Grab the file hispeed.005 from pub/hamradio/packet on hydra.carleton.ca. It's a list of equipment options rather than a 'howto', but it will give you some of the info you're looking for. I've got some post-Dayton updates to do, so there should be a hispeed.006 along soon...

The Israeli Army has apparently never heard of the ITU regulation (it it exists), since they have lots of jeeps and trucks with big HF whips on them.

How to Use the WB7TPY Packet <-> Internet Gateway First, some brief operational notes: (1) Messages must not contain any foul language, or commercial purpose. (2) Messages can only be sent to countries that the United States has a third-party agreement. All others will be destroyed. (3) Messages from the internet should be less then 5K in length. No files should be sent. (4) If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me either on packet radio: WB7TPY@WB7TPY.AZ.USA.NA -or- Internet : david@stat.com (5) Have fun. Use the gateway as much as you like. That is what it is there for. ------ From Internet to Packet ------ Send mail to the internet address of: gate@wb7tpy.ampr.org The first line of text must contain a full packet address, preceded with the word "Packet:" For example, mail to my packet address, would have the first line of text; Packet: wb7tpy@wb7tpy.az.usa.na ** NOTE: this line MUST be left justified. ------ From Packet to Internet ------ Send as private mail (never a bulletin) to the packet address of: gate@wb7tpy.az.usa.na The first line of text must contain a full domained internet address, proceeded with the word "Internet:" For example, mail to my internet address, would have the first line of text; Internet: david@stat.com --- Editor, HICNet Medical Newsletter Internet: david@stat.com FAX: +1 (602) 451-1165 Bitnet : ATW1H@ASUACAD ------------------------------ Date: 8 May 94 15:02:30 -0600 From: ihnp4.ucsd.edu!sdd.hp.com!saimiri.primate.wisc.edu!news.doit.wisc.edu!uwec.edu!hemp!whitemp@network.ucsd.edu Subject: JNOS HELP FILES To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu I am looking for one of two things: 1) The help files for JNOS (the help that pops up when you do a ? at the command line.)

To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu Hello all. I am trying to get TPK working with my local F6FBB pbbs, but I'm having a few problems. The most difficult problem is getting TPK to log the unproto message headers that are transmitted by the bbs to be logged to my hard drive. I am using MS-DOS v6.2. I have set a path to tpk in autoexec.bat as well as an environment variable. I'm also running Doublespace. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd like to get this thing working properly.

It has been my experience that the weak link has always been in the analog part of the system... Do you get good connects and fast response from the BBS...??? i.e. not many retries on connecting and reading messages manually... If you are getting anything at all logged to the hard drive then your problem is in the TNC/RADIO/ANTENNA link... Without knowing any other particulars, I couldn't tell you much more... I have friends who are running TPK with DOS 6.2 with no trouble... (I am using 5.0 still -- solid) Hope this helps... 73...

Is there any way to convert the number >that is transmitted to the CAP code? That is not the way I interpret the POCSAG standard. The code transmitted by a pager company is the CAP code for the appropriate pager. To do it any other way would be a bit assinine because that would force the software developers that work on pagers to include bulky decoding algorithms. The full address of a pager is 24 (or is it 18) bits (if my memory is correct). The address being broadcast is only part of the complete address with the remainder of the address being which frame the message starts in. I do not remember if the first part of the address determines the frame or the last part - I think it is the first 3 bits. Anyways, my memory is a bit faulty... BTW... Why did you use an anonymous address to ask this question? It's not as if POCSAG is classified information... ANY good technical library will have reams on the subject.
