Subject: 610 Form in PostScript(r)
To: [e-mail]

The FTP server at Buffalo has a postscript_610 file that contains
code for printing out a Form 610 on a PostScript(r) printer.  Has
anyone successfully used this for submission to the FCC?  Seems like
it would be an easy way to have lots of 610s on hand -- if the FCC
accepts it.

Hi. I'll be in the Princeton, NJ region for a couple of months soon. I've
applied for a reciprocal permit, but need to find out a couple of things
before I get there. First, what is the call area for Princeton (my guess is
N2 or W2 but I'm unclear of the significance of the letter!)? Secondly,
could some kind soul tell me what 2m frequencies I should try, and whether
I need to sort out how to use the tone access options on my HT:-) I'd like
to use the opportunity of chatting to some locals! (Most of all I'd like to
try to find an HF rig to keep a sched in Australia with, but I realise that
could be very difficult)

   When you set the PL tone, do it while you are not in the memory channels.
   You must set it first before you save it as a channel memory. And make sure
   you have it turned on while you do save it. I have done it myself and have
   had no problems with it at all. Here is the way to do it:

You can do it after you've set it in the channel memory.  Assuming
you've got the memory all set up (including split), here's how to add
PL tone:

1. Select the channel.
2. Access the menu.  Now you only have 3 options to worry about:
   transmit frequency and the TX and RX PL tones.
3. Select the PL tones you want for TX and/or RX.
4. Exit the menu by pressing PTT.
5. Turn on tone encoding/decoding (Func-1 I think).
6. Enter new settings into memory (Func-C, hold for one second).

This way you don't affect the VFO settings or the defaults for the
radio that are kept in the main menu.

Can't be FSK, I still see breaks in the carrier.  More like SKSK, "Shift Key
Shift Keying."  To make this more like FSK we should send continuous
carrier, i.e. "mark" between characters.  Of course we have to add a start bit
for synchronization.  Since Morse isn't a constant length code, what would
we do at the end of the characters?  Do we need to do bit stuffing?

Good God! Can you imagine the code/no-code implications this would have?
Maybe the Internet Corporation of America (TM) could establish code and
no-code access. The higher your USENET code reading speed is, the more
access to those more "desireable" newsgroups you could get. (It could
also include testing in basic Internet rules and regulations and the
higher classes would get more technical such as routers, etc.)

Subject: Repost of IC-3220a problem
To: [e-mail]

Hi gang....I got ZERO response last time I requested help so I am doing it
again...

I have a friend who has an Icom IC-3220a dual band mobile.  The rig has a
problem in its 2 meter transmit side....some times it puts out full power
and the s/rf meter swings to verify this....however, other times, the mic
is keyed and the s/rf meter does not indicate forward power, yet the tx light
is on.  The rig puts out maybe a farthing of a watt....

On the 440 side, the radio operates correctly, and the 2 meter receive side is
fine...

William, N4SZP, the owner of the rig reports the problem started shortly
after a long hot day in Auburn, Al when the temperature in the truck got
so hot, it blew out a window...

Question:  could the heat built up inside the car destroy a componet on the
radio?

Question 2:  Is just the CPU screwing up, as the problem is intermittant...
yet more times broke than correct...

Question 3:  If it is the CPU, what is the procedure for resetting the CPU?

Thanks in advance for all your help!

(Gary Coffman, any ideas?  You seem to be omniscient (grin).

John

Subject: Why is Northern Ontario Canada left out of the ARRL repeater directory.
To: [e-mail]

    Greetings,

    I just wanted to know why is it that Northern Ontario Canada has
left out of the ARRL and other repeater directories?  Amature radio is
alive and well in Northern Ontario and provides importaint emergency
communications for the north.  Has any other locality been left out of
the repeater directory? Who actually makes the repeater directories, are
they on internet?  How can I get Northern Ontario repeaters listed again?

Well there's one man's view, and if you take Gary's comments at face
value, you'd believe that HF is a wasteland of "59...  also 59, QRZ?".
A quick tune around any of the bands will tell you otherwise.  What
you'll really find, with the exception of major contest weekends, is
pockets of DX'ers exchanging signal reports and moving on, completely
surrounded by lots of folks chewing the rag.  Yes, even on bands like 20
meters, and especially in places like 12 and 17.  Some of the
conversations are dull, boring and without much content, some are
fascinating.  Just about like all of the other amateur bands.  I meet
pretty much the same group of folks daily on V/UHF and have made some
new local friends.  I meet lots of different folks on HF, and have made
a few long distance radio friendships as a result as well.

Listen up on HF.  Don't just focus on the activities that annoy you.  I
find just as many or more interesting conversations on HF as V/UHF.  But HF
offers a taste of the exotic, and opportunities to easily talk to
someone outside of your local repeater group.  Personally, I really
enjoy both activities, and wouldn't sell either short.

See my comments on 80 meters in another posting.  The noise and
interference are bad in the thunderstorm months, but winter is a whole
'nother ballgame.  The low bands can be fun too.
