- I have not seen it as yet, either. However, if you find a location for it
- please let me know where. We are also trying to locate the new version here

- You *are* using an external antenna, right?
-
- PC's make all kinds of RF. I have a Gateway 486-33 at home,
- and I can't have the HT with the rubber duck within 5
- feet of the thing.
-
- When I connect my HT to my Ringo Ranger II on the roof, the noise
- goes away. In fact, I can place the HT on top of the PC chassis,
- and it works fine.

- One of the things I have found that really helps with this problem is....
- wait for it. Disconnect your mouse. Don't believe me? Well try it. I found

- Well, John,
- I had to disconnect the mouse to connect the TNC to the computer.
- So that doesn't appear to be the problem. And the printer is turned off
- for now. Any other ideas?

- A friend has his Kenwood scanning 3 digital freqs (using Pactor, and a PK-
- 232 MBX), on two bands. when someone connects with him, his rig stops
- scanning, and stays on that freq until he starts it again. Does anyone
- know how to make this rig continue scanning on its own?

- I've never build any uhf circuits but what do you need but a tv tuner,
- prescaler, phase comparator, mixer and an amplifier. I've seen 2GHz
- prescalers and 20 watt 400-500MHz amplifiers in Newark. Minicircuits
- sells mixers. Perhaps designing the matching networks is difficult. If
- someone has the equipment to analyse at these frequencies I can get the
- parts.

- Well, yes and no,
- The antenna is approximately 10 feet away. That may be the problem.
- I'll try getting the antenna set up outside and see what results.
- More to follow.

- Then why was a communications emergency declared by the FCC for a
- segment of 80M during the South's floods late last week? Who was
- passing traffic on 80? NTS? RACES? ARES?
