Welcome!

In 1969 I passed the Novice exam with 5 words per minute. But I let my license expire in 1971. I have wanted to get back into Ham Radio all this time but with church, family, work, and kids it just didn't seem to happen. But this summer I crammed for the Technician exam and now I am licensed once more.

Equipment:

I have a KDK 2 meter FM transceiver that I picked up on e-bay. The antenna is just a yagi stuck on the end of a 10 feet PVC pipe.

Select the button you wish to change by clicking on it with the right mouse button. Make sure you see the red outline around the button indicating it has been selected.

  1. Select Image Text Properties from the menu (or Create Image Text in the case of the blank button).

  2. Change the text, font, size or color and click OK.

Changing Button Spacing

To precisely control the distance between buttons, use the vertical and horizontal spacing options in Image Properties (double click on the button).

In order for this to work, the buttons must not be in different paragraphs. If there is an unintended gap between the buttons, try selecting the button as above, and press Shift-Ctrl-M. This toggles between a line break and a new paragraph.

Alternate Button Blank Buttons

To use an alternative button shape, choose from the selection below. Use Image Text (as described above) to add text to the buttons.
