Ham Imports

Creating a database of low cost Chinese ham radios.

We’re here to show you that you don’t need expensive kit from big brands to have fun with #HamRadio.

📻 We've added a new way to see all the radios in our database in one place. Handy for just browsing through what's out there.

🆕 Added a new tool to the site to show you what's hot on the HF bands in real time: https://t.co/WpzdKghGBU

@k1fm @allcall This looks great!

It may be a bit late now, but I wrote a JS lib to make talking to the main app a bit easier: https://t.co/j16akTCRrK

It's due for a bit of an update to handle the new API methods in the latest version.

This topic seems to come up a lot, so I wrote this up so I can point people to it: https://t.co/tvzszUjQ53

It's not just beginners that fall into this trap!

With the Sporadic E season officially kicking off today, I've assembled a 2 element yagi that fits in a backpack. 😀

Radioddity have reported that a scammer has cloned their store and is offering non-existant radios at unreasonably cheap prices to lure people in.

Watch out!

[Ham Imports @HamImports]

Seems the Bouvet carnage has started. If you're trying to work them:

-Learn how Fox & Hounds mode works
-Don't call on the DX freq
-If you can't hear them, stop calling
-Call on the right time slot

Looks like some people still have trouble with light switches, never mind FT8!

@Drphil75 @EchoRadios You are correct. Very deceptive marketing, useless in any real disaster scenario, nonsense terms like "military grade encryption" to sound important.

All the red flags of a scam, or at very least, preying on people who don't know any better.

AVOID!

[Ham Imports @HamImports]

Nice little usability upgrade.

@Robbie_W1RCP The electricity prices are just as nuts, so we can't afford to stay at home either.

[Ham Imports @HamImports]

You should see the prices in the UK!

What is the real cost of doing @POTAspots #pota? It’s not what you think!

Oh dear. Radioddity GM-30 Pro data leak

@RDKLInc @iHCJoseph @midwestgoonie Nostalgia is an age-related illness.

Also note that their recent TK11 model can now be programmed using CHIRP.

This is rather sweet. Quansheng have released a statement thanking everyone involved with making the UV-K5 so popular.

It's great that they are embracing the community, rather than trying to lock down their firmware.

Bravo!

[Ham Imports @HamImports]

@andrew_macrides Hi Andreas. Do you have a web link for the CPS software for the UV-K1 please? I can't find it online and I'm not on Facebook to get it from your page there! Many thanks, and 73
