Really be interested in your >evaluation. Already one negative from your post: poor/scant manuals. I have been using DSP-59+ for about a year, including the upgrade chip. Works great, particularly on Digital and SSB modes. My only complaint is the lack of bandwidth of AM mode where performance could be improved. The digital regeneration mode is useful if you have a weaker decoder, but does not really improve things consistently with my PK-232. On ssb, it truly does make the audio sound almost as good as local FM under many condition. The built-in AGC is a bit pumpy, and if find I get better results on voice if I don't use it. CW is great as long as you take the time to set the centre frequency up for the same frequency your receiver filter centres on., i.e., in my case 800Hz CF. With the new chip, you can vary the degree of noise reduction from the front panel - otherwise you need to move an internal jumper. If you buy one used, check on this because the jumper route is a real pain, and there are many times when you will want to adjust the degree of NR as you try to optimize SNR. Good Luck. The manuals are fine - I cannot think of anything of importance that is missing, other than some theory on DSP, but you can find that elsewhere.

If you've got the licence it's even legal, but still then not appiciated by other ham's. If you are using CB you'll find the chanels to small (close together) to use 28k8, common practice on CB is 1k2 or 2k4. This is due to the bandwith required to transmit 28k8 over loger distances while leaving some s/n ratio at the receiving end. 1k2 is not expencive, a few bugs for the modem is all you need to spend. If you're willing to learn for the licence, the ham-radio packet-network might come close to your needs. If you want to know more about hams just ask an american ham.

Date: 1 Dec 95 19:16:26 GMT Organization: ucsd usenet gateway Lines: 85 Message-ID: <9512011114.aa05896@bbs.doruk.com.tr> NNTP-Posting-Host: ucsd.edu Originator: daemon@ucsd.edu Somewhat against my better judgement, I'm going to get back into this thread, because I've read too many comments and questions along the lines of 'BayCom (or AX25 or whatever) can't work in a computer with any other software running because it ties the CPU up in a timing loop' or 'interrupts are not important'. I'll try to contribute something that I hope will help to eliminate some of the confusion. For some reason, there is a misconception about the BayCom and AX25 type programs - that they can't be used in a PC while other programs are running. They can be and are used as TSRs very often, witness AX25.COM, TFPCX.EXE, BPQAX25.EXE. Many people are running BayCom in a DOS window under Windows. All of these programs, and many other similar ones, are used as 'virtual TNCs' or 'virtual PADs' - they can and do work with other software running in the PC at the 'same time'. As I am writing this note, my little 386SX20 is also at work running an AX25 derivative as a virtual PAD (Packet Assembler/Disassembler) and BPQCODE as a node switch. All at the 'same time'. How is this possible under MSDOS, the notoriously unfriendly-to- multitasking operating system? By the very clever use of hardware interrupts. UART and system timer interrupts are *everything* to a program like BayCom or AX25. If these programs had to use the CPU for 'timing' they couldn't coexist with other programs and would be practically useless. These programs send their data to the modem on the UART DTR pin and receive on the CTS pin. They (I don't have the BayCom source code, so I can't be 100% certain of how it works - but it must work in much the same way, or it wouldn't work at all in a PC) set up the UART so that it generates a hardware interrupt each time that the Tx Holding Register is Empty (THRE), or the CTS line is seen to have changed state (Delta-CTS). When the UART generates an interrupt, it requires immediate attention from the CPU. When it receives the interrupt (via the PIC), the CPU halts its current task and services the interrupt. If it's a THRE, the communications port interrupt service routine sends another byte out the TxData line (this is necessary for timing, not to power your TCM3105 modem) and decides whether or not to switch the state of the DTR line for the next bit. If it's a Delta-CTS, the program notes the time so that it can calculate later whether the Delta-CTS was probably an AX25 frame bit or was not, from the regularity and pattern of the Delta-CTS interrupts. Remember, all this is going on in the PC at the 'same time' as the NOS or BPQ or FBB (or a combination of these) is running. How is it possible to do all this at the 'same time'? It isn't! The hardware interrupts 'stop time' as far as the other programs are concerned, and if the code for the BayCom or AX25 program is well-written (it is), so that the interrupt can be serviced quickly and the CPU returned to its previous task, the other programs never know the difference. If your computer is running AX25 full duplex at 1200 baud with NOS or a derivative, your UART is generating THRE interrupts 1200 times per second (one for each bit of output) and may be generating 1200 additional interrupts per second for Delta-CTS of the incoming data (assuming it's real data, not noise). That's a total of up to 2400 interrupts per second (or maybe more, if you're receiving noise), and the THRE and Delta-CTS interrupts are completely unsynchronized. It's easy to see that if the service for each interrupt takes more than a few tens of microseconds, there isn't much time left for the computer to do anything else. Try it on a 4 MHz XT and it will surely fail. On a 386SX20, it works. On a Pentium 'monster' it's a piece of cake: the computer is idle about 90% of the time, waiting for something new to happen. Programs like BayCom and AX25 *don't* tie the CPU up in mindless loops for 'timing'. Most of the time, they wait in the background for the UART or system timer to generate an interrupt, so that they can do a bit of work. Programs like BayCom and AX25 *can* and *do* work on PC-type computers at the 'same time' as applications like NOS and BPQCODE. They even work in the pseudo- multitasking environment of Windows. They are able to do this *because of* hardware interrupts. I hope this helps. 73 - de Mike (TA2ZG/W2AV) Remote Sysop TA2EM BBS - first PRBBS in Turkiye Amateur Packet Radio: TA2ZG@TA2EM.#IST.TUR.EU Internet (email only): Michael C.

That's news to me. The schematic I have for the KAM shows a limiter (switchable from the front panel) and switched-capacitor filters for MARK/SPACE and lowpass. No PLL anywhere as far as I can see.

And as far as the PK232 is concerned, it's my understanding that its filters were "not particularly well implemented" on purpose - they were designed as a compromise so that the unit would work with 45 baud RTTY as well as 300 baud packet and all the stuff in between. You can certainly argue about whether that's a poor design, but it makes for a cost effective unit which provides reasonable performance and which people are willing to pay for. As far as HF packet goes - I agree with you, it's a poor solution regardess of the modem design.

I sold computers at a local dealership for about a year. We also built custom computers as well. I was hired because I had experience building computers from scratch. In March of '95 we picked up the PB Line and man was I amazed. We discovered that PB was putting very slow hard drives, very slow video cards, and other parts that were not what I would call "current". Our 486 DX2-66 computers would exceed the performance of PB's Pentium systems up to 75 Mhz. We also built 486 DX4 80 & 100 systems that blew the socks off PB's Pentium 90 & 100 systems. What gives??? Their poor supporting hardware (HDD, HDD controller, Video controller) seems to bottleneck what is otherwise a fantastic processor. As far as service was concerned, when someone had a problem, we simply exchanged the computer for up to 1 year!! We were the #1 PB dealer in the area so we could easily make PB eat it or drop their line! My suggestion to computer buyers is to build your own!! If you don't know how, find someone that does. You can then hand pick each piece that goes into it and get a good performance machine. Another rule of thumb I use is to NEVER buy a computer based on the software packaged with it. It is only a sales gimmick! Price wise custom built computers run a little higher but the performance advantage is worth it in the future. And by hand picking good, brand-name parts, you'll have less service problems. btw...we commonly referred to the PB as our best POS (Piece of $hit) computers!

Most people buy a BayPac modem instead of building the one-chip modem (too much work I guess). The PMP modems used a TEXAS INSTRUMENTS TCM3105JL one-chip 1200 baud half-duplex device that supports the BELL202 protocal. Some of the earliest modems supported this mode and there-fore were prime candidates to wire-up for packet radio. At present I have a few 'REAL' tnc's kicking around now, but I sure liked using my PMP modem with the 1)TFPCX driver, 2)BPQ packet switch software running on top of that, with the 3)G8NPF PMS/BBS software running on-top of that...or optionally, the F6FBB BBS software. The NPF software was easy to setup and supported most every thing that FBB could do (without the need to wad thru hundreds of pages of docs). I just saw a new version of NPF floating around, too! For simplicity on my lap-top, I like the PMP or BayCom software. Good Luck! and 73...

With clear line of sight we can transmit full duplex 115 KB data over 20 miles. Under ideal conditions much greater range can be achieved (recently a customer of ours had a 90 mile link from Mt. Everest to Kathmandu with a 5 watt amplifier on only 1 end). The product can also be used as a store and forward repeater. Therefore, with a combination of directional antennas, good line of sight, and a repeater or two, our product can do the job. Please let me know if you would like some more information.

A CATV system consists of narrowband directional receiving antennes which are pointing to specific tv transmitters in the region. It seems highly unlikely to me that the 70cm amateur band is being received and distributed in such a system. However, most modern TV sets and videorecorders are capable of receiving ATV broadcasts. But you will have to connect it to your own 70cm antenna system. On my ITT videorecorder, the CC 37 (Cable Channel 37) is receiving at 434 MHz. 73 Joop, PE1DNA From Unknown Sun Dec 03 12:38:41 1995 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!howland.reston.ans.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!tir.com!news From: garyn@tir.com (Gary Newberry) Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc Subject: Re: TS-850 TO KAM FSK Date: Sat, 02 Dec 1995 23:48:10 GMT Organization: The Internet Ramp Lines: 24 Message-ID: <49qo3l$1eg@ramp2.lisp.com> References: <48mlek$ffm@horn.wyoming.com> <49pols$i5h@newsbf02.news.aol.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: an19.tir.com X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent 1.0.82 rllcook@aol.com (RLLCOOK) wrote: >Don, it's pretty straight forward.

First, you should get TFPCX 2.10, the latest version (I don't know on which ftp site it is available, but I think you'll find it easily). Then, add @C10 in the parameters : it then should work with soft DCD on your BayCom modem. You can also try to use PC/FlexNet instead of TFPCX, forgetting the digipeater side. A simple MODE x 1200c does the same job : soft DCD ! > Thanks for your help.

It works well, although there are several problems that I have been unable to rectify: - Small screen I heard that there is a new vt100 emulator for the HP that will handle a virtual 80x25 screen, but I have yet to see it. The best I can do right now is 33x16 (I think), upper-case only. Additionally, the emulator can not handle all the VT commands, so it is only usefull in line mode. No raw or cooked programs for you! - Slow refreshes Even though the port is capable of receiving at 9600, I am not satisfied with the speed of drawing the characters on screen. A single line of text may take ten seconds! This is by far the most frustrating aspect. - Short battery life Using the serial port continuously sucks the batteries dry. Better have some form of backup battery for extended trips -- how do you plan to power the calculator? - Extended typing is difficult No discussion here. I don't know anyone who is faster on the 48 than a real QWERTY. For line mode only applications (e.g., most packet BBS's), it works well. I use mine to log into an interactive shell on a Unix machine, so my requirements are very different from the standard packet user. It is a thrill to show people that I can browse the web and read my mail via my calculator while in class. My next project is to buy an older Newton and write an AX.25 stack for it. It has the I/O speed that I need to format the packets and decode them as they arrive. I've heard that it can't reliably scroll faster than 2400 baud, but the packets don't arrive that quickly. Does anyone have experience here?

Scott (et. al.): While a slow T/R switching time won't make 9600 operation impossible, it does limit the effective baud rate -- if you have to run a 300 msec. delay before you can squirt out a 50 msec. packet you will probably ultimately be disappointed in 9600 baud operation. 73 -- Lynn *************************************************************** * Lynn W.

Generally speaking, even if the compiler supports a '486 compile, the difference in performance would be neglidgeable. Also, if you're using a memory manager of any kind you may find that 8080/8086 version a lot more stable.

A tnc and a plain old terminal program such as Zterm will work also. The Hostmaster Mac has the details for hooking up the radio and other stuff that you will need to know in it. 73-Jon Peterson N9OUM From Unknown Fri Dec 08 19:08:17 1995 Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!news.us.world.net!ns2.mainstreet.net!aimnet.com!netserv.com!pagesat.net!saltcreek.beach.net!intrfle!lynn.taylor From: lynn.taylor@InterFlex.com Subject: MFJ V'S KAMTRONICS ??

This radio is basically limiter to 1200 baud without modifications. You will find a lot of activity at this speed. The choice of modems is kind of irrelevant, at 1200 baud they all interoperate with each other, and they are generally standard items in most TNCs. The four major TNC manufacturers are PacComm, AEA, MFJ and Kantronics. PacComm is the most expensive, but only by a few dollars. Their Tiny-2 is the standard of the industry. MFJ's TNCs are a little cheaper, but physically larger. Those made by AEA and Kantronics work fine, but they are not TNC-2 clones, meaning they basically have non-standard proprietary architecture, and any upgrades will cost you. You also cannot use commonly available Freeware packet networking software (Like TheNET or ROSE) in them. The reallycheap way is a simple modem that sits on your serial port. The computer does all the TNC functions. This takes a bit of effort on the computer's part, but for a beginner, it is a cheap way to get on packet. It is called a BayCom modem, and is sold by PacComm. 73 & GL, Don N2IRZ From Unknown Fri Dec 08 19:08:27 1995 Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!news.ahc.ameritech.com!ddsw1!news.mcs.net!van-bc!news.mindlink.net!agate!howland.reston.ans.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!news.kei.com!uhog.mit.edu!news.mtholyoke.edu!news.umass.edu!news.hampshire.edu!hamp!aswNS From: aswNS@hamp.hampshire.edu (4) Subject: Re: Packet interfaces Message-ID: <c27cb$e161f.2a2@news.hampshire.edu> Date: Sat, 02 Dec 1995 19:22:31 GMT References: <49n1kh$g9b@guitar.sound.net> Organization: Hampshire College, Amherst MA X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Lines: 31 On 1 Dec 1995 13:57:37 GMT Chuck Freeman (cfreeman@sound.net) wrote in rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc: : Does anyone remember the PMP (Poor Mans Packet) interface that appeared quite a few : years ago?

Unfortuntely the SofTNC package doesn't work with the original PMP parallel port modem. This is unfortunate, beacuse there are some laptops that don't work with some of the serial port modems but do work with the parallel port modem. I happen to have one such laptop. Anyway, I frequently use PMP on my laptop when travelling. Its main disadvantage is you can't type, and you lose characters if you try to type, while a packet is being decoded. This makes it particularly hard to use on a very busy channel.

I am a net control for the Central Ohio Severe Weather Net, and we do this exactly. We have Motorola Pagecom pagers that are tuned to our repeater freq (146.76), and wait for a tone & PL that can be activated from on the air, or any phone by dialing into the controller. This system works great, mainly because its on the highest profile machine in Columbus. When the pagers are activated, they beep a few times, then the squelch breaks and stays open, thus, you can tell if it "went off" while you ran into the store or something. If you need more techinal info, I will be happy to supply. BTW, you can find these VHF pagers at just about any hamfest. 73. -- +=================================+===================================+ |Christopher K.

I would like to put in a full alpha/numeric paging system for our local hams. They could then pick up used pagers on the market, convert them to 2mtr freq. and have they use of them. > When you call the phone number to activate the pager who is the control > operater ? You need to be a Tech. amateur license holder or higher to > activate the pager. In VE4 land you need to be an advanced operator to have the licience on a repeater. My idea is to put the pager system on the same freq as the local autopatch. This would be then used simular to a reverse autopatch, just with out anyone replying back. > > The second problem is that in congested urban areas most of the 2M > intermod is blamed on digital pagers. Many Hams that work in big citys > would see this as adding to problem, myself included. Ture but we would only be using about 25 watts compared to 200 watts for the comerical guys. the idea goes something like this: use the autopatch frequency, install a 286 computer with one of these new fanct fax/modems that allow for voice mail boxes on the hard drive. (the Zoltrix for example) These new modems also will talk to paging systems and will pass on a message from the voice mailbox to a pager (or at least activate the pager). The ham will then get a page and will use the autopatch to pick up his message. While the orginator of the message will not neccessary be a ham, it is the same as passing third party traffic, or using a reverse autopatch. The transmitting will only be intened for licienced hams. Another example, A ham puts a pager on his daughter's belt, she goes to the local playground. it's dinner time and the ham calls the autopatch and has his duaghter paged to come home. This case it's a ham activating an ham station and sending out digital codes that no one responds to, but his daughter still comes home for dinner. As long as proper monitoring is done to insure that no business traffic is passed, there should not be a problem. I have seen paging encoders (used) go for about $20.00 CDN, and used pagers for $10.00. new pagers $90.00. But then again to subcribe to a commerical service is $15.00 per month or $180 per year. This will not add any time to the autopatch freq. as it will only page when the autopatch is not in use. Most people do not monitor the autopatch freq anyway, but only go to that frequency when they need to make a call. Derek W. J.

Its easier to use than the common AY devices. Baudrate is externally generated. The IC is a serial/parallel converter and vice versa. Baudrates are up to 100kBaud. I use it to serialize the AD converter output of my meteosat converter. Try http://www.semi.harris.com to get a datasheet. The fax infothek really works wordwide!

You can get the same results with many microcontrollers now, but that requires investment in tools and programming hardware. The easiest would be to buy a ready-made RS232 to centronics converter, the way most favoured with the sci.electronics group would have to be using a microcontroller.

It seems to run well for about 1 month and then it screws up the priv_msg list files. It does numerous things like: 1) You try to delete a message in the priv_msg file and tpk says it doesn't exist. I have to copy another msg number onto it so I can delete it from the list. 2) I am a heavy user of Ken Robson's TPK-7 server which process's reqfil requests. I generally get about 10 hits per day which generates a fair amount of traffic. TPK HAS sent a message to the WRONG person, my Sysop who was rather amused... I have now disabled smartdrive, which makes the 386 run like a "pig". Will this "cure" my problems, does anyone else have the same problems and is there a fix for this ????? (probably not).. I am seriously considering switching to winpack5.13 as I have the source code to the reqfil server and it is easy to customise...

My thoughts are not to use the VHF's however. Here in rock and roll Central California some lower frequency seems far better, especially when mountainous areas are involved. First thoughts were 80 and 160 meters for this. It then became apparent that not all activity was amateur related and much of that activity involved the use of codeless hams. Experiments are now going on using BPSK at one baud (that is one character per second) in the 1750 meter experimenters band. No license is required regardless of the amateur activity. It seems to me that this is the only reasonably competant way to get messages out of the local area when extended damage occurs! 73 Cliff Buttschardt W6HDO On 6 Dec 1995, Christopher K Greenhalgh wrote: > In article <Pine.SUN.3.91.951205111511.16372A-100000@winnie.freenet.mb.ca>, > Derek W J Hay <derek@freenet.mb.ca> wrote: > > >Has anybody ever thought of putting a paging system up on the amateur > >bands, for HAm to use for their own personal use.

There were some articles a while back in Car and Driver about how to build a radar jammer. The physics involved in building a laser "jammer" would make it a challenging project, indeed! About all you can do would be to defeat the laser by fully absorbing the energy (no reflection) or scatter the laser reflection to such an extent that the receiver couldn't find the return. If you figure out how to actively "jam" a laser, there are some folks at the Pentagon that would probably enjoy talking to you...

With the repeater doing the paging, only a licenced amateur can set the pager off. A licenced amateur is in control at all times. The other benfit comes from using the Minitor pager. It allows the repeater to be monitored. I'm not sure what you mean by 'personal use'. Seems to me that if it's not an amateur related page then you should be doing it on a commercial freq.

Many Hams that work in big citys : would see this as adding to problem, myself included. I'm not sure what you mean by adding to the problem. It's usually the higher power of the paging transmitters mixed in with a very congested RF enviroment that causes intermod problems. Adding a transmitter into the ham bands would cause as many problems as adding another repeater or packet node. I'm sure most amateur repeaters are run at less power than most paging transmitters. If your worried about intermod getting into the pagers then you don't have to worry too much. Most commercial gear is far better at keeping out intermod than amateur gear.

I use the computers as dumb terminals with local disk storage, so I don't have the problems that may be encountered with so-called packet software. I use procomm on the PC and ZTerm on the Mac as the communications software. Zterm has a nice feature that keeps a running buffer of unlimited size. You can also elect to send everyting to disk. I used a Mac SE 30. In addition to the Mac, you need a modem cable and the PK-88.

Sean, Buy the PK-232 modem disconnect header retrofit kit from TAPR (www.tapr.org) for about $20, and then you can use whatever Modem you'd like, such as the NB-96 from PacComm, a licensed G3RUH modem. Sure, a '232 will do 9k6 as well as anything. A little expensive, if you have to buy one, but once you have it, certainly reasonable.

Ka-Gold has proven itself to me to be the BEST multimode program for the KAM+. It has been reliable, is easy to use, and operates flawlessly under DOS or Windows. I've tried almost every one of the competing packages & always returned to 'Gold. The others don't ever seem to approach the simplicity and power of the Interflex Product. The only problem is that it costs $$. I think over time, I've invested more with Interflex for upgrades, etc, than with Kantronics :^)... I also use Ka-Gold for a lot of HF digital work. It is very easy, plus the multimode/multiband features of the package allow me to keep an eye on packet clusters or local traffic while playing on HF. Good luck & enjoy..... -- George J.

Lots of used (and occasionally new) ham gear there.... sometimes even cheaper than new prices!! The radio shack units are good radios but the prices are usually a bit higher than what you can get by calling a few of the 1-800 ham dealer numbers in every ham magazine. But, their stores are usually a lot farther away than your corner radio shack in the event yours stops working, not that RS can fix your defunct unit but usually they will just exchange it for another unit if it is new enough. Also RS has occasional sales which make their ham rigs REALLY attractive pricewise. I've seen the HTX202 on sale for as little as $150 new and I believe the HTX404 440 HT is on sale for $225 or so even as we "speak". -- *********** Jim Devenport WB5AOX ************** * PO Box 445, McIntosh NM 87032 * * http://nis-www.lanl.gov/~jdport/ * *********************************************** From Unknown Wed Dec 13 14:35:47 1995 Path: news.epix.net!uunet!in2.uu.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!idir.net!usenet From: kmedcalf@kantronics.com (Kantronics) Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc Subject: Tech Support by e-mail at Kantronics Date: 13 Dec 1995 21:40:57 GMT Organization: Kantronics Lines: 8 Message-ID: <4anh99$f4d@sequoia.idir.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: idts1lw02.idir.net X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.7 Good news...Kantronics now has an e-mail account for technical support and service.

The original post was about asynchronous serial transfer. It can be done with the HD6402 as mentioned, but it will take a few extra chips to go along. A microcontroller with onboard PROM would probably give the lowest chip count, but you need some tools that not everyone has available (compiler/assembler, device programmer). /Henrik -- _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ Ericsson Microwave Systems AB _/ _/ Henrik Johnsson emwhkj@emw.ericsson.se _/ _/ tel +46 31 671898, fax +46 31 673833 _/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ From Unknown Wed Dec 13 14:35:59 1995 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!news.heurikon.com!news.ahc.ameritech.com!ddsw1!news.mcs.net!panix!bloom-beacon.mit.edu!newsxfer.itd.umich.edu!agate!howland.reston.ans.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!in1.uu.net!news.sandia.gov!tesuque.cs.sandia.gov!ferrari.mst6.lanl.gov!newshost.lanl.gov!usenet From: Jim Devenport <jdevenport@lanl.gov> Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc Subject: Re: Is there a baycom prog. for mac?

For new units Alincos are generally very competitive price wise. Yaesu, Icom, and Kenwood are all very close in features. I personally would suggest you consider a dual band unit including either 2 meters and 440 or 2 and 220 MHZ. You will find HUNDREDS of 2 meter repeaters that you can key up all over the country but few will produce responses as you give a call coming through town. 220 and 440 are even less populated but at least these bands have remote bases and phone patches much more so than 2 meters. These allow you to operate everything from base-station quality 2 meters as well as access to many other amateur bands of interest. Here in NM we have several such remotes that allow public access to HF SSB & FM (from your FM transceiver), 2 meter FM, 6 meter FM, as well as UHF linking to other wide area systems, as well as phone patches and other bells and whistles not normally found on 2 meters. Most are open systems, though you will usually have to track down a sysop to provide you will command lists etc. (2) Portability is up to you. An HT is easiest to carry in and out of the mobile setup but mobile radios can be set up with "quick disconnect" connections that allow ease of transfer between the office/home and car too. An HT is most portable and most easily set up in different situations (battery comes along right with the radio etc) but they are also most limited in power output and receive selectivity. If you live in one of the larger metropolitan areas with lots of commercial 2-way readio activity you will find mobiles have better filtering which will make your ham operations much more pleasant to your ears. Also many repeaters require more power from YOU than the typical HT can provide so often an external amplifier is needed. (3) SURE they make mobiles AND HT's for 6 meters. They may not be nearly so plentiful as 2 meter equipment but Azden, for one, makes very nice 6 meter HT's and mobiles and Icom and Kenwood both make 6 meter mobiles though no HT's so far as I know.. since the 6 meter market is much smaller (since Novice enhancement or addition of 10 meter SSB to Tech privileges-- before novice enhancement 6 meters was the lowest freq a Tech could operate on so it was much more occupied with Tech DX'ers) and it is STILL an interesting band to operate. It usually is quite deserted, however, unless and until the band opens up with "skip" when everybody comes out of the woodwork. If you have an active local 6 meter group and maybe a repeater 6 will be much more useful for you during the non-skip periods. Since there are so few mfr's "doing" 6 meters the "best" question is sorta moot. They are all comparative in quality & performance so far as I know (never owned a factory-built 6 meter unit, all mine were surplus conversions or homemade). -- *********** Jim Devenport WB5AOX ************** * PO Box 445, McIntosh NM 87032 * * http://nis-www.lanl.gov/~jdport/ * *********************************************** From Unknown Sun Dec 17 15:37:16 1995 Path: news.epix.net!usenet From: amsoft@epix.net Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.homebrew,rec.radio.amateur.equipment,rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc,rec.radio.amateur.antenna Subject: !!

Azden makes both a handheld and a mobile unit. As well as Kenwood and I think that ICom is comming out with one soon. You are not limited to the handheld as you might think. Lots of hams run mobiles in their cars during the day and bring them into the house to use them there as well. It is just a matter of setting up the cords so they can be disconnected quicky. You will find that there is MUCH more activity on 2 than 6. Ask around to the hams in the area to see if 6 is on the move. If so, then go for it and get on 6. If not the sure bet is 2.

The modem is NOT proprietary. The KAM uses a 3105 modem chip for the 1200 baud and SCAF filters for the HF/300 baud. It is true that the KAM won't do 9600, however. 9600 requires a different modem altogether, but the KAM handles HDLC in firmware and the processor doesn't have enough speed to do 9600. It's kinda like trying to run Windows 3.1 on an 8088 machine - just doesn't have the horsepower. You might look at the KPC-9612 - dual port with 1200 and 9600 baud simultaneous operation. -- 73, Karl Internet: medcalf@idir.net Packet: WK5M @ WK5M.#NEKS.KS.USA.NOAM ***** The views and opinions expressed here are mine and do not ***** ***** necessarily reflect those of my employer! ***** From Unknown Sun Dec 17 15:37:23 1995 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!info.ucla.edu!galaxy.ucr.edu!ihnp4.ucsd.edu!news1.ucsd.edu!news-mail-gateway From: grc@genesis.NET (G.R.

And it has the best RTTY performance of anything else I have ever used (KAM, PK232 etc.) and Amtor is fine but I dont use that mode much. But Pactor....Not so good. I have a serious problem with the system connecting great to another station and then no traffic passing. HAL has finally acknowledged that there is an obsure problem because the Pactor protocol is not sharply defined and each manufactorer does it differently. I wish I could be more positive, but the problem is so severe on my card that at first I assumed that there was a rig/computer problem. But that is unlikely because it works flawlessly on the other modes. And it interferes greatly with my enjoyment of Pactor.

KaGold is the leader in DOS software for good reason - it's good software. I should know, as a KaGold licensee dating from the first version. As long as a DOS application meets your needs, stick with it. I have no interest in evangelizing for Windows. But, if you have decided that Windows will be your platform, then KaWin is the only software that takes full advantage of both Windows and the Host Mode interface of the Kantronics Tncs. KaWin is not as full featured as KaGold - yet - but, it's catching up fast, with many new features added since the initial release in April.

Windows 95 handles multitasking very well, especially applications like PkGOLD and KaGOLD that do serial communications. Myth/Rumor control: If anyone tries to tell you that Winapps are better than DOS apps, remind them that it depends on what the programmer put into the Win app. PkGOLD and KaGOLD do more than ANY existing Winapp for AEA or Kantronics TNCs. As for KaGOLD and PkGOLD for Windows, we have a number of users (government, military, etc.) and hams who want the flexibility of using either DOS or Windows. This is not possible for a Winapp, but is clearly easy with PkGOLD and PkGOLD. No doubt there will be a Windows version in the future, but the number of features (scrollback, conference, file transfers, remote commands, callbook CD support...) is unlikely to grow significantly, if at all. If you want FEATURES, use PkGOLD or KaGOLD. If you want less features, and a Windows Only program, there are some out there, we've seen them. Have fun with your PkGOLD and KaGOLD -- they work perfectly in Windows 95, Windows 3.xx, and of course, OS/2, and DOS. 73 -- Jeff PS: See our Web Page http://www.interflex.com < --- ■ wcECHO 4.1 ≈ AR-Net: ATTENTION to Details ■ Mira Loma, CA ■ 909-681-6221 From Unknown Sun Dec 17 15:37:59 1995 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!in1.uu.net!news.deltanet.com!usenet From: jebrock@deltanet.com (Jerry Brock) Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc Subject: Re: KA-Gold Date: 17 Dec 1995 07:25:44 GMT Organization: Brock's Business Services Lines: 39 Message-ID: <4b0glo$mp4@news1.deltanet.com> References: <7837A83D@MHS> <30CD9731.2D5D@nexus.interealm.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: rvr0152.deltanet.com X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.92.6+ In article <30CD9731.2D5D@nexus.interealm.com>, "George J.

As for the updates, they have run from $10, $15, to the most expensive one we had on this last upgrade to version 9, which was $49.95 (1/2 the full price). I would be surprised about the total cost of upgrades exceeing the Kantronics cumulative cost, since I believe Kantronics gets about $30 on each ROM upgrade, and there have been several. The cost of software development isn't cheap, as you can imagine. If we could get Uncle Sam and the State of California to ease up on the cost of doing business, we could just give away software, hi hi.

Unfortunately, it is sufficiently different from the older ka9q that my script files don't work properly. I have two questions for this group: 1. What are the differences between the various dialects of ka9q? I'd prefer one that runs on 3/4/586 platforms to one compiled for 8086 as is the case with the JNOS I've seen at ftp.ucsd.edu. 2. Does anyone have an autoexec.nos file that will allow me to setup a TNOS box which derives its internet connection thru an ethernet card?

I've recently been experimenting with JNOS and MFNOS (MFNOS is a version based on JNOS that is becoming popular in New England, I don't know if it is widely distributed outside this area) as replacements for the 1991-vintage GRINOS I had been using for several years. Operationally they all seem similar, just different features. MFNOS is becoming popular here especially because it supports nntp news reading and posting, which is replacing list-mailing of public bulletins. It can be compiled for 386+, but this doesn't to provide any major advantages that I can see. Most of the problems I experienced in going from one NOS to another are little niggling things, various options to commands that don't work anymore or that have changed syntax. My general approach is to try to note all the error messages that appear on the screen during startup and delete or change commands in the autoexec.nos that cause problems. I haven't figured a way to route these messages to a file, which makes it annoying, I either have to copy them by hand or, what I usually do, run through the startup several times, and work backwards through the autoexec, changing the last things that caused messages to appear on my screen each time until I get a clean startup. Now, there is one thing that has changed in recent versions of JNOS and MFNOS that can throw you off. (I don't know about TNOS, I haven't used it yet). This is that all ax25 and tcp control settings must be located before the attach statements. I don't know why, I presume it has something to do with efficient operation. I have read some strong expressions of displeasure with this. : 2. Does anyone have an autoexec.nos file that will allow me to setup a : TNOS box which derives its internet connection thru an ethernet card? : I'm not an amateur radio enthusiast, I just want to test the domain name : server in TNOS for use in a project.

I have a : registered IP address for this machine, its gateway, and have info on : other name servers and time servers on the local network. I usually run NOS with an ethernet connection to my local network, as well as a 2 meter radio port. I use packet drivers, and they work well. I also use NCSA telnet with MS-DOS, so I have my autoexec.bat load the packet driver. At various points I have used NOS with WD-, NE, and 3C-type ethernet adapters and the Clarkson (now Crywnr) drivers, and all have worked OK. I have used NOS a lot for debugging network connections and software, I generally trust it to work and there are a lot of diagnostic tools built in, all sorts of possibilities to trace and look at status. One thing that doesn't seem to have caught up with all the NOS versions floating around is the documentation. I recommend highly Wade's NOSIntro book. One of its major strong points is the listing of many options for NOS commands. Many of them don't apply to all NOS versions, but it is a lot easier to test and eliminate commands that don't work than to imagine commands you have never heard of before. Some of the older documents are very helpful. Ackerman, AG9V wrote a "Getting Started with TCP/IP on Packet Radio" text in 1992, which I think I got on the net as INTRONOS.TXT. The NOS_1229.DOC file in the the GRINOS 911229 release is also very good. Much of the documentation for for JNOS and MFNOS is in the form of chronological lists (some oldest first, some latest first!) of changes from a base version. Everything is there, but it isn't easy to use as a reference. JNOS comes with a file CMDSHLPn.ZIP, (the current n is 5), which contains a lot of small files documenting all the JNOS commands. It is meant to be used with an on-line help system; I haven't used it that way, but I unpacked all the files and made hard copy of all of them, sorted in alphabetical order. The result is a half-inch thick manual that I keep in a loose-leaf binder near the terminal. Although I am using MFNOS it diverged recently enough from JNOS that these pages seem generally applicable. I'll send you a copy of my current autoexec.nos for MFNOS by e-mail. -- 73, Al N1AW -- Al Woodhull awoodhull@hamp.hampshire.edu n1aw@k1mea.#wma.ma.usa.na n1aw@ka1jy.ampr.org From Unknown Sun Dec 17 15:38:04 1995 Path: news.epix.net!uunet!in1.uu.net!nntp.coast.net!col.hp.com!jms From: jms@col.hp.com (Mike Stansberry) Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc Subject: Re: Kantronics TNC's Date: 13 Dec 1995 15:40:09 GMT Organization: HP Colorado Springs Division Lines: 14 Message-ID: <4ams4p$6b3@nonews.col.hp.com> References: <ROSLEWSKIRB96%CS26.16@cadetmail.usafa.af.mil> NNTP-Posting-Host: mssjms.col.hp.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] RUSSELL B.

Russ, Kantronics Tncs with a simple terminal program will do anything most other Tncs will do. The reason that you read so much about Host Mode programs for Kantronics Tncs is that these Tncs are capable of so much more than a simple Tnc when coupled with Host Mode software. Go ahead and get your feet wet with your terminal program, but don't be short-sighted and settle for a simple Tnc if you think you're going to save money that way. The digital modes are habit forming and you will quickly make use of the expanded capability of a more sophisticated Tnc.

I have used the stupid little terminal program in Windows to run and mostly reset all of my Kantronics boxes. A new one comes with a small minimal terminal program and there are a multitude of shareware and freeware offerings out there. The Kantronics boxes are nice small well made TNCs between satellites and my new node I have about 7 of them now.

While you may not want to purchase host mode software right away, you should look for a well-supported host mode as one of the TNC features: it does not add to the cost of the unit, but it does give you more options. The Kantronics units do have a host mode, and in my opinion offer the most bang for the buck. 73 -- Lynn *************************************************************** * Lynn W.

The Kantronics TNC will work just fine with any run of the mill terminal software (Procomm, QModem, etc.). The exception to the rule is the KAM+ multimode TNC. It will work with simple terminal software,....to a point! You will be able to use the KAM+ in either VHF/UHF Packet OR HF modes,... not both at the same time. In order to be able to perform both operations at the same time (ie monitor the local VHF packet DX Cluster on one port while working RTTY on the HF port), you will need a program that supports Kantronics "HOST" mode protocol. There are a few around (both commercial and shareware), but don't be led into believing that a simple terminal or communications program can be used to operate both modes at the same time. 73's & GUD DX Opinions expressed herein are my own and may not represent those of 3M.

About the baycom modem, it works great up to 1200 bauds and the price is very affordable.

There is no such thing as a "bulletin ... like a broadcast" in packet radio. Sure would be nice if folks would actually READ part 97, including the specific rulings and clarification from the FCC before they babble on about this issue. It was settled long ago by the FCC. ALLUSA is not illegal. AGAPE is not illegal. Selling your car via a bulletin is not illegal. Talking about the weather is not illegal. Talking politics is not illegal. None of the above are "broadcasting." "Broadcasting" is defined in part 97. Read it. ... Hank -- Hank Oredson @ Mentor Graphics Library Operations Internet : hank_oredson@mentorg.com "Parts 'R Us!"

The 6402 is also suitable. This may be pin compatible with the AY-1013, and is definitely still available. You can choose parity/stop bits etc by hard wiring various pins high or low, and it will run up to 100Kbps. This version needs a clock input, but there's also a 6403 which has a clock generator built-in so you can just add a Xtal.

The 6402 is a UART, I just pointed out another option that might save a few chips. Please note that most UARTs would require a processor both for setup and for data transfer. The 6402 and a few others don't, all setups are done by tying pins high or low and there are separate 8-bit parallel buses for transmit and receive. /Henrik -- _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ Ericsson Microwave Systems AB _/ _/ Henrik Johnsson emwhkj@emw.ericsson.se _/ _/ tel +46 31 671898, fax +46 31 673833 _/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ From Unknown Sun Dec 17 15:38:40 1995 Newsgroups: de.comm.ham,rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc,rec.radio.amateur.homebrew,rec.radio.amateur.misc,sci.electronics Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!chaos.aoc.nrao.edu!newshost.nmt.edu!baervan.nmt.edu!tesuque.cs.sandia.gov!ferrari.mst6.lanl.gov!nntp-server.caltech.edu!vixen.cso.uiuc.edu!howland.reston.ans.net!ix.netcom.com!netcom.com!mzenier From: mzenier@netcom.com (Mark Zenier) Subject: Re: Serial-to-Parallel Converter Message-ID: <mzenierDJn3qD.Asp@netcom.com> Followup-To: de.comm.ham,rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc,rec.radio.amateur.homebrew,rec.radio.amateur.misc,sci.electronics Organization: NETCOM On-line Communication Services (408 261-4700 guest) References: <4a383p$a74$1@mhadg.production.compuserve.com> <1995Dec6.103431@atl.com> <flipk.818880447@soclab.soc.iastate.edu> Date: Thu, 14 Dec 1995 19:37:35 GMT Lines: 9 Sender: mzenier@netcom8.netcom.com Xref: news.epix.net de.comm.ham:2552 rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc:13134 rec.radio.amateur.homebrew:12154 rec.radio.amateur.misc:95614 sci.electronics:162511 in <flipk.818880447@soclab.soc.iastate.edu>, Phil Knaack wrote: : Just two years ago I replaced the 1013 in my Radio Shack TRS-80 Model III.

Some >popular discussion of SS are making statements that are not well >founded and difficult to believe. The signal you are trying to receive (such as a Frequency Hopped one - FH) would be as strongly above the noise as any spectral line. But it is hopped in frequency at such a rate that normal receivers will not process it (squelch won't open, IF won't track). For Direct Sequence (DS), the required bandwidth is the initial parameter. If your system requires 100 MHz bandwidth, then it will probably be very spread out, with spectral lines falling below the noise. Normal bandwidths of 1 MHz or less will be well above the noise floor. In this case the voice bandwidth is only about 3 kHz, and it is spread to a much wider bandwidth to reduce the spectral lines. I guess the best use would be to have several channels of voice, all input into the SS radio. Hmm, is FDM/SS legal?? >I have also heard that SS radio is more able to penetrate obstacles >like concrete walls etc. This was in an article about indoor wireless >LANs. If this is a fact, what are the actual reasons for this? It was probably refering to multipath. A conventional modulated radio at very high bandwidth will start to have its pulses arriving at different times due to propagation. The mixing of course causes errors. The SS radios are less affected by this. The only reason a radio transmission would go through concrete better, is if it is higher in frequency than commonly used. SS radios are usually 2 to 5 GHz, while the older radios were 900 MHz.

Some > popular discussion of SS are making statements that are not well > founded and difficult to believe. Part of the problem is a difference in terminology between narrow-band and wide-band. If I take a band 100 MHz wide and break it up into 1000 narrow bands, then I will measure 'signal-to-noise' for a signal only with respect to the particular 100 Khz channel. If I take the same 100 MHz band and allocate 1000 SS users to it, then I will be measuring each user's signal with respect to the noise on the _whole 100 MHz band_. My 'signal-to-noise' ratio now appears to be 1000 times worse, because I'm measuring it against the noise in a 100 MHz band instead the noise in a 100 KHz band. The best way to think about spread spectrum is to generalize the notion of what a 'carrier' is. In traditional radio, a 'carrier' is a continuous wave of a single frequency that is modulated with your information signal. In SS radio, the 'carrier' is a much more complex waveform that has a wide bandwidth. But the amazing thing is that with the exception of the parts of the radio that generates the carrier and synchronizes it, the basic blocks of the radio still do the same things and in essentially the same way! The receiver generates the 'same' carrier, which is mixed & downconverted as usual. The wideband modulation gets put back together into a narrow baseband, _and the same process takes narrow-band noise and spreads it out_. Actually any noise uncorrelated with the carrier is spread out, including other information-bearing signals. > I have also heard that SS radio is more able to penetrate obstacles > like concrete walls etc. This was in an article about indoor wireless > LANs. If this is a fact, what are the actual reasons for this? You may be referring to the fact that SS has 'frequency diversity', and hence fading of any particular frequency won't hurt the signal as much.

Read the German manual :-) It is explained how to use TFPCX in KISS mode (you have to run the parameter icone and change the COM number, but I don't remember more). I used to run WinGT on a KISS link : it worked perfectly well. To conclude, if you need a real KISS program, what about using XPR4WIN developped in Austria ?

The TNC's are great. The only problems that I have are finding raios that are really 9600 Baud ready. Alignment of whatever radio you choose is important. We resorted to buying AEA's Deviation meter to align our Kantronic TNC and radios. It was well worth the cost. We are running ALINCO 1200TH2's, a YAESU 736, 2500's and ICOM 281's here in Minnesota. I was also suprised to see how well the new little rockbound MFJ transceiver will do. If you experience intermod just use a cavity filter in front of the MFJ. Path is critical for 9600 so be prepared to put better antennas higher and running a bit more power for long links. Hope this helps 73 John John Douglas, N0ISL AX.25 N0ISL@KZ7I.#MSP.MN.USA.NOAM I'm in Minnesota only because I must be somewhere!

I've used a 9612 for over a year without a single problem. I am using a Motorola MVP for the VHF radio (1200) and a Yaesu FT5100 on the 9600 side. We don't have much 9600 here, but what there is seems to work fine.

I would like to : know your opinion about it, particulary on the following points : : -Is it a true G3RUH on the 9600 bds port ? No. When I switched to the KPC9612 from a true G3RUH I did notice that some of the weaker stations could no longer be received. This was confirmed by others in our area that made the switch. It works well with our 9600 bps node which is a true G3RUH. You might be asking why we switched. The price is reasonable, we replace two TNC's (9600 & 1200) with one, both ports share the same mailbox, the user firmware is a grade above the the others, the schematics are readable, and the documentation is good. We are using the other G3RUH TNC's for nodes. If any new person wants a 9600 bps TNC, I recommend the KPC 9612 over the others. We use them with the TEKK data radio's.

If I put a 9600bps TNC on the node, will it still automatically accept connections at 1200bps? That is, do high speed TNCs behave like telephone modems and auto-detect and adjust to incoming signals.

The auto-speed selection is an advanced function of phone modems, and that hasn't made its way into packet modems. Yet. Matter of fact, your 9k6 station won't even be able to hear the 1k2 signals, and mixing speeds on a radio channel results in huge problems, as the 9k6 transmitters are constantly transmitting simultaneously with the 1k2 transmitters, and vice versa - a bad case of hidden transmitter syndrome, and no data flows. Even worse, your 9k6 modem cannot be made to ever decode 'normal' 1k2 signals. You'd have to switch back to your old modem. But, once you find another channel to put the 9k6 access, believe me it is very much worth the effort. However, before you buy ANYTHING, do some research to learn exactly what will and will not work, so you don't waste your money on a really nice radio, that just can't be used for 9k6. 73 & GL, Don N2IRZ From Unknown Thu Dec 21 20:26:49 1995 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!tank.news.pipex.net!pipex!usenet.eel.ufl.edu!cobia.gulf.net!willis.cis.uab.edu!nntp.msstate.edu!cssun.mathcs.emory.edu!swrinde!howland.reston.ans.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!EU.net!peer-news.britain.eu.net!sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk!nntp0.brunel.ac.uk!not-for-mail From: ee95ajm@brunel.ac.uk (Andrew John Murrell) Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc Subject: Re: 9600pbs TNCs Date: 20 Dec 1995 14:02:40 -0000 Organization: Brunel University, Uxbridge, UK Lines: 35 Message-ID: <4b9520$163@tcws-15.brunel.ac.uk> References: <4b8sd7$5fm@sparky.midwest.net> <NEWTNews.27002.819355107.Rotolo@ppp06907.mercedes-benz.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: tcws-15.brunel.ac.uk X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Don Rotolo (rotolo@mercedes-benz.com) wrote: : In article <4b8sd7$5fm@sparky.midwest.net>, <gayle@ldd.net> writes: : > If I put a 9600bps TNC on the node, will it still automatically accept : > connections at 1200bps?

I further think it will work on one radio, if that radio has both data sources (ie; 1200 bps pin out, and 9600 bps pin out), however, the signals cant be 'shared', except to allow the 'gate' feature in the 9612.

I keep trying to link two FBB machines via the telephone modems. Actual configuration is as follows: 1st system: PC286 + FBB5.15 + TNC (VHF) + 2400 non-MNP modem (internal) 2nd system: PC XT + FBB5.14a + TNC (HF) + 2400 MNP modem (internal) On the radio side, both systems work ok, depending on propagation etc. But, a telephone link in between is not ok. Symptoms are as follows: 1st system (supposed be the one that only answers to the phone calls from the other side): in a very rare situations a connection to this system results in nice link i.e. its modem says: CONNECT 2400 REL/5 ; but in most cases it says only CONNECT 2400 and a lot of garbage is on the screen... and it's not the worst thing, because after the closing the link (hang-up, ATH, from the other side) it is no more possible to establish the new call with this system. The line is always BUSY because its modem did NOT go on-hook (off-line). Although there's no problem on the radio side, a reset of the BBS must be done in order to try calling again. And, in a case of forward-call from the other side, after the connection nothing happens. From the console, the outgoing calls have been done and, if CONNECT 2400 REL/5, everything is ok. Init string: ATZS0=5 2nd system (supposed be the one that initialize either manual call from the console or for forward): in a nice situation, his modem says: CONNECT 2400 MNP5; but (!) only if it is manual call from the other software (Comit etc.) you are connected as regular user to the 1st system. Everything goes fine untill the phone link is broken due to external reasons, I don't care about. But, after the repeated call I usualy get BUSY from the 1st machine (as above). In the case of the forward action, if successful link, after the CONNECT 2400 MNP5, the 1st systems doesn't ask for call and password and nothing happens, the line stays opened so long till manualy hang-up. From the console, outgoing calls have been done and, if CONNECT 2400 MNP5, everything is ok. The worst thing: after the 2-3 remote phone line rings (ATS0=5 because the 1st is in the office), the 2nd modem starts sending its carrier BEFORE getting the carier from the called station and then the result is bad link and disconnection etc.. Init string at 2nd: ATZS0=0 ...more details: on the 1st system (FBB5.15) I tried several versions of FBBIOS.COM (1.30 1.34 1.44) and all of them seem to behave the same way. On the 2nd system (FBB5.14a) I've tried all of them instead of the 1.21 ("original" version from the package) and it seemed the 1.21 behaves a little bit reliable than the others. FBB's manual says "a protocol correction like MNP must be used" so, I suppose the both sides should (must?) have some kind of error-free. Next, I tried to change the speeds in PORT.SYS (from 300 to 2400) with no success. I carefuly checked IRQ's (on the both sides TNC's are on COM1 IRQ4, modems are configured as COM4 IRQ3). I recognized a BUG in APPEL.BAT because if you describe a string: FBBIOS <port> A <- (A) auto baud detect there is much more garbage on the screen than without 'A'. My question are: 1. What the "REL/5" stands for? Is it a kind of error-free connection? 2. What are your experience with different FBBIOS.COM versions? 3. What do you advise me to try next? Pse, don't tell me to buy better equipment. I'd already run Pentiums if I could afford that! 73 de Misko, YT7MPB@HA3TK.HUN.EU skoric@uns.ns.ac.yu SRV amateur union (info mngr) Trg Mladenaca 10 Novi Sad Yugoslavia From Unknown Thu Dec 21 20:27:02 1995 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!news.tcd.net!news From: donb29@tcd.net (Don Breazile) Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc Subject: filter info 850 fsk????

I have two of the PCI4000ms and I was having nothing but problems with links going into ERROR state. After I made the change to the CS delay the recovery time for for link errors is very fast.

I would like to run tcpip across the link. First, I am trying to figure out how I can manage the tcpip packets across multiple ports. I know that jnos40 can be installed in the firmware of a data engine for two ports. However, I am looking at running at least three ports at various baud rates. Can multiple tncs be stacked together like in a netrom node stack with using firmware that can handle tcpip? If not, are there any other options that can help me with this situation? My second question is how high of a baud rate can be used over a fairly long haul? I am looking at hopefully putting up the nodes on two commercial tv towers that are approximately 90 miles apart by air. I believe that 56k (or is it 57.6k?) can be ran over 220 or 440 MHz. I would think that given the sites mentioned above, a direct link might be accomplished with directional antennas. Can anyone out there with experience or knowledge about 56k tell me if that is realistic or not? Also, does anyone know if higher baud rates than 56k can be achieved without having very short hops. I am primarily curious about spread spectrum links. I have heard of these types of links, and I believe you can achieve 2 megabytes per second at least over them. However, I believe they can not handle paths over several miles. Can anyone tell me how long of a path can be achieved ideally for these speeds? I would appreciate it if you could reply via email because I believe that my news feed misses some of the articles some times. TNX & 73 -- Eric L.

To say "catching up" is a form of "vaporware" promises. When it catches up, we'll see where KaGOLD is at that time. Second, regardless of the platform (DOS, Windows, Unix, etc.) a program can only do what it is programmed to do. It seems that some users have said "No DOS program can do what a Windows program can do" (I read that a few months back) but unfortunately, this is not the reality. The fact that a program uses the Windows interface does not automatically endow it with features. As for KaGOLD, it is "multitasking aware" and as a result, runs fine in Windows 3.xx, 95, OS/2, Windows NT, and DOS, on systems from 8088 to pentium plus. While windows would offer object embedding, dynamic linking, etc., these features are less important to a communications program than they are to applications like word processing or graphics. Also, Windows 95, Windows NT, and OS/2 run DOS apps even better than Windows 3.1. In some cases, even faster than native DOS. Regardless of what program a user selects, less featured Winapp, more featured DOS app, it should be clear to everyone that running DOS apps in Windows does work, and work VERY well. In Windows 95, all that is required is to find the EXE file using the explorer, and drag it to the desktop. With a few changes to the program properties (right click on the icon) the program is a mouse click away.

Hello there... I am not using the L2PCX driver with this very simple 3-IC-modem regulary, but have used it already for some time. Well... this are my experiences with it: - It really does work! Quite amazing what you Chris OE5DXL did there, with a good piece of software, and just a 3-IC-modem (two simple TTL-IC, and one Op-Amp). - On some computers it can be tricky to get running. One problem are some incompatibilities at the seriell interface. It operates at 38400 bauds (1 start, 1 stop, 6 data), with two AX25 bits/transfered byte, making 9600 bits/second. Some seriell controller chips have some internal delays at this rate, resulting in a lower speed (abt 9500 baud) and thus it will hardly work on a 9600 baud node. - Resulting from above 38400 bauds on RS232, it needs 4800 Interrupts per second, which is quite much (The TFPCX driver for the 1200 baud Baycom Modem needs 3600 for RX and 1200 for TX.) Of course you can't use it with M$ Windows, or OS/2, or similar multitasking operating systems. But still under DOS there can be some problems. On some BIOSes, the Interrupts are locked during accesses to the Hard disk, so in this case you can't RX or TX while during this time (BAD!). Some EMM-drivers can lock interrupts, etc. Best thing is to take everything what you can do without out of your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT. And use the oldest DOS-Version you can get, the older ones don't lock interrupts as much as the newer ones. - It does consume quite some computational time, especially if you use it with G3RUH-scrambling (you can do without on a point2point link, especially if you have good DC-modulated transmitters, but of course you need it accessing a node operating with a G3RUH-compatible modem...) It consumes about 8MHz Landmark speed, so it WILL NOT run an old 8088-XT, and it will make a 286-AT considerably slower. No problems of course on >= 386. - In comparison with an 9600baud-TNC, it will TX nearly equally. If the RX signal strenght is good, the decoding performance will also be almost the same. If the signal gets such low, that the TNC gets some problems in decoding frames (maybe less then one out of two...), the TFPCX will hardly decode one any more, I think because of a problem with syncronisation to the RX clock. That's not what a good 9k6 connection should be like, but if you have to fight against week or QRM'd signales, you better use a TNC. Ok. Thats all what I can think of in the moment, concerning the L2PCX driver. Concluding I should say that is quite useable, performing just slightly worse than a real TNC, at least on most computers...

Use the standard 10% charge rate but put it on a timer. Charge for 1-2 hours every 24 hour period. This allows you to use the common chargers that come with the equipment and appears compatible with long life. Just buy a $6 timer at Walmart. In some cases, this also seems to help cells with higher self discharge rates than nominal (it's called getting old). gerry.g WA1WIG From Unknown Thu Dec 21 20:27:42 1995 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!news.heurikon.com!uwvax!uchinews!vixen.cso.uiuc.edu!howland.reston.ans.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!in2.uu.net!EU.net!Belgium.EU.net!ping.be!news From: Neal Campbell <Neal.Campbell@ping.be> Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc Subject: Pactor 2 Specifications Date: 20 Dec 1995 18:03:07 GMT Organization: PING Belgium Lines: 9 Message-ID: <4b9j4r$jku@ping1.ping.be> NNTP-Posting-Host: dialup11.brussels2.eunet.be Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 1.1N (Macintosh; I; 68K) X-URL: news:rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc Does anyone know of an internet-accessible source for Pactor 2 specifications?

The audio output of the TNC is too high and overloads the microphone amplifier circuit. What you do it fix it is add a 10 db attenuator to the PKD line on the IF unit (X48-3080-XX). Change chip resistor R258 from 2.2K to 1K (RK73FB2A102J) Change chip resistor R260 from 220 to 330 ohms (RK73FB2A331J) They also suggest that the TNC and radio have separate power supplies.

One solution - Which worked for me until I changed from the Kenwood desk mike to the Heil headset is as follows: Add an extra ground wire from the PK232 to the rig by: The right rear leg pad of the 232 (looking from the front and the TNC is right side up) is screwed into the base of the TNC. This screw is grounded. Add a wire there by unscrewing the leg a bit, and then route the wire to the ground lug at the back of the rig. This often works (if you are using the proper grounds in the ACC plug at the back of the rig). Note - that in my case (TS690s) and others (850s) it worked and with others it did not. When I changed to the Heil mike/headset I went back to having distorted SSB. The same setup worked with the 2232, until the Heil set, so since I now use the 2232 for satellite and HF work, I eventually solved the problem by putting a switch box on PORT 1 so I could switch between rigs. Thus when I work HF on SSB I just switch to the V or U HF rig and take the 690s offline, If you want additional details as to connections ( some grounds in the acc port are direct grounds and others have a capacitor inline) let me know.

I've read that around 3 KHz is optimum, but is that 3 KHz on the low tone or the high tone? On most radios I've worked with, the pre-emphasis circuitry will cause the high tone to be about 1 KHz higher in deviation than the low tone. So a radio set for 3 KHz on the low would be 4 KHz on the high. I've always compromised and centered the deviation around 3 KHz, with the low tone being lower and the high tone higher than 3 KHz.

I used to have a PC/FlexNet driver written by Tom, HB9JNX, on my HD, but since PC/FlexNet version recently changed , I still haven't got the update and the old driver doesn't work anymore. This driver uses a mere Sound Blaster within the PC/FlexNet system (486 needed, according to the DOC file :-) ).

I don't know what kind of modem is in the 9612, but it is very clear that on "9600 baud ready" radios (which really aren't) the bit error rate is better when using a real G3RUH modem than it is with an AEA PK-96 (which uses some modified K9NG modem). The G3RUH modem results in less intersymbol interference, and combined with the bad low-frequency response of some radios it apparently has a positive effect on the results...

We have a whole slew of 9612s and a whole slew of MFJs. We have had a great deal of trouble with the MFJs. The 9612s work fine. Plug 'em in, they run. We just recently replaced some MFJs with 9612s at one site, just to avoid the continuing problems with the MFJs. Much cleaner eye patterns with the 9612 demod, whether the transmitter uses MFJ or 9612 ... However, we have many links which use the MFJs and have never shown any problems. These have been short haul links with very solid signals. 9612s have worked better on our longer / marginal links ... probably because of the cleaner demod. Do you have some adverse experience with the 9612s you can share? Or is it just a matter of brand name bigotry involved? ...

If they "cut you off", which is, in other words, interfering with your transmission, aren't they violating FCC regulations in doing so? Let's move the analogy to voice. Let's say that everyone that *I* talk to that used an HTX-202 had what I considered excess noise on their signal, and I refused to talk to them, and if I heard someone on that I knew used an HTX-202 and I keyed over their signal, or cut them off at the autopatch, someone would be sic'ing the FCC on me. If I tried to tell someone that they could only use certain brands of radios to talk, I think the ACLU would be volunteering to take my case. How can they get away with this kind of behavior? Any enlightenment on the issue would be appreciated.

From what little I know ... he is not the same fellow who wrote the previous versions ... in fact he has written at least two other amateur radio - related software applications (both of which, I use). And .... I am very pleased with these other applications. I don't care for the A.E.A. machines myself, but am almost considering one now because I know about the quality of this fellow's work. BTW, he lurks around these Usenet newsgroups and may make himself known. As I recall, he was at Dayton this past year in the AEA booth to demo the new software.

I have a US Robotics 14400 hooked up in this faishon, and all I have to do is call home from anywhere...and Im on packet from my home station. Works great, and beats cary around a packet station with my laptop (which has a built in modem :)). Also can take full advantage of my high power, high profile home station. I have also installed an A/B switch, so I can easily switch from my computers serial port, to the modem. Hope this helps, let me know if you need further info. Happy holidays, & 73.

Circuit checks visually, all checks recommended in the docs except one are OK. That is, on output, can't get more than abt 1 volt to serial port input. Using the dual 9v battery scheme in the docs gives abt 2 volts. Even tried hooking up to a 12 volt bipolar supply but still only get 2 volts, apparently not enough to decode properly. Every now and then 3 or 4 words show up decoded, but even this is very rare. The spectrum display shows properly-tuned, high level tones. Tried 3 different 741's, same results.

Also while your are at it stab the - 5 volt supply with a scope probe to see if the -5 volts is noise free, if not also change out those caps. All should then be fine again.

By using MSYS I have a full blown BBS (K-Node, Net-Node, TCP/IP, etc.) which can interface with the real BBS at home. As a user I normally use MTERM which is a little terminal that come with MSYS. Works great. I would suggest checking the FRACK, DWAIT and the various other timing values and see if you have those set far from the factory values. A hard reset that restores those values would be in order. Did you try checking the PTT out of the TNC with an ohm meter? Is it keying? I think it supports the key down tone test that you could set up. I believe that is documented in the manual. See if it keys when you do that test. -- 73, Steve Internet : no8m@hamnet.org Amateur Radio : no8m@no8m.#neoh.oh.usa.na MSYS Mail List: msys-request@hamnet.org ('info' for title) From Unknown Wed Dec 27 18:22:01 1995 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!holonet!colossus.holonet.net!woodybbs!1-275-17-0!rob.locke From: ROB.LOCKE@f17.n275.z1.fidonet.org (ROB LOCKE) Date: 21 Dec 95 01:22:00 Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc Subject: Re: Packet Mail to ALLUS is illegal Message-ID: <d65_9512221711@woodybbs.com> X-FTN-To: S.

Not sure about south of the border but here in Canada we can transmitt binary files on all bands as long as the basic rules are followed ( bandwidth and ID rules followed and as long as the data can be readily identified/run - ie not encrypted). In the US, I believe you can not do the same on many of the HF bands. As a result - even though Pactor can transmit 8 bit data - I have yet to find a programme that will permit one to do so . This includes DSPgold, PKgold etc. Amtor is not an 8 bit protocol - so it would not work with that one. Sure wish someone would do a programme that could be distributed outside of the US :-) that could do as you suggest! Season's Greatings!

No, but you can cut noise level down by shielding it. Take a look at the "key" part of your keyboard. It's one big antenna. My keyboard has a microcontroller with a 5 MHz crystal, and it gave big signals every 5 MHz. You could pick it up S9+ at 145 MHz on an HT across the room. Note that packet stuff is around this frequency. I disassembled the keyboard, applied adhesive aluminum tape under the keys, made an envelope for the microcontroller board out of hobby copper, and added bypass caps and ferrite beads. It took a while, but worked. 73..Jim N2VNO > >Thanks. > >Jim Rybak W0KSD From Unknown Wed Dec 27 18:22:12 1995 Path: news.epix.net!uunet!in1.uu.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!uwm.edu!fnnews.fnal.gov!gw1.att.com!csn!mesa5.mesa.colorado.edu!mesa5.mesa.colorado.edu!not-for-mail From: jrybak@mesa5.Mesa.Colorado.EDU (James P.

Your node, mailbox, BBS, station, ect. can be set not to accept certain callsigns. You store the 'list' of calls either in the operating firmware of the TNC, or the controlling software. This doesnt stop and/or interfere with that station, just doesnt let that person from useing your equipment. The only call I keep in my list is "NOCALL". This is the default 'callsign' of a TNC when its powered up, and the user doesnt put his call in. Other than purposful and malicious illegal transmissions, I would try to work the problem out with the station, rather than 'lock' them out.

To which I reply: Why not spend $7.95 for a TCM3105 chip and $1.95 for the crystal for it and do the job right? Too stupid to build your own? In answer to Roman's question: You will probably have to set the 202 modem up for leased-line 'dry-circuit' use to force it NOT to look for any holding or sealing currents. You will also probably have to set it for short carrier detect time, even though most hams run far too long a TXD. Impedence matching should not be a problem as long as the receiver you are using has sufficient output level to achieve the levels needed by the modem - typically -10 dBm. Most of those modems were designed to exhibit 600 to 900 ohm impedence and that will bridge a loudspeaker output. Keep in mind that the store-bought-packet-box boys are running synchronous HDLC (even though they mostly don't know it) so you'll need to do some cleverness at the USART level - a standard PC-style serial port won't work.

Black and white with NO resolution. Check out you disk that came with the tnc. In the 1278 the command is something like mode fax NNNN where NNN is the type of fax. I don't have my manual here(at work)but I will look up the exact command and what program I had to use. A much better approach is to download JVFAX 7.0 from either the ARRL, Amsat, of(I think) the oakland ftp sites. It is near freeware, Works GREAT and uses a simple uA741 powered by, and "talking" to a Asynch/comm port. Costs less than $5.oo us if you buy everything new. It is really the best way to go. Hamcom is another good(though not as gooda as JVFAX in my opinion). If you have a "real" or 100% compatable Sound blaster, you could try WXMAN2. It does a good job just by feeding the sb card with audio. 8080KHz is the best place to start. Nam is on every night as of a couple of weeks ago. I guess they will keep on the air even if the Feds can't get their budget togather. None of the above programs can receive NOAA wx sat fax with out some work. JVFAX has a diagram for a WX sat am to fm fax converter. It uses an exar 2201?(check out the diagram), and while it is best to build a "real" am fax demod, you can get impressive results by feeding the output of the exar to any of the above programs. Good luck Email me if you have any questions, I won't be back on unitl jan 2, 1996. (unless I end up in here for something else) WEFAX is great fun, do not get discouraged by any intitial hassels. Hang in there. It will be worth it.

Check out JVFAX 7.0. for a few bucks you can build a much better fax/sstv unit. The rx uses a simple uA741 driving a comm port. The tx uses a couple of resistors and a cap. This setup simply blows the MFJ out of the wqater. I have a 1278 that I use for RTTY/AMTOR/ and ASCII(real common). The MFJ just does not have the resolution to be usefull. While I think the 1278B supports "grey scale" it will still not do that good a job. I have never seen any software(other than MFJ "mutlicom"?[it has been a few years since I have used it] that will operate in fax mode. Good luck what ever route you go\ jvfax is at the arrl and amsat ftp site. It might be at the oakland ftp site as well. Hamcom30 is another good program, but I prefer jvfax 7.0.

Thanks David- I've heard that the US regs doesn't allow Binary, but certainly haven't confir med that - it sounds strange to me why they wouldn't, as there's already binary-type data that's not protocol related out there now - at least in the AX.25 HF packet world.

I seem to recall seeing on either the philips or the magnavox home page some mention of a single-chip amfm car radio. I've also heard mentioned a motorola chip that is a single-chip baby monitor.

Before you reply, please read on.... What I am talking about here is the use of PGP Signed Clear Text messages. That is, the text of the message is readable by anyone who looks at it. The PGP Signature simply allows people to confirm: (1) That you _really_ sent the message, and (2) That the message content has not been changed since you sent it. After discussions with several communications lawyers, I can see that this in no way violates the Part 97 restriction on 'codes and cyphers' since the intent is not to obscure the meaning of the message. What this does is a sort of double edged sword: No one could pretend to be you and send a message that the FCC might take exception to, but at the same time, you would have a VERY hard time getting out of hot water if you really did send such a message! Anyway, I would appreciate your thoughts.

Among them is "$34 Optional Ham Interface to STREETS-ON-DISK and DeLorme, etc." As I currently own and am very impressed with DeLorme Mapping Co. Street Atlas USA version 3.0 (and 2.0 before that,) this made me very curious. After scouring the copious documentation provided with APRS, the only references to ANY C-D's are those produced by The United States Geological Survey. These files describe how to make maps from the USGS discs. There is NO MENTION that I can find anywhere in the APRS docs of these other products. It was my first impression that the DeLorme disc could be used directly, with APRS superimposing its data on the C-D maps, but that can't be ... the map's a Windows-based product. Then I figured Mr. Bruninga made the option available so we could, as with the USGS C-D's, MAKE maps for use with APRS. Or maybe I'm wrong on both counts and it's something else entirely! If you have any experience with APRS & either the STREETS-ON-DISK or DeLorme Street Atlas USA products, please E-mail or packet a response back to me at the address below.

The WA8DED firmware (as well as TheFirmware, which has several enhancements) can operate without using the host mode, but the commands are quite different than those used by other TNC firmware. It might be possible, however, depending on how Tim has implimented UltraPak. If you really want to use UltraPak, why not just change to a standard TAPR firmware eprom? It is even possible to have both with bank switching (there is a TNC made in Germany which does this). 73, Bob Nielsen, W6SWE From Unknown Mon Jan 01 01:05:20 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!tank.news.pipex.net!pipex!demon!mail2news.demon.co.uk!lfheller.demon.co.uk From: Leon Heller <Leon@lfheller.demon.co.uk> Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc Subject: Re: Sound Blaster 16 used as a DSP unit Date: Thu, 28 Dec 95 11:24:51 GMT Organization: Home Lines: 25 Message-ID: <820149891snz@lfheller.demon.co.uk> References: <4bs8j7$bra@grovel.iafrica.com> Reply-To: Leon@lfheller.demon.co.uk X-NNTP-Posting-Host: lfheller.demon.co.uk X-Newsreader: Demon Internet Simple News v1.29 X-Mail2News-Path: lfheller.demon.co.uk In article <4bs8j7$bra@grovel.iafrica.com> seanmcd@iaccess.za "Sean McDonald" writes: > Hi.

In the comp.dsp group someone asked about the DSP core used in an ASIC on the SB 16 ASP a few days ago. It is apparently an SGS-Thomson ST19850 DSP (the D950 core). Accessing it with one's own software probably requires getting the info from Creative, which could be difficult. You might find things easier with one of the PSA sound cards, which have a user-programmable DSP, and PD development tools.

However, please note that the content of the message is sometimes changed by the BBS forwarding itself :-( Modern products like F6FBB BBS don't do that, as they are using a CRC over the entire (compressed) message to guard against corruption. However, there are still BBSes around that use older software and TNC's in hostmode. In that environment, there is no guard agains errors on the RS232 link between the TNC and the BBS system, and overruns commonly occur on the PC. Also, there is a chance of packets being corrupted by multiple bit errors but still showing a correct CRC. The omission of a CRC over the entire message makes these go undetected. I don't know how many BBSes in the US still run pre-FBB software, but here in Europe it is a problem mainly in Germany. When large 7plus files are downloaded and result in .ERR files while decoding, the error was almost always introduced by a german "DieBOX" system... I guess it is a reason why 7plus was finally invented to replace uuencode etc, but it would have been better to improve the forwarding quality. So, when you use PGP it may give false alarms about authenticity, depending on the route the message took. It may be a good idea to have that fixed first.

I noticed a meesage in my local packet BBS. that a new version of ULTRAPAK was released. Well, I downloaded it from a FTP site, and tried it out. It's GREAT stuff, but it doesn't work with my modem as use a WA8DED eprom in it. I wrote a message to the author of the program: > I have dowloaded your ULTRAPAK program from the internet. > What a GREAT program, compliments for this great archievement. > > I am using it but I have only one problem: > > It seems that it doesn't support the WA8DED eprom in my TNC-2. > > Is there any way of making it talk to a TNC fitted with a WA8DED eprom?? Thanks for your comments! I don't have much knowledge of the WA8DED interface, but I think it's a host mode type of thing isn't it? Unfortunately , UltraPak is purely a terminal mode program and hence I think it's going to be impossible to marry the two together. I'm sorry that this is a negative response, but I can't see a way around it. I believe the DED software requires the TNC to be polled for data doesn't it, and of course UltraPak doesn't support this protocol. I hope this at least helps. 73, Tim. G4WFT -- UltraPak Support upak@cirrus.demon.co.uk Is there anyone who can give an advice to Tim (upak@cirrus.demon.co.uk) on how to make his program WA8DED compatible?? Thanks.

I have implemented Roger Barkers WIN PGP server for winpack. It has a couple of BUGS in it but other wise works great. I use it without exception. We had a WHOLE spate of people pirating callsigns, sending some rather nasty messages. I started the ball rolling by installing PGP and preaching to the masses, how wonderful PGP is. Unfortunatley the SLACK AMATEURS don't give a stuff about it one bit. They whinge and bitch that their callsigns are being pirated but they won't implement a "practical sollution"". The messages are still in clear text (no ascii armour) and it just has a sig on the bottom. Rogers server checks both incomming private messages and bulls. It works ABSOLUTELY seamlessley with winpack and makes the whole thing worthwhile !! I get STUPID questions from people "Will it run on my C64/128 or how do I use it on my dumb terminal". Basically it won't TOUGH !!!! RTFM !!!! It all gets too hard and they give up, oh "sigh"..... Anyway, I think it is absolutely GREAT and wouldn't send out an unsigned message, NO WAY !. Have a look at winpack and the PGP server, it's great !!

Quote: All mods are to the main board, easily accessible on the top of the set. The modification consists of replacing C42 and C43 with 1uF. Also replacing C40 (1uF) with 0.47uF. This effectivly shortens the T-R switching, also it is necessary to remove the AF amp mute by placing a shorting link across C69 (there will be audio present on normal operation, but it doesn't cause a problem).

The method used is the old "Import/Export" file format that was introduced by the W0RLI BBS. It consists of concatenating packet mail messages, beginning with "SP CALL@SOMEBBS... and ending with "/EX" for each message, and making a single file from them, which is then mailed to a special internet address at the other BBS, where they are fed into the local BBS for injection in the RF packet network locally. There is a compression scheme available also, designed by KB2EAR. This is very easily done for anyone running one of the Unix operating systems, but can be done with DOS, with somewhat more pain. If any BBS sysops are interested in joining our little "network", please write me at "durham@w2xo.pgh.pa.us" on the 'net, or W2XO@W2XO.#SWPA.PA.USA.NOA M on packet.

DOS apps work fine in Windows, even better in Windows 95 and Windows NT. They can run in the foreground, background, and in the case of PkGOLD and KaGOLD, provide a lot of features that are not in "true Winapps" including background file transfer, conference mode, dual port operation, multi-mode, huge scrollback, remote commands, and more. Also, a well-written DOS app gives you the flexibility of running in Windows, or on a less powerful Laptop, and all sorts of features. Lots of users run PkGOLD and/or KaGOLD in Windows, and they've tried the Winapps out there and return to PkGOLD or KaGOLD -- because of the features. I like Windows, use it a lot, and Windows 95 is a great improvement over Windows 3.xx. Some of our users run Windows NT or OS/2 and tell us these environments are also excellent multitaskers. Windows apps, per se, don't multitask. They all share the Windows time slice, as all apps are called from the larger application called Windows. DOS apps are given their own time slice, and don't have to deal with the enormous quantity of windows "events" or "messages" that tend to slow things down.

Molen, VK2SG succumbed to a heart attack Friday morning Australian time. Sid was 76 years old and had been in poor health since 1993. Sid, along with Bill, VK2EG, was a co-founder of the Australian National Amateur Radio Teleprinter Society (ANARTS) in the early 1970's. They subsequently started the weekly RTTY DX Notes, which were renamed the VK2SG RTTY DX Notes, in 1993, when Sid had to relinquish his contributing efforts to others. Sid's by-line on the DX Notes was 'DX1', a sobriquet he earned by having received the first RTTY DXCC in Australia. An autobiographical sketch of Sid was the featured cover story of the RTTY JOURNAL of March 1989. A subsequent follow-up appeared in the DX NEWS column of the RTTY DIGITAL JOURNAL of September 1993. The VK2SG RTTY DX Notes will continue to be generated by the present group of rotating editors, I5FLN, WB2CJL and W2JGR. Sid Molen will be sorely missed. Rest in Peace old Buddy.

Only thing is you have to play with the passband control quite a bit to find the optimum setting, which is no longer in the center. This is a little annoying if you frequently switch between digital and voice modes. Also the instructions that I had for this mod seemed to be for a slightly different model than mine and I had to dig into the schematic quite a bit to locate the components and connection points. -- 73 Gene WA4WBI : genek@maf.mobile.al.us : : genek@dibbs.net : : wa4wbi@maf.wa4wbi.ampr.org [44.100.160.1] : From Unknown Mon Jan 01 01:05:43 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!tank.news.pipex.net!pipex!newsfeed.internetmci.com!news.westnet.com!usenet From: jpryan@westnet.com (James P.

Jeff, The rules were ammended this year. It is now permissible to have an operator at only one end (and automated operation at the other end) on any HF frequency, and in specified subbands, both ends can be unattended. Given this, it'd be nice to have more of a protocol in xxGold to support such transfers.
