Node back on the air

You might remember about three weeks ago when I posted the following:

First of all my Yaesu Fusion Node is off the air….Â*Â*Windows did an
automatic update and now the Node software is not functioning.Â* I’m
guessing that a re install is needed but at this time I just don’t feel
like jumping through the hoops a 2nd time.Â* I’m hoping that re installing
the drivers will make it all work again…Â* It does however make me wonder IF
there might be a more stable operating system to do this on….Â* I am the
first to admit I use computers in my hobby but they are far from being my
hobby.Â* ….Â* It will be back sometime (and I hope soon) but there is lots
going on in my life at this time (all good) but time management is starting
to be an issue…..

Well its back and seems to be mostly stable. it only crashes now when my
internet is flakey but the driver issue has been fixed.Â* I found a small
usb powered fan and now whenever the laptop is on my node radio and the
power supply for the node radio is being cooled.Â* Its working so well that
I have returned the power to the 25w level that I started at.Â* The
overheating problem has been cured by the usb fan so as long as the intenet
is behaving the VE3ORF system has its Kingston node running again.



The node is running on UHF (frequency on the pic above) and it is normally
connected to the VE3ORF system

Hope to hear you sometime
