To: ham-equip@ucsd.edu
I am looking at purchashing either a 736R or a 970a radio for satellite. I know the basic differences but was wondering if anyone has any first hand experience with either or both of these. If so please let me know ... thanks

The 78A is a very nice radio. I purchased one myself. However the
Alinco 580 is a very capaible radio ( very close in features to the
kenwood ) and the Yaesu 530 has more fetures, but it costs a fair bit more.
I have been very pleased with my radio, I just wish the FCC would send me
my licence so I can acctually talk on it !

Subject: Kenwood TM733A mods yet?
To: ham-equip@ucsd.edu
Has anyone seen any mods yet for the Kenwood TM733A? It
is quite a different radio than the 732 so it looks like
some new information is necessary stretch the already wide
frequency range a bit!
I've already put out a request through some ham gear shops
in Japan, but would certainly like to hear what anyone else
comes up with....
Cheers,

********Continued from last message*********
.....that you will settle down on one repeater because you like the
folks there. So...you won't need to be able to see the dial. If you
leave the talkie in the box, it will be less likely to be stolen, since
it will be out of sight. You will also soon discover the it is a real
pain in the butt to drag the thing in and out of the car, so you will
buy a mobile rig, and leave it in the car. Buy a burglar alarm for the
car.
If you really feel the antenna is in danger from theft, I have seen
"fold down" mounts that would swing down into the trunk (with the trunk
open) or up to use. The trunk locks it upright when you shut it. I had
one of these that I think was made for CB use. You might check a CB
shop, anyone else out there remember these things?
Have fun, and welcome to amateur radio.

I have the kenwood and all my ham friends are green with envy. However
both radios are very comperable in features: I, like your self could not
decide with to purchase. Since the two seemed to be almost the same, I
wnet by the best deal I could find and at the time the Kenwood was the
least expensive ( if you call almost $400 least expensive ! ).
I doubt that you could go wrong with either one.

For what it is worth, I like the Standard 558A best of any of the dual
band handheld radios. It has an outstanding receiver with the
capablity to receive am aircraft, marine band, and the 800MHZ band as
well. It is expensive, but worth the price in my opinion.
Good luck.

Subject: Standard C108 HT
To: ham-equip@ucsd.edu
I've been intrigued by the ads for the Standard C108, the super
tiny HT that Standard has just introduced. Obviously it will be a
limited appeal rig with its 230MW!!! transmitter. I read a review of
the UHF version of this HT in a European magazine that said it was
really quite a nice piece of equipment with a hot receiver, good
selectivity, real AM/FM receiver, etc.
Has anyone any experience with this rig that they'd care to
share?
Thanks and 73, Dave AA5NU

Subject: Wanted: ICOM 970A 13cms module
To: ham-equip@ucsd.edu
I'm posting this request on behalf of G3ZDM (Chris Muriel in Manchester, UK)
who has Internet E-Mail but no news server at the office.
**************************************************************************
Subject: WANTED-ICOM IC970A 13 cms Module
Has anyone out there got a 13cms Module for the ICOM IC970A multimode
vhf/uhf base station that might be surplus to requirements?
This module,part number ICUX98,is only available to special order
in UK as 13cms is considered a specialist band.
It occurs to me that someone may well have bought one & then discovered
that they'll never use it due to low general activity on 2.3 Ghz.
There were a couple of them knocking around ICOM dealers & available
at a good price but these seem to have vanished recently!
Otherwise they're 1399 UKP in UK (no chance) & special order anyway.
They're 1399 DOLLARS in USA so if I can't locate one here it'll
be cheaper to import one from the States.
I can be reached as follows:
PHONE: 061-973-1572 (International +44 61 973 1572)
FAX: 061-905-2846 (International +44 61 905 2846)
