Nice Eric! I've worked a few QSOs on SO-50 similar way - with an IC-705 hung on my neck and hand-pointing the antenna... Although IC-705 isn't full-duplex, furthermore having only one VFO, it seems to be very handy for FM SATs... I adjust Doppler easily according to waterfall, record QSOs to SD card, store SATs as Split channels that can be easily tuned around with the main dial... The only disadvantage (apart from the duplex) is how to hang it on the neck so that you can see the display...
This is pretty awesome. I'm studying to get my tech license so all the jargon sounds like a different language to be. So far I have just been doing listening with a yasue ft-60r
And listening will be the best way to understand how people talk, you do not have to be an expert, just try to listen and learn, others will help you out on the air
No actually, I screwed up the microphone recording feature on the radio, so I had to turn up the mic game on the camera for the video so high that you can hear the waterfall from the hot tub into the pool.
You should always run low power when using a satellite. if you run more power the satellite tries to use more power and your spoil it for the rest trying to use the satellite
Tell that to the station in Mexico that is always completely wiping out the satellite with a full KW,. I cut my angry part of the video out but he lives on satellites and you only ever hear him the entire pass
@@HamRadioConcepts When i was doing my 2e0 training we learned about satellites and how much power you use you should only run 5W its enough to work a satellite i worked a few here in the UK using only 5W
Eric. That’s so cool. Your the man. Thank you for the video.

Those Elk antennas are fantastic portable and base set up, light weight and Quality. 73 Eric
At least THAT antenna controller doesn’t try to kill you. 🤣
Like a boss. Seriously, you got to put out more radio content.
Thanks Eric. Educational and inspiring.
Great sat work Eric ! I cant wait to make my first sat contact, Thanks for the inspiration buddy !
That was entertaining! Way cool. Thanks.
And to think....I taught him everything he knows about working those Sats... JK Eric... LOL
He makes it look so easy.
Man, I got to get back on the birds. Lots of fun!
Thanks Eric! Cool!
Very cool Eric 👍📻
Nice work!
Hi my name is Eric.....and I show you how to conquer the airwaves. Bigger isn't always better.
NICE

Is it full duplex?
I have to try sats. I have an Arrow handheld ant.
that is so much more interesting than to watch someone call CQ POTA. Im glad to see ur back, you are so much better than some of these other channels.
Is the Icom ID-52 a full duplex transceiver?
just curious if you didn't do the video do you normally record when doing satellite handheld?
No, sometimes I just work the satellite and I put it away. But I just tried to make some video material this time
What happened to your auto sat tracking tripod mount?
It's in the shed I have to get to using that again, it's just so much more fun by hand
have never worked a satellite, whats with the EL 97?
Grid square
And if I’m right it was also raining like the dickens

I wasn't aware that rig is full duplex? 73
No but dual vfo so I had uplink and downlink on together
Wouldn't it be full duplex if he could tx and rx together. Just asking?
@@nejcs56ne95 yes, I assumed that's what he was doing.

It could be done on 1 watt but you're not overloading the satellite using 5 watts and an Elk antenna.
5 watts not 5000... LOL
How is this possible when the Earth is flat lol I tried to explain this to flat earthers many times and it is pointless
when satellites are launched, they crash into the transparent dome. lol
Nothing new here.... Next
