📻 How to use the radio
Press the red POWER button. You'll hear a soft shhhh . That's the sound of the band.
Pick a band . On 40 meters you hear Kentucky and nearby states (and more static crashes). 20 meters skips right over the states next door and brings in far-away places like Texas, Colorado and California. That jump is called skip .
Spin the big knob (drag your finger or mouse around in a circle), or press SCAN to jump to the next station. Use DOWN and UP for tiny steps.If a voice sounds like a cartoon duck, turn the dial a tiny bit until it sounds normal. That's how real radios work! · · — Morse code zone The bottom of every band is for Morse code beeps (CW). Tune until the beep is a nice middle note and the letters appear.
🗣 Talking zone Higher up, hams talk with microphones. This is called phone or SSB.
🔊 TEST VOICE Can't hear anyone? Tap to check your phone can talk.
Everything here is pretend. The voices are your device's built-in reading voices, so only one person talks at a time. All call signs are made up with 4 letters after the number (like K4FROG), which are never given to real hams. Park, summit and KFF numbers are real Kentucky places. Use Chrome, Edge or Safari; on a phone, turn the media volume up.
