Larry, K3LS >rmhp20@prodigy.com There are several Internet-to-packet gateways running. Generally, you need to have the sysop set up permissions for you to be able to access the radio side, however (to keep the FCC happy). There is a list of gateways on a server in Australia called "minnie", but I can't seem to locate the full address in my pile of papers here.

I bought it soon after buying the Universal Radio M1200 digital radio decoder card. It contains copy of most digital transmission types. Mainly a wide variety of diplomatic and military types. I used it to familiarize myself with the sounds of digital types and also to verify the operation of my M1200 decoder card. The CD set does not include examples of G-TOR or Clover and would benefit from a few more examples of various MCVFT and WDM types. Still, I found it useful in developing a basic recognition of digital types. Basically, if you have an average ear, you will only come to recognize ten or so basic types. The ARQ types have their chirp-chirp, and you may learn to distinquish SITOR-A and a couple more. And the fundamental ITA RTTY will become familiar, but the various speeds will still be hard to disting- uish. The FEC types will be harder to discern. They usually have a rhythym or grittyness different from ITA Baudot. On a few occasions, I have played the CD while listening to an unknown on the receiver. This has helped me to sort out and decode a couple of signals. Using the CD to verify the operation of your decoder card is equally valuable. When you first get your decoder, the frustration of failing to decode much can easily discourage you. With the CD set you can learn to sort out the speeds and frequency shifts, and more importantly, learn the tricky art of manually syncing to FEC signals. Clearly, I think the CD set is worth owning. Klinginfuss publishes a large library of books related to Utility Radio. I have bought most of and consider them to be a valuable reference library. Hope this helps... Bye...

All help will be greatly appreciated. -> -> 73, ka1njl Glad to hear other folks beginning to use this excellent radio for packet use. I have a GEMII of the 70cm variety that I am modifying for 9K6 packet repeater use, and have been working on the mod. since acquiring the unit at Dayton this year. First thing to keep in mind: the MII comes in MANY different manufacturing versions, and it is quite easy to inadvertantly pick up the WRONG docs for the exact unit you have. There will be a paper tag on each PCB assembly section; go by THAT number to match docs. Disregard any other info! Next, a simple question: in the control head area up front of the radio, you will find a bank of pins labelled P904. Is one of those pins marked "DISC" ?? On the receive side, my interface worked the first try. The DISC pin noted above comes right off the IF. To improve bandpass characteristics of the IF receive audio, the final RC filter may have to be removed, but anyway, I was able to copy beacon text without ANY modification. On the transmit side, the general approach is to use the temp. compensation curcuit in the ICOMs as a way to impose 9k6 modulation on the transmit signal. Only problem is that there is a 5 volt bias on that line, and I'm just now getting around to constructing an OP AMP curcuit to take the 9k6 audio and add the proper DC bias. A high performance OP AMP is needed to not distort the 9k6 audio; I'm using the NSC LMC-6082. Anyway, maybe between us we can come up with a "cookie cutter" MOD file for this excellent radio.

I was wondering if anyone has come across a terminal program which permits the transfer of binary data or 8 bit data via pactor. Raw data sends are possible with DSP/PK Gold for example - but I have yet to come across any TNC program that would enable one to use the full capabilities of this mode. Suggestions etc are most welcome since we are interested in exploring some of these capabilities of Pactor.

The program will run but will not control the PK232MBX. I tried all configuations with no luck. To test the system I reinstalled Pakratt II for DOS. No problems! Fully operational. To test operation from Windows I ran the DOS Pakratt in both full screen and windowed modes. Again, no problems. Full operation. Then I found something strange. If I run Pakratt II and quit the program and then run Pakratt for Windows, it starts working fine! Has anybody run into this problem? The only thing I suspect may be causing this is the age of the ROM software in my PK232MBX (19 July 1990). It hasn't been upgraded for PACTOR but the unit should still initialize shouldn't it?
