@kr1st @HopelessDemigod @ve3qbz I have no plans to buy a boat.But if I did it would be a small one-person kayak for the ponds / calmer parts of rivers around here. My existing canoe is too unwieldy for one person.

@Geojoek @HopelessDemigod @ve3qbz I have been contemplating a kayak myself, one that's stable enough to fish from as well. But then I need a roof rack. But really I need a new car first. Screw it, I'll get a new radio instead. That's how it usually goes with me. 😄Speaking of new radios.... isn't it time for that Yaesu FTX-1F to hit the market? I don't think I've even seen a brochure for it yet.

@kr1st @Geojoek @ve3qbz The kayak would be a good purchase.

@HopelessDemigod @kr1st @Geojoek you can't put a price on working /MM , that's a great flex. /MM kayak would be great.

@ve3qbz @kr1st @Geojoek Forgot ham radio. You could use actual HF marine frequencies.

@HopelessDemigod @kr1st @Geojoek for sure. Are the iCOM marine HF units locked to the marine bands, or could you use them on ham allocations as well?

@ve3qbz @kr1st @Geojoek Negative. You can put ham frequencies in them. https://docksideradio.com/icom-802.html

@HopelessDemigod @ve3qbz @kr1st @Geojoek aren’t the marine hf rigs USB? Although I assume they do lsb somehow…. All said, I really want the icom f8101 ;)

@HopelessDemigod @kr1st @Geojoek Speaking of /MM, we haven't heard from @N1ZZZ in a while.

@PopeASDF @ve3qbz @kr1st @Geojoek The Icom F8101 is an amazing radio. It has ALE built in.

@HopelessDemigod @ve3qbz @kr1st @Geojoek I know, haven’t been able to justify one yet, I hope one day to find one cheap enough ;)

@PopeASDF @ve3qbz @kr1st @Geojoek This is much better for two obvious reasons. https://www.barrettcommunications.com.au/4050_hf_sdr/

@HopelessDemigod @ve3qbz @kr1st @Geojoek apparently there is some ale software I can play with on the flex once I get the antenna back up (roof repair required wires down, sigh)

@PopeASDF I’ve used that software on MARS frequencies.
