- Aren't there a couple of CB channels which are allocated for remote
- control of models? They permit some odd modulation schemes... if not
- CW, perhaps FSK.

- First off, if the idea is to teach ham radio boot-camp we probably
- don't want to start by violating regs, you know?
-
- However, I can think of two ways around it:
-
- 1. Teach it by saying (or using a voice synthesizer to say)
- 'dah di dah di dah dah di dah'
- 2. Transmit the code on ten meters, and do the coaching
- 'that was an A' and discussion on CB (with the advantage
- of duplex operation. If you use MCW, then ANY cheap
- receiver ought to work.

-
- It is a full-function phone patch; the term "controller" is something of a
- misnomer; it doesn't "control" anything but itself. It links your
- transceiver transmit and receive audio to the phone line, and provides
- level setting on both. There are no DTMF functions, and it does not dial
- the phone for you (I know of no phone patches that will perform these
- functions; you may be confusing patches with modems, which typically do
- dial, auto-answer, etc.). In a typical installation, you would have the
- patch and a regular phone connected to the same line. You would dial using
- the phone, then switch over to the patch when you've reached the party on
- the phone and told them what's going on. They could then hold a
- conversation with the party on the radio, with you switching manually
- between transmit and receive for them. Since you didn't list a callsign,
- I'll also point out that there are restrictions on when and where you can
- make patches between the US and foreign countries. Only a few have "third
- party" agreements with the US permitting patches.
