If you live outside of New Zealand it is probably cheaper to buy my amateur radio books from Amazon or the RSGB webshop. The Kindle versions are also available from Amazon.

Description

This book includes useful tips and tricks for the configuration and operation of the fabulous Icom IC-705 transceiver. Rather than duplicate the manuals which describe each button, function, and control, I have used a more functional approach. This is a “how to do it” book with easy to follow step by step instructions. The IC-705 is yet another ground-breaking amateur radio transceiver from Icom. It is a 5 watt or 10 watt ‘QRP’ radio with the HF bands, the 6m and 2m VHF bands, and the 70cm UHF band. Combining many features of the IC-7300 HF radio and the IC-9700 VHF/UHF radio.

 

The IC-705 has a huge number of settings and options. Learn about the FT8 Preset and the D-Star picture sharing mode. The built-in GPS receiver, voice and CW message keying, automatic recording, and logging of each call so you don’t have to log your SOTA contacts on a windy mountaintop. This book will help you get the most from this complicated radio.

What's next?

These are my next two projects. 

Hermes Lite 2 SDR

The Hermes Lite 2 is a QRP SDR transceiver. It is not a kit but it does require assembly into the optional case. The book covers this small transceiver, the RF filter board, I/O board, and the Hermes Lite 2+ board. I will cover interfacing the radio with several SDR programs including Thetis, piHPSDR, and SDR Console v3.

FLEX-8000 series radios

FlexRadio announced the release of the new FLEX-8400 and FLEX-8600 models at the Dayton Hamvention in 2024. The new models replace the Signature 6000 models. My book will cover the new radios and the older 6000 series radios, including the 'M' models, Maestro, and SmartSDR.
