Mike,

As luck would have it, I am also the proud owner of a Bendix/king
"talkie". I am still looking, in vain lately, for a uhf to complement
my
vhf. It is rather easy to implement the CTCSS "steal" feature. You
cannnot directly enter the pl code from the keyboard, but you can
"steal" the code from another channel.

It works like this:

1) For purposes of example, lets say channel one contains pl of 100
hz,
and channels two thru nine contain 103.5pl.

2)to steal the pl do the following, set the desired channel using the
rotary knob, say you picked channel 5. Normally this channel would
have
pl of 103.5, but you want to use 100.0! BEFORE pressing the transmit
key, press on the keypad the channel number that has the tone freq
you
want to steal. For our example we would press 1 on the keypad. This
will
summon the pl tone of 100.00 hz, and will be in effect until the
radio
is turned off, or until you press 0. Since this is a single keystroke
command, the only channels you can steal from are 1-9.

3) to recap:
        A)set freq with channel knob
        B)press 1-9 to select the desired channel whose pl you want
to
        substitute.
        C)to cancel, turn radio off or press the 0 key

Hope this helps, I wish all ham gear was made this rugged. The
batteries
last forever. It's my radio of choice for all important events, take
two
batteries and transmit all day. It's never let me down.

I have just purchased a Kenwood TH-28E handheld transceiver (UK version) and
would like to know how to modify it for extended transmit and receive

Can anyone help with the information or a pointer as to where I can get it

Many thanks

The local branch of the Committee for Development and Democracy in
El Salvador asked me to post the following request for radio equipment.

Please do NOT respond to me personally by e-mail.  Respond instead, only
to the address and phone listed in the body of this request.

But if you remember, please tell them that you found out about it from
the Internet.  I want them to see the potential the Internet has to
help groups like theirs.  Thank you.

..............REQUEST FOR RADIO EQUIPMENT...............

The Committee for Development and Democracy in El Salvador (CODDES) is
involved in raising money and equipment for Radio Farabundo Marti in
El Salvador.

During the war, Radio Farbundo Marti was one of the main opposition voices.
They are now, finally, a legal and recognized station.  Radio Farabundo
Marti was founded January 22, 1982 in the mountains of Chalantenango to
provide an alternative analysis to the government controlled radio
and television stations.

Military operations during the 12 year civil war severely affected the
operation of the station.  There were many military attacks against its
base stations.  Because of these conditions, 18 members of Farabundo
Marti died during the war.

Now the station is legal.  Democratic elections have been set for March
1994 and Radio Farabundo Marti wants to participate in setting a new
course for the country.

RADIO FARABUNDO MARTI NEEDS EQUIPMENT AND MONEY TO CONTINUE AND EXPAND
ITS BROADCASTING.

Please help us in this effort.  A complete list of needed equipment is
available upon request.  If you can contribute equipment to the radio
station, please contact us at:

CISPES    P.O. BOX 57337     LOS ANGELES, CALIF.   90057

Please make checks payable to CISPES/FM RADIO.

You will receive an immediate reply when corresponding with us and an
immediate acknowledgment of all contributions.  This will include
an upldate on El Salvador and a letter from Radio Farabundo Marit, with
further information about the radio's projects and broadcasting schedule.
The radio station is now a totally 'above-ground' legal entity in
El Salvador, recognized by the government of El Salvador as legitimate.
If you do not want that follow-up information, simply make that clear when
contributing.

Muchas Gracias!  Many thanks from CISPES, CODDES, and RADIO FARABUNDO
MARTI!

Subject: Schematics needed.
To: [e-mail]

I'm looking for schematics for the old CB radio named
PRESIDENT "Honest ABE"
I would appreciate very much any clue on how to find it -
maybe somebody carries things like that?
I want to tune it to 10 meters - just for fun...
I also suspect it's not doing quite well.

Subject: Yaesu FT23r dial problems
To: [e-mail]

I'm having a slight problem with my Yaesu FT 23r handheld 2m.

There are two ways to adjust the frequency, via the buttons on the face, or
the dial knob on the top of the radio.  Well, the dial knob has gone haywire
because the radio now only works when it's 'between settings' (not at a
full rest-spot in the dials "clicks").  I think that maybe the shaft and
the connectors in the switch/pot for the dial became jarred off a bit, so
it's really NOT making a connection when it's at a resting spot.  It only
works when inbetween the rests of the switch (the whole radio). If its at
a resting spot in the switch, it transmits, and the LCD fades.  Is there
a simple fix to the switch/potentiometer or is it a simple-enough replace?

I opened the rig, and it looks like an easy item to get at.

Any help would be appreciated.

73's,
  Jay, KB0JZP
