Codan HF radio

Hi,
I have recently acquired a Codan 5825 HF radio from my Father.

After using the sites search function I was able to glean enough info to allow me to contact a few companies about updating the radio.

Firstly I had to join a Radio network, from the responses to this question in past posts I have joined VKS737 and have been issued with my license. A very quick response as well.

I spoke to David at HF Radio (http://www.hf-radio.com.au) and have ordered a reprogrammed eprom from him.
He was very helpful and quickly answered emails and phone calls.

He suggested I contact Rod from Bushcomm (http://www.bushcomm.com.au)
Rod made a suggestion for a multi tap antenna after contacting David to find out what frequencies were on the eprom.
Antenna ordered and on its way.

I have no affiliation with David, Rod or VKS737 but am impressed with the efficiency and patience with which they dealt with a complete novice when it comes to HF radios.

I don't have selcall fitted to this radio but have brought the sellcall tone generator from Black Cat Systems for my android smart phone. It seems straight forward.

Thank you to all the posters and people who replied to past posts, that's what makes this site such a valuable resource.

William
