HCMC Trip - Inside Cu Chi Tunnel June 2011

Semasa cuti sekolah, kami sekeluarga bercuti ke Ho Chi Minh City selama 3 hari.

Pengalaman yang menarik ialah semasa memasukki Cu Chi Tunnel, lebih kurang sejam setengah perjalanan dari bandar Ho Chi Minh.

Kami sekeluarga sempat berjalan sejuah 40 meter di dalam tunnel yang sempit.

Balik ke Tanjung Gemuk

Semalam selepas sangkut di dalam trafik jam selama 3 jam, kami sekeluarga balik ke Tanjung Gemuk. Kami keluar seawal 5.20 pagi dengan harapan dapat sarapan nasi minyak yang sedap di bandar Rompin.

Tetapi disebabkan oleh kesesakkan lalu lintas di mana hari ini juga ada sekatan jalan dan juga jalan raya yang sibuk di awal pagi kerana hai persekelohan, kami tiba di Leban Chondong jam 9 pagi. Oleh itu, kami mengambil keputusan untuk berhenti sarapan nasi lemak dengan undang galah. Sarapan yang sedap hingga menjilat jari.

Pada sebelah petangnya pula, kami suami isteri menuju ke Pantai Penyabong untuk membeli keropok lekor dan juga sata dan otak-otak. Rasanya amat sedap kerana ianya masih lagi panas dan banyak ikan didalam setiap otak-otak dan sata. Terlupa nak ambil gambar sebab makan sampai habis baru ingat nak ambil gambar.

Yang menariknya ada seekor ikan buntal yang digantung di kedai menjual otak-otak dan sata. Isinya telah dikosongkan. Sila lihat gambar di atas.

Yaesu FTM 350 - Review

Credit to Moleculo

http://www.worldwidedx.com/product-reviews/41539-yaesu-ftm-350-aprs-review.html




Perhaps the main reason most hams will consider the Yaesu FTM-350 is the APRS functionality. Until now, only Kenwood offered an all-in-one APRS solution. However, Yaesu has attempted to one-up Kenwood's TM-D710A by offering an small, optional GPS module that integrates directly into the radio control head. This is a detailed review of the APRS functions available to the Yaesu FTM-350.

You turn on the APRS modem in the APRS set menu. You can also choose which band is used for the APRS and TNC data. You can choose to use either the left or right band or even a combination of both bands, splitting the TX and RX functions between the two bands. On my radio, I chose to make the right band the APRS and data band. Here is a screen shot of the radio receiving APRS data on the right band. You can see that the A12 and bullseye symbol at the top indicates that the APRS modem is on and auto beaconing is enabled.



In the above screens, you can see that I have selected the APRS functions for the buttons across the bottom. You do this by pressing the right "F" button repeatedly until the menu at the bottom reads "F-3".

In this picture, I've hit the S-LIST, or Station List button to show all of the received APRS stations:



Using the left main knob, you can scroll up and down on the list to choose a station. By pressing in on the knob, you can view the details of the station:



You also use the left main knob to scroll up and down to view more details about the station:



Hitting the MSG button shows all of the messages that you've received or sent:



Again, pressing in on the knob shows the details of the message. In this example, I'm showing a message I sent to my VX-8 HT:



If you choose any of the Reply or message transmit buttons, you get this screen:



To input the message, you can use the soft buttons on the bottom of the control head or just use the DTMF mic to input the message in the same way you would enter a text message on your cell phone. On the DTMF mic, you can also use the A or B buttons to move the cursor, as well as the C button to delete. The instructions in the manual are pretty clear on this topic.

On the message list screen, if you hit the F button, the bottom menu changes to allow you to perform more functions:



The TXClr clears all remaining retries on a message send attempts. The UnRead toggles the "Read" flag that shows to the right of the RX indicator. Lastly, you can query a station that sent you a message, or just show the position of the station that sent the message.

Here is a pic of the query screen:



If you want to "ping" or query a station to get an updated position report, you just hit the Query button on the second function menu and it performs the operation.

APRS Setup Options

There are quite a few useful APRS options and setup choices. Many of them are standard APRS setup options like filters, digi path settings, position options (most people will just use the GPS). I've highlighted a few of the interesting or key setup options here.

Beacon Status Text
The FTM-350 allows you to input whatever text you want for the Beacon Status Text, but it also supports the "listening frequency" options. If you select this option, it will include your other VFO's current frequency, tone squelch, and shift information. You can also include additional text in the message. In this example, I've chosen to just include my listening frequency and a short text blurb:



APRS Popup
You can choose how the radio notifies you of other stations and messages. The default is to popup a screen on every received beacon and message. In a busy area like Southern California, I don't want to be notified of every station because there are too many of them, so I turned the beacon off. You can also set a time limit that the popup screen displays for both the beacon and message.



APRS Ringer
The radio also gives you a little bell ringer when it receives or transmits a beacon or message. You have complete control over this behavior, as well:





APRS Beacon TX
These options change both the frequency of the auto beacon and what route the beacon includes. If you turn on the "Proportional" setting, it will change the transmitted route between "WIDE1-1, WIDE2-1", "WIDE1-1", AND "OFF" automatically. The INTERVAL setting will tell the radio how often to change between these routes. If you use the DECAY option, it extends the setting of the INTERVAL when the vehicle is stopped. If you turn on the SmartBeaconing option (menu E33), you can also just choose to use that by setting the AUTO menu in this section to "SMART". Here is a shot of the screen with this settings:



Here is a shot of the SmartBeaconing option screen:




There is one function I was looking forward that is included in the Kenwood TM-D710 but is missing in the Yaesu FTM-350: digipeating. I was really hoping to be able to use this radio as either a mobile or base digipeater, but the option just isn't available. If you really want to do it with this radio, you'll have to use an external TNC or some type of PC based TNC.

Overall, I'm very happy with the APRS functionality of this radio except for the inability to digipeat. However, I realize that digipeating is a feature that the vast majority of people will not want or use. I was able to figure out most of the basic functionality without even reading the manual! Message sending and receiving is very simple to learn, and I really like the APRS functionality customization options that you are given. The message and beacon fonts are large and easy to read, which is important in a mobile environment. I think most people will be very happy with the APRS functions of this radio.

Sky Park Terminal

Pagi ini kena hantar isteri ke Sky Park Terminal. Terpegun juga transformasi yang dulunya dikenali sebagai Terminal 3 sudah berubah wajah menjadi Sky Park Terminal.

Firefly nampaknya yang monopilkan tempat ini. Bagus juga dekat tak lagi perlu ke KLIA kalau untuk penerbangan domestik.

Lihatlah gambar ini.

Cuti-cuti ke Ho Chi Minh City

Rupanya blog aku ni ada lagi ingat ke dah kena bungkus. Sebab masa buat dulu tahun 2007 dan sekarang ni tahun 2011. Punya lah lama tu.

Kali ni nak update lawatan keluarga ke Ho Chi Minh City dalam bulan Jun baru ni.

Pegi sabtu balik hari isnin.

Hari pertama sampai pi jalan-jalan and shopping.

Hari kedua pi melawat Chu Chi Tunnel. Perasana jadi Viet Cong semasa menyusup masuk kat dalam tunnel tu.

Hari ketiga melawat muzium perang dan baru tahu tentang kekejaman tentera Amerika terhadap rakyat Vietnam. Selama ini tengok citer Missing in Action kita di paparkan tentang kekejaman tentera Viet Cong rupanya yang sebenarnya tentera yang kejam lagi.

Bagi Viet Kong, mereka mempertahankan kedaulatan negara mereka yang cuba di jajah oleh Amerika.
