Subject: CD-10 for Th- 3600A
To: [e-mail]

Greetings!  Someone offered to sell me the CD-10 callsign display
unit for my kenwood th-3600a.  My question:  is this a semi-usefull,
though frivilous, feature or something that only 3600as can do between
each other?  He only want's $20, so it's not a major investment...but
as I'm just entering the world of v/uhf, I have no idea if this (new
when the rig was new about 8 years ago) technology is still in use.  Any
info would be appreciated.

Dave

In addition to the responses on the net, I received about 18 e-mail
messages.

ALL of them were very positive about the OMNI V (and Ten Tec gear in
general). Thanks for the input. It's all benn very helpful.

BTW, several hams told me that they owned several rigs and ended up selling
the others because they were spoiled by the Ten Tec. The closest I received
to an endorsement of another manufacturer's rig was by someone who said
that the 930S came closest to performing as well as the Omni V.

Right.  I really wish they'd build a radio with a 0 Hz offset so you don't
have to do the math.  Hitting the SSB mode switch sort of gets you there,
but only from one side, and there's a gap between zero beat and (I guess)
the bottom end of the audio pass band, but you can get a pretty good estimate
even so.

Subject: Using modified HT in emergency
To: [e-mail]

In reference to a ham using his HT for emergency communications on police
communications frequencies.  First off, the sheriff department doesn't own the
frequencies they use, they are licensed to  use them  by the Federal
Government.  So if these freqencies were used, then it's the Federal Government
who has "suffered".   Also, if you look at ALL communication acts passed by
Congress, you will notice that the Federal Government has SOLE authority on ALL
matters regarding radio communications.   If a local or state authority
attempted to regulate radio communications, they would be overstepping their
authority and would be subject to both civil and criminal complaints.
Most people are thinking that "it's not worth spendintg $3000 to save a $300
radio".  In business that would be true.  But this isn't a business situation.
If all said is true, then the party should contact the ARRL and just about
anyone else that will listen and take that bastards the Federal Court.

Blah, blah, blah, sea-lawyer, blah, blah.

And I'm sure Jeff is so wealthy that he can afford to pursue it.

There are a lot of outcomes which Jeff might find out are perfectly
legal, and which Jeff might find are perfectly unpleasant as well.

While the Carl Kadies of this world sit on the sidelines banging
their drums at no expense to themselves, Jeff's career, the
connectivity of UHi, and a whole lot of money goes into the
dumper.

That's REAL constructive, now isn't it?

All to defend some putz's right to be a putz.

Get a clue, Carl: defend the freedom-fighters, not the putzes.

When I'm expecting to hear some friends on  a (simplex) frequency, I've
thrown out a "KC4WZK listening" -- if I get no results, I try again:  "KC4WZK
listening... but I don't hear anyone talking."  That usually gets 'em.

One morning, I was feeling somewhat goofy from driving 40 miles after waking
up too early, and I *almost* did a CQ rap (which I will most likely never do
on the air unless I'm either completely shloshed or something :-) -- I got as
far as picking up the mike when one of the guys came on.

[Hey, Gary, I finally got my Xenix system hooked in on packet.  If you're
 interested, it's on 145.09 (you'll probably have to digipeat through SAWNEE).
 Connect to KC4WZK or CURLY, and log in as "guest."]
