I have  a young han friend that is trying to get a packet station on
the air using a Radio Shack HTX 202 and a Baypac tnc. This set up will
not work with the HTX 202, but works great when used with other radios
and ht's. There seems to be a problem with audio from the htx 202 to
the tnc. The tnc does not want to decode the htx 202 audio. But
remember, it works great with other rigs??????????
We playe dwith the deviation and it did not help the problem. I did
this in spite of the fact that i belive that it is a problem with the
audio out of the radio speaker jack, not the tx audio.
THE QUESTION IS........
Has anyone had this problem???
If so, how did you fix it??????????
Your help would be  greatly appreciated.. The subject tnc has a xmas
gift for this 11 year ham.. He is dying to get this thing on the air!!
tnx  and 73   Mark..   NU8Z

No, it's not now available in non-digest format.  Perhaps in a few months.

My understanding is that is the case - but it depends on the
interpretation - and others have told me that there is room for
"interpretation"  :-)  and perhaps implementation. One point that was
made to me by Lynn at Interflex is that pactor unlike packet is
half-duplex which complicates the picture even more.

My personal opinion is that the perhaps the US regs are a little too
detailed and that they might/could/do? inhibit experimentation and
subsequently, development - BUT I suspect there is good reason for the
way they have developed over time.  Numerous times I have seen
discussions in the various groups about new modes finally stall out on
" is it allowed under the regs?"   That may be the price to pay
however to maintain order on the bands.

Certainly,  in Canada, and perhaps elsewhere,  we are in much better
position to use new digital modes without worry as to whether or not
their "characteristics"  meet the requiremnts of the regs. We do have
to watch our privileges, bandwidth, callsign identification and the
agreements as to the "bandplans".

That make it interesting  :-)


HAppy New Years everyone! and may 1996 bring health and happiness to

There are unlicensed Part 15 devices for data transmission,
available from many companies. These operate for the most part in the
902-928 MHz and 2400-2483.5 MHz bands.

There is the FCC-allocated Data-PCS band (2390-2400 MHz), although there
is no use of that band yet by unlicensed Data-PCS devices.

For HF operation there is the 13.553-13.567 MHz band that might
be used for some kind of unlicensed lo-power data under FCC Rule 15.225.

There is a proposal for a National Information Infrastructure band,
actually two band segments at 5 GHz, pending before the FCC.

Thanks for the information Karl ! Glad to hear that there is a more
all-inclusive interpretation of the regs!  As I mentioned in another
note - more often than not - that interpretation makes or breaks a
discussion of new and more efffective modes of digital communications
and sometimes how they can be used.



Season's greatings!

I'd suggest a KANTRONICS KPC-3 TNC and start with a simple terminal
program for the Mac like Zterm (available via your AOL connection)
that is shareware. The KPC-3 will come with good docs that will show
you how to connect to your HT.

I have a lot of Macintosh Ham Software on my home page that might
be of interest to you as well.

If not, do you know where I can obtain such a card and software?

Amateur packet radio is, in most cases, half duplex in nature. A single radio
is used, and can only transmit or receive at a given time.

PACTOR is somewhat more restrictive in a half duplex sense, in that it
ping-pongs. The other end needs to pass control back, though there are
methods provided in AMTOR (and probably the rest) that allow grabbing the link
back.

All digital codes are allowed under US regs. The general wording is that
you've got to ID in morse if you're using some newly devised encoding, but
a recent FCC statement held that Pactor, Gtor, Clover, etc. are all
within the spirit of RTTY, etc., and that IDing in the mode, rather than
morse was OK (that's how I interpreted the info from the FCC).

We don't have and more restrictive rules, though we seem to have a lot
of folks who read more into what we do have than the FCC does...

If anyone is interested in experimenting with OS/2 as an alternative to
Windoze, I have a complete, in box CD version that includes the BonusPak...
manuals, boot floppies, CD's, etc, just as you'd buy it at Egghead or CompUSA.

I decided not to use it so will part with it for $25 inc. shipping.

There are some packet, sat tracking and other radio-related applications
available that run under OS/2, both commercial and free/share-ware.

Contact via email if interested.

allow each of us to use the rigs for packet (a pair of crystals for
each of us).

Thanks in advance for any information!

Although your description to me is vague about what band, sensitivity,
IF BW, demodulation mode, etc. you wish to use, I might suggest the
Philips (used to be Signetics) NE605 or NE625 which are close in
performance, and represent a combination of the (almost ubiquitous)
NE602 mixer-oscillator (ie. front end/1st converter) and the NE604 2nd
IF strip IC which can handle either AM (via the RSSI pin) or FM (via
an external quadrature coil) or SSB (via an external BFO). Of course,
you supply the filters and external matching components.

If this is far too complex, and you merely wish to receive AM
Broadcast, I might recommend the (sort of famous) Plessey 3-pin TO-92
packaged radio IC called ZN-424 (or something very close to that)

My repeater group has been buisily building a linked repeater
system here on the east coast. We now have 13 systems on line
including a remote base which is tied in Via a normal phone line
on a call up basis. I have been watching an seeing new products
being introduced to allow you to talk and send audio over the
internet. Internet Phone is an example. I have played with
Internet Phone and so far am not too impressed with the quality
of the recieved audio. Neverless I thought that it might be
feasable to use the internet to link repeater systems via the
internet. There are  providers selling flat rate service which
allows you to connect and be on line without incurring
additional charges. So I would like to ask  has anyone tried to
use the internet for this purpose? Is anyone experimenting in
this area? Or can someone give me some info on the feasability of
doing this.  There are several systems around the country I would
like to be able to link to on a comand basis while I am driving
around. Obviously LD phone calls are out of the question for this
purpose. Posting here is fine I'm sure others may find this
interesting or if you wish my E-Mail Address is

Hi !

I am completely new to this area. I am thinking about setting up a tcp/ip
or ipx connection between two computers that are only about half a mile
apart. I have no idea what hardware I would need. I gather that I would
have to buy two radios. ok. But what hardware for the computers ? Is
there a document available somewhere that discusses some possibilities
including www addresses of retailers ? Preferably, we would want a
connection >=14400 baud. Both computers have ethernet cards but no
ethernet/tcpip connection. Is there hardware that plugs into the BNC
socket of the ethernet card ? Is this a silly question or a bad idea ?

What do people generally use ? Hardware that plugs into a COM port ?

I searched the web for most of the night but couldn't find any sites on
the hardware subject.

Any help is appreciated. Please mail personally to [e-mail].
Thank you.

Peter

I am interested in getting started in 2 meter packet.  Unfortunately I
know next to nothing about it other than its capabilities.  Could someone
recommend a FAQ about packet, NOS, where to get NOS?  Any info would be
much appreciated.

Using PROCOMM and a PK-232 I managed to log on to the local node, but I
hadnt a clue as to what to do afterwards.

Thanks, and 73s.

I have a Kantronics KAM Plus all-mode TNC with version 7.1 ROM for sale.

Works just fine; just not interested in digital modes any more. Bought
new this year. With all cables, manuals, orig. packaging, etc. VHF cable
presently is set up for HTX-202.

Asking $225.00; will consider trade for 28.8 modem or 32 bit wavetable
sound card.

All parameter commands to mfj tncs have to have the beginning of "param
xxxxxx" for what ever the parameter is.  such as txd 33    persist 33
slots 2   or any of the other parameters involved.  Due a "Disply" when
in native mode and note the parameter setting and command word, use them
to set the params in kiss.  Also, an observation, the tnc will reset
itself in kiss mode in periods of inactivity and it tends to return the
paramters to default.  You will see the STA and CON leds blink three
times in succession indicating this.  I have had a 1278 for 4 years now.
It makes a darn good multi-mode machine and native packet personal
mailbox, but for kiss work I switched to the Tiny 2 as it has a more
stable kiss environment.

far to no avail.

Robbert:  Sorry for all the poorly done quoting of your/Tim/s text...
Unfortunately, I don't know what UltraPak is/does.

The WA8DED firmware (commanded to be in "host" mode) requires the
terminal program to poll.  There are commands to get status, to read a
frame, to write a frame, change logical channels, etc.  However, Ron's
host mode emulator, to my knowledge, was never released to the public
domain.  The AX.25 v2 firmware was, however.  The interface is well
documented and is part of the firmware distribution.  Everything should
be available at the TAPR ftp site, among others.

Fiends,

A couple of weeks ago I offered a Database program of Broadcast Radio Stations
 - mainly on
shortwave -  which was only a DEMO.  That program would only accept up to 100
records
unfortunately.  If you would like a simular program that will accept an unlimi
ted number of records
and already has over 4,000 records now, please respond to this message.


I must register and keep track of whomever has received this program, so would
  you include your
name and mailing address with your request?  This information will be dkept co
nfidential.

Hope to hear from you...

If the IR imagery you refer to is that from low level weather satellites,
this information is broadcast on the VHF bands and can be received and
displayed on relatively inexpensive equipment interfaced with a PC.  The
satellites are only up about 400 miles and the signals are fairly strong.
No need for dishes as you would need for picking up a geostationary bird.
Check out the ham magazines for ads.  No need for packet connections for
this information.

Regards.

PC, most things work fine but when they telnet into my Linux system
there terminal setting seems to be wrong as most of the time the first
character of each line is missing. I have tried setting several
different terminal types on login, but they all seem to do the same
thing.

Has anyone else had the same problem ??

Does anyone know of a way around it ? or what terminal type to use ?

Any help would be much appreciated.

When I was on 2 meter packet --before my tower blew over-- I would
occasionally see a message about the existence of gateways between the
amateur packet network and the internet.

I want to post a message from the internet to packet (to sell my KAM+),
and I haven't been able to figure out how to do that.

Can you help us out?

Thanks

Hiya,

Has anyone had success linking two computers,both running BPQ through
the comm ports with NO MODEM in between. ie. a straight RS 232 cable
between the comm ports ?

I am sysop for our BBS running FBB5.15 on both machines and I
want to have the one PC fwd to the other.

If you had any success in this area please let me know.

There are different ways of approaching it.  For PGP signed cleartext
you don't need support in the TNC or the software talking to it.
It would only be more convenient to have some way of preparing a signed
message without leaving the packet software, but a reasonable OS would
allow that anyway.

Authentication of the connection itself is another thing.  It is more
difficult, for the reason you give.  It would have the advantage of solving
all problems in one go.
(sending BBS messages, reading and killing other people's mail, remotely
controlling a BBS or node, etc etc)

The B types can do 19200 bps without problems, and 38400 bps with a
slightly degraded eye.
For 9600 bps, the D type should be wide enough.

Simply put, the spectre of 10 years/$100,000 for using a false
callsign doesn't scare anyone enough to prevent it from occuring.

Demands for additional authentication are a tacit acknowledgement of
this fact.

Encryption for authentication is legal in the USA.  Hams using real
computers for their packet communications could begin using it in short
order.  TNC/dumbterm stations could use one of the one-time-pad, S/Key,
or equivalent mechanisms.  Some BBS software packages already have it.

The technology is simple.  All we need is to want it enough to do it.

Never happen.

Should work quite happily - what doesn't work? I think it will work with
TXD, RXD and GND (TX and RX crossed of course) if you set FULLDUP=1 on
the relevant port. You can use KISS (unpolled) or NETROM options,
although I think NETROM is preferred because it is checksummed. You can
add in the handshake lines and diode matrix as per TNC2 node clusters if
you want more than two machines linked.

FWIW I gave up using serial ports when I picked up a couple of network
cards cheaply. The system seems to works better with an ethernet link,
possibly because it has less interrupt overhead.

I even gave up using network cards when I gave up running the BBS last
year.....

I agree. I have the Kenwood TM-251A.  It is a nice little rig, has
extended receive (118.0 - 173.995), tone encoder, etc.  It is
'supposed' to be 9600 ready, but most of the commerical rigs still
have some problems with that.  The data port on the back is a
'mini-din' plug, so if you're interested in packet, buy the data
cable with it.

It was about two weeks before I could say that I had 'mastered'
all of the features.  It has two different menus in it to set
such things as display brightness, tone alert, scan limits, etc.

The three power levels are 5, 10, & 50 watts (advertised), but
mine runs about 5, 10, & 40.  Current drain is about 11 amps, so
get a good power supply.  All-in-all, I like it, and if pressed,
would probably buy another one.  It was a little pricey, but
aren't they all these days if you're looking at new.

Hope this helps.

Sure.  Define an ASYNC port to run KISS protocol on each PC, then connect
them together with a serial cable.  You'll probably have to use a "null
modem" cable, or build one yourself.  I'm using a 3-wire cable here with
each PC's receive line connected to the other PC's transmit line.

I can vouch for this configuration.  I'm using it at work.  Since I am
not the only ham who uses it, we modified our personal minicom startup
script to set mycall to our call signs.  You just can't do file
transfers.

Hams don't seem as free about source code as Internet programmers.  If
there were some file transfer protocol code out there publicly
accessible, it should be fairly trivial to add it to minicom's
menu of protocols.

You should find no such location as the beta release so far is
restricted to about 15 people nationwide! Towards the end of Jan. it
will be released to the general public.

I am currently using a 5/8ths wave in my attic with an HT to do packet.
It does a decent job but I think that there are too many retries.  It is
also not quite able to consistently hit a BBS I use.  I do not want to
invest in a new radio, but am interested in suggestions for an
inexpensive antenna that might help.  Thanks.

It is easy to link two computer under BPQ ! Use a 3-wire (7 will be
better) cable. Following is the shematic connexion for the 3-wire cable :
2 <----> 3
3 <----> 2
7 <----> 7
This is for a 25 pins SUB/d connector.

Dont forget to add a new PORT configuration on BPQCFG.TXT.

Thats all.

A such system is running here with a FlexNet node connected to a computer
(with BPQ + FBB) and next a second computer (with BPQ + DxCluster).

Hope this will help you.

Gidday,

I run 2 computers here, side by side. Computer 1 runs FBB515c along
with BPQ408 to 2 DRSI cards and an RS-232 link to computer 2 running
TPK with a virtual TNC courtesy of BPQ408a. TPK is running fine with
BPQ in their own DOS window under windows 95, which allows me to
access internet, run a dummy copy of FBB515c (not connected to
anything) as well as do 1 or 3 other things as the mood strikes me.

There is no problems just connect it up with a null modem cable - and
it works. Got to remember of course to set up the unproto broadcast
function on the BBS (computer 1) to get the message header lists on
TPK (on computer 2). I run the link at 19k2 baud. Just a tad faster
than standard 1200 baud packet

I'm having difficulty with some of my rigs and the HK-21's PTT
handling.  In particular it won't key some rigs at all (Midland
13-509), keys some rigs all the time (Yaesu FT-736R), and works
perfectly with others (Yaesu FT-726R).  I am using the RJ-11
(or whatever that size connector is called as it is smaller than
a standard RJ-11, as in the size of a handset connector) connector.
I have zilch in the way of documentation and would appreciate any
suggestions before I start trying to trace out the PTT circuit
by hand.

Look at http://www.inficom.com/infihome.html
for wireless service provisions.

An additional interesting question is - when will some smart
hams get Netscape running at 57.7 kbs over radio lines? Sign me up!

I have read of this mod but have never tried it on my FT-757GX.
Actually there are two mods. Both involve rewiring the MOX switch so
that one of the cw filters is in line irregardless of mode. The other
mode went a step further replacing a filter with one from the FT-101
series.

I'll check some ftp sites and let you know where to find the details
of the mods.

Because it is better to use an omni antenna on a CSMA packet channel.

No, dont use a quad or a beam. You're real problem is the low power.
On packet, its not just the BBS that cant hear you, its EVERBODY
else on the frequency. Even if you are a block away from the BBS,
all the other packet stations need to hear you. If they don't, they
will be transmitting at the same time. This is a packet collision.
The BBS cant make out anything, and you (and EVERBODY ELSE) will be
retrying like crazy. It only takes one HT to fuck up an entire
packet BBS for everyone. So, using a beam or quad will prevent the guys
off to the sides from hearing you also. So this is a bad thing.
The rule for good packet, is for all stations to use an omni antenna
up as high as possible, and run as much power as possible.
Of course, if you live on an ocean shore, you dont need to worry
guys behind you.
 I use my icom 229 in 50 watt mode into a 5/8 verticle up 30
 feet, and it works great till after Christmas when all the
 new guys put their new TNCs on the air into their new 202s.
So, try to be a good citizen, and do whats best for everyone, not
what's best for only you. OK? -pat

Point your browser at http://www.wa4dsy.radio.org:80

You'll be experiencing 56 kb full duplex links on 222 MHz
using the *new* WA4DSY modems. The web server is running under
OS/2 Warp and uses the full duplex 56 kb repeater located on
Sweat Mtn near Atlanta.

Interesting Idea - However given the snails pace of the net for the

I'm about using a pair of smallish Standard C408 transceivers for 9k6.
Anyone tried connecting them to RUH modem succefully? Or could anyone
shed some light on a place (ftp, www, ...?) with the info required?

Tnx, 73... Sanyi

I purchased a mfj data radio yesterday and can't get it to operate
correctley. I made a cable to connect it to the kpc3 and it transmits,
but I can't get it to receive. I am unsure of some aspects of the set
up. What should the baud rate be set at for the tnc. the mfj comes set
at 1200 but the kpc3 won't sign on unless it is set to 9600. if any
one has experence with this combination could they please respond to
this message.

Close.  Run as much power as necessary.  Unless you live in the boonies
and there are no other PBBS or other nodes on the frequency, you
will just interfere with more distant PBBS by running excess power.
Necessary power in this case should be enough power to hit all stations
that are in the PBBS normal user area.  Any more power is both unneeded
and of course against FCC rules.

Greetings,
I am asking for help. I have a Kantronics Packet Communicator model KPC-1
(ROM version 1.6). And I received information to update the hardware to
version 2.70 from them.

They used to provide an update kit but had so few requests for the kit
that they discontinued the kit. Their tech support was very helpful in
locating and FAXing to me the instructions for the hardware update which
I've completed.

The update kit used to contain:
1. New program EPROM (U4)
2. New EEPROM to replace the NOVRAM in versions 1.5 or 1.6
3. New RAM (U6)

What I need/request is for anyone who has an upgraded KPC-1 who would be
willing/able to send me the EPROM image.

Thank you for your assistance.

did you use and what software package(s) were you successful with.

That is one of the biggest problems with packet networks. There
needs to be more use of packet repeaters (not digipeaters) then
all stations hear all stations and the hidden transmitter are
eliminated.

If you've got Web access, try www.idir.net/~medcalf/ztx/wire/  This will
tell you what you need to know.  Otherwise, just e-mail me back and I'll try
to draw an ASCII picture.  I've got a W2A and it's working fine with my KPC-

Hello.
 Thank you very much for having my message read.
 I will introduce the software which I developed today.
Packet radio network correspondence e-mail system SPG-NEWS for Windows was
developed this time.
SPG-NEWS is e-mail software characterized in the operation environment by GUI.

Each other of FWD-RBBS and the message of W0RLI and the F6FBB type is
forwarded.
There are two kinds of communication methods of the following.

  1.Method of exchanging message according to forwarding protocol
  2.Auto-pilot function to connect automatically at reserved time, to read
    message and mail of specified genre, and to transmit message which I wrote
.

The operation environment is Windows3.1 or Windows95.

 The beta test is done to the fourth edition of a Japanese version in Japan
now. The fourth edition (Japanese version) schedules formal release in the
first quarter of 1996. An English version is scheduled to be released from the

Japanese version release within three months. :-)

 The home page of SPG-NEWS was established in undermentioned URL.
Please see by all means.
Japanese version SPG-NEWS can be down-loaded on this home page.

gosh it sounds like at least 3 of us in the same boat - i
just downloaded a copy of 3.0 and built the interface - it
decodes cw just fine but absolutely no intellegence on rtty
just as u folks mentioned - transmit audio is just fine as
well as ptt circuitry - im using an old xt clone 10mhz and
i blamed it on that, as the hamcom manual sez on page 3 "on slow
systems, e.g. 8088 cpu, some functions may not work as expected
or may not work at all"  - i blamed the lack of rtty decode on
my antique confuser, but luks like it is a problem on fast, new
generation confusers too? anyone tried the older 2.x version?
my buddy has it on cd rom so maybe i can get a copy from him and
try it out - will follow up - i learned of hamcom from w4vzr/7
while working him with a borrowed mfj1278 so i will try to get
ahold of ron and see hw he made his run - someone pse HELP and
tnx, 73

Last night I downloaded a copy of Hamcomm version 2.2 and tried it -
the interface schematic is the same.  RTTY copy was unintelligible
until I hit the tab key to reverse - I was listening on 20 meters.
Then, I was able to copy occasional words and callsigns, but nothing
like a complete transmission.  Copy improved when I cranked the audio
gain on the TS-440 to near max, but still not the the point where I
could call it usable.  I'm beginning to suspect that the 741 op amp
doesnt' have enough gain in this application.
We (now three of us - follow the thread backwards) need more
information - has anyone else tried HamComm?  Has anyone gotten it to
work?  Does anyone have any other non-TNC solutions to copying
teletype that don't involve motors and oil-dripping machinery?

I have successfully modified my TR-751 for 9600 baud use,
relatively easy and leaves the rig usable for voice and 1200
baud use as well.  It works great with the KPC-9612.

You can find info in the following document:

ftp://hydra.carleton.ca/pub/hamradio/packet/96man2x0.txt

Both connections are accessable by removing the bottom cover of
the radio and are located on the main board.  I just used the
IC-2 pin 9 RX (to pin 2 on the 9612's 9600 baud port ) and D-21
cathode TX (to pin 3 on the 9612's 9600 baud port) (D-21 was a
flat surface mount diode and I soldered directly onto the
Cathode side)  I found it necessary to put a switch in the line
to use the radio for voice when connected to the KPC-9612.
Otherwise, I had no transmit audio.

I have had great success using HamCom 3.0. I have no trouble copying
the coastal weather stations and the W1AW RTTY broadcasts on all the
Ham Modes.  It will not decode all the RTTY modes there are on the air
nowadays, but for the most part after getting the mode sorted out
HamCom performs for me.  I even use the interface to recieve slow-scan
TV.  I am using a Japan Radio NRD 525.  Perhaps reciever stability has
something to do with good copy......

Selling:

NE2000 compatible 16 Bit ISA network card,
has BNC connector for cheapernet, and a AUI port for plugging in a 10
base 5 or 10 base T transceiver. Card is not auto-sensing - you need to
switch jumpers in order to switch it from the AUI port to the BNC port and
vice a versa. Have all the documentation, original box, and test program
disk (although you shouldn't need it, it's a hardware programmable
card).

I am currently using this card on my secondary Linux server, and have a 10
base T transceiver plugged into this card's AUI port, and connected to
my primary Linux server with cross-over 10 BASE T wiring (no hub).

Asking $50. You can see it working if you drive to my place in Grafton,
or if you live near WPI we could test it in your machine (if you so
desire).

I have the same setup and it works very well. RJ45 connector on radio
to db9 on kpc3. tnc is seeing audio loop though due to design of
htx212 and I see my tx packets as well as rx, annoying but does not
affect functionality...

Hi there and thanks for reading my message.

I am currently using a program called GRAPHIC PACKET.
It runs under DOS on my 286 LAPTOP and I like it.

When you log into a (packet) BBS, and list all the messages, GP is supposed
to record all those header lines, and save them in a special window.

Well, this particlar feature NEVER worked for me.

Anyone having an idea how I can solve this problem? My home BBS runs FBB
software.

O, one more interesting thing:
One time I read a message from my home packet BBS, and it came from Norway.
It was a message from a norwegian sysop that was complaing about CB-ers using
our packet environment without having a licence.
He included a screendump from his system showing a list of headers.

When the message was scrolling over my screen, suddenly I heard a
beep, and when I looked in the BBS window, I had actually recorded all
the message headers from the Norwegian sysop message.

HELP!!

Ham radio style 9600 half-duplex packet is a bit slow for Web stuff,
but i guess you could try it. Obviously you can't connect to
commercial servers over the air on the amateur bands but other than
that it should be pretty simple.

I get on amprnet via the tnc's by using a NOS program running on a 286
to do the ax25 and tnc interface. Then my windoze box is connected to
the 286 via ethernet. This allows me to use all the windoze
applications over the air. Pretty simple setup and less complicated
than trying to find ax25 drivers for winsock tcp stacks.

I've been thinking about putting up a limited web server for amprnet
here but the speed of the networks don't make it very practical.

I have used Hamcomm 3.0 extensivly, even ran on contests with it. Be sure you
have the mark-space relationship set correctly first.  If that is correct then
be sure you have taken the time to go and set the ticker value in the
configuration file. The docs say that this is necessary for TOR but I think
RTTY may be affected too. Be sure you are not over or underdriving the audio
into the interface too.  I now run a KAM cause I wanted Pactor/GTOR/VHF packet
but I still use Hamcomm from time to time when I am out camping.  It is a
remarkable piece of SW.

The HamCom '96 amateur radio convention is expanding its focus this year,
with a theme of "Computers, Satellites, and Microwaves in Today's Amateur
Radio" and is looking for speakers who can address these topics.  Of
particular interest are programs which bridge these topics (High speed
packet on the microwave bands, packet operation via satellite, etc.).
Speaker sessions are typically 20 to 30 minutes in length.  HamCom æ96
runs Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, June 7 - 9, with speakerÆs forums all
day Saturday and morning on Sunday.

If you are interested in speaking at HamCom æ96, or have suggestions for
speakers, please contact me at email address [e-mail], or via phone
at [phone].

This does not work with every BBS-System. I know it works with
BayBox (from BayCom-Group), and DieBox (by NordLink). I think FBB
should work also, but i can`t check it.

Maybe they use a System like DieBox ?

Actually, the use of PGP as Authentication is just fine. It's my understanding
that this is what people are doing. The text of the message is in the clear,
but the PGP key added at the end is merely a fingerprint that can be used
to authenticate the origin of the message.

Encryption of content is not allowed under the rules, but authentication,
compression, etc. are all legitimate uses, IMHO.

Since nobody's mentioned it yet... A MUCH better solution to this problem
is the use of full duplex packet repeaters. We have one locally running
9600 BPS TCP/IP, but there's no reason it should be limited to any one
encapsulation. I'd like to see the packetcluster nodes, PBBSs, etc. use
more full duplex access ports.

It does cost more to set up the user port, however the payback is that each
station ONLY needs to be able to hear the repeater. Very low power can be
used, and a small yagi can be used at any of the stations. Collisions are
at a minimum and effective throughput goes WAY up.

Need Pascal Source Code for PK-88/PK-232 (TNC)

I have an old HeathKit Z-100 computer which I would like to use for
Packet/RTTY.  I have seen several old MS-DOS programs that would work
but, they dont run to well on the Zenith.  PLEASE!! if you have PASCAL
source code for a program that can provide decent communications with
a PK-88, PK-232  etc. I would appreciate having a copy of the source
code to convert for use on the Z-100 dinisour.  I have Turbo-Pascal
version 2.0 and 3.0 that run excently on the Z-100. One program that
looked real good is the TNC.COM by WD0DUD/KA0DMJ, back in '86.

 Thanks in advance Rich KE0ZX

You might want to listen to the audio samples on Phil Karn's web
page. Speech coded as tightly as 2400 baud is intelligible, though
at 11 kb using QCELP encoding it is much closer to what we'd accept
as "repeater quality", and good enough for digital cellular phone.
You can also listen to any of the Real Audio sites on the net. The
base rate fits in a 14.4 kb modem stream, though the higher quality
RA 2.0 requires a 28.8 kb connection for good quality stereo audio.
I expect that "communications quality" mono speech could easily be
fitted into an 8 kb data stream.

I believe Motorola offers such an encoder on a single chip, and
Karn offers C source code that can implement it with just a sound
card in a 486 class machine (Turbo C++ and GNU C++ versions for
DOS and Unix respectively).

64 kb PCM coding isn't necessary, and is actually rather passe.

When I was running a packet BBS some years ago I had a couple of PCs
running BPQ, linked together via the serial ports, without any problems.
I checked with John Wiseman (Mr BPQ) first, and he told me that he
debugged his software this way. I was using the second machine to
monitor what was going on on the BBS from another part of the house.

Sure. FAX has been around in amateur radio for a very long time.
25 years ago I was doing it with Western Union desk fax machines,
but it's a lot easier now. Some of the commercial multimode
controllers support it, but the easiest way is to get a copy
of JVfax for the PC and build the simple interface it uses.

Try the Ham CD-ROM's, for Mac software.
The newest QRZ disk dated July 1995 Vol. 5, has several Mac programs
available on it.
You can also run your TNC using ZTerm.

Good Luck,

I'm new to the digital stuff...

Lessee, KPC-3, Hostmaster Mac software.

Monitoring a local packet frequency, which happens to have one station
transmitting regularly.

ID (with some brief data) comes through fine.

A couple times each hour or so, it sends longer message.

Except for some all-caps identifiers, the rest of the data is unreadable,
showing up as collections of non-ASCII characters, such as cedillas,
things with umlauts, etc.

Do I have a problem, or just a flag set wrong?

Hi All,

We are experiencing a strange problem in operating a packet station using
an old PLL transceiver, the FDK MULTI 700. The RTX has two separate inputs
on the front mic jack for PTT and BF input and a rear jack for EXT speaker.
We've connected the radio to a KPC-3 in the usual way and all seems to be
ok. While in receiving the station does'nt miss a packet in transmitting
other stations can't decode packets. The AFSK audio output from the RTX
, monitored with a second receiver, seems to be ok and tones are like any
other packet tones. The only tnc parameter we've tried to change is the
TXDELAY but with no success ...
Any ideas of what it's happening ?

Hi Laurence.

I have a Sangean ATS-803a. It is a digital unit with a BFO and covers
1 to 30 MHz plus commercial AM & FM bands. With the use of the external
antenna jack, and an outside wire, I can decode 300 baud packet via my
TNC. But other than that...thats all Ive done.

Take care, & 73.

Has anyone considered using two different frequencies for these two BBSs?
Those 'people 20 miles away" would then be on a different frequency.  Oh,
horrors, those BBSs aren't passing traffic on the user frequency, are they?  I
f
so, you deserve all the problems you can get.
For the price of a repeater, you can set up user ports every 15 miles or so,
and have them all link (on a different frequency and band) to the BBS with
their own quiet little channel.  EVERYONE will get seriously better
performance.
The point is: either set up a proper network, or quit complaining when it
doesn't work right.

By the way, the suggestion "use a tall omni, and lots of power" is essentially

correct.

Looks to me like you are not realizing yet that much of the
machine-to machine data is now encrypted similar to or exactly
like PKZIP and PKUNZIP do for compressing data to conserve
space on floppy and hard drives, etc.  Compression of the data
stream allows less crowding of the packet frequencies.  Much of
what you see is compression, and of course much of the control
codes blipped back and forth between nodes prints out gibberish
characters on the screen of someone trying to monitor such
traffic.

Neither. You are probably watching a BBS forwarding mail, using data
compression. It looks like garbage to the casual lurker.

The lack of memory is the most connon problem. Before you try to use the 'm'
command in JNOS, try doing a 'mem stat' command and look at the core left. If
this is
fairly low, like below 100k, chances are that this is the problem. You might n

a mailer that uses a little less over head like Pcelm. This should be availabl

Hope that this helps out......

Am running some HF file transfer tests using NOS (actually NOS at the
receiving station & NET/mac at the sender) and would like to get clear
description of the ARQ protocol(s) that Karn's implementation uses.  So
far, our freqs/times show little contention.

In particular,

1. Is (are) the ARQ protocol(s) so-called stop-and-wait, go-back-N or
selective repeat, or something else?

2. How do the parameters MSS (frame size) and WIN (frame-window size)
affect the ARQ scheme?  Is there a rule-of-thumb for selecting them for
good throughput (especially for HF)?

3. How do the ARQ schemes differ when you use datagram vs virtual circuit mode
?

I tried to do this with axparms -add 1 ON1KUL-10 ON4CP, but all the

hi,

i've just downloaded a new version of jnos, but some of the new commands
don't seem to work e.g. the in built editor.  The doc's that are supplied
do say that not all commands may be compiled into the executable.
So what i was wondering is, if i get a C complier, how do i go about
recompiling it from the source code ?

cheers

andy, g7ueh

p.s. It's JNOS version 110m, for dos (files are dated 9th jan)

Hi Group

A few months ago I got a pair of AL-3351 Arcnet cards for $5 each. I
would like to use them between my 486 running Windows (trumpet winsock,
Eudora, Ws_ftp, Ewan telnet) and an old 286 running Wnos. It's working
at the moment with winsock configured for a slip link thru the com
port, but I want to put the 286 at the top of the hill back of my place
(to improve the 70cm 9600 bds side).
That's about 150 feet away ( ~ 50 meters) and 100 feet higher than the
house.

Has anyone ever used these cards with Wnos ?. (Any Nos!)

I got the Arcnet driver and also a Arcether driver from Crynwr software
and tried them both.
I recompiled Wnos with Arcnet support but am confused about a few
things.

The ATTACH PACKET command's last parameter [ip_addr]. What ip address
are we talking about here ?.

When I do 'ARP ADD callsign ETHER address'. What address is this, Is it

the ip address of my other PC or the address of the arcnet card ?.

I have tried just about every combination without success. At the
moment I am trying to make it work with WNOS at both end. When I get it
working I will mess with Windows 95...

Do I need to dump these cards and buy new ones, if so which ones ?

Hope somebody can help.

By the way I am using wnos4b0 to which I added the QRZ callbook server
and pop3. It runs on a 640k 286 with just 1 floppy drive and has never
crashed... Off course the callbook is on the 486's cdrom drive.

73 and best from Jean-Pierre KC6JET

Paul,
Contact the North East Digital Association (NEDA) at PO Box 563, Manchester NH

03105, and ask them for a copy of their parms list.  They also have an book
about 200 pages thick with exactly what you need in it, along with very
detailed explanations of why each parm is chosen just so, and the effects of
changes.  Membership is $15/year, well worth it.

They also have a WWW page, but they don't take E-Mail through it.

another program and had to HARD reset the tnc. Packterm may be a very
basic program but it doesn't give me fits like the other ones I try. I
actually like it. I fear I now have to hard reset the tnc (Again) and it's
a pain to have to reset all my settings. Is there away around this? Why
does these other program screw around with the tnc settings to begin with?

Help via e-mail appreciated!!

Dog X-Ray 1.0D1 is a free PK-232 interface for the power macintosh.  Our
intention is to evolve DXRay into a fully featured DX cluster
interface/logger for the Power Macintosh platform.  At the moment, DXray
provides cheap (read "free'') interface to the PK232MBX.  DXRay will
provide spotting announcements if MacInTalk is installed.  It should be
available by the time this message is posted on the Info-Mac Sumex
mirrors.   DXRay is currently freeware, copyright 1996 by Joe Mastroianni

comments, problems, or questions about DogXRay.

Thanks!

You get a copy of Borland C++ version 3.1 or greater.  Edit the config.h,
and type "make".  Put the right paths in the makefile to the compiler.
That's all there is...

I'm setting up a small NETROM network using NOS boxes.
We're using several different frequencies and several different
link formats from:
        reliable high-speed local AX.25 over IP tunnels (non-radio)
        256k radio links
        mostly reliable 56k AX.25 over IP tunnels (non-radio)
        56k radio links
        9600 bps radio links & access points
        1200 bps access points and grandfathered links

I understand how NET/ROM works and understand routing quite well,
what I don't have is the operational experience in running a NET/ROM
network that would help me come up with good rule-of-thumb numbers
to use for setting link quality parameters so we can make decisions
like:

Take the 56k path unless we have to hop through more than n'
switches if the 9600bps path is direct...

This just translates into LQM numbers like:

        HS tunnel       250
        256k link       200
        LS tunnel       150
        56k link        100
        9600 link       40
        1200 link       15

minimum                 10

sorts of things... (I may have this backwards, I'm really new at
NET/ROM).

Hi Tom... Sorry to say; a lot of the Test Drive programs, do a auto baud
routine an will change, the TNC to computer baud rate.... Then when your
done, it won't work with the settings of your original program. The simple
thing to do is to check the baud rate in the program you always use, write
it down. Then when you try another program, check the baud rate its running
at <Abaud>. Then change the Abaud before you jump out of the test drive
back to your normal setting... A "LOT" of these programs use different
parms, so if you have favorite settings in your tnc, you'd better do your-
self a favor... Do a listing of your tnc settings an do a screen print out.
This way you can see the differences in the different programs an tailor
the parms to your liking...
Hope this helps...

I was wondering what the maximum legal baud rates for the 160, 80, and 10
meter bands are.  If there is no "maximum legal," what are the maximum
reasonable rates for these bands (without causing interference to adjacent
frequencies)?  I thought I saw it in the ARRL Handbook, but if I did, I
can't seem to find it anymore.

Does anybody know which company makes digital PLL/receiver
chips that provide clock extraction (correction of the local ossc.) as
well as the data of the incoming baseband signal of about 3 Mbps?

In particular I'm looking for a small and simple chip, possibly
in CMOS with low power consumption to be used in wireless communications.

Thanks for your help!

Hello, Glenn -

There was a similar thread on here a couple of months ago, but I don't
recall that the 'solution' was ever written up so I'll do it now.

Some 486+ computers with some BIOS set a system timer (Timer0) to the
'wrong' mode (Mode 2) for some BayCom-type programs.  You didn't say
anything about your computer or the actual software you are using so
this may not be your problem, but it sounds familiar.

One solution is to run a program called PMPFIX10 by KM6PI before you start
the BayCom-type program (there are too many to try to name them all, so
I'll use BayCom-type to mean a program that acts like a TNC in software
and uses a simple modem for the computer/radio interface).  If you can't
find this program on the net, send me a note and I'll send it to you
uuencoded.  It's freeware and includes the C source code and a small
,DOC file.  Uuencoded size is about 10k.

If you are using AX25.COM by Pawel Jalocha, I can send you a couple of
replacement procedures which will make the Timer0 mode change.  You'll
have to recompile it.  If you are using BPQAX25.EXE by G7JJF, I can send
you BPQBAX25.COM by myself which is a plug-in replacement, and has the
Timer0 mode fix incorporated into the AX25 'kernel'.  Incidentally, it
was G7JJF who rooted out the PMPFIX program for me when he was testing
my variation of the original AX25 code for BPQ and found that neither
program would work on his new Pentium, although BayCom did work.

If you are using something else, you could either run PMPFIX or, if you
have the source code for it just modify it to set Timer0 to mode 3 before
starting the rest of the code.

Hope this helps.  Send me a message if you need 'one of the above' via
email.  73

 There are only 2 authorized vendors of Baycom 1.6 software here
in the US. PacComm is one; I forget the other. It is very forbidden
to put 1.6 on any BBS or FTP site. But, it is quite permissable
for one ham to make a copy for another Ham, this is stated on the
Baycom docs. So, if you wanted a copy of 1.6, I can discuss giving
you an individual copy. We can talk further over email, if you like.

Version 1.6 of the Baycom software is distributed commercially.
A prominent note in the instructions says that the purchaser
should not upload Baycom 1.6 to any system.

 Not so, try ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/ham/packet/baycom

 I think baycom1.5 is there, but so is another program called mubay, which
is great! it's a _LOT_ more user friendly than the baycom software, and
it's in English

 Have fun, Max..

I haven't had any problems with it. Proper TNCs have the following
advantages:

        different modems (like 9600 baud) can be attached
        multi-tasking works
        work with any computer
        work with computer switched off

The disadvantage is that it ties up your $3000 computer doing bit
banging better handled by a $5 Z80. If you've got nothing else for
your computer to do, it works adequately for 1200 baud AFSK.

Hi Folks,

   I'm wondering if anyone else on this newsgroup has been experimenting with
part 15 spread
spectrum for high speed digital links.  The price of this equipment has really
 come down over the
past year.  About two weeks ago I installed a 3 mbit/sec link between my offic
e and my house
using Breezecom equipment.  I now troll the internet at the full T-1 rate that
 is available in my
office.  The equipment on the office end cost about $1200, but could allow (th
eoretically) as
many as 64 people to access it.  The equipment on my end is on the order of $6
50.  It runs spread
spectrum between 2400 and 2484 Mhz.

   The antennas involved are small patch antennas (a la P3d) and I was repeate
d told by several
companies that they came with "proprietary" connectors so that you could not h
ook up higher gain
antennas.  Imagine my surprise when they showed up and appeared to have standa
rd SMA connectors
on them.  BreezeCom is about to start selling a small dish antenna that they c
laim will extend
the range of their equipment out to 20 miles or so.  This raises a number of i
nteresting
questions:

1. Given that these are Part 15 devices (no license required) it would seem to
 me that they could
be used for amateur packet radio backbone purposes.  It does not seem to be si
gnificantly more
money than many folks are now spending for 19.2 Kbit stuff.

2. I remember back in the days when we were wrestling with the FCC over unatte
nded HF operation,
Phil Karn wondered out loud whether we might be better off packing up packet r
adio and moving to
the unlicensed band.  I wondered at the time if he was serious, but I'm wonder
ing a good deal
less now.  Many people in these parts are greatly enjoying keyboard to keyboar
d QSO's via amateur
gateways to the Internet.  The principal reasons they can't get full internet
service this way
are A. Amateur Packet is too slow, and B. The Internet involves commercial com
munication.  I
don't think that it is beyond the scope of possibility that in some communitie
s it might be
worthwhile for a amateur (or other) club to fund one or more access points tha
t it's members
would then use in their homes to access the internet at speeds significantly f
aster than ISDN.
The rub here, of course, is the cost of the Internet connection from the acces
s point, but still
I wonder if there aren't some possibilities here.

3. As I understand it, the current spread spectrum STA involves frequencies th
at are
substantially lower than this and that the users are pursuing data rates that
are substantially
slower than 3 mbit/sec.  I wonder if the ARRL's petition now before the FCC wi
ll clear the way to
use this commercial equipment with amplifiers in the amateur bands.  The unit
I am currently
using runs 50 milliwatts.

I've posted this article in part to bring this to your attention because the t
echnology is
interesting and relevant, but mostly to determine whether anyone else on this
group is
experimenting with this kind of equipment.  I'd like to compare notes on range
, operating
conditions, antennas, etc.  If there is sufficient interest I would be willing
 to use my server
to host a mailing list devoted to this subject.

This was discussed at some length on some of the other usenet groups.

Obviously, the '345' is incorrect, since it is >255.  The conclusion from
the other group discussions was that the '345' was put in there on purpose, ju
st
like all the phone numbers in movies start with 555-XXXX.

I just saw "the Net" last night.  A good movie!  Did y'all notice the
interesting choice for the villain's IP address? 128.25.345.200.  Most
of it was pretty accurate technically.  The hit man obviously new his
technology (albeit not quite correctly) when he asked for the cell
sites that a phone could hit so he could triangulate the location of
the hero (I never liked heroine for a woman. sounds too much like a
bad substance!).

   Does anyone know of someone who is involved with the creation/sales of the
SofTNC  software which was sold by J-COM , and now Ramsey Electronics, I
guess?  I dumped by BayCom software for my BayPac modem and went with this
SofTNC program when I tried it.  Very simple and elegant.  No unecessary bells

and whistles.  However, I was hoping to find a version newer than the original
1.0.  Please email any info regarding this to:

Hello Andy,

>So what i was wondering is, if i get a C complier, how do i go about
>recompiling it from the source code ?

If you go to ftp.ucsd.edu, you'll be able to download the source code for Jnos
. It's up
to version 1.10M which has just been released. I would recommend using Borland
s
C+ version 3.1 or higher to compile it with though. Be careful on which versio
n of
Tasm you use. It will make a difference on your source setup.

It has probably placed your TNC in "Host" mode; you probably like to
have it in Converse mode.

If you recall what speed you were using for the Gold demo, match
that speed with your terminal program (if it differs) and attempt to
send three plus signs. Some TNC return to converse mode with that
sequence.

Alternatively, set your Other tnc program to Host mode and off you
go!

Hi,
    A week or so ago I posted some preliminary results of experimental part 15
 3 mbit/sec digital
links that we have been playing with at SUNY-Fredonia.  Since then I've receiv
ed quite a number
of inquiries about the equipment and its performance.  Interestingly enough, m
ost of the replies
came from folks who were not necessarily hams, but were interested in specific
 commercial
applications of this technology.  In order to facilitate communication between
 those who are
interested in this stuff, I've initiated a list on my own listserver.  I will
post the results of
our experiments there and I hope that others will do the same.  We are expecti
ng this week to
receive some higher gain antennas which should let us stretch the range a bit.
  If you are
interested in participating (or eavesdropping) you may join this list by sendi
ng a message to:

[e-mail]

with a text (not subject, but text) of

join wireless

Thanks for the bandwidth.

In addition you should also try Plessey Electronics in the UK (Swindon) who do

a range of PLL devices for receivers and transmitters. Also part of their rang
e
are full synthesizers, VOGAD's IF amplifiers, Pre-scaler dividers atc.

One phone number I have is for the Plymouth office who should be able to re-

Just to add another manufacturer: Check Temic Telefunken, e.g. U2784 dual PLL
up to 2,2GHz.

As listed in Part 97.307(f)(3) and 97.307(f)(4), data transmissions
may not exceed 300 baud on HF bands other than 10 meters. On 10 meters
a maximum baud of 1200 is permitted. Note: baud != bps for some modulations.
Baud is symbols per second, but symbol overloading may allow more than one
bit to be transmitted per symbol. So data rates considerably higher than
300 bps are possible on HF.

Total frequency shift (if used) must not exceed 1 kHz, and total
occupied bandwidth must not exceed that of an A3E phone emission
per 97.307(f)(2).

Now that's legal, but what's practical? On fading HF circuits, baud in
excess of 50 will suffer severely from intersymbol distortion. That's
one of the myriad reasons 300 baud HF packet sucks so badly. Nor will
more power generally help, since the interference comes from your own
transmission delayed by the ionosphere. If you increase power, you
increase the delayed signal's strength too.

The answer is to use a low basic baud while utilizing symbol overloading.
Clover II uses 31.5 baud as the basic symbol rate. By overloading, bps
up to 750 can be achieved with 16FSM if SNR is adequate. Other overloadings
are possible, of course, notably QPSK and QAM. For ARQ protocol modes,
use of FEC is highly recomended. HF channel errors are typically burst
errors, so a FEC method strongly resistant to burst errors should be
used. A technique called "interleaving" is highly recomended. That has
the effect of "smearing" burst errors throughout the frame, allowing
simple error recovery methods. (Convolutional coding has the same effect
for non-block oriented transmissions, but if you use the more powerful
Reed-Solomon block codes, interleaving is a must.)

Typical HF practice is to use the minimum possible occupied bandwidth
as an interference control measure, but for best weak signal performance,
use of the widest permissible bandwidth in conjunction with proper signal
correlation in the receiver will yield the best results. That's a non-obvious
corollary of the Shannon theorem.

Don't know of one. I was on the HP-95LX development team and I used the 95
with the Paccom handipacket (still sell it and I still use it). It has
internal batteries and size of 1.5 cigarette packs. I used that, the 95LX,
Kenwood 215 and could put all that in a 10 cassette audio nylon case -- nice.

As for the PCMCIA device. I heard a few years back that a company in
japan was working on one, but it was not clear it could fit in PCMCIA.
It was the same company apparently that did the Heakit TNC (small portable one
).

As for the 200LX, keep in mind you are limited to 100ma at the port and at
that, it means very short battery life for the 200LX. I recommend the other
route above. It is not all that bad.

With the Paccom, you will be best off if you can get away from the rubber duck
antenna on the radio. I found the full size 5/8 or 1/2 whip works fine.
Just place things away from the TNC and 200LX. (The TNC is generating lots of
noise.)  I hear you can cut one of the clock lines in the TNC going to the por
t
(the clock is not used), and that helps a lot. I am not sure I saw much of
a difference. I also added a ferrite bead to the TNC cable to the radio.

(I suspect that is why Paccom only ships cables that are 6" long -- they
would radiate like crazy.)

I suspect the ones they ship today are better, but I do not know. Mine was
5 years old and just upgraded the ROM.

Good Luck.

PacComm has licensed the technology. They're currently importing the
German units until they can get domestic production started. I've seen
both the German unit and PacComm's US prototype, so they're real.
The German import is selling for $995. PacComm says the US produced
model will be cheaper here when it reaches market, hopefully this
quarter. AEA has announced that they will support PACTOR II on their
newest DSP box, no release date given. HAL has made happy noises about
doing the same on their P-38 card, again no release date has been
announced. I haven't heard a peep out of Kantronics about this. They're
pushing GTOR and don't seem too interested in other protocols (but
maybe they're doing something on the QT, I'm not privy to their
inner circle.)

Can anybody answer the following questions about APRS:

1.  Will it work with maps using grid coordinates, i.e. Irish National Grid
    or with a UTM type grid.

2.  If the idea I am following works and I want to exploit it commercially
    on a limited basis, who holds the rights.  With whom do I negotiate.

3.  Are any text descriptions/ manuals available.  The net sites checked seem
    to have executive programs only.

Due to a problem with my radio i can't send a message to another amateur via
the ax25 root, and i was wondering if it was possible to send it via tcpip
as he's got an ip address ??

If so, would i just send an email to him e.g. g7ueh.ampr.org ? or would i have
to telnet to his host ?  But as i see it this would cause another problem, as
in the uk at lot of machines don't accept connects from none 44. ip addresses,
so if i found a machine that would accept a telnet from me, could i then telne
t to his host ?

andy, g7ueh

p.s. is there a list of amateur ip addresses ??

connected to the RS232 COM2.

 My question is, how does the Ultimiter II makes the "Automatic Packet

Reporting System"? Where is connected the cable from the Ultimiter II, and

what commands must I give to the Kam?

 Please,if you can help me, send a packet msg to the adress:

JNOS is ported to LINUX and there is also TNOS which was written for
LINUX and later ported to MS-DOS
JNOS and TNOS sources include a LINUX makefile

I don't know to which extend SunOS and LINUX are alike however

As for the old ka9q nos I have no idea if it has been ported to a UNIX
environment

    : Actually, I believe I was first...

    I would think that the FCC would construe this as illegal behavior,
    tho, because you are using a scheme of "encryption" that is not widely
    accepted...  Maybe in your area, yes, but not world-wide, *yet*.

In general, you cannot use PGP under Part 97, except possibly for satellite
control under 97.211(b), as Part 97.113(b)(4) prohibits tranmission of:

    ... messages in codes or ciphers intended to obscure the meaning thereof;

However, you *might* be able to use PGP for *authentication* purposes, as
if anyone can decode the message, then (as i read it) this is not intended
to obscure but rather to facilitate communication, as it could be used to
provide additional identification, for control purposes, and to allow for
automatic retransmission of bona fide amatuer communications that would
otherwise require manual intervention.  Such use may well be acceptable.

Be aware though that other branches of government are seriously in opposition
to PGP, as it is a powerful tool that has many other uses which they would
not be happy with.  So, some degree of caution might be appropriate here, so
said branches don't put pressure on the FCC to prohibit things we'd like to
do.  Let me remind folks the author of PGP is currently involved in a legal
battle over PGP.

On the other hand, PGP may still be a very valuable tool if not over the air,
for example, for making sure that messages sent over the Internet intended
for retransmission indeed originate from another station in the Amateur
Service (this assumes, of course, that the PGP encoded part of the message is
not sent over the air).

Yep, it also works on a FBB-type bbs, but ONLY if the local sysop has
set up his listings compatible with GP. It has something to do with
the number of spaces between the From:, To:, etc... fields.

I am confronted with the same problem trying to use the 500 Hz CW

Jack,

It was in Ham Radio, Dec. 1989. Ham Radio was technically oriented,
almost professional level magazine. Some IEEE journal (Antennas and
Propagation amongst others) publish now quite similar articles.
In June 1990, Ham Radio was sold to CQ Magazine and since then, I haven't
heard anything from it. However, Buckmaster Publishing does sell
microfiche copies of Ham Radio. If you have contacts with a ham club,
university library or something similar, may I suggest them to get the
full set March 1968 - June 1990. Not even the oldest issues are fully
out of date, there are many ideas to explore.

I was a subscriber of the printed copy of Ham Radio in 1980's, this my
only connection to that magazine and persons who worked for it.

I have dabbled a little bit with various NOS versions, but failed to
find anything in any of the documentation that differentiates one from
the other.

What are the major differences/features of NOS, WNOS, JNOS, and any
other NOS that may be floating around out there?

I am now running Windows 95 on my machines with a full fledged TCP/IP
network in my home and would like to incorporate packet into this
network.

Are there any Windows 95 network drivers around that use a KISS mode
TNC and allow TCP/IP packet networking via amateur radio?

If the above is available, then one should be able to set up ftp,
telnet, etc. servers under WIndows 95 using standard shareware that
would interface to the amateur radio environment.

Anyone done anything like this?

Thanks,
Don - K9GR

I seem to remember seeing that an APRS windoews program is in the works,
but hasn't reached the stage of wide scale testing yet.  I am sure someone
has more definitive word but thought I would mention that!

Andy, http address is www.baycom.de  ....
Baycom software is not commercial but it does have conditions that
prevent its being put up on commercal BBS's. Baycom software is basicly
free and you may copy it from anyone but it may not be put someplace
and distributed in ways the authors do not approve of. When you
check out the baycom home page you can look up the rules and even
acquire information on how to get the software. The best way is
to find someone who is running it.

I suggest you get version 3.0   Also, as mentioned by others, I have
found quite a lot of the wide shift (>500 Hz) commercial RTTY is not
copied by hamcom, but all the amateur stuff works fine at 45 Baud and
170 Hz shift.

The opamp I use is the TL071 instead of the old 741. You may want to
check the supply rails to the opamp during operation to make sure the
+ and - levels are sufficient at all times. Alos, try swapping the
tones. Also, make sure signals are in the centre of the IF pass
band. I use a 500 Hz CW filter and tones centered around 800 Hz.

I ran some tests on 2 m simplex FM, and had no trouble running
anything other than AMTOR ARQ. The best mode was ASCII 8 bit at 200
Baud. The key-up delay of my HT proved too long for ARQ, you need a
pretty fast radio for that. You'll need to listen in on a SITOR ARQ
signal to nut out the clock correction as per manual. Mine is -2000
for a 12 MHz 286. I reckon the clock correction is only needed for
ARQ, with clockcorr=-2000 the clock counter does not move, however, it
does wander on FEC signals but never misses a beat.

I agree it is very nifty software. The best part is the spectrum
display, very handy for identifying shifts, and for calibrating the
readout of your radio with WWV. As a CW op, I was less impressed with
CW, the KAM certainly does that better, but then again, I have yet to
see a machine that copies CW properly.

Does anyone know what sort of RTTY is used by those non amateur
stations at 850...1000 Hz shift? Also, is there any software that will
copy WXFAX with a hamcom style interface?

Using Hostmaster with KamPlus TNC. Can't get the wordwrap feature to work. Pac
ket msgs are
still truncated.  Packet msg is being sent line at a time (in other words when
 one line is full
it is transmitted while typing the next line in msg).  Running through Windows
 and program
would drop out for no reason at all.  Went back to running through DOS only an
d am still having
problems.  We've reset the paclen to 255; wordwrap is set to ON. But spent two
 hours and still
not having any luck.

Can anyone help me out? Does anyone know if Hostmaster has a website or e-mail
 address.  Thanks
for any help you have to offer.

The production version of KaGOLD is a very excellent, user-friendly, etc.
etc. etc. product. The testdrive version sucks, however. It has not been
updated for years. In addition, it performs all sorts of reconfigurations
on your TNC that it does not bother to undo when the 30 minutes is up.
Even if you LOVE the testdrive (which I doubt, but you never know), it is
unlikely that you will call Interflex up and have a working version of the
software in a few minutes, so you may want to use your old software a bit
more.

My advice to people who are interested in KaGOLD is to STAY AWAY from the
testdrive version and go visit someone who is using the real thing to see
all that it can do. The testdrive has probably lost Interflex more
customers than it has gained them.

re: Getting out HOST mode

Tom:

The TNC is no doubt in HOST mode. Not a big deal, and it doesn't mean
that lots of TNC parameters have been changed. If you do a hard
reset, it will reset everything back to factory defaults, but You
don't need to do a hard reset !! You can exit from HOST mode easily
using any terminal program:

Get into your terminal program. Turn off the TNC and turn it on. If you
see   S00  (that is the letter "S" followed by two zeros) you are in
HOST mode. If you see junk, you need to set the program to 4800 baud
so that what you send to the TNC can be interpreted correctly.  Change
the baud rate until you see either S00 (surrounded by FEND characters
which look like box corners) or the normal CMD: prompt.

When you can see S00, simply send the TNC "FEND Q FEND" (three
characters) to pop it out of HOST mode back to CMD: mode.

HOST mode is the preferred way to run a TNC for a variety of
technical reasons, but programs like PAKTERM are not designed for the
TNC, they are what is known as "dumb terminal programs" and for good
reason as you have discovered.

Hi Robert, I to have the HP200 and would be very interested to know
how many replies you get! The HP200 is excellent for packet - I have
used the very small Baycomm modem which fits into a small 9 pin serial

Why run KA9Q?  If you want to do TCP/IP your kernel already does sensible IP
routing.  You just need to get the ax.25 kiss drivers.

If you can't find 'em, drop me a note.

There is a streams driver for SunOS that claims to support AX.25 to a KISS TNC
.
So you could do TCP/IP with all the native SunOS utilities.  I haven't tried i
t
personally.

At one time it was at ftp.ucsd.edu in /hamradio/packet/tcpip/sun.

For my $75 or $100 I'd pickup a used Palomar or RadioWest directional loop
antenna; as a second choice (for $30) I'd put up an outdoor antenna from
Radio Shack.
Third choice requires a lot of real estate: take a 2000 foot long
insulated wire, lay on the ground or 5-10 high stretched out in a straight
line towarsds the stns you want to hear.
Used during WWII to pickup Topkyo stations from Hawaii, and German
stations from England, the Beverage antennas (also called wave
antennas)(no it has nothing to with getting drunk, though all BCB DXers
imbibe a bit)(kidding!) have special characteristicsof extreme
directionality. Recently a bunch of Beverage nuts went to Newfoundland,
stretched out some Beverages and picked up AM stations from 100 countries,
including India, South Africa, etc.
(of course you could stretch a 400 mile longwire right to the station!)

Advice wanted:

I am trying to receive AM radio stations' signals in northern
California (I'm in southern California)
with ordinary stereo equipment.  Powerful stations like KGO (50,000
watts?) I can receive almost
perfectly (at night).  Other stations I try (at night) are either
barely audible above background
static (which makes it impractical to listen to) or weakly fade in and
out while periodically being
overtaken by some other signal (usually some weird music).

What is the best way at a reasonable cost ($75 maximum, preferably
$20-$50) to pick up these
stations better?  New antenna, receiver, etc?  Any recommendations for
brand, store, etc?  Is my
price restriction too low for what I want?  Is my wish beyond the
capabilities of radio waves?

If you can, please e-mail any advice/input/experiences to:

[e-mail]

Thanks in advance,
Brian Wight

I have had a problem with the internal BNC connection twice. You
notice that the set has gone very deaf and that you cannot get
into the local repeater. Each time I have found the soldered joint
from the centre pin of the BNC to the board to be the problem.

The position is a pig to get to and you have to remove the boards,
though you do not have to cut any wires or similar, just let them
hang loose.

After the second time it happenned I used a small bit of braid
solderd in to make the connection. It is a job the requires a
little patience but it worked and I have had no problems since (
must be about two years ago since I did the job.)

Stefan   G0BJW

Hello:

I have seen a large number of requests for various mods to commercial
rigs, mostly to convert them to 9600 bps packet, in this group and a
few others. While there have been a lot of questions, I have seen few
answers posted. I can only assume that these folks are getting answers
in mail.

Is there a site someplace that has the variuos mods for commercial
rigs?

If not, maybe someone with access to set up a page should think about
doing so?

Take Care & 73

I am looking at interfacing to my ft757 to my computer does anybody have
any information regarding software control code which are sent via an
interface?  Does anybody also know of the actual circuit used in the
FIF-232 interface?  I would think that it is simply a RS-232 to TTL logic
level job?
Any information would be greaty received

Hi Chuck, Could you say a little bit more about what was to do
to get the FT-990 noise blanker working. I have this transceiver since
Christmas and everything works fine execpt the noise blanker. It simply
does nothing. Is there an internal control to enhance the trigger level
for the blanker. Thank you so much in advance

The keying is totally electronic. Q48 drives a diode switch in the
9 MHz IF to key the carrier on and off. The relay you hear clattering
is RL1 in the filter unit. It's the TR relay. The only delay it has
is a 0.0047uf bypass cap across the coil. I don't think that's slowing
it enough to matter. VR109 is the CW waveform adjust. In conjunction
with C177 and C178, it sets the keying pulse rise and fall times.
Twiddling with it may improve keying. Otherwise, the problem is a
timing problem in the firmware between the time T8 is asserted and
the time keying starts (ICW asserted by IC10 pin 16). Since IC25
is both the keyer and the control uP, it's possible some timing
loop is nested incorrectly causing ICW to be asserted before T8
on initial dits.

I'm not a Morse operator, so I'll ask you to try this test. Set
the radio for manual keying and tell me if it chops dits when
the internal keyer is not used. If it does, then RL1 may be
mechanically too slow, and the source of the problem. If it
QSKs properly with a straight key, then the problem is most
likely in the firmware of the uP.

Yes, just unplug the 4 conductor plug from your AH2 controller unit
and plug it into the back of the IC706. Itll work fine. AH2 is the same
as the AH3 (AH3 just doesnt use controller)

Does anyone have and have you used the mod for the ICOM 2350H.  I have
the sheet from Icom showing the two diodes and the wire that is
affected.  I also have the mod listed here on the "net".
However after opening up my 2350, the diodes on the logic board don't
have matching numbers to either mod listed. Icom shows diodes D8 & D9.
The mod on the net shows diodes D9 & D10.  However my radio has D6 &
D7 in those locations.
Any info out there ?

Thanks, Mike  KI5DF

Is it possible to expand Icom IC-T22 TX frequency range to at least

I need it to communicate with paraglider pilots in Poland who use the
frequencies around 160MHz as well as with hams at 144-148MHz.

Thanks for helping me.

The production version of KaGOLD is a very excellent, user-friendly, etc.
etc. etc. product. The testdrive version sucks, however. It has not been
updated for years. In addition, it performs all sorts of reconfigurations
on your TNC that it does not bother to undo when the 30 minutes is up.
Even if you LOVE the testdrive (which I doubt, but you never know), it is
unlikely that you will call Interflex up and have a working version of the
software in a few minutes, so you may want to use your old software a bit
more.

My advice to people who are interested in KaGOLD is to STAY AWAY from the
testdrive version and go visit someone who is using the real thing to see
all that it can do. The testdrive has probably lost Interflex more
customers than it has gained them.

Hello, name is Morgan Hoaglin
I am looking for a working 440 Repeater for our local
Red Cross Chapter to put up.  I have cans and a assigned frequency pair.
This is for a good cause...you see...
What we have in mind is to use "cross band rpt" capable mobiles...
like kenwood 731... in the field so we can use 2m portables on low power
and crossband rpt back to chapter into our 440 rptr with our disigned
short squelch tail for quicker tx to rx delay.
tnx...de WW7B

[e-mail]    or

[e-mail]

p.s. we can do a thank you letter from our chapter which depending
on what your tax man says, might mean a deduction.

Howdy, I have run across a Collins T24S transmitter, originally used for
aircraft frequencies. I'd like to find any information on this
rack-mounted unit (schematics, etc) as well as applicability for use in
2M activities (it might even go 220, near as I can tell, but ???)

thanks,

Brian Moran, N9ADG

 Has anyone tried the new Comet Antenna
CA-HV Antenna with the Comet CF-530 with
their new Icom IC-706.
 A dealer in LA quoted about $170 US Dollars on the
Comet CA-HV and $130 for the Diplexer so that the one
antenna cable splits into two ports for the IC-706.
 Has any tried this Antenna without or with the Icom
Automatic Tuner (AT-180).
 This antenna covers 40meters, 15meters, 10meters,
6meters, and 2 meters all in one Antenna. The people
at Comet Antenna specifically made this Antenna for
the Icom IC-706 mobile radio.
 Any comments are appreciated!!
Answer via internet, since there are many IC-706
owners out there that may be interested in info on
this!!

Would you be willing to post a review of the transceiver?  I would be very
interested in knowing more about it from the point of view of someone who
has used it on the air.  QST ran a review of it several months ago, and it loo
ks
good, but they didn't say anything about how loud the keying was when
operating full break in, etc.

As long as you don't store/carry the fba-14 in a manner which would
allow its terminals to be shorted out I don't think it really
matters. I have used Ni-Cds, Alkies, and currently  am using
Lithium batteries in my ft-51r.
BTW you cannot charge the batteries WHILE they are mounted in
the fba-14 case as the charging terminals are absent. The
external power terminals are there however and I have used the
EDC-12 to power the radio with the fba-14 mounted.
Also, using the fba-14 case it did not matter which battery type
I used, I could only get about 1.5W out on VHF with my ft-51r.
(UHF power out is unknown as I don't have a UHF SWR/PWR meter yet.)

Well, here are some facts that are also worth mentioning:

1) The modules contain a front end pass band filter for RX,
which is generally missing from other rigs, and which is very valuable
in crowded parts of the world.

2) Surely the frequency locked VFO is more sensitive
than a synthesizer. Do not forget that in return you get
a nice and clean signal with very low sideband noise.
(wich, incidentally, helps a lot on receive also).

3) combining good RX signal handling with low current drain
in a receiver is about as impossible as combining low current drain
with high TX output power.

I'm looking into buying two HT's for myself and my wife.
We're interested in dual band (144/440) HT's small enough
to carry around all day in a purse or backpack.  We're
getting some gift certificates to help out, so will buy
new equipment.  However, I've been out of the ham scene
for awhile, so I'm not up on all the latest gadgets HT's
have nowadays.

So I'm looking for any advice -- especially about companies,
which are good, which are bad.  Also any comments on specific
radios people like/dislike, and what extras are really handy,
and which just add weight.  Thanks for any comments!

In the latest issue of _QST_, there's an ad for TEN TEC kits (I know
they've had a kit division for some time, but I don't think I seen an ad
before).

They advertised a six meter mobile FM transceiver kit.  It sounded pretty
nice for $195, but it was only 5 watts.  They had an additional power
module for the two meter version, but said FCC regulations did not permit
the extra power module to be sold for the six meter version.  What's that
all about?

The kit's not available until 2/96.  Anyone have more information about
it?

Thanks,
Chet, AA1EX

Good point.  Besides, the TEN-TEC amp is advertised as 30 watts--hardly
the kind of power which will turn the head of an avid 11 meter fan!

Sounds to me like TEN-TEC is being a bit over-sensitive and I've written
them to make that point.  I also suggested that they sell the 6 meter
transceiver kit as a 30 watt unit (for more $, obviously).  That way,
they aren't selling a 6 meter amplifier.

Sure. SSB output power is proportional to microphone gain. Turn
the mike gain down, and your power goes down. Turn it down enough,
and you won't be putting out any power at all. Think about it.

One thing the ICOM 706 DOES not HAVE, is a triple conversion receiver,
my Kenwood 690 outperforms the receiver of the 706, much quieter, much
more selective on HF and 6 meters.

100 watts on 6 meters doesn't sound any better then 50 when the bands
are open! The 736 is a wonderful radio and really outperfoms even my
690...so, it just depends on what you really want to HEAR on the HF + 6
side.

The 2 meter reciever IS a triple conversion according to ICOM....so at
least that side is up to PAR...

For the money and the bands covered, the 706 is really quite a package..

I have a Heath HW9 with WARC band pack, which I love.  But I bought
it at a Hamfest, and never did get the manual.  I would be happy to
pay for copying, or to copy the manual myself, paying shipping in
both directions.  If you can help, you may respond here, or email me
at [e-mail].  Thanks.

I am looking for a decent soft case for the Radio Shack HTX-202 2-Meter radio.

The one that Radio Shack sells really sucks, don't buy it.  Unfortunatly even
though the case design is similar to an ICOM, ICOM has told me that none of
their cases will work.

Any info will be greatly appreciated!!

I am looking for anyone who has specifications for tower trailers.  I
would like to build one and have a heli arc welder available.  A new
one may cost more than $5000-$1000.

If anyone has some blueprints to share please e-mail me.  I would
appreciate it very much.

    I picked up a used Astatic D-104 mic that I'd like to connect to
  my Yaesu FT980 HF rig.  The cable (currently no plug) on the D-104
  has one each red, black, and white wires, plus the shield.  The
  Yaesu uses an 8-pin mic plug.  Could someone send me the wiring
  scheme as to which color wires go to which pins on the plug?

    After waiting over a month, I finally got my new Tech+HF callsign
  from the FCC!

        Try February QST, 1993 page 37.  Less than $10 to make and works

I might be getting a used Yaesu FRG 7700 as my base SW unit. It's beign
offered for $275, is this a fair price? Also, is this a fair radio? I'd
like to use it with a TNC to recieve FAX and RTTY. Sound good?

Any comments appreciated!

I'd be interested too. I've got my wifes old ST sitting in boxes in the baseme
nt
waiting for something to do. Maybe I could put it on my home IP network
and use it for something. Otherwise - will anyone make me an offer for it?
It's got a C compiler and LOGO interp. Maybe I could rewire the color monitor
cable for VGA? Anybody done that?

There seems to be a bit of interest in 9600 baud radio mods and hookups.
Some of them work, some don't.  Has anybody assembled a FAQ for this?
If not, send a description of what you use for 9600 packet and I'll assemble

There are at present dozens of radio teletype systems on the air other
than standard Baudot ('RTTY') or ASCII. I have no experience with
hardware decoders, such as the models produced by Universal. Over the
past years I've been using the 'Code 3' software, developed in the
Netherlands and widely available in Europe. It's easy to use and includes
dozens of modes and several useful signal analysis tools. It also
tells you automatically what system you are receiving.
Only problem is PC-generated interference (which you wouldn't have with a
hardware decoder); the advantage is that received signals and messages
can be automatically stored on your hard disk for later reference.

Hello

Does anyone know if there is some kind of free software (Windows) that
decodes digital radio, and uses a sound card input jack rather that an extra
piece of hardware?

Thank you

Hi Gang:

I'm in the process of converting my ethernet based LAN to use my block of
Amateur Radio IP addresses assigned to me by my local coordinator.  I'm
planning on dedicating one of my PCs to act as a gateway between the ethernat
LAN and the radio.  The PC I tend to use is an NCR 386 DX which is
MicroChannel based, (IBM PS/2 compatible).  I wil drive the TNC and radio
through the serial port, and connect to the rest of the LAN via a Western
Digital ethernet adapter.   I have poured through the doco on JNOS and have
not found any info on whether or not JNOS can talk to MicroChannel Ethernet
adapters.

Is anyone running a JNOS gateway on a  MicroChannel machine?  If so, is
there anything I need to be aware of?  Any hints or suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

If there is a packet driver available for the card, it should work
with JNOS.  Check ftp.crynwr.com.

I picked up a Zenith Supersport 386sx laptop (ugh it is heavy!)
for use in mobile APRS.  I keep having trouble with the power
sentry powering it down after 10 t0 20 minutes even when I am
running 13.8v directly to the power jack (Zenith says not to do
that but to go thru the battery pack - but that shuts it down
even faster). Anyone know how to disable the auto-power off
feature, I dont need it anyway since my use is strictly mobile
with this beast.  Also, anyone have any experience changing
(upgrading) the hard drive, have been told it is IDE but also
heard it has a propriatary connector es bus.  Thanks for the
help.

I have two of the veritable beasts.  As I recall from the tech specs from year
s
ago, they are NOT 13.8 volts, but slightly MORE.  The power pack that comes
with them that feeds the battery pack and the unit is higher by a little or so

than the 13.8 volts.  What I think is happening is that you are discovering
that the shutdown ahppens when the unit finally decides that the final line
voltage in the unit is too low after some of the in-line resistance has gotten

nice and hot.  Poof - undervoltage sense.

I could be wrong.  I think I asked Pat a ZDS engineer up in Dallas one time
about using them for mobile service and he told me it would never work, in
the long un, off a 13.8 volt line.  I wanted to do the same thing you are
trying to do and he told me get a DC to AC converter and bring it back down
to the ZDS external power cube, then to the box.  No workee elsewise.

The internal drive is a CONNER drive, if my memory is right.  There is an
80 MB drive I recall can be substituted in them from CONNER.  You have to
be careful, because all CONNER drives are not created equal.  You THINK
they are.  Recall the story about the two bumble bees that flew into an EXXON
station for fuel.  One hung near the regular pump, one near the the extra pump
.
The attendant was wiping the feelers of the bee at the regular pump and asked,

"I don't understand, you look a like, buzz alike, take on fuel alike, why are
you here and he is there?"  The bee replied, "I am a regular bee, he is an
Esso bee."   Bee careful.

Henry Fale, now deceased, may he rest in peace, published the trade rag
HSCOOP for ZDS faithful for years.  In one of the articles in them several
years back was the complete procedure for trading out your 40MB drive for
the 80MB version.  It had all the regular bee part numbers and the Esso bee
part numbers for you.

I have found that these units WILL tolerate MS DOS 6.2x and WILL remain
stable with the MS version of DISK TROUBLER, pun intended.  Further,
they can be used with QEMM version 7.4 or so with that disk compressor
to get you some help on hard disk size.

The unit may be heavy, but outside of the problem of the flex cable getting
stress riser cracks where the case lid folds, they are VERY good products.

It is named Kantronics because they are in Kansas. The
confusion above is because the make a TNC called a KAM. That
stands for Kantronics All Mode.

Nope, it's Kantronics if you're talking about the TNC company.  It's
Hamtronics if you're talking about kits.

Hello friends !!

        First of all, thanks for reading this message. I'm a 20 year old student of T
elecomunications Engineering, now I'm ending my last year in the university an
d I've got to make a project to get my graduation. I wish to do the project in
 a foreign company, and so I write you to ask for any company or research cent
re where I can do it. My target is to get a place to do it and then apply for
a Leonardo European Comunity 'beca'. So, for the European Comunity will give m
e some money, I don't want the company to p
ay me much money (but some). About the schedule, I'm interested in starting af
ter July and to work there for 6 or 9 months aprox. The area I would want to w
ork obviously is Radio, Digital Links, Electronic Design, ... or technical sof
tware programmer.

        Maybe, this is not the plae to put my message someone may think, then sorry,
but I think that it is a way to communicate between hams, and to get contact w
ith people working in this area.

        Then, please, if you know any address of possible interested companies or you
 work in any Research Group, or, if you know anything that would interest me,
please write to me.

P.D.: I know english, german, spanish, catalan and some french.

 THANKS IN ADVANCE !!!!!!!!

All I can tell you is what they did to me quite a while ago.  While
the time has sort of smoothed over the rumples, the cost involved is
still vivid.

And the restriction remains.

Sure!  Just about any terminal software with work, such as ProComm.
There are lots of shareware packet programs available that will work
a lot better than the MFJ junk.  LanLink is real good if you use AMTOR.
PaKet is a nice packet/mailbox/mini-bbs program.  YAPP is a convenient
little program that will run off a floppy disk.  These are all avail
on most ham radio BBS's and FTP sites.

Hello,

I've got some problems running my JNOS110m. When booting JNOS, I have about
15% memory available. When I start a ax25-session, it drops down to 3%. Openin

another session is than out of the question.

How can I get more memory availble?

How much memory do you have available before starting JNOS?
Depending on options, JNOS typically requires between 400 and
500Kbytes.  If you are running anything else, try loading it in upper
memory if possible.  Even running emm386 with dos=high in config.sys
helps.  Also, there are some tips in the JNOS readme.now file about
making some of the video memory available, giving 704 to 736k total
DOS memory.  If you have options compiled in which you do not use,
they take up memory also, so you should compile (or get someone with a
BC compiler to compile for you) a version with only those features you
want.  Fortunately(?) BC will bomb if you try to compile in too many
of the options.   It has been my observation that with around 200K
available core after starting JNOS, operation is pretty stable.  Much
less than 70K or so is asking for problems.  It is quite normal for
the available core to go up and down a bit (some earlier versions
would only drop memory!)

Hi. My dad is a Ham operator, and asked me if there were some inexpensive
way to have incoming Morse code automatically translated and displayed on
a CRT. Since I know nothing about Ham radio, I thought I'd post here. I'm
sure what he wants to do must be possible; don't know about the inexpensive
part though. If anyone can help us out I'd appreciate it. I'd prefer that
responses be sent in private email, as I usually don't read these groups.

Thanks in advance.

The 1274 is pretty much a clone of the TAPR TNC-2, and the MFJ
1270/1274 manual was copied in most part from the TAPR documentation.
You can get a copy of updated (for 1.1.8) TAPR documentation from
ftp.tapr.org in /tapr/software_lib/tnc/tncdocs.exe.  Sorry, it does
not include a schematic.

  Well if what you wanna do is reprogram your phone, you can buy a handheld
cell phone programming device off of me for $3000.00 Plus S&H, I know it's
kind of pricey but it's a good deal if you call alot, it programms the
phones in under ten seconds. Notice: These Devices Are 100% Legal.....
If you would like more info E-Mail me back. Thanks

Well, here I go again, I've been looking for this information for some time
now and hopefully SOMEONE has SOMETHING.

I have a few Novatel model 8305A cellular phones that I wish to convert over
to 900MHz.  They are black, square, about 10" x 10" x 2".

At the very least I need a schematic, but full service information would be
nice too.  I understand that there was a Novatel Amateur Radio Club at one
time and they did just this, converted them over to 900MHz for packet.

Any info would be appreciated and I of course will pay costs of copying and
shipping if necessary.

Please reply via e-mail...   [e-mail]

Have tried that, doesn't help.
In the NOS FAQ says only need TD RD and ground.
Perhaps is incorrect order of statements in autoexec.net ?
Maybe need to somehow tell PC to be a server, so when the other
tries to connect it responds, at the moment is nothing on line,
except when doing the tip command ?

You can use a copy of THS put out by HB9CVV, Pete, to drive either the
AEA series of TNC's which he uses, or the 8DED stuff as well.

The earlier version of the program PHS-250 didn't work well for me in
OS/2 but the THS-650 or THS-850, I can;t recall which at the moment,
DID work and works VERY well.

I was even able to use it well with the AEA PK-900, but I found I had to
set it up so that it did NOT re-initialize the thing on start up quite the
way it was suggested.

It also does not hold the buffer up for inbound stuff on exit so that you can
read all the stuff that has happened when it was shut down like the AEA
program.

If all you want is ONE comm port program going, there is nothing wrong with
using the later version of the AEA PPWIN program as a DOS VDM session
program.  With SIO.153 and OSTSR to gain control if the hog-the-cpu free
running blitz these DOS programs create, you can run it just fine with the
AEA products.


In reality, THS is the only one of these OS/2 jewels I have ever been able
to get workgin wiht AEA well.  DRSI cards have some other solutions,
including the German stuff you are talking about.

Where do you start acquiring information about the 2 meter band and
digital radio? I am interested in acquiring the correct equiptment and
lisences to use the 2 meter band for marine communications....safety,
emergencies, news, e-mail, weather forecasting....etc. I live in British
Columbia and want to know how to begin? What book or what URL to check
out. Your suggestions greatly appreciated.

I have not been involved with ham radio for close to 10 years now. I left off
with packet radio in its' infancy on 2 meter. Could someone please update me
on where packet radio is at today, expecially with regards to:

1. Does packet radio use a graphical interface with the internet?
2. What are the speeds of the modems?
3. Is packet able to keep up with the 28.8 modems or faster?
4. What would be the advantage(s) if any to accessing the internet with
packet radio as opposed to PC's through phone lines?

Thanks,

In the Configuration menu (ALT-Z), there is a Keyboard MACRO selection
and in that there is a ALERTS settings, if there is any things listed in the
window there, when the program finds one of those strings in the incomming
stream it will ring the bell. The type of sound the bell makes is configurable
 from
the Comms Windows menu from the Config screen.

You might want to be a little more specific about the printing, is it when you
 have
logging turned on via the ALT-P? I don't have any problems, but I am using a
Panasonic Laser printer.....

FJ-1274, Paccom Tiny-2,
Baycom (if that counts), and a DRSI PCPA-2. None of these give me any problems

HF seems alright. But all the main packet frequencies on VHF seem to have an a

Any ideas? Thanks - Tim

If the TNC is going into "ERROR" state (and I am guessing that this is
happening in Pactor.  One of a few conditions may be happening.  The link has
truly
gone into a link error that it can not recover from or 2) you are using the
early version of PK232 pactor firmware,  in the first release of the PK232 Pac
tor
firmware it was possible to have the TNC go into ERROR state while linked by
issuing a TCLEAR (clear the contents of the TNC xmit buffer) to the TNC.  This
 was
corrected in a later release of the firmware.

One other possibility is that you or the other station have an incorrect ADELA
Y setting.
This should normally be in the range of 4 or 5 (maybe higher if the two statio
ns are
extremely close).

I had a similar experience with the HAL PCI4000M.  I could not maintain a link
.  After
making a change to that systems CS Delay parameter it virtually eliminated the
 problem.

I realize that the above do not answer the question of removing the VHF connec
tion
solving the problem.  You may have a cross-talk problem with the PK232 (I have
 seen
that at this QTH).

Hope the information is of some use.

We are interested in designing/acquiring/modifying a radio (digital?) for
use by a severely handicapped individual who was a student before a
terrible accident.  Only breath-control is practical in this situation.
Control of power and tuning are obviously the essential functions needed.
We do not want to reinvent the wheel, and are wondering whether anyone has
already designed such a radio/interface.  I'd be pleased to hear from
anyone on this subject, before we start from scratch.  The idea here is
simply to allow this individual to surf the radio waves, shortwave and
other, since disability prevents other activity.

Thanks very much for any assistance.

Very truly yours,

Try a computer controllable HF rig with the appropriate windows based
control software.  Use a breath control mouse substitute which is a more
or less off the shelf item.

Good Luck

I'm looking for some suggestions...Please!

Recently I have installed my packet software on another computer.  I
have encountered one problem.  The Astron power supply, which is only
about 6 months old, interferes with the computer.  The power supply
causes the monitor image to waiver.

I have two other computers and monitors in the same room, using the
same 100 power source (They don't all run at the same time!).  The
power supply does not interefere with the other two computers.

Any suggestions on where I begin to shield and filter to prevent this
problem.

Thanks for any help!

Try taking the output from the discriminator of a receiver tuned to the same c
hannel for the second scope trace.  Use a shielded dummy load on both TX and R
X.

You need to measure to delay from PTT to DCD at the receiving modem.
One scope probe hooks to the PTT line on the transmiting modem and
the other to DCD on the receiving modem.  Then, connect a low frequency
square wave generator up to PTT so it gets keyed on and off at a steady
rate.   The scope should be set to sync on only the leading edge of PTT.

I used this method to measure the PTT to DCD delay on the 56k modems
I've been designing.  The number I got for them was 3 to 5 milliseconds.

Does anyone have experience with the Viewport modulator/demodulator
for SSTV. It connects to your printer paralell port. I am thinking of
getting one and want to know if they are any good. Thanks.

When did LL Grace stop marketing the KCT?  I just successfully
ordered 2 of them about 3 months or so ago.... and will
probably get more in the future unless they really have
discontinued it.

Give the UCSD FTP site a try;   ftp.ucsd.edu in the hamradio/packet/tcpip/inco
ming

I think it is in that directory, or near there anyway....

Look for a tar, called ax25-utils-1.3.46.tar.gz
I think that's what you're looking for.  It's a lot of goofy software, so
don't hold your breath on getting too excited...

A local amateur is using it.  He has an ethernet card in the machine,
and uses a separate machine (his old DOS machine) running NET to do
the AX.25 handling.  Just set it up as a router and you can do TCP/IP
using the standard Win95 stuff.  (and Netscape etc)

AND!  That's the best way to do it!

You could also dedicate a serial port (SLIP) link if you can't afford
ethernet (ethernet is about 50 bucks a card).  But JNOS 1.10m is the
state of the art.  There are others, but in my opinion: they are crap.
TNOS is crap, Linux AX.25 Kernel is crap, etc.  The best debugged
model is JNOS 1.10m.  Get it from:

ftp://ftp.ucsd.edu/hamradio/packet/tcpip/incoming

Shut off all the bullshit (there's a bunch of dumb stuff in there), and
you have a great system for the low baud rate stuff.  As you get up
in speed (56k) you can just drop all the AX.25 crap and go direct VFR.

An IBM XT clone is overkill in this application, a 286 is a screamer :-)

Hello group,

I have been trying to get a couple of Arcnet cards working for about a
month now without success. I posted several times but did not get many
responses. I decided that maybe these cards were not very popular. I
saw a few messages from people using ne2000 cards with success so I
bought a pair.

I have Wnos/Jnos running in a 286 and Windows 95 in a 486. I am using
the ne2000 driver from Crynwr, Winpkt and Trumpet Winsock. I have been
using this setup for a few years in Win3.1 ( Using slip mode thru the
com ports). The cards are talking to each other, leds are flashing but
I get no connections. Trumpet trace says 'Unknown TCP'.

I will eventually use the Win95 tcp/ip but would like to get the link
working first with trumpet since I know that setup is working in slip.

Can anyone guide me to the next step ?.. What test should I do next..

Thanks in advance.

Jean-Pierre.

There are gateways between the Internet and packet radio. They are
like repeaters in that they operate at the discretion of their
supporters. Maybe someone knows of one that is presently operational
and dependable.

I will share a bad experience with my PK232MBX.

Using Pactor, my PK would occationally, maybe every 1/2 hour,
go into the ERROR state (error lite on constantly).  It will go
into that state even when there is a very strong signal.  It will
not go out of that locked-up state until there is a disconnect
caused by manual intervention, or by timeout.  Then a reconnect will
work very well.

I called AEA, and the technician said it sounded like RF was getting
into the box.  After checking out my setup, I verified all connections
were equipped with torroidal chokes, except one which is connected
to my VHF rig.  I pulled this lead off of the PK232, and the problem
was solved, apparently.

Has anyone else observed the PK232MBX to be so RF sensitive?

Hi,
I've recently installed Linux on my PC and I'm interested in using
this OS for packet (AX25 & TCP/IP).

The HAM-HOWTO says to switch a TNC into KISS mode. However, I
dont have a TNC and I don't really see the point in buying one only
to switch off most of its functionality.

My question therefore is: Would it be possible to use a Baycom style
modem instead of an expensive TNC ? Or how about some kind of
adaptor for an external phone modem ?

Any help gratefully rx'd. (By Email please).

This crops up from time to time. L.L. Grace is indeed producing
the KCT and KCT/T boards. They have dropped the DSP-12 product
which, I suspect, lead to these rumors.

If L.L. Grace di go out of the KCT business I expect someone else
would pick it up as it is the defacto standard of the amateur
satellites.

  Hi - I've been running JNOS for years on an IBM PS2 model 70 Microchannel
machine with a Western Digital ethernet card (the Microchannel version of
the WD8003) without any particular problems.  I recall there is some

You want Lan-link version 2.32 which is available in a lot of places. Use
the search engine on your browser and enjoy. Docs for the program are
non-existant but once you get it up and working you will really enjoy the

Fame, Fortune (Maybe), Big Science: All Free!:

For some months we've been running tests of throughput
in the HF TOR and packet modes over NVIS links in New England.
(See the Packet Perspectives column in February's QST.)
The tests, which also measure other things, are
completely automatic (connect, login, file upload to KAM BBS,
logout, disconnect), so receiving operators don't have to do
any real work or even be at their terminals.

We have recently expanded these tests to long-haul links
(500-1000 miles), and want to do more of that while distributing
the load and getting more variety.

What we need:

Stations in the SE US (say between the lines from Boston to Texas
and Boston to Florida), anywhere from 300 to 1500 miles from Boston.
(We'll gladly try other links, but with our antennas pointing south
and SW, these are the best bet.)

The stations need to be equipped with Kantronics KAMs that can run GTOR.

They need to have antennas that have a reasonable chance of
communicating with New England (beams nice, but omnis work fine).

Freqs will probably be 30m, 20m, maybe 17m, during the day,
80m, maybe 40m, at  night.

What you need to do:

1. Leave your rig on agreed-upon frequencies at agreed-upon times
2, Leave your KAM in TOR STANDBY, in BBS mode (if PC is off), with your
ARQBBS ON (for TOR measurements)
Or in command mode (for packet measurements)
3. Empty your PBBS when it's full (every coupla days, at most)

(Added bonus: you get to read fascinating, informative messages
over and over and over.)

If fame, fortune and hard science are your goals,
gimme (KB1JY) a shout at [e-mail]
(Any pubs will mention you prominently.)

Kantronics home page is: http://www.kantronics.com/

Been there since before Christmas, but a recent crash of our ISP caused some

In the seemingly eternal quest for native OS/2 ham radio apps, I've run
across a couple of packet terminal programs.

Unfortunately, almost everything available for packet radio is in German,
and not in English. I couldn't get #PR/2 to run...

My question: does anyone have a good list of OS/2 ham radio software
(with locations) that has English instructions?

Please email your answers directly!

Hi Les,
as far as I know Baycom doesn┤t work on any multitasking system at all.
Cuz┤ most of work is done on the PC it calls for the undevided attention of

Keep in mind the delay from PTT to RF is not the only factor in determining
the necessary TXDelay value.  Look at the audio output of a monitor receiver
to see the actual audio; some radios will start producing RF pretty quickly,
but time constants in the modulation chain can introduce significant delay.
I once heard a station on the air that took probably 500mS for the audio
to "fade in"; he could connect to local stations easily (because the
signal/noise ratio was good) but distant stations required a much
longer TXD.

I'd say look at both RF and received audio.

D*mn, I was wondering why the "Speed, Speed" reprint seemed so skimpy.
I couldn't believe it didn't provide any information about getting
the resultant bitstream into a computer.

If someone would like to snail-mail me a photocopy of the original
article, I will scan, OCR, and HTMLize it for hosting on the Web
server of anyone who would like to host it. Email me first so I know
it's coming.

Alternatively, if someone will also donate me a machine and a backbone
connection I will set up a Web server and put the article up myself. :)

Most people connect the modem to the modulator/disciminator, and try to
connect to the local bbs. If they get the connect prompt, they yell "IT
WORKS!" without looking any further.

The bit error rates, as published in the recent QST articles are a big
improvement. But most amateurs don't take the trouble of doing these tests.

I was told to edit the config.h (or was it .c) file.  But when I try to

I'm looking for plans for a simple (probably crystal-controlled)
transceiver that would be suitable for 9600 bps packet use.  Does anyone
know where I might obtain same?

My hand-held won't cut it, of course (PM instead of true FM), and I
can't really afford to buy another radio right now.

Also, I assume that a radio suitable for 9600 bps would also function
admirably at 1200?

Our organization has had a 9600 baud digital repeater operating in the
Denver area for the last 14 months.  This repeater supports the Northeast
Colorado TCP/IP Backbone.  4 Megabytes a day are being transfered thru
the repeater.

The repeater is built from a 25-watt UHF Motorola Micor modified for
duplex and 9600 baud data, a TAPR 9600 baud modem, an MFJ-1270B TNC just
used as an IDer, and the usual repeater stuff (duplexer, second harmonic
filter, control receiver, DTMF controller, feedline, antenna).  BTW, I
have full modification instructions available for the UHF Micor.

We operate the user stations with a TxD of 150 milliseconds.  Retries are
very low because all the user stations can hear each other -- NO hidden
transmitters!

Some info is available at http://www.rmsd.com/hamradio/dwg.html.  Ask me
questions if you don't find the info you need!

Well, I did a WhoIs search on Kantronics and came up with a domain
name of Kantronics.com.  So I tried http://www.Kantronics.com/ but
it seems like the only thing they have up is a single page with
four (4) "mailto:"'s on it for tech support, sales, intl sales and
commercial applications.

It would be nice to see some technical info up there.

It turns out that even the MC13055 can do 10 Mbps OK.  The speed
restriction appears to be due to the performance of the data slicer, not
the quadrature detector or fundamental bandwidth of the part.

The way I implemented it, I did not require rail-rail slew from the
slicer and it could toggle at 5 MHz OK if only a couple of volts pk-pk
was required.  The speed limitation on the link, as originally shown,
was due to limited bandwidth on the transmit side.  Bias-push tuning is
really not the way to get high information bandwidth.  I did it as a
demonstration of the utility of microwave and directional antennas for
highspeed digital networks rather than as a recommended implementation.
The receive side did recover data fine when driven with a microwave
signal generator FSKed with 10 Mbps data.

 My web page has some comments about higher speeds, different modulation
techniques and more desirable architectures for such hardware.

"packet driver."  Hmmm.  Nope, sounds too much like DOS.  What you
need is a VxD.  A virtual device driver.  I picture two types.  The first is
an Inter-Process Communications driver (IPC) (or a PIPE).  You could
then run JNOS in the background, and PIPE to the Win95 TCP/IP.
The second type would be an AX.25 device driver.  In this case, the
VxD would interface the serial port (or PI card) to the network layer.

It won't happen soon.

Here's a good path to go (already mentioned a week ago).  Use the serial
port in SLIP mode and run it to a junker 286 or 386.  Then run JNOS on
that.  You could also run PPP if you can figure out all the PPP switches in
JNOS.  You could even run Ethernet with a "packet driver" on the junker.

Film at 11...

You could. Any of the popular web browsers can be employed. But see
below.

>2. What are the speeds of the modems?

The typical amateur is running 1200 baud *half duplex*, and if he
needs relay nodes, the effective baud is cut in half for each relay.
It can be desperately slow. However, it doesn't have to be that way.
9600 baud equipment is available (though radio modifications are
usually required to make it work), and 19.2 kb equipment is available
(though it generally requires a special radio), and 56 kb *RF* modems
are available (where the modem is the radio as well).

>3. Is packet able to keep up with the 28.8 modems or faster?

The 56kb equipment can, with average file transfer throughput numbers
in the 3k-4k characters per second range. The typical half duplex 1200
baud equipment used by most amateurs, however, has an effective throughput
of 10 char/sec *or less* (usually less).

>4. What would be the advantage(s) if any to accessing the internet with

You can do it where there are no phone lines, for example while mobile.
With the low speed equipment used by most amateurs, hooking to the
internet for anything but non-realtime Email transfer is absurd, and
even that is painfully slow. With the faster equipment, it becomes
practical, especially at 56kb, even web browsers can be used effectively.
And while 49 times faster, a 56kb station costs about the same as a
1200 baud station (if you include the cost of the voice radio).

Typically, there is no TNC in the repeater data path. It's setup
just like an ordinary voice repeater. Some folks have a bit
regenerator between receiver and transmitter, but there's little
advantage to that in practice. The additional delay the regenerator
adds costs about as much network throughput as the few fringe
signals it may clean up gains.

If a node is co-located with a digital repeater, it may be bridged
off the audio path (and its PTT diode ORed with repeater COR) rather
than being supplied with its own radio.  Again, there is little
advantage to that over having the node located elsewhere in the
repeater's coverage. While the *repeater* is duplex, none of the
other stations in the net are, so the node behaves as if it were
just another user station.

The only necessary change in parameters for users is to lengthen
TxD slightly to allow for repeater keyup delay. The repeater is
just a bent pipe that removes hidden terminals from the network,
and makes every connection in the coverage the functional equivalent
of a *direct* connection, so there's no halving of effective throughput
by a digipeater. That offers a wonderful increase in total network
throughput, but there's nothing complex or magic going on in the
repeater.

Has anyone been successful using the standard Win 95 tcp/ip setup with
9600 baud packet on 440 mhz, (guess that doesn't really matter).  It
would seem that you with the right packet driver, use the existing
tcp/ip stack and any applications looking for that stack.

Michael,

We use a full duplex repeater here also. Although we use the bit regeneration
it is quite spunky(if 1200 is considered that!) hehe. As for software I would
strongly suggest you run TCPIP (jnos) which will allow much more control and
enhance the network with TCPIP. a very minimal PC (286) is all that is
required (along with tnc/radio) .
Good Luck on your setup.

I remember seeing a mod for the 430s, consisting of maybe 2 diodes
strategically placed :)  which allowed use of narrow cw filter in SB
modes.  I really need to use my 250 filter for RTTY.  Have done about
10 mods to my 430, and don't relish the thought of digging in again,
but its probably better than an op-amp or scf type solution. Anyone
remember this one?

The Icom IC-228 is a very poor performer.  Even after modifying the RX power
(to not shut off during TX), it stunk.  The basic problem is the range of
linearity of the modulator.  A redesign is necessary to take the linear
modulation and translate that into a very small amplitude range.

Most other modern rigs are the same.  9600 sucks on most everything with
these type of modulators.

The best radio on the market - price/performance - is the TEKK KS-900.
Its only shortcoming is the 1.5 to 2.0 Watt output.  But a brick fills in the
power real well.

Paccomm sells these with the correct wide filter.

Hi! I'm the proud owner of a new Kantronics KPC9612 dual speed
(1200/9600 baud) TNC. I have been playing, successfully, with both
vanilla AX25 and TCP/IP protocols for some years with JNOS, TPK, Paket
6, FBB ver.1.15c and others some in, and some out of KISS mode where
and when appropriate to the software. I have no problems with packet
radio and the hardware here has not changed at all except for the
acquisition of the above TNC.

My problem is this: I have been using JNOS110L (and M) with both this
TNC and another both of which went into KISS mode, no problems.
For some reason, the KPC9612 does not activate the PTT line in JNOS
yet it IS in KISS Mode as required. I have given it the proper
instructions to get it into KISS mode:- INT KISS
                                                           RESET
and it seems to go happily off and do that. JNOS does not appear to
know the TNC is there, it doesn't, as I said above, key the PTT lines
nor copy anything from the radio yet I know that the wiring IS
correct. In any case, I believe that the Xmit LED should come on when
the PTT line is being keyed with or without the radio connected but
nuthin' happens on that TNC. What makes it even more of a mystery, is
that without changing anything else, I can use another TNC in KISS
mode, configured on the same port, to work perfectly in JNOS and in
KISS mode. Even more interesting is the fact that the KPC works just
fine on normal AX25 software out of KISS mode on the same Comm port.

Am I missing something rather obvious or am I missing something rather
more esoteric to KAM owners.............???   I've read the TNC
book/manual, now I'm waiting for the movie.........

Thanks, Kam Owners, LOVE to hear from you........

73's de Bob.

You may also need to have TASM installed.  TASM, Turbo Assembler was
included with BC-3.1 however it is a purchase option with BC-4.0 and up.
TASM 5.0 is just about to be released.  Also there is a closeout house in
Seattle, WA that still has complete sets of BC-3.1 for a reasonable price.

I'm just surfing here but I do own a Sony shortwave and am looking for the
FAQ btw, I'm looking to see if a Sony IFC 2010 is worth getting repaired;
the switch doesn't work on the side of the radio where it turns on and
off, not the switch near the top of the digital dial readout portion.

But anyway, my wife is an occupational therapist and suggests the following:

Trace ResourceBook, 1996-97 edition
Waisman Center
University of Madison, Wisconsin

It offers assistive technologies for communication, control and computer
access. The terminlogy to use that you want information for is "sip and
puff" material.

Also try NARIC

Not necessarily. Receiver *recovery* time is often significant. This
is the time between the cessation of transmission and the return of
receiver response to normal. In some transceivers, this is the *dominant*
delay. And RF carrier sense *can* be faster than DCD state machine lockup.
It often isn't, but it can be. The main advantage of DCD state machines
is a reduction in falsing, not improved speed.

I'm an avid Internet freak (Also a Linux addict) using a 14.4 baud link
on my /only/ phone line.  Now this isn't my only phone line to due to $
restraints, just because my father will not get another phone line.  I
constantly get yelled at for being on the net (tieing up the phone line)
and are looking for alternatives.  I was told about Packet Radio from a
friend, who knew little accept the fact that it exists.  I don't have a
HAM amatuer license, but if need be, I can study and attain one.  But i'm
looking for internet access alternatives and will do almost ANYTHING to
get on the net via Packet Radio.  I just need to aska  few questions:

1) What hardware do I need
2) What are the highest speeds
3) What is the cost
4) What is the availability

I live in southwest Florida, in a county of 100,000 people.  I just want
to get internet access without tieing up the phone line.  Can someone
please point me to a FAQ or URL with information torwards my goal.


Thanks and if possible could you reply via e-mail because I'm no good at
weeding through usenet ;)

Yes,

You have to jumper the tnc audio output to high then use the
adjusting pot to get the proper deviation. If you don't have
a deviation meter just get a second radio and listen to your
signal compared to another to a known strong station in your
area. The good news is when you have the packet hooked up via
the port you can use the 5100 on voice also.
Hope this helps.

I have a Ten-Tec Omni-VI and a PK-232.   As long as the cables are
plugged into the radio, I have distortion on SSB.   I have done all of
the normal shielding and grounding stuff to no avail.   I have heard
of this problem in Kenwood radios.   Do you know of a cure???

What TNC are you trying to hook up to the 202?  Without that, it would
be hard to answer your question.

Has anyone had success using Kantronics' Packet Communicator 9612 in
conjunction with a Kenwood TH-79A HT?

I have wired the radio to the 1200 baud port according to the schematic
in the Kantronics manual for the Kenwood TR-2600.

When I listen to the audio (as in Calibrate mode) that is transmitted, it
is much softer than the typical packet signals. I have adjusted the level
internally to the max output, but still not loud enough.

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Jonathan

Let's include MARS within this as well.  MARS currently has a mailing

The common TAPR state machine DCD kit does allow the connection of an
RF-sensed carrier sense indication to be connected.  *If* you've got
a receiver that generates such a signal decently, this can prevent
the false DCD problem mentioned above....

>Also, when multiple speeds are used at a single station (as a method

.. and here, too.  However, if you're running multiple speeds on the
same channel, you ideally would have a DCD appropriate for each mode
connected together in a logical-OR configuration.  An RF-sensed
carrier detect may be good enough here, but the beauty of multiple
DCDs is that you could look at the DCD LEDs to see what is happening
on the channel ;-).

Technical solutions do exist.  Using a "TX-ID" board, which uniquely
fingerprints each transmitter and a PC one can "slectively" include or
preclude individual users.

The board was not meant for that purpose, but with just a little Basic of C
codes, it workd just fine.  It is especially easy if you have a single or
limited number of receive site.

Good luck and Have fun.

I'm looking for information from anyone who has developed a technique for
transferring CCITT group-3 fax (i.e., standard office fax machine data) via
radio. The "ideal" system would be one wherein a person at point A stuffs a
document into a fax machine and it comes rolling out of a fax machine at
point B, with the connection between the points being a radio link. But I'm
interested in *any* techniques being used to achieve fax-via-radio. (Note:
NOT WEFAX, APT or what-have-you. Just G3 fax!)

Thanks.

Mark and Keith Sproul should have a Windows version of APRS available at
Dayton.  They will be at the TAPR booth doing their thing -- so if you are
attending Dayton later this yera, plan on stopping by the TAPR booth.  You can
keep track of the updates regarding the windows version of software as well as
about everything related to APRS on the aprs SIG on tapr.org.  You can send
e-mail to [e-mail] and in the message body say subscribe aprssig
YourFirstName YourLastName.

There should be lots of APRS stuff happening at the TAPR Digital Forum and
PacketBash at Dayton.  Probably a SIG meeting on Friday after the Digital
Forum at the convention.  Then I know there is another meeting on Saturday
evening.  There should be APRS stuff happening at the PacketBash on Friday
evening as well.

Cheers - Greg, WD5IVD

[SNIP]

I'm not familiar with the magazine Ham Radio, but there is a web site
that might be it at http://www.hamradio.com
I've been looking into the 2Mbit data link article in the ARRL
Handbook and think that the easiest way to get the bits into
the computer would be ethernet.  If the data rate was raised to
10Mbits, it could be connected to a LAN by attaching an ethernet
transceiver chip (not controller) that works on just an electrical
level (no packet decoding).  The resultant full-duplex bit-stream
would then have to be sent to a full-duplex to half-duplex ethernet
converter.
        The problem with raising the data rate is the wideband FSK
chip, a MC13055, cannot reliably handle a 10Mbit datarate, maybe
an MC13155 could be used instead.  The MC13055 has an IF of 45MHz,
the MC13155 has an IF of 250Mhz.  On the receiver board a mixer
takes the difference of the 105MHz first IF and the 150MHz VCO.
If the filter after ther mixer were changed, could it be made to
the sum, therefore generating a 250MHz signal?  I don't know what
else may need to be changed to make this work, but databooks are
in the mail.

      all the above programs use the HAMCOM interface as described in the

      i think if you change your 741 chip i think you'll find it will be ok

Has anyone ported MSYS to Unix (specifically Linux)?
If not, has anyone had any luck getting it run under DOSEMU? Which is
what I'll try otherwise as soon as I get DOSEMU up.

That's a weird story.  The jerk behaves badly enough to be banned but is
obedient enough to obey your request that he voluntarily not transmit on
the legally licensed (input) frequency.  Were there some strong words of
`encouragement' that went with the banning?

I have been running Graphic Packet for OS/2 for a WA8DED TNC for about
3 months. The doc files are in Gernam but you can dope it out.
I haven't tried to run a KISS TNC with it as the drivers to interface
the hostmode terminal program to a kiss tnc seems to be DOS....

It is true that the use of DCD (in comparision to RF level or audio
level detection) does decrease falsing, but, as I recall, probably
the largest advantage of DCD in 1200 baud AFSK is the elimination
of delay in the receiver squelch circuitry.

Granted, receiver recovery time is also often significant; I had to
modify my Drake TR-22 to not mute the receiver during transmit since
there was an enormous RC time constant in that circuit.  However, receiver
recovery time shouldn't be part of the TX Delay equation; receivers
with poor recovery times simply should either be modified to have a
short delay or not used ;-).

Hello!


I'm looking for informations about RTTY, AMTOR, PACKET and PACTOR Mailboxes on
 all short wave
bands. I would be happy if you could send me any informations. It would also b
e interesting to
know more about the working times (UTC!) and frequencies of the boxes. When th
ere will be
enough OMs who help me making a list, anyone who contributed to this list will
 get it via E-

True.  I have added some extra txdelay to be used only in those cases
where the transmitter is keyed up immediately after carrier on the
channel drops, e.g. when replying to a transmission on a point-to-point
link.  Thus, the txdelay is longer in this case than it is when
transmitting on channel that was clear for some time.

This was required to run with a very short txdelay using commercial
trxes with slow T/R switching times.
(well, actually you would need the extra txdelay only when the first
packet in a transmission is destined to the station that last
transmitted on the channel...   maybe something to keep put the list)

>And RF carrier sense *can* be faster than DCD state machine lockup.
>It often isn't, but it can be. The main advantage of DCD state machines

An important disadvantage is that a marginal signal or a collision
is not recognized as a valid signal, generates no DCD, and is thus
transmitted over.
When two stations collide, all the others jump on top of that :-(

Also, when multiple speeds are used at a single station (as a method
of gradually increasing speed while maintaining backward compatability
for some time), state machine DCD causes unnecessary collisions.

I am new to packet.......Running a MAC Computer.
Question: which TNC?  I would like to do satelite work......not
interested in mobil ARPS. Is it worth to go for a PK96.....or just go
with a PK12 or some other basic TNC? I don't know anyone using
9600 baud. Is it worth it?

 hmm, although I haven't tried it, you should be able to run TNOS in the

tnos &

  Granted, you wouldn't be able to see any of the output, but it doesn't

Hello ..  I have decided to sell my KPC-2 Packet radio TNC and
Regency BTH-201B 25 Watt VHF Tranceiver crystalled to 145.01 MHZ.

I am asking $70 for the KPC-2 ALONE.
The KPC-2 With the REGENCY BTH-201B radio I am asking  $135
I will also be asking $5 for Shipping.

The Regency base station is all ready to go and is Currently wired and
working well with the KPC-2.  The base station has it's own built in
Power supply.  Size is approx. ( 15" x 9" x 3.5" ) Regency BTH-201B 25 Watt
VHF Tranceiver crystalled to 145.01 MHZ.  Receiver sensitivity and
selectivity has been recently checked on a 2400 Motorola Service Monitor
and checked up to factory specs.  Output power bench checked at 30 watts.

I am not interested in selling the radio seperate from the TNC, but would
be interested in selling the TNC alone.  If I don't sell them I'll
continue to use them, and If I don't sell the radio with it, I'll crystal
it for voice and use it there.


The KPC-2 has version 2.85 firmware and has PBBS, NODE, and DIGI
functions.  It's run well for the last 4 years without ever having a
problem.  It originally cost $170.  I orginally purchased the Regency
about 2 years ago from a friend for $60 and recrystaled and tuned it for
another $30 from Jan Crystals.  It works well and also has never given me
any problems.

I don't normally have time to monitor the news groups so any response to
this should be via e-mail or phone listed below.

Was the speed limitation caused by problems in the driver circuit or by
something inherent in the gunplexer? I mean, if you looked at the supply pin
on the gunplexer would you see a good 5 MHz square wave?

As my answer to the interface problem I designed a little circuit to replace
the 20 pin hydrid on the ARCNET boards found in this part of the world. I
hoped 2.5 Mbps NRZI would be within the capabilities of the link. I've
never found time to test it. If someone would like to try this approach I
could see if I could get the schematic into some sort of net compatible
form.

How do you manage to effectively ban malicious users from a repeater?
Of course this problem is known all over the world, but at least over
here we have not yet found an effective way of stopping them.  How do
you do that?

Go to the Arizona Repeater Association's Home Page to see how this is
done.  It involves actively pursuing people who engage in such
activity.  The ARA, as a matter of routine, has an interference
committee dedicated to tracking these people down.

Despite reports to the contrary, the FCC does frown on this activity,
and will enforce sanctions.  Just ask the people here in Phoenix about
that.  An NAL, Notice of Apparant Liability, carries a stiff monetary
fine, about $20,000 (US) worth and forfeiture of ALL broadcasting
equipment and license(s).

It has been reported to me, by Dan Ford, Commander of the SHERRIF'S
Ham Radio Posse, that they also plan to actively engage in pursuing
people misusing radio gear in Maricopa County.  I strongly suggest
that if you plan on jamming a repeater in Central Arizona, plan on
getting caught.

Unfortunately, the ARA has had, for the 3rd time its existence, had to
remove a member, by board action, for misconduct involving repeaters.
This "gentleman" is also facing stiff legal sanctions from the FCC.

In 1995, the 3 biggest abusers of ARA repeaters WERE caught, and
several others have been identified.

How good is an rf path? What is the chance that packet Node A can
connect to Node B?

NET/ROM and compatible (G8BPQ, TheNet, X1-J, K-Net, msys . . .)
network nodes calculate a number to describe path quality. This
article tells how the numbers are calculated and how some issues
affect their meaningfulness.

From the home page at http://www.idir.net/~medcalf/ztx/ you can link to

hello es tnx reading my questions,

1. some days ago I have put together an extra pc (running by DOS and WinWGs)
for ham related things. The other PC (for normal work ;-) has a ethernetcard
too and the net.drivers (netware and MsNet) are working well. But I can not
do a really remote. Means I would like to have control by keyboard and
monitor on the local pc but the programm itself is running on the other one.
I found some stuff for working by serial line but nothing for ethercards. (?)

2. the ham-pc should run WNOS. But I have some trouble to startup an tnc
running the wa8ded firmware. Knows someone where I can find the FAQs.

3. (sorry not a ham related one) I have to put a fone-line-modem to a
workstation running by AIX 3.2. I know some some stuff for Solaris-unix but
nothing for the IBM-unix. If someone has a hint I would be plaesed. To know
where is to find a FAQ would be helpful too.

I'm trying to use my AEAfax to receive FAX/RTTY.  But My computer
generates too much interfercne.  I know its not the
monitor,mouse,keyboard,&modem.  I've removed all and powered up CPU and
still get noise.  I've taken CPU to another room (on another electrical
circuit) and still get a +20dB noise level from CPU.  Now I'm on the
second story of a townhouse and my radios are only grounded to the
electrical system ground.  I'm thinking of running a ground wire from
second floor wind and driving a rod in the ground. Will this help?  I
know nothing about grounding.

signal processing boards for the PC?

1)  Is there a reference resource to get info on PC audio signal
processing boards & software?

2)  I have the SB-32 in a 486/66 with plenty of memory. But I've
had no luck finding software for the SB-32 that will do any
real-time DSPing. Can the SB-32 board be used as a real-time
DSP to take the audio line-out on my Grundig to clean up the
audio a bit?  Or if I want to use the PC, do I have to acquire a
full-fledged DSP board?

Most of the low orbit sats are 9600 baud.  You will want the PK-96 for these
birds.  You might want to consider AEA's new TNC as well.  It is the DSP-232.

It does all modes.

Hello. all Winpack Users..

I am running a newsgroup server (like Carbon Copy) that I wrote for
winpack.  I am currently running a winpack group which has over 30
members..

A couple of chaps have been writing some scripts, playing with the PGP
server and some interesting addons....  It's not going to set the
world on fire but it's good value.....

If you would like to join, either e-mail me or send me a packet
message telling me you would like to join.  I do not want to pass
stuff out on the internet as I prefer to use packet...

Cheers..Peter

I am a no code TECH so I operate only above 50mhz for now.

I have a Yaesu Ft-736R  with 6m, 2m and 440 capability.
I also have a Ft-840 w full coverage from AM band thru 30mhz for SWL.

Should I get a packet only TNC to use with the 736 and get a
separate FULL digital unit to listen with on the HF unit ???

Or can I get one super TNC and cable it in a way so both radios
can use it?

Will the Kam Plus do RTTY and stuff on the VHF port? I know it will do
it on the HF port but all I can seem to do is packet on the VHF port.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

I'm glad you support the author in his effort to produce a product
free of cost for people like you to use.  I think you are extremely
impolite in your response.  I keep in regular contact with Roger
Barker and he is EXTREMELY helpfull and supportive of amateurs that
use his product...  I have written addons for winpack and it has just
about the BEST mail engine in a packet program.  It is VERY easy to
interface to Winpack using external code.  All other windows type
packet programs dont have any hooks for you to get into.  They are so
glossy but once you get past the surface, they are SO limited !!

Read the source code of reqfil.  You can tell Roger knows what he is
doing.  It is very well written and efficient !!...

If you want a program to do everything for you, go to Ultrapak or TPK.
If you want to give winpack such a big serve, go and write one
yourself !!!!!

Cheers..

I have a townhouse and my radio equipment on the second floor.  I'm
thinking of running a ground wire down the outside of the house (going
through the window right next to my radios) and driving a rod into the
ground.  Question 1)  will this help get rid of noise on my ICOM R71A
caused by my computer? 2) what gauge wire should I use? & 3) what
length of ground rod should I use to see some results?
Thanx from a very RF Noisy Shack (maybe someday I'll see the WX Fax!)

Well my pet concept is meteor scatter.  This is not a new concept to
the DoD, but as far as packet radio goes with the cheap TNCs, I think this is
one possible way to send data significant distances w/o the slow speed of HF.
There are other tradeoffs as well.  The idea is to replace the firmware to
make a low cost meteor scatter station.  With regards to antennas, power and
radios this may not be so simple.  I was thinking that the controller might
"peck" the path waiting for an opening, and then would send as much as
possible in the second or two the path works.  Or alternativly, it would
repeatedly send data with pauses waiting for the ack.  Some things I have
heard about comercial systems, an opening can be expected on average once
every 15 minutes.  High speed to cram as much data into the opening as
possible would also be worth examining.

Regards, Bill

My recommendation is to get a good multimode, like the PK-900 or the KAM
and hook it to both radios.  If you don't want to spend that much money
a used PK-232MBX will allow you to connect to both radios also, but
you can't use them at the same time.  There is a switch on the front
panel that lets you switch between them.  Frankly, I find little use
for the dual, simultaneous port access of my PK-900, but then I don't
use the dx cluster and chase dx either.  When I want to connect to
a packet station, I do so and when I want to carry on a conversation
on a digital mode on HF, I do that, but I can't remember ever wanting
to carry on two conversations.  I get confused enough with one. 8^)

It looks like you are in Atlanta.  Feel free to call me sometime
if you want to talk about digital modes...

The DoD has several PR developments underway.  For HF, there's
Fed-Std-1052 (working prototypes); for VHF, there's Mil-Std-188-220A, and
for UHF satcom, Mil-Std-188-184.  Nato (SHAPE Tech. Centre) is also
testing an advanced HF PR protocol.

I desire to link my home PC LAN to my lab LANtastic server LAN.

The tentative plan is ethercard into microwave gunn xmtr to exchange
SPX/IPX LAN packets embedded in TCP/IP frames.

Has anyone ever tried this?

Any published articles on homebrewing 2-way half or full duplex hi-speed
(56k-10Mbaud) digital RF packet links?

What amateur bands would allow such wide modulation?

TIA & any info/Inet sources appreciated.

Have been running some throughput tests over NVIS links using TCP/IP in
DATAGRAM mode with "reasonable" results (roughly similar to packet
performance).  Anybody else tried this?  Anybody tried it over long-haul
links? If so, would like to compare notes on parameter (MSS, WIN, etc.)
settings.  Anybody tried VC mode over HF?  If yes, ditto on what
parameters you used.

The KAM Plus only does packet on the VHF port. But if you want to use the
other modes on a VHF radio, you can always hook the HF port to the VHF
radio.

Hi Pierre.  on the second of January N2VNO posted a message inquiring of
a supplier of wider 455 Khz ceraminc filters for 9600 BPS 711/811 use.
The suggestion was made by N2CZL to obtain the Murata SFH-450D series of
units.  The important item was the SF series designator as this denotes
low group delay.  I've not gotten two for my 711/811 as yet but I would
like to try the SFH-450D for starters.  Cliff Buttschardt  W6HDO

I built the 741 op-amp interface for receive.  Worked good, although
it really needed an audio isolation transformer to avoid ground loops
and noise from the PC.

Go for it.

The problem with the motion detector/radar gun Gunn sources is in trying
to get low distortion frequency modulation at large deviations/rates
using bias-push tuning. This is *not* the way to generate a high quality FM
signal.
  The dynamic resistance of these devices is actually quite high (they
are negative resistance devices after all) and even the lowly 3-term
regulators manage to deliver an acceptable waveform to the oscillators.
However, if you plot the voltage-> frequency and voltage->amplitude
responses for typical oscillators (as I did in the referenced Ham Radio
Magazine series) you will see that the result is not FM at information
bandwidths.

  For better performance, it is highly desirable to use electronic
tuning of the resonator rather than rely on what is basically a second
order effect in order to modulate them.
  Again, it must be remembered that I did the project as a

If you want to do satellite work, Don, you have to have a satellite
modem. The satellites use either 1200 baud PSK or 9600 baud FSK
depending on the satellite. So that means you want a TNC that will
accept external modems on a TAPR disconnect header. Your choices
would be PacComm or MFJ since they make 100% compatiable TAPR TNC2
clones. Adapting a satellite modem to an AEA or Kantronics TNC
would be much harder. (Though, you could use AEA's DSP TNC. That
will emulate a satellite modem. Or Kantronics has the Data Engine
which has TAPR style modem headers, but both of those choices are
pretty expensive. TAPR also has a kit that lets you modify the
AEA PK-232 to accept an external modem. The simplest and lowest
cost method is to use a real TNC2 clone.)

The problem is with the PSK modem, all the manufacturers make
9600 baud modems you can use, but the regular terrestrial 1200
baud modem won't do for satellites (except for MIR). Satellites
use PSK modems (for improved weak signal performance) rather than
AFSK.

So you want a MFJ1270B or a PacComm Tiny 2. Then you can add a
1200 baud PSK modem (available as a kit from TAPR) and a G3RUH
style 9600 baud FSK modem (available from several sources), either
of which can plug into the TAPR disconnect header on the TNCs. With
the default 1200 baud AFSK modem built into the TNC, that covers
all the bases except telemetry reception from Oscar 13. That requires
a 400 baud PSK modem, kits for that are available from Radio Kit.

The basic TNC and all the modems will total around $350, which is
still quite a bit cheaper than a DSP TNC from AEA (last I looked
the DSP-2232 was $995), though their new DSP unit is quite a bit
cheaper than their old one. I'm not sure that they have debugged
satellite modem firmware for it yet, however. They do for their
more expense older DSP unit. If you had a PC, you could also use
TAPR's DSP board. And if you're a good coder, you can use any of
the cheap DSP evaluation boards, the Analog Devices EZKit is attractive
at $89. You could program all four different modems you need on it
and run SoftTNC on the MAC instead of going with a hardware TNC.
(The MAC already has the 8530 synchronous SIO chip built in, so it
can do the TNC function inboard without incurring the penalty something
like Baycom poses for the PC where the synchronous conversion has to
be done by bit banging in software.)

Well, you could as easily say that receivers with slow squelches
should either be modified or not used. The 56kb modem (original
kit) uses carrier squelch, and it isn't slow. In fact, carrier
sense is faster than a state machine DCD would be since that
necessarily requires several bit intervals before it can act.

And what's usually happening on the channel is congestive collapse.
It's a *very bad* idea to run mixed speeds on the same channel.
Some idiot will be running a 1200 baud only TNC, and it won't
sense the other speeds, and there goes the channel.

If you're willing to forego satellite, then a Kantronics KAM is
the answer to your requirements. It can do VHF and HF simultaneously.
But if you want satellite capability, that's not the way to go.
The better approach is two separate dedicated systems. I expounded
on this in another post for satellite. For HF, the KAM is still an
option, though it doesn't do Clover, or many of the utility signals
outside the amateur bands. There are better SWL boxes for that. But
the KAM is still a good start. It can do RTTY, AMTOR, PACTOR, GTOR,
and packet (and makes a half-hearted attempt at CW).

AEA's PK-232 can copy a few of the utility signals the KAM can't
handle, but it can only do VHF or UHF one at a time, IE you have
to manually switch back and forth. It *can* be fitted with satellite
modems via a kit from TAPR, however, while the KAM can't.

The ideal system is DSP, able to be configured on the fly for all
the various signals. AEA made an attempt at that with their DSP
boxes, HAL's DSP card does too, but neither do *everything*. You
can program your own DSP modem on one of the cheap DSP evaluation
boards, however, or on TAPR's DSP-93 plug in card for the PC.
I think that's the best approach, if you're willing to learn DSP
programming.

Eric,

OS/2 (and Windows) are both excellent multitaskers. Programs written
with multitasking in mind often run as well, if not better, than
so-called "native" applications, in part because they are typically
in native machine code (vis a vis such things as Visual Basic apps
which are a form of p-code, interpreted, and hence slow).

The benefits of the environment, dynamic linking, object embedding,
etc., are great, but for some things like operating a TNC, in single
or dual port mode, and in modes like AMTOR, PACTOR, GTOR, etc., the
linking and embedding are less important.

PkGOLD and KaGOLD have features that are suited to communications,
and are also multitasking "aware" -- that is, they give back time to
the OS.

If you haven't seen current versions of PkGOLD or KaGOLD running in
either OS/2 or Windows 95, you might be surprised to discover that
they operate well in a DOS box/window, multitask smoothly, and do
lots of important communications things. And the manual, accessory
printed material, and full on-line help are all in English.

Pass along your name and address and I'll send you some information.

A PSA sound card (Orchid, Echo, Cardinal) which uses the Analog Devices
ADSP-2115 DSP will do what you want. In theory, you could use the SB, as
it has an SGS-Thomson DSP core in one of the chips, but no one knows how
to program it.
