Now this is how one does radio. Put the Alinco all mode back in the box and got out my trusty TenTech rebel.
Sold as the "open source qrp" radio this transmitter has a clone of an Arduino computer at its heart. You decide how it's going to operate, you write the programming script and flash it to the radio. In my case I kept it simple if I need to know what frequency I'm on I've got a script that if I hold down the select key for 10 seconds it beeps in Morse code to me where I'm at. Other people have modified them to have display screens. Some folks dress them right up, but I wanted to keep mine simple for when I took it out into the world. Speaking of which first contact in years on this radio was a guy (W2ITT) working Parks On The Air in Long Island, NY.
