To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu I saved a few $$. Currently using a Ten Tec Omni-V and looking for an upgrade to a new rig. {I don't hear anything about a new OMNI-7 ?? did anyone pick up on any rumors at Dayton ?} What do you recommend for HF PacTOR ? something that will grow with new PacTOR modes (PSK ?), run 300 baud G-TOR and have sufficient audio bandpass,filters selection etc ?. I see that only the Yaesu has a "RTTY" and "Packet" connector on the back of the rig. But since most of PacTOR is/will be LSB and not use the FSK capabilities of the rig - is there an advantage ? Any suggestions welcomed.

In partitioning, I accidently placed the database pointers off in limbo. So...for the past few days, those of you ordering files have received nothing. My apologies. Well...it's fixed now (I hope), so if you have ordered and received nothing, try it again. 73 de KA6ETB -- harding@orygun.nas.nasa.gov steveh@grafex.sbay.org Send email to HAM-server@GRAFex.sbay.org with HELP as text for amateur radio related info.

I think I pulled it of oak.oakland.edu . When you telnet into the system you get the mailbox with various facilities like telnet. So when you use this telnet function to telnet to another host on the internet network, it get as far as the intro messages before the login prompt and just before you get the login prompt, the remote system disconnects you.....help! But if you telnet to a mail port (port 25) it connects fine and let you send mail manually. Please can anybody perhaps help? Send all replies to jakes@maxwell.ctech.ac.za and I will then post it back into this newsgroup.

The main thing that seems to characterize a comparison between the two modes is the apparent fact that G-TOR doesn't require a significant upgrading of hardware, whereas Clover by nature of being a four-tone AFSK mode, does. If GTOR is within shouting distance of Clover with respect to performance, , it may be that many amateurs will prefer to go that rout. Time will tell, of course. Thanks again for the interesting info. 73 -- rogjd@netcom.com Glendale, CA AB6WR ------------------------------ Date: 6 May 94 04:36:28 GMT From: agate!howland.reston.ans.net!noc.near.net!news.delphi.com!usenet@ucbvax.berkeley.edu To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu References <2pjvll$7l5@crcnis1.unl.edu>, <2q6e92$kbk@hermes.acs.ryerson.ca>, <1994May4.100155.15200@dxcern.cern.ch> Subject : Re: PacketRadio forLinux with Baycom ?? I have asked the same question except for my 3B2 UNIX box and EVERYONE says It can't be done or it could be done but would be slow and require precise timing and an integral knowledge of each function call in DOS and the equivelent call in UNIX. I've given up on the idea...But it's still one of those things that will always be on my wishlist (I have 8 serial ports imagine all the possibilities for this old 3B2). I was wondering if I could run the Baycom TNC on my DOS machine and my regular PK-88 thru my UNIX box and network the two together some way using a slip connection??? Any ideas would be appreciated.
