Useful as I have also just got an FT3D and had set up for GB3ER - but can't seem to open it. However, all my settings are just as yours. I'm 99% sure the problem is with GB3ER, not me! I suspect that it currently has an issue?

I am into VHF Airband (118~137mhz), I am thinking of buying this reciever and I am also interested in the Icom IC-R30, wonder which performs best on VHF Airband, Someone says that radio world charges £10 to put on selective programs, what are selective programs.
Fair enough I see you've been busy on vhf/uhf...still a project for the future and i'd look forward to seeing how you get on if you do get something installed.I'd imagine it would be quite possible and likely effective in good conditions.
Good to see you blogging again Richard. If you turn down the brightness of your screen you won't get so much reflection on your glasses. Tip - use a brush on your hair!
So cool story I wanted to tell you. It actually made me think of your video. I recently heard rumors of several people using 145.5625 MHz for c4fm simplex here in the westcoast of the USA. I just recently moved to a town house in Woodland Washington. I only have a roll up j pole hanging by the window on the 2nd floor. Everyone on 2m fm is pretty scratchy. I called cq on the 145.5625 digital freq and someone came back right away. He lives across the river in Oregon and he informed me that him and his lads are going have a net tomorrow night on c4fm simplex. So I am pretty excited about that. He sounded like he was right next door. Anyway, I hope you are doing well. BTW this is my second channel that I mess around on but my primary channel is TIM OLSON so i am the same person lol. I will be making a video of the net hopefully. 73
I enjoyed your video, I'm going there later this year with my parents so it's good to see the public areas from a visitor's perspective and not just their own marketing!
Question, I am just about to start my foundation licence training do you know if you can go straight on to your intermediate licence once you have passed your foundation licence?
Be great to see a video on your thoughts on the intermediate day, how you found the practical test and exam? How you found the questions on the day etc.. Really good video and 73! De M6CEB 😁👍
