- Yes, but at a mere 18,000 pounds not many can afford such a car. Practically, I
- found the Cavallier reasonable RF quiet. Fiat Uno, too noisy. Diesels are
- definately better, they have a bigger battery too.

- I have been told there is a way to increase frequency by 5k and 10k steps.
- I would like to know if anyone has modified the radia to transmit from 144-
- 148 MHZ.

- Take a screwdriver and open the unit up. Look at the connector. One side
- goes to ground. One side goes to an on-off switch.
-
- Use an ohm-meter to verify which part of the connector goes to where.
-
- Presto. It's really that simple.

- Subject: TS-50 and TS-140. Which one to buy ?
- To: ham-equip@ucsd.edu
-
- Vince, you are jumping in the deep end !
-
-
- Could I suggest that you do not buy an expensive radio until after
- you have gained some experience with a cheap one, formed your own
- opinions, and found out what your interests are likely to be.
-
- I advise buying an old but functioning radio as a learning exercise.
- These things have done most of their depreciation, so when you have
- found what you hate and what you like about it, you can sell it and get
- almost all of your money back allowing you to go out and buy a radio
- that will accurately fit your needs.
-
- The TS50 is an interesting radio. It has been carefully optimised
- for use in modern cars, and the controls seem well designed to make
- mobile use much easier than with anything else. BUT a number of
- sacrifices were made to fit it in that small box. This radio is OK used
- with typically inefficient mobile antennae, but suffers overload if used
- with the kinds of antennae that you would likely erect at home. These
- radios are new on the market, have excited many people and so fetch very
- high prices new. You would suffer a lot of financial loss if you bought
- one and then decided to change.
-
- Different people may be enthusiasts for different brands and may
- absolutely hate others, but look at the IC735 which has got a reputation
- for good performance and also the FT890, FT990. No manufacturer is
- perfect, all have produced radios that proved to be junk.
-
- The TS140, TS680, and TS440 that I've had on the spectrum analyser
- in my shack were not as clean on transmit as I would like, I think one
- of the mixers in the TX path is run at too high a level in order to
- economise on amplifiers later in the path.
-
- Hope this helps a little,
-
- Bon chance
