I like to Travel!

NEW:    Australian EMR Self Assessment Excel Spreadsheet

Part of my travel includes Amateur radio. I usually take a handheld or two with me, and I do quite a bit of research and planning. As a result I have set up some useful files for my yaesu handhelds. I have three:
Yaesu FT51rft51r , FT11rft-11 and VX1r.vx-1r
The great thing is you can program them using the ADMS suite, and use one RDF file (radio definition file)
The Vx1 has got the most memories- 291 of them! so I usually fill that up first. I then merge the bits that are relevant into each of the other radios, depending on their capabilities.
What I am doing here is to share those definition files.
Requirements: ADMS 1D software or better.
                      The programming cable (has some electronics inthe cable)
                           A yaesu radio capable of being programmed via ADMS.

    *** FLASH**** - I just got a Yaesu FT-817, so I needed a portable HF antenna.
    First my good friend VK2KGG sent me a design for a 20m Dipole made from TV ribbon, plus a simple balun. I made it and used it. It's very good!
    And then I ordered an ATX-Walkabout 80m to 6m vertical from Waters & Stanton in England. I'll let you know how things go after it arrives..
