I HAVE A 386 SX COMPUTER & EGA COLOR MONITOR.
I AM LISTENING TO 2 METER ACTIVITY, AREA REPEATERS, WITH OUTSIDE
1 ELEMENT QUAD ANTENNA. I GET STRONG QRM FROM COMPUTER IF
RECEIVER OR COAX IS WITHIN 10 FEET OF CPU.
ANY IDEAS? OR SUGGESTIONS?

Yes, the tones are different amplitude because they are not centered in
the rig's bandpass.
I remember running into this years ago on my old sb-100, and what I did
was to get another crystal for the carrier generator and switch between
it and the usual lsb crystal. These days on my FT767GX all I do is
select FSK mode.

Thanks, Jeff. Actually I understood that the above routing can be
accomplished. But, can you do that and make it change on a daily
basis? E.G. on Monday the traffic is forwarded to me, on Tuesday
it goes to N0HAM, on Wednesday to KB0XYZ, etc. And maybe have it
so it works on a bi-weekly basis, depending on how many people a
given area has that wants to deliver traffic. So I might get all
the 809xx @ ntsco on Monday of the first and third weeks of a month,
and someone else get it on the second and fourth weeks.
What do you think?

We're using it, or trying to. However,I still feel nervous about 'throwing
a message at the packet nts system', instead of handling it myself.
More reliability in the system might help. Or better yet, enhanced
delivery systems. Here's what I responded to on another posting:
This reply is directed to anyone who is taking part in this discussion.
I am heavily involved in traffic handling and I will use any mode to
pass it, although my primary interest is CW. Here's how I would like to
see the delivery end of NTS traffic over packet handled. You BBS
sysops please let me know if it's possible with the current BBS
software.
The problems I see with the end delivery of packet nts traffic are:
1. ANYONE can take the message and (attempt) delivery, even if they
know nothing about traffic handling.
2. Some BBS systems do not allow a person to 'kill' a message once
it's been read for delivery. I WILL NOT deliver traffic from
such a board as it's embarrassing to attempt delivery when
someone else has already done so.
3. If someone does not check in on a regular basis and check for
traffic, it WILL sit and get stale.
I would like to see local Amateurs volunteer to be the
end delivery operators for NTS traffic. Each person that volunteered
would be sent ALL NTSXX @ ZIPCODE NTS traffic that comes in on their assigned
day. Ideally, they would have a 24 hour personal BBS system that
has auto-forward capabilities. If a person does not have a 24 hour
station with auto-forward capabilities, it would be his/her
responsibility to check the full service board on the assigned day.
So, can present BBs software be configured to forward nts traffic
to a given station, preferably re-address it to that Amateur's
call sign so they know there is messages waiting? Can it be set
up to send it to a different person each day, with maybe a different
person on odd or even weeks (don't want to leave out anyone who
wants to play)? This is rather the way the NTS works. Only at the
section level are people invited to randomly check into the nets.
On all other levels, folks volunteer and are assigned a given function
for a given time (NCS, liaison, etc.). This would have to be a
function that would be performed automatically once the sysop set
it up. The BBS sysops have enough work to do running their
boards as it is. If present BBS software does not support
such a function, what you you all think of the idea?
BTW, thanks to all the BBS sysops out there that keep the boards
up and running. I know it's a big job and a lot of work.
