Talk:Amateur radio station

cyclopedify please[edit]
To do ?
Tell me, giving a simple drawing, what do I need to have my amateur station at home.
E.g. "If I want to use a personal computer I shall, like most users, have a kbd, a mus, a prn, and maybe a scrn attached to the central unit."
- Now a drawing showing which is which, keyboard, mouse, printer and screen, how I may use them and how they connect to the pc is better.
Tell me what I may expect to do when thus installed with my station. Then you have made your encyclopedic task. Thank you.-- DLL .. T 17:04, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
This doesn't sound like Wikipedia's job. Wikipedia is a place to find facts, not tutorials. As I understand it you are fully within your rights to edit the page to include links to the information that you seek. It's a place to look up what a term means, not how to implement it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.154.208.249 (talk) 21:51, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
Frequencies used[edit]
Can the article include which frequencies and modulation are usually used ? Eg VHF, UHF, ... and modulations as SSB, ... Can a small section include on how analog radio stations are converted to digital (eg by using data packet switching).

Suffix /R[edit]
Source on "Rover station [..] will append a /R to the end of their call sign"? /R is often used so signify repeater station, for example if operator SA0RDS sets up a repeater, it will sign as SA0RDS/R 84.218.4.74 (talk) 15:21, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- It used to be that /R was required (in the US) to designate repeater stations, but no longer. This is clarified in the "Repeater stations" section. So /R could be used for most anything, including foxhunting. Unfortunately it's difficult to find a source to cite this to. - LuckyLouie (talk) 16:02, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
