A novel idea. Unfortunately, based on the education system in the US
today, it will probably keep more people out of ham radio than Morse
Code ever did. :-) or maybe :-(

Subject: Novice v2.2 and Advanced v1.2 fixes for HyperCard Stacks
Message-ID: <29660@genrad.UUCP>
Since the corrections for these two updates were minor, I figured I'd
post the corrections here. Other fixes available may be obtained from
me via email and include:
Novice v2.0 to v2.1 corrections
Technician v2.0 to v2.1 corrections
General v1.0 to v1.1 corrections
Advanced v1.0 to v1.1 corrections
These fixes are for the HyperCard Ham Stacks which I created for the
MacIntosh computer. HyperCard only runs on Macs, so I don't believe this
is of any value to IBM PC owners.
PS Note the callsign change in my .signature :-)
Novice Ham Stack v2.1 CHANGES to get to v2.2:
--------------------------------------------
Someone has noted to me that the question on double-throw switches is
incorrect. I've looked at the Tune In The World With Ham Radio and I
DID copy it in correctly. BUT I agree that it is incorrect. So here's
the changes to fix it. This change DOES require "painting" ability in
HyperCard, but I will try to explain it so even an uninitiated can fix
it.
1. Ctrl M to pull up a message box.
2. Type "set userlevel to 5"
3. Type "show menubar"
4. Type "go to card "#275""
5. Click on the Tools Menu and PULL it over to the right side by holding
down the mouse and pulling OFF of the menu. When you release the mouse,
the Tools Menu will remain visible.
6. Choose the "select" tool. That's the dashed square right below the Browse
ICON in the top left corner.
7. Carefully select to top right circle of the picture in Answer B. This is
done by moving cursor just above the top left of the circle, click and
hold down the mouse while pulling across to the bottom right of the circle.
Keep the box as SMALL as possible but be sure that you've selected all
of the circle. (If you make a mistake, remember that Edit Menu, Undo,
will undo the last thing you did)
8. While the circle is selected, hold down the OPTION and SHIFT keys and
click on the circle and hold down the mouse key. Go STRAIGHT UP and place
the newly created circle right above the top slanted bar.
9. Release the buttons. Now, while the new circle is still selected,
hold down the OPTION and SHIFT keys and click on the circle and hold down
the mouse key. Go STRAIGHT DOWN and place the newly created circle right
above the lower slanted bar. The result should something like:
o
/ /
/ /
o|o o|o
| instead of: |
|o |
|/ |/
/ /
o o o o
10. Click Browse (top left ICON) in the Tools Menu, then click the Tools
Menu close square.
Update complete! Now get out of HyperCard, select the Novice Ham Stack
ICON, pull down File Menu and choose Info, and change v2.1 to v2.2.
Advanced Ham Stack v1.1 CHANGES to get to v1.2:
---------------------------------------------
Card Bug Description
Name Type
#181 typo Question: "13.6" should be "3.6"
Answer D: "21.1" should be "16.5"
Update complete! Now get out of HyperCard, select the Advanced Ham Stack
ICON, pull down File Menu and choose Info, and change v1.1 to v1.2.

Not true. They could use an A/D to get the signal into digital form,
encode it with whatever digital encryption scheme they like, and then
use a D/A to get the encrypted signal back into analog. This signal
could be used to modulate the transmitter in the conventional way.
Alternatively, the digital signal could be used to directly modulate the
transmitter. (This is possible with PLL controlled FM tranmitters, for
example.) Of course, a D/A would still be needed to drive the audio
amplifier with the decrypted signal on receive. The expense is not as
much as you might imagine, but it still was significant enough that the
cellular-telephone lobby was able to spend thousands of dollars lobbying
for the nazi-gestapo-like ECPA law.

Anybody out there in net-land know where I can acquire
the full X.25 and AX.25 packet protocols?
Thanks in advance - Mike
