- Well, I use my Mac/SE with a Kantronics KAM - I love it. I also use
- the Host Master for Macintosh program written specifically for it by
- Kevin Krueger N0IOS and marketed by Kantronics. It is a real winner.
- However, I must add that I like it because it is extremely useful to
- me in running VHF packet and an HF digital mode at the same time
- in different windows. For me, I use a regular modem cable for the Mac
- - it seems to work just fine.

- I believe no-hams can go up to 1 watt without problems.
-
-
- In Canada they are going for about $900 each, which is about $600-700 in US
- dollars. Few yards? Well, In my test, I went 8km with a 4 element yagi and
- using cable tv coax. Currently I am 3km as the crow flies. Remember, they
- are 1/4 watt... although not as powerful as a 50watt 2m mobile, you
- certainly can get some distance with a good antenna. My only hint would be
- to mount the ant with a horizontal polarity. This greatly reduced
- interference from cellular and 800-900mhz pagers (normally vertical).
-
- I have a pc in my basement running novell 3.12. It also has a 3c509
- ethernet card. It operates as a file server and also routes ip for my unix
- box and 486 machines, ipx for my ms-dos boxes, and appletalk for the IIsi.
-
- To see if I am reachable from your site, try ftp to ardsley.business.uwo.ca
-
- If you know how to use nslookup, set type=uinfo then type my hostname
- ardsley.business.uwo.ca for the dns record.
-
-
- ps: 1 km is about .6 miles (I am tired of US citizens asking me to
- convert for them)

-
- How much are these cards? If I remember right, 902-928 is a shared band with
- hams, if so, do you think there would be enough information about these cards
- to provide an external amplifier and antenna? I'd like to go a few miles
- instead of a few yards.
-
- Thanks
