I thought it was about time I added an update to the site. As an active Radio Ham, today I received the radio that I only ordered on Sunday from Moonraker UK Limited. It’s a 2m and 70cm transceiver for use in the shack and in the car for mobile operation. This is a super little rig for a very reasonable price. The model is the MT-270M and it came with the programming lead, the software was downloaded from the Moonraker web site. As you can see below, it took me very little time to programme it with all my favourite repeater and channel frequencies.

This can be seen in my Ham Radio Page. Out of all the categories available on the evening, I entered my transceiver as Homebrew, and managed to obtain a second place with it. So I was very pleased to receive a plaque in recognition for my efforts as you will see below.
