- Hi All,
-
- If the ARRL is making a loud noise about the Online Repeater Project, how
- much of EXPLOSION did they make when the Online Callbook came out? IMHO
- there is no difference between the ARRL callbook and the Callbook, except
- ease of use. Both Callbooks were targeted for different individuals. For
- those with internet access, the on-line callbook is perfect, for those without
- internet access, use the printed version! Both versions supply the same
- information!
-
- The on-line repeater project will, in addition to listing freqs, city, state,
- trustee,etc will also give geographical coordinates and other information
- that will be of help to the traveler (assuming that routes are planned in
- advance).
-
- Once again, these two repeater sources will be targeted at different
- people.
-
- I agree, that the printed version is great for the glove compartment, and
- handy to have, if you wander off the beaten path while on vacation, but the
- ARRL should not prevent another source of this information from being
- withheld from the public.
-
- Copyrights are somewhat like patents: You change the format, even a little,
- and you have and you have something different. If you add more information,
- you have changed the whole thing.
-
- Can you imagine what size the ARRL repeater guide would have to be to have the
- same information that the on-line guide will have (my glove compartment is
- not big enough ;-) ).
-
- Personally, I'm all in favor of the on-line version. I say go ahead with it!
-
- My .02 worth.

- Hi,
-
- I've been using a HT as my all around 2M rig, but
- have been itching to get a mobile rig. I've been
- eyeing the Yaesu 2400H and now that it is $50 off
- ($299.95) it seems like it may be time to scratch
- that itch.
-
- I would appreciate feedback from those who have
- the 2400 as to what they like or dislike about the
- rig. I'm also open to any other suggestions on the
- choice of a 2M mobile rig. Thanks.

- CQ Netters,
-
- While browsing through some modification files for the FT-470
- I spotted a hardware modification that clames that the set is
- able to be converted to cover 1.25 m and 23 cm bands in place
- of the original 2 m and 70 cm bands !!!
- Has anyone tried such a modification ? has it worked ? if yes
- at what expence (receiver censitivity) ??
- Please reply via e-mail to: demetre@intranet.gr
