I am looking for good, INEXPENSIVE, 6m equipment. How do the Azden radios
(mobile, HT) compare with some of the more expensive options that are available
(Kenwood)?  Also, what about used equipment?  What is available?

You can tune it by adjusting the length, checking it on the meter until
you find something < 1.5.  Scribe that length into the side of the antenna
so you can find it again without the meter.

BTW, there is usually no need to cross-post so widely.  I've set followups
to just rec.radio.amateur.antenna.

    Uh, I must live in heaven then.  Most of the local stores
(Omni (grocery store), Osco drug, even K-mart) have at least *some* of
those titles.  I've not seen QST or Elementary Electronics, but Omni
regularly has CQ, 73, Popular Electronics and Electronics Now (I think
it used to be Radio Electronics).
    The catch is, they only have about 5 or 10 copies of them.
When these sell out, they're out till next month.  Perhaps you picked
a bad day - keep looking.

   I'll say!

   The latest thing around here, and I hope it is not becoming
   accepted practice nationwide, is to key up and say "Here is" or
   "This is" then quit transmitting to wait a second for
   the <beep>, then continue transmitting your callsign
   to check into a controlled net.

   Not only is this a waste of net time, it just sounds stupid.

   I can anticipate that someone will rationalize that this
   pause allows one to discern if he is doubling with another
   station trying to check in, a la W3HXF. It don't work!

   In fact, it is even worse than simply transmitting your
   callsign and shutting up because callsigns have variable
   length, "this is" takes almost exactly the same time
   to speak regardless of the speaker. So much for that argument.

   I just hope that this is a local* phenomenon which has
   been propogated by the newcomers mimicing newcomers,
   as Jeff has pointed out above. The trouble is that this
   disease is spreading over several of the linked repeater
   systems, meaning that the number of newcomers exposed
   to this time waster is multiplied many times.


The practice you're referring to has been used on (some) USAF MARS
nets for awhile now, and in fact is taught as "good operating
practice".

I'm with you, though.  I think it sounds dumb and in my experience
does NOT reduce the number of doubles during check-ins.  You hit
the nail on the head --  the phrase (proword, for you MARS types)
"this is" takes virtually the same amount of time regardless of
who the op is. If two ops key down at the same instant, they
will "hear" each others' pauses, and keep on going, thinking that
they aren't doubling with someone else.  The few times I've seen
this work is when either a) one of the ops speaks much slower than
the other, or b) one of the ops holds the PTT switch a touch longer
and some background noise is transmitted, thus letting the other
op hear that there is another station on frequency.

Personally, when I check into a MARS net, I generally wait until
it seems all the other ops in my state have checked in, then
check in when NCS says "Any others from state XX?"  I generally
don't have the loudest signal on freq, so that generally works
the best -- I just mash the PTT, and give the full check-in
statement, just like the manual says.  No pauses here.

Isn't this a modem chip?  I think EXAR is alive and well.  My

Subject: Misc. Questions on Choosing a Dual-Band HT
To: [e-mail]

Last time I posted a question about buying an HT, many responses said to
make sure to ask around here... so here are a few more questions:

     What's the difference between the Icom W2A, W21A and W21AT?

     What's the difference between the Standard C558A and C178A?

     DJ-580T, IC-W21AT, TH-78A, C588A & FT-530  These five HTs were
reviewed in last month's QST and as they all have various interesting
features, I'm having a hard time choosing between them.  To help
differentiate them, I  would like to know how modifiable they are.  Can
any of these models NOT be modified to pick-up aircraft frequencies?
(Yes I know that two of them don't need to be modified at all.)  Now
could any of these be modified to receive cellular frequencies without
getting bad intermod problems?  And the last question, which of them can
be modified to transmit on a commerical frequency?  (I know that the FCC
probably would not approve of this and that if I want scanning I should
consider a separate scanner, but I do not want to have to carry an HT,
a commercial radio and a scanner.)

If you have any other comments I would of course appreciate them greatly.


Thanks,

Marc Wollemborg

The Motorola Spectra-TAC requires either TLC to keep working
within established parameters or some reworking. A recent
article in Mobile Radio Technology (or similar rag)
discussed how wonderful the improvements made by the author
were, but failed to provide any substantive detail on
how to implement those improvements.

I second this. You essentially want a pair of wires extended
from the remote site to the transmitter site via the
magic of radio. The less processing in this path, the better.

One method I have seen used is to simply transmit the main site
receiver audio to the main site via radio, however short the
distance. This has two advantages:
    A) it matches the audio response to that of the
       other sites, assuming you use similar equipment
       and configuration;
    2) if you suddenly need to make your repeater split-site
       to eliminate interference, the process is simplified:
       just pick it up and install it at some distance
       from the transmitter. *

The disadvantage is that it adds complexity and cost where you
might not want it.

>I think you'll be pretty happy with it.  The only down side is the additional
>maintenance of the link equipment and voter.

As I recently commented to another gentelman considering entering
the repeater business, do not underestimate the amount of
time that a more complex repeater system can consume.
The analogy is the big, empty hard disk which soon is consumed
by new software and data. :)


*Note 2: E.g. we had a single-site repeater suddenly beset
with howling feedback starting every sunrise and stopping every sunset.
It was WTOP (1500KC) mixing with WLMD (900KC); if you do the math,
you'll find that the difference of these two stations is = 600KC.
Ta da! Instant intermodulation products. We split the main receiver
away from the transmitter and all was right in the world again.

To: [e-mail]

A week or so ago, I asked the net for advice on a mobile 2m/440 rig that
had particularly good out-of-band receive characteristics.  Thanks for the
advice from over 20 folks.

I apparently was not clear enough in the original post -- I was looking
for a unit which could be installed in an auto, not an HT.  But the HT
advice was good, too.

FYI - I have ordered a Kenwood TM 742A.    OK -- let's hear how
horrible/great a decision I made.

I was quite surprised and pleased to hear from a couple of folks about
Standard products.  I hardly ever hear about this brand of radio products.
Anyone willing/able to discuss?

This guy is just like herpes. No getting rid of him. And the article sounds
as if it was written for him with his fixation of certain body parts
(Where did Conway shoot himself? What did Walt sit on? ad infinitum)
And why am I responding to him? Well if he's going to post my emails
to him over the net I might as well respond over the net, instead.

Note that he's voluntarily taken the position of moderator on .swap
to save us from paying too much for used equipment. Thanks, Jeff.

Subject: Where to buy crystals
To: [e-mail]

Can anyone recommend a place to buy crystals for HF use.  I plan on building
a QRP rig using HC/6U crystals.  Any suggestions would be welcome.
