- Well Roger a number of things could be wrong ... a blown cap in the mixers
- a soft or almost dead driver ... a power supply problem ... soft or near
- dead finals ... or it just might need a damn good cleaning ... the again
- the alc could be screwed up too.

- To: ham-equip@ucsd.edu
-
- Now that I have a window office (for at least the next couple of hours...)
- I can park my car (mobile HF/2M equipped) line-of-sight from my window.
- I can see the car fine, and the glass is about 60 degress off
- perpendicular from the axis of view. The glass is double paned, and the
- outside is somewhat mirrored, meaning quite a bit of attenuation
- on the inwards direction.
-
- I would *love* to be able to operate my mobile setup from inside my office
- (during break time only) and I am considering either an optical or RF link.
- The link would need to be ful-duplex, and have capability for both a
- voice band and a low-speed data band.
-
- Any suggestions?

- To: ham-equip@ucsd.edu
-
- Has anyone heard of any news about a new Kenwood all-mode VHF/UHF
- base station? I heard someone say that they had something in the
- works that would have 4 bands (probably 2m., 220, 440, and 1.2)
- and would be an all-mode station. Are these rumors true, and if
- so, when can we expect this gem, and how much will we be spending?
- Thanks.

- Has anybody succesfully connected a code key to RS-232
- and been able to make it work with Super Morse?
- I tried connecting the key to pins 7 and 5 but didnt
- get any response. The software setup shoulda been right.
- I would be using it to practice for the CW- test.
- My program version is 4.04.

- Subject: TM-732 Call scan problem?
- To: ham-equip@ucsd.edu
-
- Greetings--
-
- I have a strange problem with the call scan feature on my Kenwood
- TM-732 mobile dual bander.
-
- Actual behavior:
- When in call scan mode on the 440 band, the frequency display
- toggles between the output frequency of the call channel and
- the *input* frequency of the memory channel.
-
- Expected behavior:
- I expect it to scan between the output frequency of the call
- channel and the *output* frequency of the memory channel.
-
- This problem only affects the 440 band. The memory channel is
- not in reverse mode. This affects all memory channels on 440,
- but only in call scan mode. That is, when I quit scanning, the
- memory channel shows the output frequency.
-
- When I first started using the call channel on 440, the call scan
- feature worked as expected. Then I hit the reverse button with the
- 440 band active while in call scan mode on the 440 band. (I thought
- that the 2m band was active and I was trying to hear someone on the
- input frequency of the channel on the 2m band.) Since then, I have
- not been able to use the call scan feature.
-
- What I have tried:
- Duplicate the reverse-while-call-scanning trick
- VFO reset
- Full memory reset
-
- The problem remains.
-
- Anyway, has anyone else seen anything like this?
