Re: Kings Generators

"additional power output is minimal,"
Indeed but it is enoough for the EU22 to start 240VAC air cons which the EU20 may not. Hence a distinct advantage for the travelling Grey Nomads.

Re: 6m Repeaters Sydney

Looks like the Maddens Plain one no longer exists. I just tried to key up the Lawson one and it looks like that one is off air as well. So I concurr with your observations.

Re: WSJT USB Audio Sources???

In Device manager when looking at Ports what disappears when you remove the 9700 cable from the PC? At least 1, should dissapear from the list of ports in use.

Differerent radio I know but I had to do this to sort out the ports in use by my IC 9100 for WSJT-X

Re: VK Maritime Mobile

There is nothing special about being maritime mobile in VK as far as your license goes. It's the same as being mobile in a vehicle, on foot, on a horse etc. As others have pointed out you need the permission of the master of the vessel to operate on that vessel (tinny or bigger) , but its not a cond...

Re: Australian DMR repeater network

From what I can tell by not being able to get into GPT in Sydney (VK2RCG) and the reporting on http://www.dmr-marc.net/repeaters.html the network is down in Australia and has been for the last couple of days.

Is that right?
