When enthusiasm for technology meets real SHF action
|
|
|
Shinsuke, DO9IS, and Hans Peter, DG2MAW, put the ICOM IC-905 to the test—and not just anywhere, but in freezing temperatures with impressive views in the Bavarian mountains. On 10 GHz and 24 GHz, they showed what the Allmode transceiver is really capable of. In our latest field report, you can read about how the device performed under real outdoor conditions, the challenges of operating at these high frequencies, and why even experienced radio amateurs are still amazed by 24 GHz.
