To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu A friend of mine is having problems. His commodore computer controls a transmitter (2-meter TR7200G) by means of a special modem. The transmit/receive conditions are okay. After starting data transmission, within a few seconds the transmitter is shut down. (by modem or computer?) Does anybody have an idea? Thanks in advance.

What a great program! Unfortunately, because I don't read German, there is about 10% of the program that I can't figure out. Is there anyone who has a translation of the manual, or who understands the program well enough to answer some questions about it?

To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu On page 66 of the June 1994 issue of QST, there is a reference to an Internet mailing list for ICOM owners. You are supposed to send E-mail to "icom-request@hipp.etsu.edu" with "SUBSCRIBE [your e-mail address]" in the body of the message. I have tried this several times with no results over the past month. So I have a few questions: 1) Does this Listserver work for anyone? 2) What kind of ICOM information is distributed here? [Could you E-mail me a posting as an example?] 3) Is there a trick I am missing for getting added to this listserv? Since this is my first attempt to use a listserv, I suspect that question "3" above is the kicker. Any help or comments would be appreciated....

The Information Server is an automated mail server that gives you access to many of information files relating to various facets of Amateur Radio. You can retrieve any or all of these files by sending an email message to info@arrl.org here at ARRL HQ. Each file you request is then mailed to you automatically. To use it, mail messages to: info@arrl.org Each line of the message body should contain a command as shown below. The subject of your message is not processed and may be omitted. You may place as many commands in a message as you want. The files you request will be sent to you in separate messages. Only ASCII text files are supported. Valid INFO commands: reply
(may be needed - see below for explanation) help index send FILENAME (example: send prospect.txt) quit In the above message example, "help" retrieves a brief set of instructions for info, "index" retrieves a list of available files and "send prospect.txt" retrieves a text file containing information on becoming a radio amateur. Note to users with FTP capability: All of these files are also available by anonymous ftp to oak.oakland.edu in the pub/hamradio/arrl/infoserver area. Retrieve the file index.txt in the /league sub-directory for a complete listing of available files. If you want to retrieve several text files with one message, use a separate line for each "send filename" request. Your From: field or Reply-to: field in your header should contain a valid Internet address, including full domain name. If your From: field does not contain a valid Internet address, the answer will not reach you. If this is the case, then use the reply command as shown above. When needed, this command should always be the first command in your message. IMPORTANT: Please use the quit command in your message. This will prevent processing errors from message signatures. PLEASE NOTE!: This is an automated system not capable of handling written requests. Any questions on the info-server or the content of any of its files should be directed to mtracy@arrl.org. ALSO NOTE!: Do *NOT* reply to messages sent from info@arrl.org - the reply address is redirected to keep bounced messages from endlessly looping. Write a new message to info@arrl.org instead. The Technical Information Service gives League members on the internet better access to the knowledgeable technical staff here at ARRL HQ. Questions relating to Amateur Radio and related technical topics are welcome. To use this service, send a normal e-mail message to tis@arrl.org with your question spelled out in plain english. For best service, be as specific as possible and keep your line length in messages to a maximum of 80 characters. Due to personnel limitations, priority will be given to questions from League members. Best Regards, Michael Tracy, KC1SX, ARRL Technical Information Services Coordinator (e-mail mtracy@arrl.org) Sample of files available from INFO: (There are lots more!)

He exchanged it and this one seemed to work but had some odd problems that seemed be caused by intermittent hardware failure. He called MFJ and they were no help at all -- in fact the guy was downright rude. Could have been a fluke, I guess. He exchanged it for a third unit and it did not work either. Basically the same problem as the first -- it would power on but not talk. At this point he returned it for a refund and bought a Kantronics KAM Plus. It worked out of the box the first time. A nice advantage is that the people at Kantronics are the nicest you could ever speak with and they really stand behind the products. Sometimes it makes me wish I had bought the Katronics KPC-3 instead of the AEA PK-88. On the other hand, the PK-88 has been working solid since I bought it. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 3 Jul 1994 18:34:55 GMT From: ihnp4.ucsd.edu!library.ucla.edu!news.ucdavis.edu!chip.ucdavis.edu!szhall@network.ucsd.edu Subject: Wanted dumb ter. for packet.
