- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- To add to the current discussions about what is and is not permitted
- during emergency communications, here are the relevant sections from
- Title 47, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 97:
-
- -------------------------
-
- Section 97.403 Safety of Life / Protection of Property
-
- No provision of these rules prevents the use by an amateur station of
- any means of radiocommunications at its disposal to provide essential
- communications needs in connection with the immediate safety of life
- and immediate protection of property when normal communications
- systems are not available.
-
-
- Section 97.405 Station in Distress
-
- (a) No provision in these rules prevents the use by an amateur
- station in distress of any means at its disposal to attract attention,
- make known its location and situation, and obtain assistance.
- (b) No provision of these rules prevents the use by a station, in
- the exceptional circumstances described in paragraph (a) of this
- section, of any means of radiocommunications at its disposal to assist
- a station in distress.
-
- -------------------------
-
- Hope this helps everyone.

- I was wondering -- since it is permissible for an unlicensed
- individual to use a radio in an emergency, and since it is possible
- that I may be faced with an "official FCC-approved grade A emergency"
- between now and when the FCC finally gets around to sending me my
- license, what is the established procedure (if any) for an unlicensed
- operator to identify him/herself if attempting to obtain emergency
- help?

- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- Hello and thanks for reading this.
-
- I am a student in Wales (UK) and my dad and I are both licensed radio hams.
- As there are no packet radio op's around here, we use the Internet gateway
- N0ARY to communicate. This is an excellent service, however, if such a
- gateway exists in europe, I would very much like to change on to it, as it
- would shorten the time for mail to get to dad and would reduce the packet
- travel time, which is good for packet in general.
-
- If such a gateway exists, I would be extremely grateful if you could mail
- me direct, at the following address :-
-
- smd2@aber.ac.uk
-
- Many thanks in advance of your replies.
-

- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- My 1987 Jeep Cherokee's Ignition Control Computer under the
- dash spews the loudest most annoying EMI I have ever heard
- on 2 meters and 220. Has anyone a cap fix for this? I have all
- the service manuals to do the repair from scratch but I thought
- someone on the net may have already done this. The spark
- noise from the distributor etc. is not nearly as loud as the
- computer with just the key on and engine off!

- I agree. One major question I have is:
- (I mean I agree w/ the acceptable use of emergency comm out of
- the ham band etc.)
- back to the question:
- Isn't it the cellular phone company's responsibility
- to make sure their customers realize that their conversations
- are NOT private- and that they CAN AND WILL be listened to? I
- mean, really folks, congress just passed another law that saved
- the big and powerful businesses (here the phone guys, other times
- the coal/oil industries) a lot of money. If this law wasn't passed
- poor little Mobile Link and Comm1 and all those other fellas
- would have had to shell out Millions (maybe more) to make their
- services more secure agains the general public. (Not to
- mention that all the old cellular phones would be crap,
- and that the new ones not only would cost more, but would
- be a bigger). So, here we see congress helping little old us
- the public by saving all the big phone companies the hastle
- of having to tell their (not so smart users -not inclusive) that
- the great new way of communication- cellular phones- is not
- as secure as you may think.
-
- I think that the mobile-phone companies should explicitly say
- that the phone calls are easily monitored by an FM reciever.
- I have heard many many things before on cellular freqs. (the on
- thing that really supports my above sentence is that I onee
- heard Name, Mastercard Number, and Expiration date all give
- out on the freq. -come on folks!- how easy can you make it
- for someone to steal from you?!?
-
- (I never stole from them because I just enjoy radio communications
- as a hobby and not as a way of life -although sometimes it may
- seem like that ;)
-
- (hope we don't feed the flame war too much, but talking
- about it helps to ease the pain)
-

- (I will try to keep up w/ any of the rest of this string,
- but if anyone wants to post a question directly to me, please
- e-mail me because I don't always get to nn between exams ;)

- AXD and AXH are really more appropriate than TXD for coping with a
- repeater. AXD is the keyup delay of the repeater; AXH is the 'hang'
- (delayed-drop-out) time. The TNC will insert a delay of AXD length
- at the beginning of a transmission if there has been more than AXH
- time elapsed since the last transmission or detected carrier.
-
- In other words, the TNC takes a good guess at whether the repeater is
- still keyed (or on a trunked system, if the channel assignment has
- expired) and doesn't delay if it's not needed. That's better than using
- TXD, which would delay EVERY transmission, even if not needed.

- I built one about 7 years ago and it did wahat it was suppose to do. The
- guy who made hte kits was quite helpful on the phone. You don't see much
- below a certain limit (I forget what maybe <10MHz) because of some inbuilt

- I really never did much with it becasue it never got into a box and at that stage
- there was no easy way of telling freq (you had to get out your ovoltmeter and
- do some things). There are improvemtns to the set up - someone has made
- a better swawtooth generator and I believe there's a freq readout now.

- I don't recall if I commented on this before, but the FCC regulations
