- To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu
-
- I purchased a Kam Plus last Fall, hooked it up to play with it for a
- few days and had to set aside for several months during a period of a
- serious family illness.
-
- Last Dec. and Jan. I had lots of fun seeing the packet messages from the
- unit using my Icom HT and '386 computer. Last week I hooked it up again
- and can't seem to get it to put any messages up on the screen.
-
- I've tried using it with a BC-142XL scanner so that I could easily confirm
- packet activity on 145.01, 145.03, etc. The RcV light comes on as before
- but I'm wondering if I got over in the TERM mode of this unit where there
- are a ton of features (PAKTOR, CW, etc) and could have engaged something
- that is not allowing the paket signals to be processed?
-
- Should I try to reset the unit back to the NEWUSER state and start over?
- I'm sure I could find a local who could try it out for me.
-
- The computer hookup seems OK. ie I can give it commands and the unit responds.
-
- The disk from Kamtronics came blank ... believe me it was unformatted!
- Someone told me to give the Paket 5.1 program a try before and that's what
- I'm using right now. Someone else told me just to use a simple terminal
- emulator program ... and I could do everything I needed to do.
-
- The KAM manuals are readable but mean little to me as a newbie packet wannabe.
- I understand what being said but there's little there for a newuser.
-
- Any suggestions on where I might start to see if this unit is only suffering
- from my setting one of those zillion other parameters outside the NEWUSER mode?
-
- Charles EMail replies to ceddlemon@stim.tec.tn.us
-
- PS I've told the KAM to use COM2 at 1200 baud since mouse is on COM1. The
- commands from the keyboard seems to get into the unit OK.

- I'm responding via a posting so that other people will also know that

- might also be appropriate in one of the comp.advocacy groups. :-)

- I have heard a legend that a college radio station (either at MIT, Tufts,
- or Swarthmore) welded antenna to railroad tracks, and peeved the FCC by
- broadcasting nationwide. Is this true? If anyone knows, please email me
- (or post here) If you do know, could you please direct me to some
- documentation regarding this legend if you can.
-
- This is very important! Thanks in advance.
