It is not legal to use any form of encryption on amateur radio so it is not
ok on packet. I doubt they are going to bother you though. They hardly stop
blatant iterference so why worry about small stuff like that. It is illegal
though.

Subject: HELP: Yaesu ft-26 reset problems.
To: [e-mail]

I have done a reset on my ft-26, pressing simultaneously
" T " and " REV " while turning the transceiver on.

Before this operation I had     RX 130-174 MHz
                TX 140-150 MHz

and now I have only    RX 144-148 MHz
            TX 144-148 MHz

I have never open the transceiver to do some mods.
How can I retrieve the old limit values ?
How can I reprogram them ?
Can I change them ?

Thank's in advance
            Christophe

If you listen to certain repeaters in metropolitan areas,
you would likely hear more enlightening conversations.

As you might expect, some hams get hot around the collar,
ready to dial the local F.C.C. monitoring station if
someone discussing topics other than those "boring"
ones listed above.

What a crowd!

Hi,
I am looking for the location of KA2ZNB, who lived in Cape Cod previously.
The address in the NA-callbook seems not to be updated.
Does anybody know him?
We had many 2m QSOs when he has been in Germany. But now we have lost the
connections.
My former callsign was Y21DK , now I am DG0OD.
73,and thanks for reading this message.

Yes, I heard him on 10 meters this weekend and he said "via PY5CC".
Then again, I tried this route over a year ago and never received a
response (for a direct QSL request).  Has anyone ever had any luck
with this route?

Well, my callbook (94) says that PY0FM's QSL route is via PY5CC,
but I asked him for a route when I worked him during the contest
and I have written down on my notes "via PY7CC". I assume that
the disagreement between this note and the callbook is due to
contest fatigue on my or PY0FM's part and that the callbook is
correct.  Did anyone else actually get a route from him while
on the air?

Subject: Ten-Tec question
To: [e-mail]

I recently purchased a TEN-TEC Omni-D and the thing works great.  I'm
having a good deal of fun making contacts temporarily using my ~80 foot
dog run as a wire antenna (usually low power and definitely with no
dog attached).  The rig came with all the filters, but no noise blanker.
I am new to this game and wondered what the noise blanker would buy me.
The filters really let me single out the CW ops in a crowd (but they need
to be relatively strong).  I am guessing the noise blanker would be of
better use with SSB.  By virtue of its name I would say the blanker
reduces the background static.  Am I far wrong and is this a useful
feature on this rig?

Noise blankers typically do their best job on periodic
impulse noise (car ignitions, light dimmers).  They
have little effect however on atmospheric background
like the kind you hear on 40 & 80 meters.

any kind?

I do have some gain, but it is below spec -- would like
to see a schematic to do the final tuneup.

Any help would be appreciated.

transistor is Motorola MRF247
Amp is model HL-82V
2-10W in
35-80W out
 (I put in 5 and get 20)

Apparently, they quit importing these things in the mid 80's.
does have preamp and supports FM, SSB, CW

 Well, I sometimes hear CW QSOs round 28.05 28.1 MHz. Last saturday, I heard
4XPU from near Tel Aviv, Israel, QSG : 28.48 MHz if I remember correctly.

 The band is not ccompletely closed, but the openings are quite rare, and
rely mostly on sporadic E, since the MUF is seldom wandering above 20 MHz.

 Be patient.

I've seen this argument posited before, I'm not sure if it's real or
not.  Anyone who thinks that the non-existence of a product means that
ads for it are not advertisements should look at the last couple months
of QST. Lots of companies advertise before the product is actually
available.  (Sorta like President Clinton and the health care program)

Indeed.  I think that they are called `Teasers' - a common marketing

competitors: better watch out, I am going to come out with this new product.
It is a `territorial' thing.  Like dogs marking the fire hydrant.
