I appreciate what you are doing for us. I currently can only talk on 10 meters at 28.3 to 28.5. I do alot of listening to learn about being a new professional speaking operator. Thank you for your time. KC1TWE.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Listening is the best way to learn in this great hobby of ours. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me. We never stop learning in this hobby no matter how long we have been active. Happy New Year and hope to catch you on the bands.
That little UPS has to be screaming if that Astron is plugged in to it. Something like 1kw from the wall under full load? Nice setup though. I still want a base station with a video out some day.
The power supply is plugged into UPS. It is not meant to transmit. I had power go off and on here a few times and spike from supply wiped out firmware on my 101. Now if power goes out this keeps my Astron power supply running until I can turn it off. Thanks for watching.
Jim, I appreciate the tour of your station, but I have a few questions. What motivated you to move from making contacts to making contacts and doing live streaming? Also, can you tell me the bandwidth you have to support the live stream? Lastly, I'd like to know how much preparation is needed for each livestream production. Your work is impressive. Keep it up.

Thanks for watching Paul. I have always liked to hear what my station sounds like all over the world so I decided to give everyone else that same chance. Maybe they adjust their audio to sound better or adjust a gain. Everyone seems to like it. It takes me just a few minutes to set up and start the stream. I run OBS studio which is a little complicated at first til you know what you are doing. If you have any questions please email me and I can help you out. 73's
Good evening Jim and congratulations on the beautiful shack. I wanted to ask you something about streaming: regarding the video capture card, how do you get video output from the monitor? Is the audio separate or do you get it from the same output? A thousand thanks 73 de Giuseppe iw0hpt
Hi Jim, Came across your channel and am enjoying the live feeds you do. I am working on building my shack currently and have a few questions if you don’t mind. I am trying to decide what radio would be best to invest in. I have operated mostly with Icom radios that my friend has and am used to that platform but have been researching the Yaesu as well. In your experience, would you have any suggestions on one vs the other. This will be my first HF rig and any input would be appreciated. Thanks for your time. 73s Will (KG5QFK)
@OFFROADRUNNER101 Hello Bill thanks for stopping by...both Icom and Yaesu are great radios. You here a lot of 7300's..I have always been a Yaesu guy...I run the 101D and love it. I know it's expensive but you get what you pay for...I would highly recommend the DX 10....great radio and half the price...I would gladly help you out anyway I can. Hook up with me on WHATSAPP if you want, this is what I use with all my radio friends. The number is on my QRZ page...good luck my friend and maybe I will catch you on one of my livestreams...73
@@NX8T-JIM thanks for you input Jim. I greatly appreciate it. I just left HRO and played around with that DX10. You might have just sold me. 73s from Texas man. Love the filters on that radio. Just have to learn how to work them.
@@NX8T-JIM it seems like the Yaesu has a better receiver and more filters for pulling out weak signals. I’d rather have a better performing transceiver and pay a little more. However there will be a leaning curve to navigate the radio interface with a Yaesu. They had a FTDX101D that was used and had a little blemish on the top right bezel edge. But they were asking $2400. Not sure.
Thanks for the video, from KB9UDK

Hello Giuseppe, I use 1 cable from back of radio for display and audio. Also use OBS Studio. Please email me and we can get you set up....73's
What monitor and cable did u use Jim? Just bought a 101D. Thank U KB2AT
hey Chris, you have to purchase a DVI-D cable to use for monitor
Look on page 17 of your manual, any other questions feel free to email me.
