Subject: Commodore computer and Packet-radio, question.
To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu
A friend of mine is having problems.
His commodore computer controls a transmitter (2-meter TR7200G)
by means of a special modem. The transmit/receive conditions
are okay. After starting data transmission, within a few
seconds the transmitter is shut down. (by modem or computer?)
Does anybody have an idea?
Thanks in advance.
Henk.

Subject: Graphic Packet 1.61
To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu
I just got Graphic Packet 1.61 up and running on a Baycom modem. What a
great program! Unfortunately, because I don't read German, there is
about 10% of the program that I can't figure out.
Is there anyone who has a translation of the manual, or who understands
the program well enough to answer some questions about it?
Thanks,

Does anyone know why FBB rejects my personal mail when
TPK tries to forward it to the local BBS. I get the answer
FF from the BBS and then I am immediately disconnected. I
haven't changed anything, the problem suddenly appeared.
I am most grateful for any hints.

Subject: ICOM Owners Listserver - Does this thing work?
To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu
On page 66 of the June 1994 issue of QST, there is a reference
to an Internet mailing list for ICOM owners. You are supposed to send
E-mail to "icom-request@hipp.etsu.edu" with "SUBSCRIBE [your e-mail
address]" in the body of the message.
I have tried this several times with no results over the past
month. So I have a few questions:
1) Does this Listserver work for anyone?
2) What kind of ICOM information is distributed here? [Could you
E-mail me a posting as an example?]
3) Is there a trick I am missing for getting added to this listserv?
Since this is my first attempt to use a listserv, I suspect that question
"3" above is the kicker.
Any help or comments would be appreciated....

Periodic Announcement - ARRL Email Information Server (info@arrl.org)
The services that the ARRL provides via the internet include the
Email Information Server and the Technical Information Service.
The Information Server is an automated mail server that gives you
access to many of information files relating to various facets of
Amateur Radio. You can retrieve any or all of these files by
sending an email message to info@arrl.org here at ARRL HQ.
Each file you request is then mailed to you automatically.
To use it, mail messages to:
info@arrl.org
Each line of the message body should contain a command as shown below.
The subject of your message is not processed and may be omitted. You
may place as many commands in a message as you want. The files you
request will be sent to you in separate messages. Only ASCII text
files are supported.
Valid INFO commands:
reply <address> (may be needed - see below for explanation)
help
index
send FILENAME (example: send prospect.txt)
quit
In the above message example, "help" retrieves a brief set of
instructions for info, "index" retrieves a list of available files
and "send prospect.txt" retrieves a text file containing information
on becoming a radio amateur.
Note to users with FTP capability: All of these files are also
available by anonymous ftp to oak.oakland.edu in the
pub/hamradio/arrl/infoserver area. Retrieve the file index.txt
in the /league sub-directory for a complete listing of available
files.
If you want to retrieve several text files with one message, use a
separate line for each "send filename" request.
Your From: field or Reply-to: field in your header should contain a
valid Internet address, including full domain name. If your From:
field does not contain a valid Internet address, the answer will not
reach you. If this is the case, then use the reply command as shown
above. When needed, this command should always be the first command
in your message.
IMPORTANT: Please use the quit command in your message. This will
prevent processing errors from message signatures.
PLEASE NOTE!: This is an automated system not capable of handling
written requests. Any questions on the info-server or the content
of any of its files should be directed to mtracy@arrl.org.
ALSO NOTE!: Do *NOT* reply to messages sent from info@arrl.org - the
reply address is redirected to keep bounced messages from endlessly
looping. Write a new message to info@arrl.org instead.
The Technical Information Service gives League members on the
internet better access to the knowledgeable technical staff here
at ARRL HQ. Questions relating to Amateur Radio and related
technical topics are welcome. To use this service, send a normal
e-mail message to tis@arrl.org with your question spelled out in
plain english. For best service, be as specific as possible and
keep your line length in messages to a maximum of 80 characters.
Due to personnel limitations, priority will be given to questions
from League members.
Best Regards,
Michael Tracy, KC1SX, ARRL Technical Information Services Coordinator
(e-mail mtracy@arrl.org)
Sample of files available from INFO: (There are lots more!)
Note - If you are not yet an Amateur Radio operator retrieve the
file prospect (send prospect) for information on how to easily get
started in this fun hobby.

For what it's worth, a friend bought an MFJ 1278 last year and it didn't work.
He exchanged it and this one seemed to work but had some odd problems that
seemed be caused by intermittent hardware failure. He called MFJ and they were
no help at all -- in fact the guy was downright rude. Could have been a fluke,
I guess. He exchanged it for a third unit and it did not work either.
Basically the same problem as the first -- it would power on but not talk.
At this point he returned it for a refund and bought a Kantronics KAM Plus. It
worked out of the box the first time. A nice advantage is that the people at
Kantronics are the nicest you could ever speak with and they really stand
behind the products. Sometimes it makes me wish I had bought the Katronics
KPC-3 instead of the AEA PK-88. On the other hand, the PK-88 has been working
solid since I bought it.
