Yaesu Handheld Battery Cases

So the HT battery pack has bitten the dust, but you need to use that radio! Good thing you purchased one of these genuine Yaesu Handheld Battery Cases. Pop in your favorite type of AA cells and get back on the air! Buy almost anywhere in a pinch or stock up and use long shelf-life alkaline batteries in these holders for short term operations until you can recharge your HT battery pack. For some models, a set of AA rechargeable cells fresh from their separate charger may be used in a battery case. Rechargeable cells should only be used to run an HT in an emergency. Note: Never recharge rechargeable cells while in battery case. Some model HTs may not operate on the lower voltage provided by rechargeable cells. Consult your Handheld Transceiver manual. Yaesu Handheld Battery Cases from DX Engineering keep you and your HT ready for anything!

SOTAbeams ContestConsole Switching Unit for ICOM

SOTAbeams ContestConsole is a control switch unit for Icom transceivers, provides full access to compatible ICOM rig contest memory functions, and more. Easily connected between your radio and microphone, it is simple to use and feature packed. SOTAbeams ContestConsole features (dependent on Icom transceiver model): * Instant access to voice, CW and PSK memories (they do not need to be displayed on the transceiver screen) * TX PTT button * TX low power tune function – sends a 10W carrier (optional Tune Lead interface cable required) * Pushbutton frequency control (up and down) * External PTT socket for footswitch * Auxiliary microphone socket (3.5 mm) * Specifically designed to work with the IC-7300 but supports a wide range of other Icom transceivers--see "More Details" tab In general, if the radio is compatible with one of ICOM's standard 8-pin microphones (such as HM-36, SM-50, HM-219), then the ContestConsole PTT, frequency up, frequency down buttons, and the 3.5mm microphone socket should work for an electret element. If the radio manual mentions "external keypad" in relation to voice/CW/RTTY memories, then the ContestConsole memory buttons should work. Transceivers that are compatible with the AH-4 tuner should work with the ContestConsole tune button (optional Tune Lead interface cable required). An adapter cable (OPC-589) is required if the radio has a modular microphone connector instead of an 8-pin circular microphone connector. Operational Tips: 1. Some transceiver settings may need to be changed for the memory buttons to work. Search for "external keypad" in your transceiver manual for details. 2. Never connect two microphones at the same time to the ContestConsole. When connecting a microphone use either the 3.5 mm socket or the 8-pin socket, not both. 3. On some Icom transceivers, an external storage memory card or USB drive may be required for voice memory functionality.

WiMo PicoAPRS-Lite APRS Transceiver Module

PicoAPRS-Lite APRS Transceiver Module - the little brother of the popular PicoAPRS. This is a tiny APRS tracker weighing just 7.2 grams*! Even though the PicoAPRS-Lite was developed with balloon flights with APRS payload (Pico balloons and stratosphere balloons) in mind, it can naturally also be used for many more APRS purposes. Thanks to its small measurements of just 27.8 x 66.9 x 6.3mm this tiny tracker can, for example, be installed nearly invisibly in cars. This allows for APRS usage without annoying wiring in the car or too short antenna cables. You can even carry the tracker around in your pocket! An SMA antenna jack is offered separately since its weight of about 2 grams is an unnecessary extra load for the light Pico balloons. This is also the reason why the tracker is being delivered without a case. Special functions of the PicoAPRS-Lite: - Automatic or manual frequency tuning on request. E.g. automatic for worldwide balloon flights. - In areas without APRS coverage and with automatic frequency tuning the ISS APRS frequency is used to be heard even in these situations. - Temperature and air pressure sensor. The values will be sent as an APRS comment in every position. - As an energy source a small solar cell with buffer capacitor can be used, as well as single-use or rechargeable batteries. - Voltage range ca. 3.2 - 5V. - When using a solar cell the PicoARPS-Lite will stay in battery-saving mode use only about 0.1mA until the buffer capacitor has stored enough charge, then sends a beacon and will go back into battery-saving mode to recharge for another beacon if needed. - Even with just one solar cell which supplies the buffer capacitor with just a tiny amount of current it can operate forever in sunshine! Ideal for a world trip with a balloon. - Even when using batteries the energy-saving mode will be used between beacon transmissions to extend the battery's lifetime. - Micro USB port for settings configuration with a terminal software. - Integrated GPS module with balloon mode up to 80km height, ideal for stratosphere balloons. - Transmission power configurable between 0.5 and 1W. - 7-pole lowpass filter to eliminate unwanted spurious emission. Status LED - Firmware updates via USB possible. Future wishes of users and product improvements can be uploaded later. Beware that this device has no voltage regulation! When operating with a solar panel and buffer capacitor the service voltage will usually drop to zero at night. With sunrise the device will be operational soon again. It's important that the tracker can be used with as little power as possible. A voltage regulator would cause a voltage drop which would be inconvenient during sunrise/sundown. To limit the maximum operating voltage a beacon will automatically be transmitted when reaching about 5V in balloon solar mode to use up stored energy. Doing so the maximum operating voltage won't be exceeded even when the idle solar cell provides too much voltage. *1) Weight without antenna jack, case or any energy source. Suggest accessories to be obtained from other sources: - SMA jack for circuit board mounting, upright, with long thread, for single hole fixing. If the device should be in a case and used with a regular antenna. - Lithium polymer battery 3.6V/800mA, as well as compatible connector cable for an external energy source. Beware, the PicoAPRS-Lite has no voltage regulator for batteries! Never charge batteries via USB! - Small USB charger for 4 LiPo batteries max.
