Date: Thursday, March 2nd Time: 7:30 PM ET (0030Z) Location: Zoom -or- Meeting ID: 426 375 5765 Passcode: 791957 Speaker Location: Zoom Presentation: Wi-Fi for Hams Speaker: Kevin Scott, K4GTR Speaker Bio: Kevin Scott, K4GTR was first licensed as a Novice in 1975 at the age of 15 as WN4BNU. The next year he upgraded to Advanced and the call changed to WB4BNU. When he upgraded to Extra (once the code requirement dropped) his call changed to the current vanity call, K4GTR. Kevin has a BSEE from the University of Florida (thus the GTR in the call but his son went to GA Tech so the GT can stand for that as well now) with an emphasis on RF Communications. He has worked at Motorola, Panasonic, ARRIS/CommScope, Spinner, Nivis LLC and now ATX Networks where much of his tenure has been in the RF side of the electronics industry. He operates from 160 meters to 1296 MHz and will soon be on 630 meters, too. He enjoys ragchewing, VHF/UHF DXing (tropo and Eskip), mountaintopping and some contesting. His goal when he retires is to have several acres of land with NO HOA so he can put up a few towers with HF and V/U beams and other types of antennas without any hassle. While at ARRIS/CommScope he was the go-to guy for Wi-Fi testing and manufacturing. Meeting - Programming Radios using RT Systems Software - Karin Thompson, KD4DXX

Karin will tell us which radios they support, how their software compares with utilities provided by the manufacturers, other companies as well as what's available as freeware, e.g., CHIRP.
