, the 1200 looks allot like the 991a in many ways,.. im a Yaesu man, so like to Yaesu radios on the video was very informative,.. cheers n 73s AE1TP

      I like Yaesu as well, I also have an 891. But I love the 1200. Superior audio quality, built in roofing filters, and a great preselector. And now it has voice memory.

    Paul, that is a great video. I am a ham radio operator, but I had no idea these voice modules existed. So happy to have learned this! Also, I tried to get the name of the repeater I heard and Google it, to see where your location is. Not to be creepy but just out of curiosity, but I must be miss-hearing something. hehe. A local repeater for me is W8BI, which is owned and operated by DARA, which is the group responsible for Hamvention. I attend Hamvention every year since I live so close to it. So I really enjoy the amateur radio vids!!!

      Basic electronic theory is all to start. Then the bug bites you and you start building things, they work, you learn more etcetera etcetera etcetera.

    My biggest takeaway from Field Day has always been "I need to make a voice memory solution". My biggest regret on Field Day is always "Why didn't I make that damn voice memory solution I thought about last year?", usually said to myself, hoarsely. Between midnight and 1AM on Sunday, I pulled 83 contacts during a pileup I was holding. Could have used that memory system for signal and location reports.

    • @learnelectronics

      Yep, when you operate for hours, voice memory is a lifesaver.
