hello
Points to ponder today
if you are talking on "DMR" using a phone or something like a M1KE, is it ham radio or a phone call?
If a device doesnt transmit or receive Ham radio RF, is it ham radio?
I call it MySpace VoIP chat for hams
No I wont confirm you on QRZ i dont log internet chats

Hamtastic October 2025 Balloon Launch by: KE6VDW
Experience Hamtastic 2025, San Diego’s biggest amateur-radio and tech gathering — filmed on Fiesta Island on October 18, 2025!
Hosted by KE6VDW and the All Your Base Network, this event brought together ham operators, mesh enthusiasts, and emergency-comms pros for a full day of radios, music, and innovation.
🎈 Main Highlight:
We launched a Radiosonde & Meshtastic Balloon into the stratosphere, transmitting live data to the network under node name AYBB (All Your Base Balloon). Viewers tracked it live on Meshtastic Maps and Radiosonde trackers in real time!
🎧 Other Highlights:
• Live bluegrass by Grandaddy-O’s featuring Debbie & Larry

Thanks for joining HamLike. Really glad you’re here.
This site is still new and I’m still building and improving it, so please don’t be shy about pointing things out. If something looks off, seems broken, feels confusing, or just doesn’t seem right, let me know.
Bug reports, suggestions, and honest feedback are all super helpful right now.
Thanks again for being here and helping shape it.

In this video, we walk step-by-step through converting an existing DMR codeplug from the AnyTone 878UVIIPlus to the AnyTone 890 / Maverick. If you’re upgrading to the 890/Maverick or want to reuse your carefully built 878 codeplug, this guide will save you time and frustration.
We’ll cover:
• Key differences between the 878UVIIPlus and 890/Maverick codeplug formats
• What settings transfer cleanly and what must be adjusted
• Zones, channels, talkgroups, and contacts considerations
• CPS tips to avoid common errors during conversion
• Final checks before writing the codeplug to your radio
This tutorial is ideal for amateur radio
