-
- Just a few comments here. For one, Renewal or any other Alkaline battery is
- a poor choice of power for amateur radio equiptment due to their level of
- current use. Alkaline batteries lose out to high capacity NiCd batteries (for
- AA size) at about 300ma of current draw. Almost any transmitter fits into
- this category. TNC's and other small devices may be able to make use of Alkaline
- batteries, but a transmitter or a receiver (with a speaker) will easily draw
- more power than that.
-
- If you really want to spend a lot of money, just buy some NiMh batteries. They
- cost about the same as Renewal and will provide a longer life (charge to charge)
- than will Renewal batteries. The last time I priced NiMh AA's, they ran for $6.00
- each. I'm sure that you can find them for less than that now.
-
- Regarding the use of a diode to protect a cell from reverse charge, you would need
- a perfect diode to perform this function. Putting a diode in parallel with a cell
- would prevent that cell from being reverse charged more than .6V--which wouldn't
- do any good. Putting a diode in line with the batteries will either prevent them
- from charging or discharging. I don't see how you can protect them from reverse
- charge by putting a diode in series--unless you do so by preventing them from
- discharging, also. :)

- Subject: Callbooks around the world?
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- I'm putting together a radio-related gopher on the Delphi online system,
- and while I have pointers to two US callbooks (at Buffalo and the
- Anomaly one in RI), I'm wondering if there are any other, either in the
- US or more importantly for other countries. If anyone can pass on that
- info, I'd appreciate it. E-mail to VIDGAMES@DELPHI.COM is recommended
- because I don't monitor this newsgroup very much and will be out of town
- for most of the next week.
-
- Thanks in advance for your help...

- Hiya folks, Happy New Year,
-
- Looking for mods for a Kenwood 732A Transceiver.
-
- Anyone have a mod file they can send me?
-
- Net access is spotty over the season, so please email me?

- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- Doesn't anyone read books any more?
- Doesn't anyone go the the library and look for something themselves?
- Doesn't anyone look in technical publications for information?
-
- What is it about the internet that seems to breed the following attitude?
-
- "I don't want to expend the effort to
- look so can someone else do it for me?"
-
- Along a similar thread, how is it that no one seems to think of the
- manufacturers as a source of information?
-
- Are you people really that cheap, lazy or stupid?
-
- Not that the ARRL amateur radio handbook is the be all to end all,
- but it is two inches thick for a reason. Likewise, QST is loaded
- full of advertisements. (As several others complain about.)
-
- Dialing 411 (In the US) gets you directory assistance. Dialing
- 1 (area code) 555-1212 gets you directory assistance for any other
- area code. Dialing 1 800 555-1212 gets you the free number directory
- assistance for those of you too cheap to call someone direct.
-
- Now I know there are a lot of obscure technical aspects to amateur
- radio, but geeze people. Get off of your tail ends and look around
- a bit before you waste every one elses time.
-
- And before the self appointed guardians of the net jump on me about
- the remark of wasting my time, consider this, I don't think there are
- any stupid questions. But there sure are a lot of unnecessary ones.

-
- Here in northern California we talk simplex on our repeater Outputs so we

- on unused Output frequencies in UHF. Be prepared to move frequency until
- you find a clear frequency. Operating on a coordinated input frequency can
- cause harmful interference to a vary distant repeater.
-
- Coordinated 440 simplex frequencies here in Northern California are:
-
- 446.000 Nationwide fm simplex
- 441.000 Remote Bases and cross-band repeaters
- 446.500 fm simplex most user groups use ctcss encode decode
- 441.500 mixed use 1200 bd packet
-
- 441.875 coordinated test pair for duplex activities ctcss encode decode
-

-
- In your area 440 may be solely repeaters. This is NOT true in the New England
- area. It depends on the local coordination council.
-
- > The simplex area of the UHF band is 431

-
- Oh, this'll win you lots of friends. The frequencies you quote are the SSB/CW
- area of the band plan. FM in this area is NOT recommended.
