- Hello there everyone,
-
- Well this is my first post to the wonderful world of Internet so if I have
- done something wrong please let me know.
-
- I am looking for an extended transmit mods for the IC-2410H from Icom. I have
- already cut D8/D9/D10 diodes. I have a mod for the extended VHF TX but will
- that also work for the UHF? If not does someone have the correct procedure?
-
- Any help would be appericated. Please mail responses to:

- Thanks for your help,

- The QRP Quarterly, QQ, is published by the QRP ARCI, QRP Amateur
- Radio Club, International. It comes out in Jan, Apr, July, and
- Oct. Don't know where you'd get a copy to check out: ask around
- for local QRP ARCI members.
-
- Membership in ARCI is $12(US) for new members and $10(US) for
- renewals thereafter. For DX, $14 and $12 US funds or L7 and
- L6 (where L is pounds).

- According to a recent posting here, which I believe was credited to ARRL,
- there are exemptions in every state to mobile scanner laws for licensed
- amateur radio operators using amateur radio transceivers. A logical, but
- so far untested extension of the current FCC preemption should extend to
- amateurs who step out of their vehicle but are still using amateur
- transceivers. Nothing in the previous actions covered scanning receivers,
- just amateur transceiving equipment (which must be FCC type-approved).
-
- You also might want to check further into the local ordinances to see
- exactly what activity or physical hardware is being prohibited. They are
- probably prohibiting the USE of receivers on police and/or public safety
- radio channels. Check with ARRL and/or the FCC Field Enforcement Office
- serving your area for further information and regulatory updates.

- Kevin, the range is locked out because it is a violation of FCC Rules to
- transmit in that land mobile frequency band on any radio not type-accepted
- for land mobile service in that window. The Yaesu folks and their dealers
- could not sell the radio in the USA if it was capable of operating
- illegally.
- According to the FCC rules, if you want to operate in the Part 90 land
- mobile spectrum, you are required to use a radio type accepted under Part
- 90 and
- have a valid station license in the appropriate radio service. If you need
- furhter information, contact the FCC FIeld Office serving your area.

- How were you able to find when your callsign was issued? I'm anxiously

- what it is before it arrives. I know I can't XMIT without the paper, but
- I could get a jump on my personalized license plate! ;-)

-
- If you're ever visiting Nashua, NH, stop by KA1DT/R at 224.28 and 147.045.
- It's our very basic, open to all, no patch, no voice mail, not even an "over
- beep".
-
- KA1DT/R Rule 1 -- There are no rules except what the FCC requires.
- KA1DT/R Rule 2 -- See Rule 1.
-
- I just couldn't resist. . .
