- Subject: Battery limits for HTX-202 ?
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- Does anyone know if there is a circuitry difference in the HTX-202
- that prevents the use of high voltage ,(12 v ) batteries even though
- the external DC jack allows the use of 13.8 v ? I have been told
- several stories on this. Could this have been fixed in the 2nd version
- of this radio? My circuit diagram ( 2nd version) shows no difference
- in the input circuitry, but people have told me no to use batteries
- greater than 9-10 v. Any comments appreciated.

- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- Does anyone know if the RS HTX-202 can accept the Icom BP-8S battery?
- The battery is rated at 9.6v. Is this too high for the 202 ? I know
- there is a limit to the voltage of the batteries the 202 can
- accomodate, even though it will accept 13.8v via the input on top of
- the radio. Apparently there is a circuitry difference in the two
- inputs, but I don't know what the maximum battery voltage is. Any help
- or experiences appreciated. Dick KE4AZJ

- SYNOPSIS OF ACT
- --------------------
-
- Solar activity continued very low. Region 7664 (S11W34)
- grew at a moderate pace and produced two mid level B-class
- subflares. A strong arch filament system was observed here.
-
- Solar activity forecast: solar activity should continue
- at a very low level. Continued growth in Region 7664 could
- result in an isolated C-class flare.
-
- STD: A Yohkoh x-ray image showing the large size and spatial
- extent of the below-mentioned coronal hole has been appended
- to this report.
-
- The geomagnetic field was mostly active until a major
- disturbance began near 06/1000Z. Major storm conditions
- ensued at mid latitudes and major to severe storm levels
- were detected at high latitudes. A Forbush decrease of
- approximately 5 percent was observed near 06/0600Z. The GOES
- 6 spacecraft at 85W experienced magnetopause crossings at
- 06/1620-1632Z and 06/1709-1713Z. The only source for this
- disturbance is a filament disruption on 01 Feb near S35E01.
- The forbush decrease and the severity of this disturbance
- argue against the early arrival of the coronal hole effects.
-
- Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field
- should continue at minor to major storm levels for early
- 07 Feb. The coronal hole stream should establish itself in
- the Earth's vicinity during 07 Feb and geomagnetic
- conditions should moderate somewhat. Active to minor storm
- conditions are forecast for 08-09 Feb. Isolated periods at
- major storm are possible during that period for mid
- latitudes and high latitudes could experience periods at
- severe storm.
-
- Event probabilities 07 feb-09 feb
-
- Class M 01/01/01
- Class X 01/01/01
- Proton 01/01/01
- PCAF Green
-
- Geomagnetic activity probabilities 07 feb-09 feb
-
- A. Middle Latitudes
- Active 35/35/35
- Minor Storm 35/35/35
- Major-Severe Storm 20/20/20
-
- B. High Latitudes
- Active 30/30/30
- Minor Storm 40/40/40
- Major-Severe Storm 20/20/20
-
- HF propagation conditions were well below normal over most
- regions. The geomagnetic and auroral storming which has taken
- place over the last 24 hours has resulted in very poor to near
- useless propagation for transpolar and transauroral circuits.
- Even lower middle latitude regions (and some low-latitude
- stations) experienced fair to poor propagation. Conditions are
- expected to remain below-normal over the next 24 to 48 hours
- before gradual improvements set in, and no substantial
- improvements are expected until after the coronal hole related
- disturbance passes, which may not be for another week.

- All times are in Universal Time (UT). Characters preceding begin, max,
- and end times are defined as: B = Before, U = Uncertain, A = After.
- All times associated with x-ray flares (ex. flares which produce
- associated x-ray bursts) refer to the begin, max, and end times of the
- x-rays. Flares which are not associated with x-ray signatures use the
- optical observations to determine the begin, max, and end times.
-
- Acronyms used to identify sweeps and optical phenomena include:
-
- II = Type II Sweep Frequency Event
- III = Type III Sweep
- IV = Type IV Sweep
- V = Type V Sweep
- Continuum = Continuum Radio Event
- Loop = Loop Prominence System,
- Spray = Limb Spray,
- Surge = Bright Limb Surge,
- EPL = Eruptive Prominence on the Limb.

- Every once in a while I hear on 146.8500 mhz (A repeater in

- This sounds extremely interesting to me, since I'm having a little
- problem trying to get CW down pat...
-
- Does anyone know anything about this, and if so, is this done on
- a daily/weekly/monthly basis? Is there some sort of schedule?
- I also think I heard them giving ARRL news also one night...?
-
- They do have a slow-speed CW net on this repeater, I believe weekly.
- It is primarily aimed at no-code techs looking to upgrade (since they
- can transmit and receive on this band), but of course it can help the
- listener improve copying proficiency as well. As I said, I believe
- it's weekly, so keep an ear out about the same time - you may also
- hear someone at other times announcing the net or describing it to
- another repeater user.

- The Motorola Mostar 800Mhz trunked radio uses UHF connectors.
- As far as I know, it's the only 800Mhz radio that does. It
- also uses an automotive trailer power connector wired backwards

- Subject: Skywarn Spotting Frequency List Updated
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- I've completed the latest round of revisions to the frequency lists
- and Chris Novy has posted the updated lists at the usual source.
-
- 1) Storm Spotting Frequencies: SPOTFREQ.DOC
- Ham radio and Civil Defense frequencies which have carried useful info
- during severe weather are listed, primarily in the 2m band. The list
- focuses on the Plains States where most of the mobile spotting is done.
- The area is roughly within a line from E. Wyoming to Indiana to
- Alabama to SW Texas to Wyoming.
- **Join your local Skywarn group and serve -- your reports are valuable.***
-
- 2) TV radar info: CHASE-TV.DOC
- VHF TV stations and UHF repeaters are listed, along with comments
- about radar and weather warning display capabilities (where known).
- The Plains States are covered. The area is roughly within a line from
- E. Wyoming to Indiana to Alabama to SW Texas to E. Wyoming.

- several time to get the card.
-
- However, this past bureau shipment contained a card from XU5SE. The back of
- this card says, "Via F6FNU".
-
- I don't recall whether I sent it to XU5SE via the bureau, through N7RO or
- direct to F6FNU and he just returned it via the bureau.
-
- I CAN say that I was surprised.
