The Icom IC-705 operates DSTAR but with the Openspot3 running cross mode, you can basically work any digital voice mode that you want to. Today I am going to setup the Icom IC-705 and connect it to the Openspot3 running cross mode, and talk into both the TGIF Network and the Brandmeister Network.IC705: https://tinyurl.com/y2jucw6bOpenspot3: https://www.sharkrf.com/products/openspot3

This was a suggestion from a viewer, to start a regularly scheduled Ham Radio Happy Hour, where we just get together online and talk about Ham Radio, the YouTubers Bunch, Ragchew, etc.

This is an unboxing and first-look at and Icom IC-7300 that I did about 3 years ago. I took the important pieces from the video and condensed it down into a new video, along with a QSO that I made at the end. This radio is still a great choice for any HF Operator today so I wanted to re-share the videoPurchase Link: https://amzn.to/3cijPNL
