Radio to do list

I have three installed radios, and yet have a hard time as the UI varies considerably between all of them. If I can answer the following questions, I should then posses a solid understanding:

How do I input a frequency into VFO?
How do I save this frequency in a memory channel?
How do I enter memory mode to scan memory channels?

Three installed radios:
ICOM IC-7000
ICOM V8000
YASEAU VX-3R

Too many possibilities?

Lots of cool projects underway:

HF/VHF/UHF radio installed aboard Faith and they work wonderfully. I'd like to get the APRS telemetry going, but before I buy any more hardware I should finish what I already started. I have the weather station software, hardware and sendos book... so lets get that working, eh?

Step one: ensure Java development studio is installed and working on Mac Mini
Step two: Hello World
Step three: lay out sensor hardware and diagram
Step four: download latest weather software and compile
Step five: plug in the sensors!

Migration to Leopard?

So do I buy a more powerful mini, which comes with Leopard and Ilife 08 or do I just drop the coin on the software alone?

anyway: list of apps I need to perform the clean install:

adobe cs2 (nah... don't really use this much)
adobe acrobat pro
dreamweaver
fireworks
flash
parallels
windows xp sp2
visual studio 2005 (or beta 2008?)
fireworks
toast (does 8 work?)

files:
docs
music
photos
windows myDocs

Weekend Projects

Here is an updated list of what I was able to accomplish:

Apple TV successfully hacked via patchstick. It now supports Divx,Xvid, and network shares... which makes this thing infinitely more useful. I have a lot of admiration for the folks at: http://wiki.awkwardtv.org/wiki/Main_Page ...without their documentation I never could have done this. Thanks guys!

As for the boat, no waterproofing as yet... but the cable has been run and electronics moved to the starboard bulkhead in a waterproof containter. This afternoon I will get down there to solder the connections and plug in the modified ICOM 7000. Next step: APRS so I can monitor position and stats on Google Earth!

Oh, and the garage has been cleaned up. Boring.

Personal Projects

Faith: Antenna cable deck fitting resized, waterproofed. Console storage waterproofed with weather stripping. Solar panel deck fitting waterproofed.

Garage: sail bags stowed properly. Electronics boxed, stowed. dusted. Tools and workbench setup.

Electronics projects: aTV hacked with patchstick. xastir installed. weather station software compiled. weather station hooked up.
