( PI2NOS ). The reason for listening to PI2NOS was to learn more of the daily usage of being a good HAM Operator. After hooking up the PI2NOS stream ( link below ) to my Asterisk PBX i was able to listen to the repeater as soon as i got home. Within a week or 2 i decided I should also be able to listen to QSO&#8217;s from my car. I needed a transceiver.<\/p>\n<p>If you want a cheap transceiver to start listening to other HAM Operators i must say, the Baofeng UV-5R really does his job. The transceiver is fully programmable by computer, is capable of using 2 frequency bands ( 145Mhz and 434Mhz ) and is also capable of using standard PMR frequencies which can be programmed directly in the memory by programmer cable.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pb0fh.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/baofeng.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-26\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pb0fh.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/baofeng.jpg\" alt=\"baofeng UV5-RA\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pb0fh.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/baofeng.jpg 225w, https:\/\/pb0fh.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/baofeng-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A picture of the Baofeng UV5-RA<\/p>\n<p>The application i used to program the Baofeng is called <a href=\"http:\/\/chirp.danplanet.com\/projects\/chirp\/wiki\/Home\" target=\"_blank\">CHIRP<\/a>. I tried using the factory delivered software but i found out the software just does not work. After a short Google query i found out CHIRP existed and i got to work.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, CHIRP does it&#8217;s job way better than the default software. If you think of buying a Baofeng transceiver please, for your own sake use CHIRP. If i ever find some time, i will give more information on how to use CHIRP.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pb0fh.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/chirp.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-27\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pb0fh.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/chirp-300x234.png\" alt=\"chirp\" width=\"300\" height=\"234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pb0fh.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/chirp-300x234.png 300w, https:\/\/pb0fh.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/chirp-768x599.png 768w, https:\/\/pb0fh.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/chirp.png 802w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After some experimenting with the Baofeng UV5-RA i decided i needed a new antenna, The Antenna can be found\u00a0here<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A brief overview of the devices i use to practice my hobby as a HAM Operator; Recently i started listening to the most known repeater in the Netherlands.
