I have been told there is a MP-100. That too sounds like a variation of
a RADIUS product.  That is probably why our previous rep wasn't familiar
with it. He didn't deal much with Radius.

Thanks for the replies.

I am new to this, I don't even have my license yet. But I am starting to
look at getting into HAM. Mainly because I travel a lot especially in a
4wd. I was looking in my most recent ad from Radio Shack and saw a 45
watt 2 meter radio that looks like it would fit nicely in the overhead
console I am building. At $300 it looks like a good buy, any comments?
Please e-mail me with your reply.

I did do what you are talking about. I tapped in where the S-meter adj.
was in a 2970 (SAME) 2950 I worked very well. I used a beter from an old
Heathkit reciever. Sorry I don't have the point where I put it thats
been about 3 years ago.

Does anyone know how to convert an AN/PRC-21 to 2 METER? I will soon have
one but it operates 152-174 Mc. When I get the Manual I will have more
info. Thanks

Quite the contrary: Kenwood is stepping up its campaign against

public" departments.

Thank you (a) for not spreading this rumor as truth ("Hey, all - Kenwood
is dead...") and (b) asking the newsgroup for verification!

You probably do not want to increase a diode size, as it could also be
considered a fuse.  Might be designed to blow before something else more
expensive to replace.  If it is D6, you can install a diode limiter
modification where another MI-809 diode is installed in reverse direction
across the original one that goes to ground  just off the cathode of D6 Sorry
do not have diode numbers at hand.  This is intended to keep voltages at 0.6
volts and D6 alive and well. ALSO seperate your antennas if you have not done
so already.

There are switching diodes that control which bandpass filter
is selected. Check both the input and output bpf diodes.
Also, there is a control chip which selects each frequency
segment and sends a dc bias voltage to the above diodes
(forgot the chip number).  I've seen both the diodes and the
chip go bad with a loss of a given spectrum segment.
High voltage on the antenna input (near lightning strike, static
discharge, another transmitter during field day :-), etc) may be
the cause.

Another possibility is a bad vco segment in the PLL or its
control circuitry - now things get complicated.....

Good luck,

King is still around. They can be reached at [phone]. Give them a
call and ask for a distributer near you. You could buy crimp tool for
their connector from other suppliers and save some money. Here in
California Pasternack Enterprises sells crimp on UHF connectors for RG58
and RG8 cable and also crimp tools(not a King's connector). The phone
number is [phone]. Another possible source would be RF Connectors
800 233-1728.  Good hunting.

I second that.  The guy that tell people to cut D12 is doing so to be
funny.  It is not real funny to go cutting in your radio when another ham
radio operator malisiously gives wrong information.  Do not listen to
this guy when it comes to mods.

Raymond:  the micro 2E is the European version of the micro 2A,
which means it has tone burst instead of ctcss.
It normally transmits 140-149.995 and recvs 137 - 174 MHz.
To change the  transmit range requires changing the diode matrix.
There's no way to change it via software.  I don't know how to limit
the rcv range. You can reset the uP to the original state (all memories
lost) by switching the offset on back to simplex and turning the pwr
switch on while holding down the lamp button.  The same procedure allows
you to reprogram the offset if you have the offset in either + or -. To
store the new offset and get into normal operation, press the small
"check" button which normally switches the recv frequency to the offset.

Anyone have a data sheet for an OKI 55V10 Klystron? Based on the WR15 flange
it looks like its output is somewhere in the 50-75ghz range.

I recently bought a TS130, and already own a TS820.
Only the TS820 has a CW filter.

The pictures in  both manuals show CW filters that look similiar
in dimensions, but different numbers.

Can one fit a TS820 CW filter into a TS130?

If not, where can I get a TS130 CW filter, and how much does it cost?

        Hi, Are you looking for a First HF Rig or a Backup Rig? I have the
workhorse of kenwood available at this time.
   The Kenwood TS-520s HF Multi-Band Station; Installed Options: External
VFO for working DX/Split Frequency QSOs, Narrow CW Filter (useful for
cutting out unwanted interferance), DC-DC Converter which allows EMERGENCY
operation on +12Vdc, AC-Cord which allows Normal operation, External
Speaker which enables you to hear on your "good" side, and Desk Mike to
really get your signal out!. Operating and Maintenance Manuals Included.
        Rig was used this year at field day as our PRIMARY CW STATION with
EXCELLANT RESULTS!!! The only reason I am parting with this setup is
because I recently recieved a TS-140s and have to pay the XYL back :-)   .

                                             PRICE: $575 U SHIP

Hi Gregg-

One of the big ham stores has `em, but I can't remember which one for
sure.  Several may.

A couple of years ago I ordered several from either AES or Universal
Radio......sorry I can't remember which it was.  They were not
expensive.  A good thing to have several of on hand.....   Fortunately
for me, it works on the old Collins gear too.

I recently purchased the above radio and would like to give it some
praise and tell everybody about the problems I've had with it as well
as describe some of the cool features.

PROBLEMS:

1) The BNC is easy to loosen. The antenna wiggles if you take it on
and off too much.

2) There is no AC adapter in jack. You have to buy a little connector
(EDC-12) that lets you use a lead acid battery or a car jack to give
your radio power.

PRAISE:

1) The radio comes with a little charging stand that lets you carge
the battery while using the radio with a different power supply (i.e.
lead acid battery or AC adapter).

2) There are help scrolls that scroll by on the screen if you let it
sit for a couple seconds that tells you what the menu you are looking
at does. It is very handy for new comers to the radio that don't know
what all the features do.

3) It displays that name of you memory at the same time that it
displays the frequency that you are operating on.

4) Has a tone search so you can find what tone people are using and
also so you can get into repeaters.


Well, that is what I have found about the FT-51R. If anyone has
anthing else to add, please extend this thread. This newsgroup should
have extensive reviews about radios so that people radio shopping can
get opinions from other HAM's. I know that I could have used help in
purchasing my radio and I assume that other HAM's would want to get
help. Anyone that needs any help or would like opinions on this
particular radio should write on this thread. Anyone who has a
different radio and would like to start a thread about it should. This
will keep the newsgroup rounded out. It will also allow people to
compare opinions and radios or other equipment to each other.

No response from anyone on .swap, so, I have an older 800 MHz mobile
telephone transceiver (floor mount) with no control head (handset).
Made by Matsushita (Panasonic). You can have it for just the cost
of postage (maybe $10 to $15).

Hi Dave de Dave,

I've used the same paint u use on ur car.
Matched it up via a "paint- template" and
ordered the 2oz. bottle "touch-up" from the local
GM/Ford/Chryler dealer. Cost wuz abt $6.00.
I did the job..not bad...and looks a bit better.
If u have time u cud sand with " wet 800grit"
and the finish looks "smoother"....Just a hint..

This mighe help you with your IC-735. I strongly suspect the 22 to 30 MHz VCO
is out of lock.

Gary

Most Common Failures and Cures for the Icom IC-735


Symptom: Erratic display, segments missing from frequency
display.  Radio seems to work OK otherwise.
Probable Cause:  Bad solder at IC1 display driver on display
unit.
Cure: Resolder pins on IC1.
Remarks:  IC1 is a surface mount IC.

Symptom:  Intermittent RX/TX.  Intermittent high SWR.  Seems
like antenna is intermittent.
Probable Cause:  Cracked solder joint at antenna connector.
Cure:  Resolder joint at antenna connector where it connects
to the filter unit. We recommend replacing the thin wire
between the filter unit and antenna connector with a thicker
wire to prevent future failure.

Symptom:  Intermittent RX.  Seems like antenna is
disconnected in receive mode.  TX is OK.
Probable Cause:  Cracked solder at external RX phono jack on
main unit.
Cure:  Resolder phono jack to main unit.

Symptom:  No TX, or low TX output on one or more bands with
high current draw from power supply.  Other bands are OK.
Probable Cause:  Damaged components in low-pass filter.
Cure:  Replace all obviously burned/overheated components on
filter unit.  Also inspect PA for overheating.

Symptom:  Power drops off as unit warms up.  ALC meter
deflection remains high.
Probable Cause:  APC out of alignment.
Cure:  Follow APC alignment procedures in the service
manual.  (R262 on main unit.)

Symptom:  Distorted RX/TX, or no RX/TX on one or more bands.
Distorted SSB audio sounds raspy and rough.  Problem may be
temperature related.
Probable Cause: Bad trimmer capacitors on PL unit, HPL VCO
section.
Cure:  Replace plastic trimmer capacitors C37, C45, C52, and
C59 with ceramic equivalents.  Also replace the reference
oscillator trimmer C138.

Symptom:   Frequency instability.
Probable Cause:  Unstable plastic trimmer capacitor C138 on
PL unit.
Cure:  Replace C138 with a ceramic equivalent.  We also
recommend replacing the HPL trimmers at this time.

Symptom:  Intermittent mic audio.
Probable Cause:  Dirty mic gain control.
Cure:  Spray-clean control with Blue Showers solvent.
Remarks:  Using a cleaning solvent other than Blue Showers
may cause damage by removing a substance inside the control
that allows smooth movement of the slider.

Symptom: VFO tuning is erratic, sometimes lags or skips when
changing frequencies or bands.  Sometimes least-significant
digit in frequency display "flutters" back and forth instead
of  changing incrementally when the VFO knob is turned
slowly.
Probable Cause:  Bad rotary encoder.
Cure:  Substitute rotary encoder with a known good one.  It
is recommended that the rotary encoder be replaced as a
complete assembly if it is bad.
Remarks:  If the frequency tunes in only one direction, i.e.
either up or down, there may be a problem on the logic
unit.

Symptom:  Mic gain is low when using Heil microphone
element.
Cure:  Change value of R235 on PL unit to 200k.

Symptom: Radio trips/shuts down power supply when power
connector is plugged in, even when radio is turned off.
Probable Cause:  Shorted PA transistors.
Cure: Replace shorted PA transistors.  The pre-driver and
driver transistors are probably bad too.  Check electrolytic
capacitors C25 and C29 on PA unit for swelling and replace
if needed.

Symptom:  Drastic change in audio frequency response between
USB and LSB., i.e. USB audio has too much bass while LSB
audio has too much treble.  USB/LSB RX frequency response
may be equalized, to a degree, by adjustment of the front
panel PBT control.  TX frequency response remains poor.
Probable Causes:  Misadjustment of the BFO and/or PBT shift
oscillator, or bad FL-30 on main unit.
Cure:  Realign the BFO and PBT shift oscillator.  If this
doesn't help, replace the FL-30.
Remarks:  Some filters are better than others so some test
selection may be needed to satisfactorily alleviate the
problem.  The better-performing (but more expensive) FL-80
filter can be substituted for the FL-30.

Symptom:  "Chirp" in CW operation.
Probable Causes: 1)  Low power supply voltage in TX. 2)
Astron power supply needs additional RF decoupling.  3)
Early production IC-735 needs factory update.
Cure:  Check power supply voltage at pin 7 of either
accessory jack in TX mode.  It should not vary excessively
from RX standby voltage or drop below 12 volts.  If an
Astron power supply is being used with radio, install
additional RF decoupling capacitors to its output terminals.
If  the IC-735 is an early production unit, it may need a
factory update to prevent chirp.  Call Icom Technical
Support for update information.

Symptom:  Harsh-sounding or extremely rough-sounding mic
audio when used on either antenna or dummy load.  Average
SSB output seems low; must increase mic gain to a high level
for proper TX output.  RX and FM TX are OK.
Probable Cause: Driver and PA idle current is low.
Cure:  Align driver and PA idle current to specs: 100mA for
driver, 600mA for PA.  If the PA idle current will not
adjust up to specs, Q4, D2, or D3, may be bad.  If the PA
idle current is erratic, there is probably a cracked joint
at Q4 or D2.  If  driver idle current will not quite adjust
up to specs, install field mod: Decrease value of R18 on PA
unit from 120 ohms to 68 ohms, or simply, piggyback another
120 ohm resistor across R18.

Symptom:  Raspy-sounding mic audio when used on antenna.
Radio sounds good when transmitting into dummy load.  Power
output seems normal.  May be complaints of RFI.
Probable Causes:  1)  Station ground is in adequate. 2)
Astron power supply used with unit needs additional RF
decoupling.  3)  RF feedback in mic circuit.
Cure:  Check station ground.  If an Astron power supply is
being used with radio, install additional decoupling
capacitors across output terminals.  Short pins 6 & 7 in
microphone connector to remove RF feedback.
Remarks:  If nothing helps, radio should be checked for
spurious output.  (see below)

Symptom:  Spurious TX on some bands.  SWR reading may be
high when transmitting into a dummy load.  Power is low on
some bands.  Ic may be high.
Probable Cause:  Bad components on PA unit caused by over-
voltage or overheating.
Cure: Check and replace as needed: C25 & C29 (1000uF, 16v)
and R25 (4.7 ohm, 2 watt) on PA unit.  Also look for
overheated components and solder joints on the L4 assembly.

Symptom:  No display,  no RX/TX.  Inspection reveals PLL
unlock.
Probable Causes: 1) Low power supply voltage.  2)  Bad IC8
on PL unit.
Cure:  Measure power supply voltage at pin 7 of either
accessory jack.  Should be not less than 12 volts for
reliable operation.  If OK, replace IC8 on PL unit.

Symptom:  No RX/TX when cold or warm.  May have dead spots
in tuning range of each band.
Probable Cause:  PLL unlock.
Cure: Align LPL lock voltage on PL unit.

Symptom:  Frequency unstable in TX on 10 meters, especially
after warm-up.
Probable Cause:  PL unit needs factory update.
Cure: On PL unit, change value of  R163 from 3.3k to 1.5k,
and spread coil L36.

I have an Apelco (Raytheon) AXL1550 VHF Auto Direction Finder.  I do
not have the manual.

Looking for any information on this unit.

Has connectors on back for radio audio, radio antenna, radio (SO-239),
ADF antenna, and BAL MOD.

Anything would be helpful (original selling price, capabilities,
anything!).

Please e-mail.  Thank you.  Howard Atlas

Hi All,

        Name is Adam, located here in Ashland, MA.  I have for sale a Henry

matching power supply and external speaker.  Great spare rig or first
HF.  I don't have the space in my shack or for antennas!  Asking $250/bo
or trade for 2m or 440 or dual band radios.  Any offers/trades welcome.

Thanks and 73,

Netlanders,

Last week I asked if anyone else was having trouble scanning
between 590 and 650 MHz.  Two of four responses were positive.

Since then I have discovered that the problem is actually
larger.  I am unable to scan any frequency within the
Wide FM arena.

Further, reception of signals in the 590-650+ region is
nil.  My Icom 2SRA receives signals full scale while
the ft50 receives nothing.

AM and NFM scanning appear to be OK.

I'm pretty sure that I've found birdies in the 155MHz region
also.

Yaesu did not know of any problems in the 590 region, but
did admit there was a repair of a known birdy @ 146MHz.

they also state that there is an error in the manual
regarding the FTT12 DVR.  New manuals are being printed.

There is currently no word from Japan on a fix for the
known to narrow WFM problem.

I'd like to hear from anyone else with regards to how
their unit works.

Thanks....

Troy

  The most "MAJOR" complaint seems to be from folks who want this unit to
listen to FM broadcasts. ( Stupid me I thought the unit was primarily for
amateur freq's...ever hear of a WALKMAN???)
  The DVR function of the FTT-12 keypad is screwed.
  Otherwise it is a very tight and neat little HT. I find it gets alot
more use than any of my Motorola HT's.
  Works great. Hears great. Freq coverage is perfect for my needs.
  But then to each his own.

Hmmmmm, I just checked the manual and it says that the power can be
adjusted from 0.1 watts to 5.0 watts.  Of course this depends on the
battery installed.  Now, do you know something the rest of us FT-50R
owners don't?????  Or, did you put the FT-50 on a watt meter and it
really puts out 7 watts on high power???

Don't pay much more than $80 for one unless it is mint and complete. I
bought one six months ago for $60 (radio, cord, mic only). Not a bad
radio, though!

Right but here is the point: You don't have a license (yet - I know you are
working on it - good luck!).

How do I know? By your own words:


"......I said why don't they take that to am where that kind of behavior
was expected....then we had to go to 38 lsb. They branched off
again! They tied up 3 lsb channels on skip, and had no consideration
for those with children in the radio room.
This speeds up considerably my rate of speed to ham-dom"

(posted by you on or about 7/28/96)


I'm not flaming you Hacker. I have read your posts and I believe you will
make a fine addition to amateur radio...

I just wanted to point out the fact that you are both right in a way.

Bob:

Yaesu claims it can not be done.  A wider filter would be too large to
fit in the allowed space, so no fix available, or planned in the future.

Hi,

Well as far as my radio goes there is no birdie at 146.000 or anywhere
in the 146+/- area.

The radio does not receive broadcast radio that well....(who cares) I
have a regular radio for that.

As far as other 'scanning' regions...BUY A SCANNER !!!

I like the ft-50....but to hell with this dumb scanning stuff...that's
why they make scanners.  They should put more of there time into
making a better, narrower receive front end.

Want to make a radio to cover 136-174 and 420-470 great but the rest
is hogwash....you bought a 2way transceiver not a scanner and no one
will make one that is as good as the 4sra or 2sra.  Only because they
are two seperate receivers int he same radio.  A dedicated scanner and
a 2way txmitter.

IMHO

-
I have made it to work on two units. The is a small
trimmer cap under the metal shield on the IF unit. I
forget how it's labeled but it's something like FWD
or FW. I did notice on both units, while using a
spectrum analyzer, that if the power is increased
past ~130W a big spur (a couple of watts) appears a
couple huncred KC away while operating on 20 meters.
The monitor audio also begins to sound scratchy. I
left both radios on 125 W.

Hope this helps

Try this:
If you go to pin 10 of the MB8719 PLL chip this pin should be not connected.
If you ground this pin, the PLL will lock 640 KHz above every CB channel. This

640 is not enough because 27405 +640 = 28045. Now if you solder a variable
resistor to this pin to ground and then vary the resistance slowly. There will

be a point where the PLL locks +1280 from every CB channel. I recomend using 1
K
or 2 K ohm pots from pin 10 to ground. Now place the radio on a low channel
and try moving the pot until the PLL locks +1280. You can then put a switch to

select either grounding the pin (+640) or resistor to ground (+1280). All the
pins next to pin 10 are PLL programing in binary descending order (1280 and
640), 320,160,80,40,20,10 KHz. In order to make the PLL lock on all the way to

the upper frequency limit (1280+27405=28685 on CH 40) you have to tweek the re
d
shielded coil that is next to the PLL and has wax on it. This if the VCO coil.

After you tweek the coil, you can reheat the wax with the soldering iron and i
t
will re-melt and look good. Also after tweeking this coil, the radio will not
lock on the CB band. Now all that is left is tweeking all the receive filter
and transmit filter inductors and the radio will work fine.

I have the Yaesu 2400H. This morning, I used the rig, then shut it
down. About an hour later I powered it back up and it would not
indicate any transmit on any power level, everything else seems
normal. As I bought this used w/o a manual I am wondering if this rig
doesn't have some sort of a lockup function or problem that I may have
inadvertently initiated. When I turned it on for the second time I was
going to use the autopatch, and hit the * key, not sure if it was
transmitting then., but didn't hear the repeater tone. Any suggestions
on what this might be would be appreciated, also email replies would
be greatly appreciated.

  Just wanted to mention, I was talking to a Radio Shack rep (from
Dallas) at a hamfest in Springfield, MO, yesterday, and he confirmed that
(at long last!) Radio Shack is finally coming out with a DUAL-BAND radio,
2m and 440. In fact, he indicated that they are "beta-testing" both a
mobile AND a handheld!

  They should definitely be out on the market by October 1996.

  You heard it here first. :-)

I have an ICOM 2GXAT.. I have been really happy with it until lately
when
all of my memory settings (including the internal settings: offset, tone
etc) were wiped.  I have not been successful at storing them, ie as soon
as I turn off the radio wham.. they're gone...
Anyway, I don't see a battery on the schematic and don't see anything on
the inside that looks like a battery... Does anyone know how the
settings are normally stored?  I would appreciate any suggestions.
Please reply here or email me at:

Hi, I need some help fixing a Microwave Associates 10GHz Gunn diode
assembly.

the model is :   MA 86656 CM

I have two of them and I am trying to make a amateur data link but one of
them has no output when I apply the voltage to the diode.  I noticed
something rattling around inside the assembly so I took out the plunger
which holds the Gunn diode and found that it had slipped out of it's
holder (probably from being dropped).  I replaced the diode in the holder
and tried to fire up the assembly again.  Still no output.  I do not know
which way the diode goes in so I tried both directions (there are no
markings on the diode)  Still no output.

I can only assume that the diode is bad, but I have no idea how to find
another.  It has no numbers.

If anyone has any specs or advice on obtaining another Gunn diode or the
correct orientation, I would appreciate any help I could get.

I was told that one of these assemblies cost around $500 new, and I don't
have that kind of "hobbie" money avaliable. So I would like to fix the
one I have.

Thanks,

Hello All

I am interested in purchasing a Standard C5608D dual band transciever.
How soes the unit perform, are they reliable ?!?!?

Any information/opinions wanted and gladly accepted.

Also, I see that there is an optional ctss pcb for it.

CTN5600  Are they easy to obtain ? How much are they ??

Finally, I noticed you can extend the mike circuit by 4 meters so you
can out the radio in the boot.  Does that work well ??  Can you make
your own cable ????

Geeze, full of questions aren't I !!!

Thanks for any help you may provide.....Pete..vk2yx

Hi all!

I just purchased a new Kenwood TM-251A mobile rig.  This rig has a
dedicated 1200/9600 baud packet connector on it.  I have a Kantronics
KPC-3 TNC.

I want to use the dedicated packet port on the rig, but I can't find a
premade cable that will properly interface my TNC with the rig.  (I'm
starting with 1200 baud operation.)

Does anybody know if there is any store or individual that sells these
cables premade, or has anyone already built it for themselves.  If so,
can you please give me some tips on how to do it!

I already have the Kenwood PG-5A Data cable with the 6-pin DIN connector
on one end for the rig.  I also have the parts for the 9-pin serial-style
plug that came with the TNC.

Also, if I build it, is it just as simple as connecting the wires, or do
I have to change the line voltages?

Thanks in advance!

73,
Adam Kern

>>...ER2 on the HTX-202...

HTX-202 Error Codes (taken from a Radio Shack memo)

ER1 indicates an internal RAM error. It appears when the memory backup
battery is dead, when something has caused the memory contents to become
corrupt, or as a result of physical or static electric shock. To clear
this error, turn off the unit. Then turn it back on while holding down the
"function" and "D" buttons. This clears the memory. If the error returns
after you clear the memory, service is required.

ER2 indicates a PLL unlock. The radio gives this error if the PLL alignment
is off or if the transmitted signal interferes with the internal PLL
frequency. This error has been reported most frequently when using the
supplied "rubber ducky" antenna with either a high-power battery pack or
with an external DC source.

According to the memo, the fix for this is to use an external antenna when
using external DC power. The memo goes on to say that if the problem
persists, send the transciever to the repair center.

Another thought -- just use IPHONE.  Although it would be a 1-at-a-time
deal, it would be easy to do.   FWIW, I've been talking to a group of
hams back in the USA via IPHONE and some control software called
REPEATER LINK.  I can even access their repeater phone patch using a
midi DTMF simulator to place local calls to my folks.  Of course, this is
not exactly private since the call goes over the repeater, but it sure beats
paying 3 bucks per minute for a quick phone call back to the states.

Talked with some other guys using CW via iphone....sure works better since
propagation is lousy.

Lots of neat applications using IPHONE....check them out.

Generally, yes. The output of the HTX212 meets FCC spec, but most consumer
electronics are not well shielded - cordless phones are often one of the worst

offenders. In my case, my '212 would completely reset my auto FM radio every t
ime
I transmited on high power. That particular radio was an RS model. The problem

went away when I installed a Sony car FM...  :-)

I am guessing that the ADMS software is covered by copyright, and
that posting and using it like that would be illegal...

Be that as it may, the cable you need to hook the serial port to the
ear jack is not a trivial affair. There are a lot of surface mount
xistors, resistors and diodes in the 9-pin cover. You will need it
too..

        Hello all.  I am looking for opinions on the Ten-Tec 2 Meter Kit.
Does it compare with two meter mobiles from the big three in transmit audio,
receive sensitivity and intermod rejection?  All responses welcome.

I purchased a Alinco DJ-G1T (HT) and it has been working really well
around the house (with a good rubberduck antennna) and it has good
features. I attached it to a 1/4 wave dual band mag-mount on the trunk of
my car and when I am mobile the receive/transmit is really bad.

I am a new ham so I am wondering if this is just the nature of mobile
communications or do I need to buy a 5/8 wave antenna and a 2m amp?

The single best reference is probably _The Gates Battery Handbook_.
Powersonic and Sanyo also have good books out on the selection, care,
and use of various sorts of batteries.

There are several factors to consider here. The primary one,
I think, is that battery discharge amp-hr capacity is larger
at low discharge than at heavier discharge. Thus running the
batteries in parallel will give you more operating time than
using them serially. That's because each only supplies half
the ampere-hour discharge rate in parallel duty that they
would have to supply in serial usage. (You need to look at
the discharge curves to fully appreciate this. It may give
you as much as 20% more operating time if you can half the
draw on the individual batteries.)

Operating considerations, IE you might want to charge one
battery while using the other, or you might want an emergency
reseve battery in case you draw the first one down too much,
may dictate that serial operation of the batteries would be
a better course in a particular situation.

Ordinary wet cells want a constant voltage charger. Gell,
or depeleted electrolyte as they're called today, cells
have a slightly more complex charging requirement if you
want best performance. They need a combination charger
which both limits current and voltage at various points
in the charge cycle (constant current, limited to prevent
gassing, early in the charge cycle, constant voltage at a
tapering current later in the charge cycle, and a small
maintenance constant current trickle at full charge). There
are single chip charge controllers which can accomodate this.
If you don't mind slow charging, then an ordinary constant
voltage trickle charger will serve adequately.

I went through the same decision a month ago, and wound up buying the
1000MP. The concencus of the group was that the MP was the better receiver,
and that the ergonomics of the 775 were not as good as the MP.

Almost twenty years ago, I was working for a company in
California where one of the executives had previously
been an engineer at Collins Radio.  He was also a ham.
Anyway, he told me once that the serial numbers on the
S-line and KWM-2 series were issued in a RANDOM order.
Therefore, he said, do not purchase used Collins rigs
based on the theory that a "high serial number" is
a new radio.

Anybody out there in cyberspace who can authoritarily
confirm or debunk this matter?

Feel free to post the answer here on this newsgroup, in case

gee they figured it out...in the "old days", collins used a material control n
umber
(MCN) that was followed by a fiscal date (year, week, day..day 1 is saturday,
day 7 is friday). today, assemblies get revision letters...

high MCN's would mean a late build. (go open up some gear..you'll see the MCN
number stamped near the part number in most cases)

serial numbers are assigned in blocks. if there is an order for 500 of some th
ing,
then 500 serial numbers are assigned to that product, but as the product works
it's way through the factory, any number of things might cause any given unit
of serial number x to be delayed or accelerated. it could fail testing. a prob
lem
could be found that affects only certain combinations of subassemblies (so
unaffected products would pass on through...). whatever. it's possible a 2nd o
rder
could "lap" the troublesome products as a solution is found.

as a product came off the line, a configuration management record would be mad
e
that would show a serial number and the MCN of the major assemblies in the uni
t.
this would be kept in case a service bulletin would be needed and then researc
hed
to find applicable serial numbers for the SB. for example if there was a recei
ver
card that needed a SB applied to it only if it was made before MCN 71143 (roug
hly
around the first week in january of 1971...), you could find out what units co
ntained
the older cards such that the service bulletin would spell out what equipment
might need the SB based on serial numbers in turn based on the MCN of the
assemblies it was built with..

however, the serial number only has meaning in a very general sense...and
products are not always started at 1. in several cases, the SN also carries a
"configuration" marker since it was picked from a block for a given product ty
pe.
later, it's possible to reconstruct the history of a unit from this - especial
ly
important if the equipment is of a type that can be changed from one type
number to another (say wide or narrow filters, with or without selcal,
with or without constant audio output...) so if radio x shows up with y serial
number and service bulletin z, it can be determined that a given product was
modified from one configuration to another...

Very early in the production of the Collins S/Line and KWM-2 radios
serial numbers were issued.  After that, the identification numbers
were purposefully issued in a manner that would make it difficult to
tell which unit was the latest made.

If the serial number ends in the letter "J", that KWM-2A was made in
Japan.

The early KMM-2's and 32S-1's had no crowbar switch to short the HV
supply when the PA cover was removed.

Sometimes the metal parts (such as the chassis) were marked with
configuration identifiers.  This is a revision status of the part or
assembly.  CI 730802 means the revision date of the part was the
second day of the eigth fiscal week of fiscal year 1973.  The radio
would have been made after that date.

>Anybody out there in cyberspace who can authoritarily
>confirm or debunk this matter?

It was my priviledge to service this equipment in 1974.  Many changes
were made to improve the equipment over the years,  it is all fine
gear.

>The *main* factor is the receiver.

Beyond line of sight, the main factor is *propagation*. Antennas can
be important, and the receiver certainly is (but Marconi used a glass
tube full of iron filings to span the Atlantic). The modulation used
makes a difference, and transmitter power is the catchall factor. The
frequency chosen is also an important factor since it influences
all the other factors. The whole thing has to work as a system.

Signalling speed (baud) for terrestrial beyond line of sight paths
is determined primarily by multipath. Operating near the MUF (for
ionospheric paths) will reduce multipath, and coherent M-ary modulation
with proper coding can resist it. At VHF+, antenna directionality
and siting are the largest factors in controlling multipath. Good
modulation choices (such as SS) can resist its degradations.

For free space paths, SNR (and available bandwidth) dominate as
the factors controlling signalling speed. Coherent modulations
again help in resisting degradation by low SNR (incoherent OOK
is a poor choice, incoherent analog modulations a worse one).
A stronger transmitted signal directly affects channel SNR. A
good receiver can avoid excessively degrading channel SNR (both
through using low noise devices to avoid contributing to channel
noise and by using matched filtering to avoid passing out of channel
noise), but it can't improve channel SNR. A directional antenna can
effectively improve channel SNR over isotropic by restricting the
noise coming from other directions on channel from reaching the
receiver.

Assuming adequate techniques are used for each link in the chain,
for a given frequency, the order of importance probably goes like
this;

1) Propagation
2) Antennas
3) Modulation
4) Receiver
5) Transmitter

Propagation dominates, and is the largest loss factor and the
largest factor contributing to multipath. Antennas couple to the
propagation path and thus are key elements. The modulation chosen
determines how well the signal can resist the various impairments
caused by propagation. The receiver must avoid degrading channel
SNR as much as possible. And finally, enough transmitter power
must be used to overcome all the loss mechanisms. The amount of
transmitter power *necessary* is often surprisingly small, however.
With the correct choices of other factors, a few milliwatts can
easily span the globe.

About $200 would seem reasonable if the rig is in mint condition. Remember..
This is an old  old rig for the Drake HF Tranciever series. It was the second

To All Who Read This:

I have an IC-737 (not IC-737A) for sale.  I have used this rig very
little in the 2 1/2 years I have owned it.  It has never been modified
and was bought with no options.  I am a non-smoker.

Reason for selling:  wife and I are having twins and we need the $$$.

Also have other equipment for sale...

Selling price for IC-737 is BO over $850

Thanks in advance for reading and responding to this...

I am about to send my Yaesu FT 1000 MP back for a modification because
with the speach processor on there is no RF Power adjustment, it's
either full output or off.  I understand that Yaesu is not likely to
help me by doing any other known mod's while the rig is in.  So I
would appreciate knowing of any other mod's so I can have them do them
at the same time.  Please respond via e-mail to [e-mail].

Thanks!!!

I'm looking at buying the Yaesu FT-10 or FT-50.  I'm wondering if anyone
has used the voice digitizer option and what their experience has been
with that option.  I realize the voice digitizer option doesn't work
correctly on the FT-50, but that wide band rx would be nice.  So if the
voice digitizer option doesn't seem any good, I'll probably get myself
the FT-50.  I'm curious to hear what other people have experienced or
think on the subject.

John this spring I ordered the TT on their 30 day trial. I received it w/o the
latest software mod. and the frequency on every band was out of spec.

What I found was as follows:

- It has birdies that can't be covered up when the antenna is connected.

- The speech processor didn't make any difference when it was in or out.
  (yes it was adjusted correctly!)

- It requires an external power supply rated at 23A. The built-in speaker
  in my TT supply was "tinny". I had to use my Drake MS-4 speaker. That
  was part of the reason I bought the matching supply. Its receive audio
  at best doesn't sound "good" to me. Especially a YL voice.

- Both the Mic gain and AF audio only needed to be raised to the 8:00 to
  9:00 o'clock position to be adequate. From 9:00 o'clock on was a waste.

- The attenuator is not separate from the preamp. This may not be a big deal,
  but I prefer it.

- The S-meter indication is S9 is at 2/3 full scale. Most
  all other transceivers S9 is at 1/2 full scale. What this means is if you
  operate on 80/160 meters, a noisy band will be pegging the meter. Also, on
  other bands with strong signals the meter will bang the peg because of
  needle inertia.

IMO the OMNI VIs good features:

- Its menu, knobs and silkscreening were very user friendly and easy to
  get use to.

- Its sensitivity on 10/15/20 meters is good.

- Its DSP autonotch is quicker and has less distortion IMO than the FT-1000MP

- The threshold NB on my local noise was good.

- I felt I could hear weak signals fine 160 thru 10m.

- The transceiver will not shut down at 2:1 vswr; it will put out full power
  at 3:1 vswr and not have the lockup delay of a rig with a autotuner.

I sent it back ordered a FT-1000MP. Some of the knobs are too small on the MP
and it has taken me longer to learn to use it. But I'd not swap the MP for the
 TT
for the reasons listed above.

I don't think there is ANY fix for this inadequacy in the ft50. In the
big review of the rig it mentions "wide band fm" is a bit more hype than
reality as all of us who own it realized. Apart from that, it is a great
little radio! If you haven't, get the ADMS-1c software program for your
computer, comes with cable to the radio, good manual, intuitive usage
and a lot easier to fully program/clone/change than twisting the knob
and squinting at the display. HI! My techie friend who knows everything
about modifying and does it professionally said wb fm is NOT possible
with this rig any wider than it is now.  Good luck <N1FSK>

I run the ADMS1c software off my laptop (running WFW 3.11) and had a lot
of trouble at first, until I started Win without pc card support drivers
(for the modem and network card).  I just altered the autoexec.bat and
config.sys to allow for another boot option to allow me to bypass the card
support.  Now it works great and I have been having a blast...

I am looking for a good radio to use with my AEA DSP 232 terminal node
controller. I was thinking of buying either an IC-706 or a Kenwood
ts-690. The reason I have chosen these radios is the fact that they
both cover 6m. Will these radios work in pretty much all modes such as
packet, navtex, rtty and others without any limitiations. I had also
considered the ic-736 but it does not support rtty mode. Anyone have
any opinions on these radios for what I want to use them for? 73's

It's somewhat appropriate, except for the fact that it's a somewhat
specialized piece of equipment, so posting to the rec.radio.forsale group,
or whatever equivalent there is, would probably be a better choice, to avoid
four thousand questions.  I'm not a ham, but am studying for the exam, so know
what the 2m descriptor means (it's the wavelenght the radio transmits/receives
in)...  Oh, for point of reference, in the US, you need a Ham license before
you can legally broadcast in the 2m range...

Being used to separate receiver and transmitter, I am acclimating to
transceivers. Got a nice Kenwood TS-940 but desire separate receive antenna
(especially for 160 meters).  So I am working on the necessary connections to
the 940 and switching.

The 8 pin DIN socket on the back (transverter socket) does not seem to
align with the 8 pin DIN plugs I bought at hamfests. In fact, trying to
push the plug in caused the plastic of the socket to spall away.... and the
outside pins of the plug (closest to the alignment ridge of the plug) bent
outward... indicating a severe misalignment. Not being familiar with DIN
equipment, I decided to stop right there and ask for help.

I know there are Kenwood users out there who have 8 pin plugs in these sockets
.
Anything special that I need to know? If I have to, I can heat the plug and
do some plastic surgery to realign those two pins to fit.... but is there a
different 8 pin DIN plug that I should be using? (Kenwood maual not specific)

Anything else I should know about a second receive antenna on the 940 that is
not in Kenwood's manual?

thanks for reading

Mel, KJ9C

Robbin,  The owner's manual gives about three pages of info
about problem solving...it would be best if you could find someone
locally to see pages 34 - 36

The info includes a couple of reset methods to clear lockups...

Here is the method to restore all factory defaults:

Hold the  D/MR and the REV/SKIP buttons down while turning on
the transceiver.  Then turn the unit off, and then hold only the
D/MR button down while turning it back on again.  This will wipe out
all your memory and other settings.

If this fails, there is also an internal hard reset availble...see
the manual.

And finally,  there is an internal lithium battery which retains
all settings and memories while power is off...this battery may
need replacement.  It is on the inside of the front panel, just
behind the memory box on the display.

Good Luck,
Bill, N0LAJ

Hello,

My call is KC5DGR and I'm located in Houston, Texas. I'm 16 and starting an am
ateur radio club at my high
school. To get students interested we are looking for any old ARRl handbooks a
nd amateur radio
magazines(ie..CQ, 73 etc..) If any amateurs have broken or unused equipment we
 will take donations to get a
station started and on the air. But so far I have recieved very little support
. Thanx in advance...73 de Billy
Banks KC5DGR.

Robert,

It may sound fun (when I was in college, we tried to do the same thing, but
were unsuccessful, luckily.)  If you do succeed, you WILL most likely be
caught, unless you are in an area with almost no radio stations.  As an
assistant engineer at an FM station with several translators, we regularly
monitor the band with a spectrum analyzer and would most likely find a
'pirate' station within a few days of it's debut.  I'm sure you've read the
posts from others outlining the fines.

Radio is an appealing hobby.  I'm sure your intent is not to break the law.
 Why not go about it through the existing channels?  If your desire is to
communicate, try amateur radio, it's lots of fun!  If your goal is to get
your music 'on the air', seek out a local college or technical school radio
station.  I'm involved in both amateur radio and broadcast radio, a
rewarding hobby and career.  Good luck!

Are you ready? Sitting down? Vallium nearby? Good.


1. A Radio Interface Box (RIB) cost $150.

2. A computer. Cost <$500

3. Motorola software. Cost $350+

4. STX RIB cable. Cost $125.

5. Trunking info for local system. Cost ????$$$???

6. Time. Cost (Time is money they say)

If the above seems too expensive I strongly suggest selling the radio
now on the net. (No thank you I don't need one)


                         Good luck.

That depends on what you want in a radio. If you like high tech, scanning,
pl, etc., then the 202 is for you.

If you like a radio that works great on packet, has great resistance to
intermod, is super tough, then you want the 2at.

Also the 2at can be used from 140-149.995 tx/rx and can be modified  to a new
band of 150-159.995 quite easily.

The 2at also puts out far more audio from the speaker than the 202. That
might be important if you are going to use the rig in a noisy enviorment.

The 202 is smaller and "really" can be put in your back pocket. The 2at will
go there, too but if I falled on my butt the 2at would survive - the 202
might not. The 2at works good as a mobile because the controls are on top. I
just made a cross country trip with the 2at on my sun visor. It worked nice.


                        Tough decision?

Gee, you won't void the warranty by removing the covers, looking
around, and taking some measurements. Now if you go at the main
board with a 300 watt American Beauty soldering iron, *that* might
void the warranty. :-)

Without putting too sharp a point on "Just Me"'s post, you *are*
a ham, you are expected to work on your own radios (within the
limits of your expertise). The amateur radio manufacturers know
that. They don't put seals on the covers to keep you out.

Do be careful, of course, and try not to get in too far over your
head. But you'll never learn if you don't *do*, so at least try.
If you do manage to void the warranty, consider it tuition.

The covers were off my IC-706 within an hour of its purchase. I
wanted to see how it worked (since Icom didn't see fit to include
a schematic, boo, hiss). That's the normal thing for a ham to do.
Icom had better know that.

OTOH, if you attempt a repair and butcher it (SMD is a bit tricky
at first, practice on scrap, not on a $1200 radio), Icom probably
will void your warranty. You had better know that.

OK I just powered the puppy up in the other room.  Using the crude meter
on the power supply it showed approximately 1A on RX and 2.5A on full TX
for 2 metres.

General Radio 1362 UHF Oscillator, 220-920mhz and
General Radio 1208B VHF Oscillator, 65-500mhz

I found these neat UHF and VHF oscillators at a hamfest for $5. Only problem
is that they have a pigtail cable apparantly plug into a mating power supply,
which I do not have. Does anyone know the pinouts or have a schematic? Perhaps
even the supply? :)

Thanks and 73!

Yes. You can shield the monitor. GC has a conductive EMI spray which
can be used on the plastic case, or you can line the case with one
of the adhesive backed metal foil products (copper foil is best).
All cables entering and leaving the monitor need to be adequately
suppressed to the shield. In HV areas of the monitor, fish paper
should be used as insulation for the shielding to prevent flashovers.
And don't cover the ventilation holes, perforate your added shielding
in these areas.

The DAG coat of the CRT should be connected to the shield. The CRT
forms a good RF shield if it is of the shadow masked type (color),
so you don't need to shield the face of the CRT. If it is a mono CRT
though, you'll need to use black wire mesh to shield the face to
prevent radiation from leaking out of the monitor through the CRT.
This can double as a glare shield.

Tighten up the shielding of your transceiver too. It should receive
no signal with the antenna disconnected. Use good 100% shield coax
to the antenna, and make sure the antenna is as far as possible
from the monitor. Cable routing matters too. *Don't* neatly bundle
cables. RF can be induced from one to the other by transformer
action. Try to route the cables well apart, and at right angles
to each other as much as possible. Use ferrite snap on chokes
liberally.

"Grounding" is a trickier issue. A connection to Earth doesn't
magically eliminate RFI. In fact, it can sometimes make it worse
by creating ground loops. You'll want to experiment here to determine
if isolated power or a single common point *inside* the station
will help reduce RFI (it may vary from one band to another which
method works better).

If you have a Kantronics TNC and your looking for an interesting
windows based host mode program, give KaWin a try.

Do watch out for one thing on the shareware version.  If you check the
host mode close option box under options/TNC's & Radio's, you may have
problems running other programs such as PAKET 5.1.  This box needs to
be unchecked, else you won't be able to use your other packet
software.

I made this mistake and rudely complained to the author who
respectfully corrected the errors of my way.

I'm not connected with KaWIN

It would take a lot longer than that.  A lot of truckers are already

most of them stick to one or two channels.

Hello,

I have the Icom IC-707 HF Rig.  It has an option of hooking it up to the
computer for changing freq., memories, and ect.  I wanted to know if it
is possible to Home brew the Interface needed between the computer and
the radio.  If so where can I find the information.

Well I finally ran into something to complain about with the FT50R.
It appears that the barrety low indicator comes on only 3 to 4 minutes
prior to there not being enough power to run the radio.  At least this
holds true with the FNB-41 battery.  Not fun if you don't have a
second battery.  But, if it's the only complaint I have with this
great little radio, then I'm HAPPY!

That's why I display the battery voltage in the display window -- Once
you hit 5V, forget about transmitting.

I recently got a used Kenwood TM-732A, but it did not come with the
manual. Looking at a friend's TM-741A book, I was able to figure out quite
a bit. But, I know the 732A can do UxU and VxV (in other words, listen to
two freqs in the same band at the same time), but I can't figure out how
to do it. There's no mention of it in the 741A book. Anybody know how it's
done? If so, please reply via email. Thanks!

OK to get VHF in both: press lower BAND SEL key (bottom volume knob),
press the F key, then press the C.SEL key within 10 seconds.  V2 lights in
the display and the bottom display also shows the second VHF band freq.
C. SEL is th pushbutton next to the display where it says VOL.

To get UHF in both press the upper BAND SEL key and follow the rest of the
steps.  To return to normal press the F key and then the C.SEL  key within
10 seconds.

Dan,

I dont have anything in writing, someone faxed me a diagram. All I can
remember is that you remove the keypad by unscrewing the screw underneath
the Nicad label on back of radio. Then, on the board under the keypad,
main radio board, not keypad board, is a few very small chip 0 ohm
resistors. One of them must be removed, and a radio reset performed. Can't
help on which one.

Last week I picked up an old Viking Phone Patch.   Can someone help me
hooking it up?  I know how to connect the radio (speaker) end, there's a
cord with a plug on it for the radio and a jack for the speaker, but
there are four other terminals labled L1, L2, SPKR and RCVR.  Can
someone tell me what wire goes to what terminal?

I would agree with Ron that in an area that doesn't use a two frequency
digital repeater it is certainly better to have a tnc that uses a Data
Carrier Detect, this can be added to most TNC-2 clones. I've added them
to older MFJ1270s, which is quite easy, and to a PacComm Micropower2,
similar to a Tiny2. This was a bit trickier however it works very well.
The kit to add this used to be avaiable from TAPR for a pretty good
price. I'm sorry I don't have contact info handy. One might also be able
to pickup a newer version of the TNC's operating firmware. If I can be of
more help please post or better yet e-mail or packet me. 73 John VE6OTC

Thanks to a reader tip, I was informed that AEA is right in my backyard,
and I looked them up and ordered the book ($20 plus $5.50 shipping - a

I have a Hayden 75 watt linear amp that works from 3-30 Mhz.
It has preamp and SSB/AM mode capability.  The power LED lights up
but does no good as far as power output.  Any help will be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks Much

Purchased one and played with it for all of one-hour.   Found it to be
quite effective in removing heterodynes.  Can't comment on noise or SSTV
reduction.

I can't use it because I operate strictly digi modes.  Overall, seems to
well worth the $30 asking price *if* you intend to use it on the voice
of cw modes.

It is a waste of time! Pure useless. But if you have $30 you want to
throw away... go for it.

You guys are forgetting that the HTX-212 has an extremely easy mod to be
able to xmit from 143.00 - 149.00.
Just hold down F+DTMF while you turn on the radio.
You don't even have to open up the radio, or do any soldering.  What can
be easier?

Read page 17-18 in your manual.

*Mistake*? I'd hardly think so... more ARRL / RS bashing (I'm surprised at you
, Gary).
A couple of key presses and the limitation is gone - stays permanently in memo
ry unless
the unit is completely reset. I've had my unit for 1-1/2 years and no problems

Any suggestions on new antenna and hookups to the battery.  Was looking
for a way to route the power thru firewall but didnt see any openings.
Also best way to route coax in from rear.

My old car was easy but it looks like it will be more work
on this car.

Hello,

        I am getting ready to purchase some amps (6m, 2m, & 70cm) and
I find that RFC and Mirage make similar models.  For those out there
that may already have experience, I'd like to hear what you do (don't)
like about these.  I am also planning to mount them at the tower so I
also need details on whether these amps have a remote head and what
the cabling requirements are (they'll be 200' from the shack!).

        TIA,

I'm not sure about the 735 but on some of the other ICOM rigs of that
era, they had some bandswitch problems. The IC-701 wat notorous for the
band switch going out. BTW, there is no replacement. I have also seen
problems with the band switching in the 751 but not to the extent as the
701. So that maybe a direction to look.

soooo small!  I used a magnifying glass to see them.
end result gives tx 135-170 400-470 or there abouts
rx up near 480 was mediocre & actually received better at
2x freq -IF freq from memory.  The mod page will say what chips to
remove.  Neat radio isn't it- sooo tiny

cheers

Point your Web browser to:

www.iglou.com/copper


This is the Copper Electronics homepage.  They sell the ChipSwitch
product and have some info on it on-line.

The ChipSwitch is a replacement microprocessor for the HR-2510 and it
allows the radio to tune over a wider range, and adds scanning and
memory capabilities (and repeater offsets for 10 FM).  This is not to
say that the radio will be particularly happy OPERATING at the lower
frequencies, but perhaps with some tuning you could cover both bands
at a reduced power output or receive sensitivity.

I have no personal experience with the ChipSwitch,  only what I have
read and heard.  I do own several HR-2510 radios and they have been
very good performers for me, no complaints at all save one.

The unit I have in my car has a thermal problem (part of which is made
worse by the mounting.... no airflow over the heatsink).  When it gets
REAL hot (from use or interior temperature of the car heatsoaking it)
the microphone audio section stops working intermittantly (key up and
talk and the MOD meter will show audio for a few seconds then will
drop off to nothing, with no audio transmitted either).  It only
happens under the rarest of conditions, and is the only problem I have
ever had.

I have talked mobile with a Larsen 10 meter mag-mount whip to the east
coast from Oregon, and have talked to Japan from the Oregon Coast with
this radio, and I am only getting started!  For the money, it can't be
beat for 10 meters!

Did anyone see the article on "Beyond 2000" or one of those shows which
showed new techno geek kids that were into any type of cool gagets?

In addition to an email address, phone,fax, and beeper, each kid has a
frequency on his business card!

They had four number calls like "4072" and appeared to be using ham and
commercial HT's.  They also used PK-88's
for data transmission.

Anyone see this?

My frequency is 165.2375 Mhz   :-)  just kidding.

p.s. they also QRM'd the Pope's cordless mic for fun.

I too had this kind of trouble with security lights and 460 mhz
signals. Was able to greatly reduce this with disc cap rf bypass
across light sensor.  I got the security light fixture at Walmart.
It was fairly easy to get light apart and install cap.

selling for $250 and the ADI-200 is on sale for $159 which one is better?.
These are 2meter hand held.  They both come with NiCd battery and wall
charger and antenna.  The radio shack also has an alkaline battery pack
and it is extra for ADI.  They both have one year warranties.  The shack
has an option of 5year extended warranty; they also will accept returns
within 30 days of purchase.  The ADI-200 has a seven day return.
        Has anyone had problems with ADI 2meter HT??Is it about the
same as the HTX202 RS??

Does anyone have experience with the ADI Premier line of Mobile Radios?  They
are the only company around that is not charging a fortune for a 440 mono-band
mobile.  Any comments would be appreciated.

ADI AR-446 is the model of interest.

I recently spoke with a fellow ham who had purchased a Advanced RF Design
pre-amp for 432 MHz. The pre-amp has pin diode switching and is rated at
200 watts. He discovered the pin diode switching has gone bad. Has anyone
on the reflector had problems with this pre-amp or others from Advanced
RF Designs? The price is right on these devices but I have heard rumors
about the reliability. Any comments?

Thanks,

I've been looking at the DX70 (also the IC-706 & TS50).  Are you using
(planning to use) the DX70 in a mobile application?  Wonder if anyone is
using it as a base station.  Like the original post, I'm looking for
comments as to strengths/weakness of the rig.  Wonder, too, if the
filters for CW, etc are included.

Rod,

can you please give us some guidance on the ft50
software: apparently it works great on Win 3.1. Is there any
reason that you know of to expect that there would be problems
on (particularly) Win95 or Win NT? There's a lot of rumors
going around, some facts from the source would be great.

TIA,

Such an elegant posting, I hesitate to add anything. If one
ensures that a 4:1 balun sees 200+j0 ohms, the balun will
outperform a transformer over a wider frequency range -
probably why TLTs were invented. I use a balun on the *input*
of my balanced "tuner" to cover 10m-75m. It would be hard to do
that with an air-core transformer without changing taps because
of the 10/1 frequency variation.

`       Are you aware that QST carried an article in the July 1992

dollars versus paying $100 to ICOM.  If you want more info I can look

IN THE FOLLOWING I LIST A DPST SWITCH, ALL THAT IS REQUIRED IS A SPST.
WHEN I ORIGINALLY DREW UP THE PLANS I USED A DPST BUT THEN REALIZED A
SPST WOULD SUFFICE. HOWEVER WHEN I TYPED THIS UP I HAD DPST BRAIN
LOCK. SORRY FOR THE ERROR.


Hello AR8000 owners,

To my knowledge no one has actually posted a filter mod, here is what
I did. This is my approach and I only know it works well on my AR8000.
Your results may vary. Others may have a different solution that
works better or worse.

THE GOOD NEW:
Is it worth the effort. In my opinion YES!
The search mode is vastly improved on the SW bands. Search stops
on the primary frequency and not 1 or 2 times before and after.
Readability of SW stations is vastly improved. In some receiving
instances it reduces adjacent channel interference noticeably.
On AM receive for aviation frequencies a pronounced improvement in
audio quality is noted. You will be able to select WIDE or NARROW
for AM, NFM, USB, LSB.

THE BAD NEWS:
This is a difficult mod to perform. I have been a ham for over 30
years and have extensive homebrew experience. It took all my skill
and a magnifying glass to perform this mod without damaging the
radio. IF YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS MOD!
Find a qualified helper.

There is no way to adequately describe the locations on the circuit
board to be cut and soldered too. You will have to buy or borrow
a service manual.

Study the electrical mods described below and then using an ohm meter
and the service manual find the locations to modify on the circuit
board.

WHAT IS MODIFIED ELECTRICALLY:
The 4khz filter (F4) circuit is paralleled by a a jumper that is used
to bypass the filter for WIDE reception. This selection process is
accomplished by switching diodes on each end of the filter and bypass.

Find U2 pin 11 (AM, FM filter bypass) line. Trace this line to a 22K
resistor that connects to the switching diodes (near the F4 filter).
The voltage from pin 11 is used to bias these diodes into conduction.
Cut through the circuit trace at a convenient location just before
the 22K resistor.

Find U2 pin 4 (SSB, CW filter inline) line. Trace this line to TWO 22K
resistors that connect to the switching diodes (near the F4 filter).
The voltage from pin 4 is used to bias these diodes into conduction.
Cut through the circuit trace at a convenient location just before
the  TWO 22K resistor junction.

Unfortunately there is no way for me to put a schematic in for this
next part but if you draw it out on paper you should be ok. You are
going to mount a small switch on the radio. This must be a DPST
switch.

Connect a wire from the WIDE side of the switch to the single 22K
point.

Connect a wire from the NARROW side of the switch to the dual 22K
resistors point.

Connect TWO 1N914 style switching diodes together to the switch common.
Connect them with the black band facing the switch.
Connect U2 pin 11 to the open end of one diode and U2 pin 4 to the
open end of the other.

What you have done is to install a switch to reverse the normal
filter selection of F4. The 1N914 diodes serve to prevent turning
on the BFO in the AM mode and to prevent grounding when in the
WIDE SSB mode.

If you have questions you may email me but if you post a reply
all may benefit. I make no guarantees, your results could vary.
You might not have much fun performing this mod but you
will enjoy the results.

73's

Just found one for $70 including original box and manual,
and including shipping!  Just got it and it's in

It really pays to be patient and keep the ad running
even when you think no one is reading it.  Keep

Apparently, it doesn't work well under Win95 either. At least, the
claims that simply uploading a "stock" template to a radio that has been
placed in "European" band plan mode do not bear up in a Win95
environment.

I haven't had time to verify that Win 3.1 is the key to the solution.
I'll report when I have results.

I have an ASDEN PCS 2000 which will only put out full power if I
use an antenna tuner and de-tune the antenna. I am using the LEDs
on the front to determine the output. I think that this means that
there is a crowbar circuit protecting the final amp. module which
is faulty. The problem I have is I am not sure which part of the
circuit this is. I don't understand SWR circuits all that well.
The PA module it uses has part no. TMS 1000 NLC on the schematic.
I was wondering if the SWR protection was internal to this module?
How should I go about tracking down this problem?
Thank's

One problem with switching powel supplies is wideband noise. I used a
stock Yaesu switching PS a while ago, and with low and
shortened antennas the noise was overwhelming. It was OK with high
full-sized antennas.

That PS once gave up at a thunderstorm, something that has never
happend with the conventional PS.

Hmmm....and, you picked up on that!  You are absolutely correct. When
using short, non resonant, whips the reactive component will raise the
relatively low feed point impedance (sometime to very high values).
The ensueing dielectric loss due to proximity of the whip base to
vehicle, tuner losses, and additional ground loss  ,will degrade gain
(if any) over an isotropic radiator.
I welcome a "nitpicker". I put myself at the top of the list as having
the ability to be incorrect.
I will challange anyone who makes rationalizations and justifications
why an antenna system need not work to the best of it's ability.
Usually, when challanged, these people use words like "nitpicker".

There is a reason those symbols were invented. Emotion doesn't
transmit well on internet postings. If all one posts are dry
non-emotional boring postings, you don't need them. Flames,
arguments, disagreements abound on the internet and demand
some form of communication to indicate ones emotion on a subject.
Emoticons have a place on the internet. ;-(

They call it PIRATE RADIO because they hang Pirates when they catch them.
That is what the FCC will do if you are caught broadcasting music 5-10
miles on FM Radio without a license. Amateur radio regulations prohibitthe
broadcast of music. Other broadcast of music requires a commercial
broadcast license. You are facing fines ranging from $2000 to $15000 if
you are caught, which means free radio is only free until you are caught.
These are serious fines, the FCC does noto mess around with parking ticket
size penalties. If you choose to use amateur radio FM equipment, licensed
amateurs will quickly track you down and report you to the FCC. Tracking
illegal stations is an Amateur radio hobby/sport.

        There are several.  Have you performed any mods to it yet or
is it still virgin?

One cosists of cutting a jumper and another consists of removing a

IF WHAT YOU SAW WAS A BLACK OR GREY WIDOW ON THE DISPLAY WHEN IT WAS OFF
INSTEAD OF THE USUAL CLEAR THE FOLLOWING APPLIES.

The darkening of the LCD (display) is a standard feature.  Your display
is probably actually still working, it just looks black and has no
contrast.  This is common for LCD's operating above their temperature
rating.  My 706 display always comes back fine after it cools down.  I
have it mounted so an air conditioner vent cools it.  Please note that I
live 60 miles from Death Valley and outside temperatures in excess of
120 are not uncommon.  I have a couple of kenwood 742s in my truck as
well as the 706.  They do not darken up.  This probably indicates a
different LCD material choice for hot conditions by kenwood and the 742
display is much smaller.  I have never had a problem.

You may want to check your connections and make sure the control head is
geting good voltage.  After a display has darkened up it may need the
rated voltage to clear it off.  the other possibility is that the dash
board was still hot.


IF THE DISPLAY WAS CLEAR

The remote cable connection on the radio or display may be marginal and
the heat causes the contacts to open up.  I have some concern over the
strange compression pin connector on the control head.

Good Luck,

Bill Harwood

Here are a couple of problems with the Icom IC-706.
Does anyone have a solution?

The mike has no DTMF keypad for using autopatch or the other tone
controlled features on many 2 meter repeaters.  There is no optional mike
listed which has them either.  Is there any DTMF mike which will work,
both physically and electrically?

The manual lists available tuning steps (in the TS mode) as .1, 1, 5, 9,
10, 12.5, 15, 20, and 100 khz.  It actually is .1 ,1 ,5 ,9 ,10, 12.5, 20,
25, and 100.  This is not too handy for 15 khz repeater spacing.  Is there
any magic key combination which will allow the 15 khz tuning step?

The tension seems almost non-existent on the tuning knob with the lever
all the way down.  Is there any way to adjust it?

Does anyone know which pot to adjust to vary the RF output on the 2mtr
side of the IC-820H? Currently the settings are LOW=4 watts and HI=45 watts.
I'd like to change the LOW setting to about 20 watts for RS-10 work.

Thanks

I have found a near mint Icom IC-271A at what I think is a decent price
and am looking for opinions on this rig. I would also like to ask a few
questions.

Are there any mods for the radio?

How will it work with a TNC for packet?

Can it be used at 9600?

Any transmit or recieve mods that need to done to improve the performance?

What about accessories that I might pick up to enhance the performance?

Thanks in advance,

Lewis Stephens

I just bought a used 2 meter all-mode and wondered if any one had any
opinions and mods for a Icom IC-271A. It seems like a nice little rig and
fairlty sensitive. I can only compare it to my Icom 2350 and a radio shack
rig for performance.

Can it be used for packet and what will I need? How about 9600?
Any recive or transmit options?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Lewis

There is a grommet in the firewall (I forget which side) where the
electrical harness runs to the engine compartment.
If you take a pocket knife and slice thru you can then run your power
wires thru this slit.
I ran a pair of 8 gauge wires thru there with no problem.
Good luck

Look under the car for these. They are black and look like
freeze plug punch outs. I ran my power cables that way up
through some "channels" in the frame and right to the battery.

You are referring to IRC that sells Fox Tango filters. Don't fool with

I am looking to purchase a new mobile dual-bander to put in my Ford Aerostar.

I will be travelling and so power is a consideration, 2m and 70cm bands are
the two primary at this point.  FM operation only at this time.  I have an
older 2m all mode that will stay with me put is not "installed."  Any advice
will be well-received as I have not bought a radio in about three years.
Advice on antennas and mounting on my Aerostar would be great as well.  I know

all you have an opinion.  Please e-mail it to me.

Thanks!

HI,

Any of you know if there are any mods for the ICOM Z1A?
Or any reasons that I should NOT buy one of these guys.


Thanks!

Brian -

I have done a couple of these and here are some random comments :

1.  I did not modifiy the ceramic substrate as you discussed.  The power
    output dropped about 10-15% but otherwise the transmit tuned up ok.
    The transmitter is fairly broad banded and you can get about a 10mhz sprea
d.


2.  The receiver is much more narrow banded and will only split about 3-4 mhz
at
    best.


3.  I have a copy somewhere here of the programming scheme for the PL boards
    that use the plug in resistor networks.  If I remember it takes about 8 10
0K
    resistors to do each tone.  I have some SYS-90 Multi-PL heads if you might

    want to consider these as options.


4.  If you have the programmable board, I can burn you a PROM for the board.


5.  I can also burn you a frequency PROM for the TX/RX frequencies if needed.
    I have a "TUNE UP" PROM that I burned that stepped the frequencies from 46
0 down
    to 440 in 1 mhz steps and this allowed me to tune the TX preselectors very

    easily.


E-mail me if you need further info.

I would like to get a rig for 2 for the House. Perferrably an ICOM
partial to those. Needs Tone encoding prefer programable. Would like
around 45 watts since most repeaters are 30 + Miles away. I was thinking
along the line of an IC27H don't know if they have tone though.  Anything
used that would fit that bill by all means synsthesized. Also interested
in 220 and 440 rigs. Along with Antennas.

I believe it was 73 magazine. The transmitter used a SAW oscillator. I built
one from scratch. It worked pretty well. I too loaned out the magazine and
never saw it again. You can call 73 magazine and buy back issues. I see the
transmitters for sale at the TRW swapmeet in LA. They want quite a bit for
them. I think they are abt 140.00 dollars. I'm not positive though.

Good Luck.

A local scout unit/school group wants to setup a fixed HF/VHF station, and
a mobile HF/VHF station.  They have received donations of VHF equipment
(radios, antennas, meters, etc...) so the VHF side is well taken care of.
They don't have much money for HF gear at this point.  I'm posting this to
get your varied opinion as to what kind (Make - Model) radio works/holds
up best for these type groups.  The group is seven strong now with two
no-coders, three tech+s, and two generals.  They have a radio class setup
to start two weeks after school starts to hopefully gain 5 to 12 more
members.  They would love find a source for good used equipment.

OmniVI vs FT1000MP
Summary of comments

1.  A couple of people had microprocessor problems with the OmniVI
possibly due to a high RF envronment. Others did not.
2.  One person claimed some top dxÆers/contesters changed to an
"offshore" rig after using the OmniVI.
3.  Internal noise claimed to be 5-6db less on OmniVI
4.  QSK on OmniVI not as good as OmniV.
5.  Some didnt like the construction of the OmniVI.
6.  OmniVI has some operating quirks(no details).
7.  FT1000MP works perfect out of the box.
8.  Great radio if you only do cw(OmniVI).
9.  FT1000MP quiter claimed receive audio.
10.  OmniVI advantages: service, U.S  made, cw filters sound better.
11.  Buy FT1000MP without internal supply-runs cooler.
12.  Filters are expensive for FT1000MP.
13.  Some people have had service problems with both.
14.  One person thought FT1000(MP?) was vastly inferior to TenTec Scout
and other rigs during Field Day. Horrible Yeasu service.
15.  Other advantages or disadvantages were concerning operator
preferences, whether one had a tuner, second receiver, and other bells
and whistles.

If anyone has more comments , I would be interested in seeing them.

It's a low end amplifier using 3  811 tubes much like the AL-811 from
Ameritron. It does have the qsk feature. I saw one displayed at Dayton.

Hello Folks.

I've got a VHF Transceiver Kenwood TM-241(HM3). It is Brand new
and the present state is TX/RX 136-173.995 MHz. But I'd like to
know how to expand reception to the "Air Band" (118-136 MHz).
Thanks a lot in advance.

I have am considering buying a Kenwood TS-450. I would like to get it
with the CW filter(s) as I will be using it for some CW. My question
is... There are two 500Hz filter options availible. 1st IF and 2nd IF.
Is there an advantage to one over the other? I would greatly appreciate
any input on this subject. Thanks.

You probably would be better off going with the IF that is reached first
by the incoming signal.  Eliminate the interference at the beginning to
avoid images, etc...

I think that in the 450 (I own one too) the first IF is the 8.83.  I
actually have the 450 and it came with the 500 hz CW in the 455 IF.
Works fine.  I'm probably going to get the 1.8 khz ssb for the 8.83, and
then maybe the 270 hz CW for the 8.83.

You should probably check on which IF is first, though.  I couldn't find
it in the instruction manual, but I think that what's above is ok.  Try
calling kewnwood, or mailing them over the net.

Good luck!

Ben,

As a happy TS450 owner, I might be able to help here.  I used both the
8.8mhz and 455khz 500 hz filters and did not notice too much of a
difference.  I eventually replaced the 455khz with the 270hz narrow CW
filter--love that one!!!!  If you are serious about CW consider owning
both.  If you don't need the 270hz, I'd probably put the 500hz in the
455khz IF.

My .02 worth!

The long pins between the top and bottom boards of the counter often
get oxidised and make poor contact with the push thru sockets.
Just pulling it apart/reassembling will sometimes fix it for a while.

Another trick I was put onto was to give the pins (all sqaure section)
a 45degree rotation with pliers - that way they make GOOD contact!
Fixed my problems way back then.

Cheers. Murray Kelly vk4aok.

Hi Gary.  In ref to using a Diplexer on the IC-706, would the same
protection be achieved by using only the VHF side of the diplexer
on the VHF input of the 706?  That is,  is it necessary to hook
the HF side of the rig to the diplexer (assuming one can find an
antenna to run both HF and VHF ?)

thanks,
Joe

Hello all,
          can anyone be of assistance. My FT101E has gone a bit Deaf with
age; (a bit like its owner,75yrs and wearing a hearing aid).
However joking apart, I am looking for details on the alignment procedures
of this equipment. I have circuit diagram and details of the RF Stages
alignment but nothing on the bandpass,mixer and IF stages. My test
equipment is Digital Sig. Gen and Oscilloscope.
Tnx Tommy G3OPM

Since this is such a new unit, I thought I would start a thread and
see if anyone else has any comments on the FT8000R.  I purchased mine
last Firday (8/9) and have it up and running in the shack at this
time.  Haven't had it on the road yet, but will this Wednesday and
we'll see what happens.

So far this has turned out to be a great unit.  Everyone that has
heard it say it has great audio.  And, it appears that it also has
great sensitivity on receive.  One real nice feature, and this may
exist on other units, is the ability to scan the whole band and store
active frequencies in a special memory.  That way when you visit a new
area, you can scan and store the frequencies used there.  And, yes
there is programming software available for this rig just like the
FT-50R, etc.  Also, it's really nice to be able to scan the 140 band
at the same time you scan the 440 band.  You can be talking on one and
still scan the other.

The only thing I have found so far that is a little annoying is that
it has the ability to story only ONE 16 digit DTMF Autodiler number
per channel.  Any thing else has to be entered through the key pad on
the microphone.  And, you can't hear the tones being sent.

Re:  the use of a longer control cable on the DX70.  I made a long cable
by splicing 2 cables together.  Alinco does not recommend it but I have
not had a single problem in my installation (DX70 in a Ford F150 fedding a
SG230 automatic antenna tuner and a homemade antenna).

Has anyone used the FNB-42 9.6V 1100mah battery with the FT-50R?
Does anyone know if it will fit inside the NC-50 charger shells that the
FT-50R drops into?  Those shells _just_ accept the FNB-41 600mah
batteries; if the 1100mah battery is any fatter I don't see how it
would fit...

Thanks for any thoughts.

With the power outage here in the west last Saturday,
I was thinking about getting a multi use generator.

Does the group have any thoughts?

I'm thinking 2250 watts, good muffler, to run fridge,
couple of lights, couple of fans, maybe alternating
fridge (1 hour on) with room air conditioner (3 hours
 on).  Field day once a year, emergencies other times.

Need to put some stabilizer in the remaining gasoline?
Gas here in California is bogus with the new formula.

Have heard, "Store 5 gallons of unleaded.  After 3 months
mix it into car gas, replace with fresh."

Check oil every tank of gas I assume.  Change it once a
year or if especially dirty, sticky?

Probably, one wants to ground the generator, and run a
power cord into the appliances unless an electrician
has installed a double pole double throw switch on house
and I have the intelligence to shut A/C, range, oven,
and most lights off?

Thanks for your experience, ideas, etc.

220V outlets in homes usually mean you have 208 VAC dual-phase power.

This in turn means you have two 120 VAC lines, which are electrically 120 degr
ees out of phase
with one-another. The additional (third) phase brings you a full electrical 36
0 degrees of power.

Usually, your dryer's electrical motor will be wired to take advantage of this
 phase difference,
and you will either need to rewire the motor connections to work with single p
hase AC, or buy a
completely different motor. Failure to do so may invite your dryer motor (and
any other
dual-phase devices in your home) to an unplanned cookout. Or cookin.

There may be reasons you don't need to worry about this - since I've always wi
red 2 and 3 phase
motors to 220 2 or 3 phase supplies, I really dunno what might happen, but I'v
e seen rewind shops
in the Navy arrange coils to use phase rotation to make the motor work - in fa
ct, we used to have
to check phasing with a phase rotation meter before bringing a motor back on l
ine, if it had been
rewired. Failure to do so would have been disasterous in some cases (I'm think
ing about missile
elevator motors - our officers had no sense of humor about pressing the "up" b
utton, and having a
few tons of nuclear material go "down"). Fractional horsepower motors may be w
ired in a more
forgiving manner. See an electrician to be sure.

Generators are better than alternators, so you're off to a good start.
However, keep in mind that any appliance with an electric motor is a big
burden on a generator!  Electric motors as a rule have an inrush current
durring startup, that can be six times the normal running current!  Most
room air conditioners I've seen require more current than the average
home generator can deliver.  A unit that is rated for 120VAC, 15A, is
approx. 1800 watts!  I don't think a 2250 watt generator would be able
to start it, even if it was the only device on-line at the time.  Also,
a better muffler than what normally comes with the generator will also
reduce the horse power developed by the engine, because it will not be
able to breath as well, i.e., a more restricted exhause, will result in
less air and gas intake.  This is why racing engines are so loud.  As
for the gasoline...I've kept a "full" tank in my motorcycle and
lawnmower during the winter, and a "full" tank in my snowblower, over
the summer, with no problems.  I think the key here is to keep it "full"
so there is very little air to attack it.  Plus you can always recycle
the gas to and from your car every so often.  You might want to consider
about a 3500 watt generator for the application you have in mind.  You
can also rig up automatic power transfer systems, as well as automatic
battery powered startups on your power system if you want to get fancy!

p.s.  Look into some good surge protections for your sensitive

If the LCD dims or a part of the LCD segments does not display anything
when set to the frequency display mode.

The display will return to normal operation when you press the lower part
of the display with your finger.

Fix:
This trouble is due to insufficient contact at the connector.  The
connector between the control unit and the LCD assembly.  Sometimes this
situation arises because of slight pressure in the mounting of the LCD.

Either reduce the thickness of the connector from 1.1mm to 1.0m so there
is less pressure on it.  You can replace the connector:E29-1123-15 to be
changed to E29-1123-25.  Kenwood will be happy to fix any radios that
have this occurence.

Tight shielding, quality bypassing caps (ie: 500pf + .1uf + >10uf, and
ferrite choke in line should kill most noise.

Be sure your power supply includes minimum load resistor.  Some may not.
If not, under light loading the supply could fall out of regulation.
Before hooking to $$ equipment, check voltage at all expected loads.

Hello,
  I'm just getting started in HF. I'm looking to purchase a rig. I would prefe
r
a portable rig but quiality counts for me. I've sort of narrowed down all the
HF rigs for me to the Icom 706, Yaesu FT-900CAT, FT-990, or a TenTec Omni VI.
Any opinions of comparisons would be appreciated.
   Also, I need a verticle antenna, my location won't allow a tower and beams
of any sort. The Cushcraft R7000 was recommended. I want a multiband that
includes 160meters. I have found a verticle by Sommers Antennas out of Geneva,

Fl. But no one in my area has one so I have no real way of knowing it's
quality. Any comments here?

Thanks in advance,

Yeah, the part number for the operator's manual is MU 1901101.
However, don't expect Tandy National Parts to send you an original
manual -- they only have photocopies available at a cost of $6.64
each plus tax and $2 shipping.  Same holds true for the service
manual too (part number MS 1901101).

It's a pretty good little radio, John, but it only does 10 watts
on 6m. The IC-706 does 100 watts on 6m. That could matter since
external amplifiers for 6m that only need 10 watts of drive look
suspiciously like bootleg CB amps to the FCC, and aren't available
from reputable sources.

100 watts is a good power level for 6m, but 10 watts is often a bit
too little. And of course you're getting an all-mode 2m rig thrown
in with the IC-706 that is missing from the DX-70T. Is that worth
$300? I think so.

Pure HF performance of the two radios is similar. Both have deficiencies
compared to larger rigs, but both are adequate for most uses. If you
are heavy into CW operating, the DX70T has better keying. OTOH, the
IC706 works better with Clover and PACTOR. Neither is a FT1000.

Hello to all,
I would like to get a scanner mic for my Icom 730. It appears the HM-10
is no longer produced. Can anyone tell me which if any of the newer mics
will work?
Thanks in advance

E' stupendo! Ma necessita di un filtro SSB per le HF.
It's beautiful! But needs an SSB filter for the HF bands.

I really had trouble finding that hole in the wall that was
mentioned on here at the time I installed my radio.

I put a Kenwood 742 remote unit in the little cubby holes in
the very back, ran the cable/control/power up to the
back passenger seats. Ran the power through the floor, and
the control cables up the console area.

Worked out pretty well.

I need to install through the roof antennas now. Havn't taken
off the head liner, that might be a huge task? ANYONE DONE IT?

I do know better than to drill the holes in the roof right
on the cross-beams. I have seen people make that mistake before.

In my '93, there's a rubber booted wire bundle running through the firewall in
 the upper right
corner of the firewall.  I ran 8 GA power straight back from the battery to a
DC power outlet
box just below the glovebox.

Hi,

I have a TM 241 A    radio  serial #  51103328.

The radio has been exhibiting erratic display's.  The display sometimes
is jumbled or partly legible or other times full of all the numbers and
letters. Sometimes turning it on or off corrects the problem and
sometimes not.  The present operation or mode remains the same but I
cannot change frequency or modes when this happens
This situation is intermittent and I cannot determine what causes it.
Have examined the radio for loose connections but cannot duplicate the
problem.  Sometimes the radio operates normally for days.

A friend with a similar radio , ser # 50800237 experiences the same
thing.  Is there a Kenwood fix for this problem ?

Your comments would be appreciated

Thanks, Claude

I have a TH-79A(D) and it is a great radio.  I have never had anything but
extremely good service from their customer support and I highly recommend it
just for that.  The radio itself is very nice.  I was looking at both the
FT51 and the TH79 and chose the TH79 because it felt better in my hand and
in my opinion it is more ergonomic.  I liked the backlit keypad of the FT51
but once I got used to the placement of the keys on the TH79 I prefer it.
I can use it at night and be completely invisible which is sometimes important
.
The other thing I like about it is the menu feature.  I am very technically
inclined but I cant remember all 70+ pages of the manual after some time and
I find the menu comes in very handy for not often used functions.  Otherwise
the radio is very intuitive.

My wife has the TH28A and the two radios work together with so many features
that we love.  We also have the TM733 in the car and you can use the TH79
as a remote control for th TM733 and that is an incredibly cool feature.  We
dont use it much but it is cool.  I have been very happy with Kenwood.  Their
products are rock solid with impressive performance and features.  Their
customer support is really, really good.  A lost art in this age of obsolete
when bought products.  I can highly recommend the TH79A(D).  I am not in
any way associated with Kenwood except that I am a happy customer. If you
would like to know more specifics about the radio you can email me.

Hello Jim,

I am using that BD-35 for almost 6 months with my FT51R and I found it
is
very satifactory. With 5 watt input, I can get 50Watt on VHF and 35Watt
on UHF. Though it will getting a bit hot after 30mins of operations.

Robert VE7SDU

Jese do you even have a PK-88? I got one for thirty five dollars and I
have never had a problem with it. Also the manual tell you how to hook
it up better then my kpc-3's does.

For whoever asked I will be happy to loan them my manual if they will

I would like to hear from those Hams using the Heathkit QRP rigs.  How
well do they perform?  What mods are recommended to eliminate
weaknesses?  How well do they compare to the modern QRP kits?  Is the

I don't know if they have changed in the last few years but; the one I
had in the back of my truck for four years just self distructed after
Christmas.  I found the inside PWB had charred from an Arch over.
Things were comming lose inside.  The mountng ears on the case cracked
and fell off.

I liked the unit and used it consistantly for four years but I suggest
looking at the ICOM units (AH-2 and AH-3).

I would be reluctant to pay over about $200. for a used one.

IMHO

All you need do is supply 12 volts, connecter your Radio and connect
the antenna. The antenna output is a ceramic standoff. The input is
coaxial. It will tune any antenna that is longer than 15 meters.
It remembers tune positions as long as the 12 volts is not removed but
even then tuning takes only a few seconds.
Hope this helps.

I am looking for some simple answer re. the VX-10 that the dealer's I've
talked with cannot seem to answer:

        1.  Can the VX-10 450 - 485 version can be tuned down into the Ham
             band?
        2.  Can the VX-10 be programmed via the ADMS software?  If not, is the
             software available to individuals?
        3.  Can the VX-10 150 - 163 version also be tuned or programmed into
             the Ham band?

Any info would be GREAT!

Yep.  I've heard bad things about the miracle baby.  I guess they call it
that because it's a miracle if you can get a QSO with it! :-)  There is
an antenna of similar length that is supposed to do much better but I
can't remember which one it is.

Actually, the Maldol antenna is a small spring in a flexable rubber condom, so
I would say it should be pretty wear-resistant, and the spring isn't going to
get damaged.  :)  I have used mine quite a bit and I have no tears or what not
in the rubber.. The name has worn off of it, but other than that.  Also, it
being a spring, you can tune it.  I didn't have to trim the antenna, I simply
'screwed' it onto the BNC base a little farther.  It with a tiger tail is a
pretty decent antenna for repeater work.  WAY too effected by the body though,
no good to wear it on your belt, it destroys the pattern and doesn't hear much
at all.

Good antenna..  *great* for ducky-only DFing, you can take the condom off and
it's a pretty good antenna still, just about 20db attenuated!  And a decent
lobe off the tip, I've 'pointed out' a fox before with it.  (With better
success than some ducky methods I've used).

I wonder what the Black Bullet Comet (or is it Diamond?) sells is..  It's
about two BNC connectors tall..  Probably no better than being totally without
an antenna.. :)

I'm waiting for the 9db gain 'Intenna' HTs to come out...  *smirk*

frequency less than 50 KHz increments?  I do not own the programming

Does anyone know how prone to intermod this radio might be ? Also, has
anyone installed the PL decode kit ? I'm wanting to buy one of these
radio to use as a base unit powered off a power supply, but am concerned
because of the wide receive range it might have intermod problems.

I had a 757 that lost Rx and Tx on AM.  I was told that it was
probably the AM filter or something in the AM filter switching.

That's all I know.  The radio was sold without the AM section working.

I have a problem that requires factory service center service (parts

All of the Palomar, Texas Star, Boomer, Thunderbolt,
Messenger, Silver Eagle, Shooting Star, etc. are advertised
as Class AB-1.

Proposition: I have in my drawer a Deer Hunter 100, 100 watt
linear for 3-30 MHz. am/fm/auto ssb;
If a regular from this group would be willing to test &
report the findings to the group, I will donate the amp for
testing. It is new, still in the box, and comes with a
schematic.

Let me know if you have adequate testing facilities and are
willing...

I owned an original TH-79A (not the "D" model) on which I performed
the same mod. It expanded as advertised. Along the way I sold the 79A.
Later, my son and I each acquired TH-79A(D)'s. I modified both of them
using the same mod. Like yours, both of ours expanded to only 410-470.

Kenwood obviously made a change to the 79A(D) which changed the effect
of the mod.

When the TH-79 first came out, amateurs were upset by the lack of a
memory lock-out feature. With 80 memories, one needs to have a way to
lock out certain ones while scanning.

Kenwood re-developed the CPU to add this feature, but as a side
effect, the extended receive coverage was shortened. It appears that
you performed the modification correctly. I have owned 2 TH-79s, one
new and one old.

   I'd highly recommend Down East Microwave.  They have quality
kits and factory-assembled transverters, for just about every band from
DC to Daylight.

Hello Eveybody,
  I am looking for a HyGain tape measure dipole antenna.  This antenna
is actually two tape measure built into one piece, including the
feedpoint.  All you do is pull out the apporopriate amount of tape to
operate on your frequecny, and you are on the air!
  If you, or anybody you know, has one of these antennas for sale,
please E-Mail me as I am interested in taking it off your hands!
  Thank!

The PK-80 was AEA's clone of  the TAPR TNC-2.  Still perfectly good for
1200 bps packet and is upgradable with add on modems for 9600.  Virtually
same as MFJ-1270.  Suggest upgrading the firmware with latest TNC-2 or
PacComm Tiny-2 firmware.

I have at least 4 of the PK-80s currently in service as TheNET nodes in
our network.

Never heard of a PK-90.  Might have been a commercial version.  If it
looks the same layout as the PK-80,  try dropping the TNC-2 firmware into
it and making sure that the modem is tuned to 1200/2200 freqs as per the
TNC-2 calibration instructions.

Since these TNCs are approximately 10 years old, suggest checking the
backup battery and reburning the state eprom.  See article at

http://www.cam.org/~radio/halflife.html

for further details.

I just picked up a Mirage B5030G 300W 2M amplifier that I want to use
when I go on camping trips. I already know that my FT-211 at 50W just
BARELY gets into a repeater from my favorite spot (when I'm lucky)
 But, I also understand that it's possible to destroy some car's
computer with a strong RF field. Does anybody know how to find out if
your car is one of the ones that will fry?

I agree 100%.  I've owned my DJ-f1T(hp) for several years, and I have
never owned a better all-around performer in a handheld.  Sensitivity
on the aircraft band is astounding, better than any of my three VHF
scanners (Cobra, Uniden, Realistic).  Performance on 2m is superb,
with plenty of clean speaker audio, and excellent transmit audio.  It
has enough "bells and whistles" to keep even a seasoned gadget freak
occupado for days on end, and many of these features are actually
useful!  The construction quality is tops, and it has a great "feel"
to it... like it's built to last.  I highly recommend this handheld!

I have a mint Drake R4C receiver. Works Great. I also have a Drake TR-4
which I recently purchased at a swapfest. The TR-4 seems to have been
built during the "B" line era; Tunning knob has the 1 KHz markings on
the Dial Skirt. The "C" line has a concentric window still announcing a
1 KHz resolution. My question is about "backlash" or a tighter, less
smoothing feel on the "C" line, wheras the R4, R4A, TR-4 and R4B have a
much smoother feel. Is this normal for the "C"? Can it be fixed?

Also Looking for a AC-4 or AC-3 AC power supply.

Thanks!

I have a working HP432A power meter and the associated HP478
thermistor mount for sale. I will include the power cable and a
copy of the manual appropriate to this power meter's S/N. Price,
including shipping within the 48 states, is $150. I established
this price by taking Tucker's price and dividing by 5. First one
to respond via E-Mail is the winner.
                                        Thank you, Dale

I think the correct algorithm is to take Tucker's price and divide by 10.

I'm selling my Icom Z-1A with detachable face plate. IT's brand new.
I've only used it for 1 month. It is a true duel band, with cross
duplex. I've only used it in the car. It has a special tone squelch
and everything. This one of the best I've ever used. I bought it for
$450, and am willing to sell it for $350 FIRM.

I have for sale an Icom W21AT dual bander.  It is in very good
condition, and I have all the original box, manuals, etc.  It is capable
of full 800MHz receive, and 50-300. 300-500 as well with good
sensitivity.  Also has full duplex cross band repeater built in.  I am
asking $260 firm.  This is the best price you can get on an HT of this
sophistication and condition, trust me -- you'll love it.  I really have
no use for the 440 side, and I would like to get a 2 meter only HT.
Please respond to:
[e-mail] or call [phone] before 10:30 eastern.  You pay
shipping.

Thanks, and 73
Adam, N1QBK

I have a FT8500 2m/440 mobile the original Smart Controller microphone
and the recently introduced back-lit model as well as the FSK8500
separation kit.  This is one of the finest mobiles on the market today.
The extra microphone and separation kit add $175 to the new cost of the
radio, but I'll ship UPS COD for $600 - total package.  If ur in market
for radio of this type u can't beat price !  Was in car 3 months

Has anyone used the FNB-42 9.6V 1100mah battery with the FT-50R?
Does anyone know if it will fit inside the NC-50 charger shells that the
FT-50R drops into?  Those shells _just_ accept the FNB-41 600mah
batteries; if the 1100mah battery is any fatter I don't see how it
would fit...

Thanks for any thoughts.

generators. Luckily all went well and no one was hurt or killed.  I did

Living on the north coast of California where we are accustom to power
outages. (The last one was for more than one week.)

The first rule is to open the mains before starting the generator.
Because 1) my generator will not power my neighbors and myself and
2) when the power is restored the generator will not become tost.

Try W7FG Manuals. They probably have the Mohican manual. You can
access their web page at http://newton.eigen.net/w7fg.

No connection, other than a satisfied customer who has found several

Maybe you are adjusting the tuner incorrectly?  What happens when the
tuner is connected up, but on direct - e.g. bypassing the tuner?

Can you tune up into the dummy load, with a good SWR? You should be able
to do so.

I have never had this problem, but have never tried to use a tuner on
antennas with less than a 2:1 mismatch.

any other meter showed the antenna ok.

I've owned the FT2400H for years with out a hitch. All of a sudden,
the display goes haywire. Seems to be randomly indicating segments of
the display. Freq reads ***** instead of a number, each segment is shown
as enc, dnc, low, but not having anything to do with the settings
of the radio. The unit seems to still listen and transmit on the
programmed freqs, but I have no idea what they are.

Anybody seen this problem?  can you help?
Please respond by post reply if possible.

Tight shielding, quality bypassing caps (ie: 500pf + .1uf + >10uf, and
ferrite choke in line should kill most noise.

Be sure your power supply includes minimum load resistor.  Some may not.
If not, under light loading the supply could fall out of regulation.
Before hooking to $$ equipment, check voltage at all expected loads.

The other bad problem with many of those old switcher power supplies is

I have purchased two of them in the past two years - and not a single

Hello,

Lately UHF HT600s are running in the $200-$250 range. This is VERY
dependent on them being the 449-470 version and not some off the wall
490-520 or 406-430 type.  Good radios and with the DTMF and charger, $250
probably wouldn't be to much.

Tom

   But you don't even have to make a circuit change - my HTX-202 does
a fantastic job on 9600bps packet just by using the appropriate taps.
Unless you count the hole I drilled in the case as a mod, of course.  :-)

I didn't catch the name of the original sender, but I have an HTX-212.  Your p
roblem dealt with how to clear the s1-s5 scan block frequencies.  I discovered
 by accident that if you press shift when you are in the mode to set the s1 fr
equency, this will clear it.  No, they don't tell you this in the manual, I ju
st found out by accident.  73, Dave

My HTX-404 works perfectly EXCEPT that it won't open repeaters that
are CTCSS-only blocked.  I can work non-PL repeaters easily.  I've
gone through all the programming and verification steps in the manual,
and the display says it's transmitting PL tones.

Good news:  I have extended warranty, took it to RS, it came back as
completely checked out with no problem found.  I even had the store
manager verify that it is programmed to transmit PL tones.

Bad news: I tested against an FT-530 that has PL decode, and the
FT-530 did not notice any transmitted PL tones.  the HTX-404 still
won't open PL-only repeaters, either.  Conclusion: it still does not
transmit PL tones, though everything else works fine.

Is this a "known" problem?  I'd like to have a bit more ammunition in
hand when I take it to RS for service again.

Thanks in advance!

See if a local radio shop or a technical ham can look at
the transmitted signal in a communications monitor.
This will tell if it is transmitting tone.
They can also verify the frequency of the tone (if any).

The 15 Khz tuning step is a misprint in the manual, the radio never had that
tuning step.

I just bought an IC-738 HF rig. I would appreciate any comments from
other IC-738 or 736 owners regading the performance of the autotuner.
Either my rig is not working properly or my expectations for the
autotuner's performance ar set too high. Here is what I am seeing.

Using my G5RV multi-band dipole the best SWR achieved (as measured with
an external meter is around 2.5 - 1 at 20mtrs. It gets worse at 40 and
evn worse on 80. At first I assumed antennea problems so I took the rig
to another hams location where he had multiple antenneas to play with.

On his tri-bander at twenty meters it would autotune to around 1.6 -1.
On 40 meters it would autotune to 1.1 -1 at the ssb portion of the band
but tune to 2.0 -1 at the CW portion. With out much effort and using an
external ant. tuner (bypassing the autotuner) we could easily achieve
1.1 matching all across the HF spectrum using the appropriate ant. Yet
what should be a fairly easy task for an auto tuner turned out to
be, more often than not, a disapointing performance (3.0 -1 and
sometimes greater SWR).

Again, if anyone has one of these rigs I would like to hear about your
rigs performance re. the autotuner. My basic concern is, do I have a
problem with a brand new rig?  Thanks in advance for your input.

The Icom 706 tranceiver provides some support for their own automatic
tuners; I'd like use this support for a kind of souped-up "Tennamatic"
interface to my Screwdriver antenna.  (See 73, Jul79 or QST, Oct82.)

Although the IC706 instruction and service manuals don't provide any
description of the tranceiver/tuner interface, here's what I believe
I can infer:

The AT180/IC706 interface uses 3 signals:

  BDT - (aka BOT, TSTR, and STRT) appears to be an active-low output from
        the IC706 which initiates a tuning sequence.

  TKEY - appears to be an active-low output from the tuner which keys IC706
        transmitter (perhaps at reduced power?) during the tuning process.

  SEND - Is a wired-or, active-low output from the IC706 that tells the
        tuner the tranceiver is transmitting.

The AH3/IC706 interface omits the SEND signal; the TSTR alias is used
for the BDT signal.

Can anyone out there confirm or deny my inferences?

I think.  Therefore, I think I am.

It's a pretty good little radio, John, but it only does 10 watts
on 6m. The IC-706 does 100 watts on 6m. That could matter since
external amplifiers for 6m that only need 10 watts of drive look
suspiciously like bootleg CB amps to the FCC, and aren't available
from reputable sources.

100 watts is a good power level for 6m, but 10 watts is often a bit
too little. And of course you're getting an all-mode 2m rig thrown
in with the IC-706 that is missing from the DX-70T. Is that worth
$300? I think so.

Pure HF performance of the two radios is similar. Both have deficiencies
compared to larger rigs, but both are adequate for most uses. If you
are heavy into CW operating, the DX70T has better keying. OTOH, the
IC706 works better with Clover and PACTOR. Neither is a FT1000.

Hate to break it to you, but I have had one for a long time and it does what

This is response to the many requests for such info I've seen of late:

There are some shareware programs like LogEQF and commercial programs
which support the Icom CI-V interface.  I built a hardware interface
kit from JBI (800-524-8658).  This kit connects the serial PC port to
the radio and includes several shareware programs at least 2 of which I
got to work fine.  (If the software doesn't explicitly include a 706
option, you can try the Icom 735 or comparable CI-V standard which
worked in one case for me.  The 706 set-up menu has port addressing
selectable, so some combination/tinkering I found to work.)

The kit has EVERYTHING needed.  You basically build a small circuit
board into the 232 "D" shell (an isolator/driver) and connect it via
the supplied shielded cable and 1/8" plug to the CI-V socket on the
rig.  You get freq. readout on the PC as well as mode (maybe one other
parameter), depending on the software you use.  I think some software
will also get you control over the rig (at least mode & freq.)--I was
thinking of trying AEA's Windows Log, but it's commercial at $49.  (I
haven't found any software that I liked very much, but am still in the
market.)  I think I paid around $30 for the JBI kit and was very
pleased.

Have been using a 706 mobile on a trial basis for about a week after long
experience using the TS-50S and a 50W 2 meter rig in the car. If you need
DC thru 2 meters in 1 box then 706 is obvious way to go. But the TS-50S
receiver is head and shoulders above the 706 in a mobile environment.
Problem is one) high level  of inherent receiver background noise and two)
susceptibility to induced noise from power lines and the like.
Interestingly, there is no problem with ignition noise. Also, for my
travels the 10W on 2 meters just isn't enough. One man's experience and
opinion. Good luck with your choice. N2SS

Hi,

I have a TM 241 A    radio  serial #  51103328.

The radio has been exhibiting erratic display's.  The display sometimes
is jumbled or partly legible or other times full of all the numbers and
letters. Sometimes turning it on or off corrects the problem and
sometimes not.  The present operation or mode remains the same but I
cannot change frequency or modes when this happens
This situation is intermittent and I cannot determine what causes it.
Have examined the radio for loose connections but cannot duplicate the
problem.  Sometimes the radio operates normally for days.

A friend with a similar radio , ser # 50800237 experiences the same
thing.  Is there a Kenwood fix for this problem ?

Your comments would be appreciated

Thanks, Claude

that needs to be installed before the TS-940 can talk to your computer.
I was told that the IF-10B was discontinued for a long time and this

I have a TH-79A(D) and it is a great radio.  I have never had anything but
extremely good service from their customer support and I highly recommend it
just for that.  The radio itself is very nice.  I was looking at both the
FT51 and the TH79 and chose the TH79 because it felt better in my hand and
in my opinion it is more ergonomic.  I liked the backlit keypad of the FT51
but once I got used to the placement of the keys on the TH79 I prefer it.
I can use it at night and be completely invisible which is sometimes important
.
The other thing I like about it is the menu feature.  I am very technically
inclined but I cant remember all 70+ pages of the manual after some time and
I find the menu comes in very handy for not often used functions.  Otherwise
the radio is very intuitive.

My wife has the TH28A and the two radios work together with so many features
that we love.  We also have the TM733 in the car and you can use the TH79
as a remote control for th TM733 and that is an incredibly cool feature.  We
dont use it much but it is cool.  I have been very happy with Kenwood.  Their
products are rock solid with impressive performance and features.  Their
customer support is really, really good.  A lost art in this age of obsolete
when bought products.  I can highly recommend the TH79A(D).  I am not in
any way associated with Kenwood except that I am a happy customer. If you
would like to know more specifics about the radio you can email me.

I lost the 2M final section shortly after my radio went out of warranty.  Sent

it to Kenwood for repair and it cost well over $100 parts and labor.  I almost

never use the 70 cm side and no problem there so far.

Postings in this news group about a year ago suggested that the heat sinks for

these finals as produced at the factory were not adequate.

No problem for the last year or so.  But if it goes again I may consider
replacing the radio instead of repairing.

My guess is that you have a relay, related to that frequency range, that
is not switching properly. I've had no problems with mine but have been
told by others that when a relay goes bad, the tuner won't stop hunting.

Good Luck.

  I have a Uniden scanner with an LCD display.  If the unit is
mounted under the dashboard, the display can be read easily.
But if the scanner is mounted overhead (as in my van), the
display is impossible to read.  The LCD digits seem to fade out
when the radio is above the observer.  (I'm making an assumption
that the manufacturer intended under-the-dash mounting.)
  Is there and easy fix for this?

Just called MFJ about their 6 meter radio. (9406)
Due to a current lack of " trained testers",
they said that they are currently filling orders from 6 months ago.
(I already had a two month wait)
So, I dropped my order.  Going for a transverter now..
(What was Ten-Tec's # :)  )

Just some FYI

Joel,

I have the same exact setup you are describing.  The ft-50r with the
19" MFJ dual band antenna.  It works great for me and I use the wide
receive a lot myself also.  Some gain over the duck, but it makes a big
difference on your signal out.  No rf bouncing around inside the cab.

I also occasionally connect the MFJ to my BC3000xlt scanner and it works
great with it also.

My only complaint is all the connectors to make the ant. work with the
ft-50.  For those of you not familiar with the 50...it has a sma adapter
for the antenna.  Anybody know of a source to get an adapter to make a
cable?  I checked out radio shack, but no luck.

You can get the MFJ antenna from HRO for $14.95.  Let me know if you need
a number.

You bet. HRO carries an SMA-BNC adapter for the FT-50r. Be sure to ask for
the one for the FT-50, as they also carry one for the FT-10 that is
threaded differently.

The MFJ comes with a PL-259 to BNC adapter, so that's all you need.

I currently use the 19" version too.

For that kind of money, it's a great antenna. Well, almost anything is
better than the rubber duckie anyway. But I do have two concerns.

First, the part that screw into the base which makes the contact is not
"paint" free. I need to use my XACTO knife to scrap off the paint to
make sure a good contact could be make.

Second, the mag mount is not very strong. So if you drive fast, you may
end up with just a coax hanging in the free air. But for $14.95, it's
kind of asking too much. Remember that a good mag mount by Larsen costs
$30 or so.

I will probably use the MFJ until I save up some money and get a Larsen.
But until then, I am having fun with my cheap MFJ.

Right, that is what I am doing now.  That makes three connectors...the
cable has the PL-259, to the BNC to the SMA to the radio.  The
conglomeration of adapters and connectors is bigger than the radio ;)

What I was hoping for was a SMA connector I could use to make a cable.
Thereby, bypassing all the connectors and adapters at the radio.  That
would be much cleaner and easier.

Thanks for the input though...

70-056c into the ham bands if that is your goal.  Find a midland dealer
somewhere or send me the e-prom, and I'll program it.

Hello Jim,

I am using that BD-35 for almost 6 months with my FT51R and I found it
is
very satifactory. With 5 watt input, I can get 50Watt on VHF and 35Watt
on UHF. Though it will getting a bit hot after 30mins of operations.


Regards,

Robert VE7SDU

 You should put fuses in both lines going to the battery.  Yes, both positive
and negative.

Fuse holders can be bought at Auto parts stores and/or hamfests.

I did it this way:   ----|
                     |   |-----------|
Battery +   ---------|   |           |----------------

                     |   |-----------|
                     ----|

                                 |----
                     |-----------|   |
Battery -   ---------|           |   |----------------
                     |-----------|   |
                                 |----


Note the reversed fuse holders.  If they are installed this way, the risk of c
onnecting
the polarities is greatly reduced.

   So at least for the moment, this self-appointed ruler has stiffled your
right to freedom of information. He has single handedly tried and convicted me

of broadcasting outside the ham freq without a single shred of proof. And for
the record, I have never broadcasted outside the FCC sanctioned Ham radio
bands.
   At the moment, I wont reply to anyone requesting the mod information. If
your not happy with my decision, let Mr. Lee know about it and duly take the

There's only ONE SO-239 on the xverter for an HF rig.

Dunno, I know of someone who's used it with a pretty good sized antenna

Actually, it runs from 20 meters to 6 meters.  For some, this may seem weird,
but
in actuality, it is NOT weird:

1) 14-18 MHz becomes 50-54 MHz.  While the manufacturer says you shouldn't use

it for transmitting above 52 MHz, you can certainly receive above 52 MHz
with it (can't guarantee FCC compliance when used for xmit > 52 MHz)

2) MANY general coverage rigs can transmit as well as receive from 14-18 MHz.

3) Transverters using a 10m IF use 28 - 30 MHz; this requirese either
two sets of xtals in the transverter OR a radio that works from 28-32 MHz
in order to get the full coverage.

4) There are MANY more 20m QRP rigs than 10m QRP rigs.

The board is nice and clean, holes are plated through.  The manual is
excellently illustrated and very well written.  Mine blew a transistor
because I put it in backwards (had it facing the wrong coil, oops).

I called up the factory and they sent me a new transistor, free of chg.

>5. I assume, by the name Transverter, that this is a receive converter
>   as well.  Is this true?

Yes.  Complete receive/xmit conversion.

>6. What is your overall opinion?

Wonderful kit, beautifully and ruggedly designed.

The unit can be set up to operate on anything between
0.25 and 10 watts input by changing a resistor.

The unit is RF-switched.  This may pose a problem for some folks
because the first syllables may be dropped.  The unit CAN be
wired for hard-keying, which a lot of people recommend strongly.

6m noise is often fairly high, and 6m signals tend to sometimes
wipe out commercial (poorly shielded) electronics.  Take the time to
ground, if possible, and remember that while the unit can listen
to 49 MHz stuff, you should only listen to your OWN cordless phone.

Don't expect to hear much on 6 most of the time.  When there's a
band opening, you'll know it.  CW beacons will be booming in below
50.080, and there will be lots of stuff above 50.125.

PLEASE remember that 50.100-50.125 IS THE DX WINDOW.  Please do not
operate in this band unless you're working DX.

Also remember that 50.125 is a CALLING frequency.  When the band
is open, call there, make a contact, and QSY up the band.

Most of all, have some fun.  You get the IF strip of the HF rig, a
and can work a new band for next-to-nothing.

I used it with a commercially made 3el yagi, and it worked very
well (longest contact was from So. Calif. to So. Carolina!).

Probably depends on how good your homebrew is.

Get one! the 1208, I mean...

3. How does the frequency read out?  I assume I would shoot 10 meters in
   and use some sort of table to convert 10m to 6m, using the 500khz
   scale to keep track of the actual 1khz freq.  Is this how it works?

4. How tricky is the kit to build and get going?  I built converters
   years ago (tube days) and they were quite simple.  Is the TenTec
   along those lines, or is it fussy?

5. I assume, by the name Transverter, that this is a receive converter
   as well.  Is this true?

6. What is your overall opinion?



I hope I haven't asked too much!  I don't have alot to spend on gear and want
to make sure I spend it wisely.  There's nothing better than the internet
for getting opinions (whether you want to or not!!), and I often base
buy decisions on what I hear in these groups.

Hi Ted
I have an AEA, my friend has a Kantronics -- we both love em. Some are
VHF only. Others are all-mode such as the AEA-232MBX that I own. A lower
cost entry is the Baycom modem marketed by Tigertronics Inc -- E-Mail at

If a regular from this group would be willing to test &

Woops...that should be ", and any *bipolar* amplifier that does not draw
base current over the entire RF input cycle is class AB, B, or C or
higher.

Right, and I can make 500,000 a year buying HUD real estate with my credit
card, and shampoo restores life to my hair....

AB1 indicates a tube amplifier NEVER draws grid current, and conducts for
more than half and less than all of the signal cycle. The sub-script 1 is
useless in a bipolar amp, since any bipolar amp that draws base current
over the entire RF input cycle is class A, and any class AB amplifier does
not draw base current over the entire RF input cycle is class AB, B, C or
higher.

Right away that's a red flag telling us they are pulling data from their
"rear sides".

Here's a good test for linearity. First, look at the bias circuit. If the
bias circuit does NOT have a low dynamic impedance, changing base current
will change bias. Good linearity in a high power solid state PA generally
requires an active (regulated) bias source. A 100 ohm resistor feeding a
shunt diode is NOT a good SSB bias system.

Next, drive the amp with a CW signal and watch the ratio of output power
to drive power. If the ratio of drive to output power suddenly changes a
large amount anywhere below any maximum power level you expect to use (say
from zero to 100 watts), the amplifier is non-linear and will splatter.
This isn't the best test, and it will miss some problems, but it's simple.

I can measure it here Doug, and return it. That's part of what I do for a
living. Or you could do the simple gain compression test I outlined above.

Hi all,

Can anyone recommend a brand of 70cm radio from any of the major
ham-radio manufacturers that is really suitable for 9600 baud packet?  I
wonder if there are any PLL sets that are satisfactory?

Thanks & Cheers,

Tony vk2tjf

Hi,
I've noticed a recent spurt of "for sale" postings to
rec.radio.amateur.equipment.   Just a friendly reminder
that this forum is for the general discussion of equipment

The correct forum for buying/selling/swapping is the
rec.radio.swap newsgroup.

not trying to be a netcop here, just a reader with lousy ISP
who cant carry many days worth of messages (the forsale posts
bump out the equipment discussion posts).

thanks.
Joe

I also bought one after reading this thread just to see how it is.  It was
picking up the engine noise that my Grant XL didn't.  Guess it works for
some, and useless for others.

I would like to hear from those Hams using the Heathkit QRP rigs.  How
well do they perform?  What mods are recommended to eliminate
weaknesses?  How well do they compare to the modern QRP kits?  Is the
multi band feature worthwhile or should I consider a single band rig?
Thanks in advance.

I have an HW-8.  For a simple QRP rig it works fine, but don't expect
performance to be anywhere near that of a regular rig.

The HW-7 and HW-8 both have direct-conversion receivers.  I found the
reception of both sidebands to be relatively easy to deal with, but
others complain about this.  Hum is a problem with this type of receiver
when operated off an ac supply.  It's caused by common-mode coupling
through the power supply leads and can be cured by wrapping the power
supply cable around a ferrite toroid.  The HW-9 has a superheterodyne
receiver and will not have these quirks.

I had some TVI on my own TV when I lived in a fringe reception area.
The filtering in the HW-8 is not very good (only 3 elements), though
if you don't live in a fringe reception area it's probably adequate.
The addition of a commercial low-pass filter corrected the TVI problem
for me.

The HW-8 (and probably also the HW-7) have an audio output impedance
of 1000 ohms, not the usual 8 ohms.  I use 600 ohm headphones with mine
and they work fine.  If you use low-Z headphones you'll probably need
to hook up an inexpensive audio transformer.  I think the HW-9 has an
8 ohm output impedance, but I'm not sure.

I have no experience with the modern QRP kits, but from the prices I've
seen, a used Heathkit is definitely easier on the wallet!

I assume that this book will be provided free to all who submit or are
just trying to get us all to:

  1) Do all your work
  2) Still pay for the book

Just curious... I gave up doing research for others without pay when I
got my degree.

Take Care & 73

My guess is ROT13 is short for ROTATE 13. If you imagine the alphabet on a
wheel, you would cipher the text by rotating the wheel 13 spaces

By goom, you're right!  I did it the hard way - I noticed Ken Harker
had capitalized a V in the middle of one of his sentences.  I assumed
this was "I" (what other single letter do we capitalize?) and
translated (rotated) the alphabet accordingly.  Everything fell out
nicely from there.

After deciphering "If you can read this, you really ought to get out
more," I decided the effort greatly outweighed the rewards!

I don't know if they have changed in the last few years but; the one I
had in the back of my truck for four years just self distructed after
Christmas.  I found the inside PWB had charred from an Arch over.
Things were comming lose inside.  The mountng ears on the case cracked
and fell off.

I liked the unit and used it consistantly for four years but I suggest
looking at the ICOM units (AH-2 and AH-3).

I would be reluctant to pay over about $200. for a used one.

I built the 1260 a few weeks ago and had a good experience.  The kit went
together nicely in a few evenings and works quite well.

What is a fair price for a used fixed (non-retractable) tower in the
40-50" range?

I have over 300 feet of 7/8" hardline, one piece, w/o connectors for
trade.  I have no plans for using it at the present time.  The hardline
is about 6 years old, never installed and has been stored indoors.

Am willing to trade it for?????  Would consider HF antennas, HF rig, test
equipment, cash, etc.  I have zero interest in VHF, packet stuff.  Be
creative - this stuff is collecting dust in my cellar.  Would prefer
trade in the New England area but could ship it.

I recently acquired a TS-940. I am interested to setup my computer
to talk to it. Looking through it's instruction manual only gives
me the idea of using ACC1. Further investigation with the schematics
yields the pinout for ACC1.

If I remember correctly, this is a RS-232 port that uses 5V instead
of +/-12V. I can deal with that. But do I need to install anymore
IC in my 940? What about the software commands? Any suggestions?

I'm in the process of building an interface for my TS-690SAT. In the
article I am using, Feb 93 QST. p40, it states "Some other radios,
such as the TS-940S, require an interface board available from
Kenwood"

The artice provides schematics for building the interface, but from
what I read, the TS-940 need a board available only from KenWood.

A while back a friend of mine brought back from Akihabara
in Tokyo a couple Kenwood TH-59 1.2 GHz HTs, and a TH-89
430/1.2 HT.

Him, his wife and I pored over the Japanese manuals and I
wrote up a couple English "manuals" of my own. Just an organized
list of specs and explanations of what does what.

I have posted the manuals:

        http://www.relay.net/~dave/th59.manual
        http://www.relay.net/~dave/th89.manual

They are straight ASCII text files. Corrections are
invited if you spot any errors.

I also have a mod for the TH-89 that expands the RX range to
5 separate bands, including 800-960. This was supplied by Kenwood
Japan. I *don't* have an expanded TX mod for the TH-89 or any mods
at all for the TH-59 - Kenwood Japan said there aren't any. Luckily the
1260-1300 range of those radios is enough for US 1.2 repeater work.
Maybe Kenwood is not pulling my leg, but I don't want to believe
440-450 is locked out of my TH-89 forever... until then I'll keep
hoping :)

If you want the above mod, let me know and I'll type it in and
post it as well.

If you have any other mods for these radios, please do send
a pointer or post them here. Especially expanded TX for the TH-89!

I am looking for some simple answer re. the VX-10 that the dealer's I've
talked with cannot seem to answer:

        1.  Can the VX-10 450 - 485 version can be tuned down into the Ham
             band?
        2.  Can the VX-10 be programmed via the ADMS software?  If not, is the
             software available to individuals?
        3.  Can the VX-10 150 - 163 version also be tuned or programmed into
             the Ham band?

Any info would be GREAT!

Disappointed with your commercial/shareware logging or
packet software for Windows?  Try XMLog, freeware that's
available on the Internet.  XMLog provides a flexible set
of coordinated logging and packet features.

If you're using a Web browser, start at Boston Amateur Radio
Club's home page (http://www.acs.oakland.edu/barc/barc.html)
  - scroll down to the "BARC FTP Archives" section
  - click on "FTP Archive"
  - scroll down to "Software Archives"
  - click on "PC Files"
  - click on "logging"
  - scroll down and click on "xmlog124.zip"

(Even though the directory says DOS, it really is a Windows
program...)

For ftp users, sign on to ftp.barc.org with the userid
of anonymous and a password of guest.  Move to the
/pub/hamradio/dos/logging directory and get xmlog124.zip

XMLog is now also available from ftp.funet.fi in Finland.
Sign on with a userid of anonymous and supply your e-mail
address as the password.  Move to the directory
/pub/ham/hf-log and get xmlog124.zip

Version 1.24 has mostly minor improvements - the big changes
are DXCC/WAS/WAZ award submission tracking and support for
the Radio Amateur Callbook (Flying Horse) CD.

Version 1.23 is still available for those with PC's that
only have 4mb of memory (1.24 requires 8mb).

The archives can be busy at times, don't give up if you
can't sign on right away.  Let me know if you:
  -  want more info
  -  can't fetch the file
  -  want diskettes instead

Have fun...

Actually, the Maldol antenna is a small spring in a flexable rubber condom, so
I would say it should be pretty wear-resistant, and the spring isn't going to
get damaged.  :)  I have used mine quite a bit and I have no tears or what not
in the rubber.. The name has worn off of it, but other than that.  Also, it
being a spring, you can tune it.  I didn't have to trim the antenna, I simply
'screwed' it onto the BNC base a little farther.  It with a tiger tail is a
pretty decent antenna for repeater work.  WAY too effected by the body though,
no good to wear it on your belt, it destroys the pattern and doesn't hear much
at all.

Good antenna..  *great* for ducky-only DFing, you can take the condom off and
it's a pretty good antenna still, just about 20db attenuated!  And a decent
lobe off the tip, I've 'pointed out' a fox before with it.  (With better
success than some ducky methods I've used).

I wonder what the Black Bullet Comet (or is it Diamond?) sells is..  It's
about two BNC connectors tall..  Probably no better than being totally without
an antenna.. :)

I'm waiting for the 9db gain 'Intenna' HTs to come out...  *smirk*

Fine FT-50R owners - Does anyone know how to select a repeater TX offset
frequency less than 50 KHz increments?  I do not own the programming

Has anyone out there been able to get the ADMS-1c software running on a
Mac under SoftWindows, and a Yaesu FT51R or 50R to work correctly? I have
been trying to get it to work consistently and it doesn't. I am able to
pull data from the radio and see what I have programed directly. If I edit
and try to send back to the radio I get an instant error on the screen of
the 51R which locks everything up. I bought two ADMS kits so I have tried
a second Yaesu cable.Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I read the very poor description about th FT-600 HF Transceiver at
yaesu.com.
Does anybody know more about this new transceiver i.e:
- FM narrow capability
- storing repeater shift for 10 m FM
- removable front panel
- size
- weight
- mods
.....
Thanky you for any comment.

Does anyone know how prone to intermod this radio might be ? Also, has
anyone installed the PL decode kit ? I'm wanting to buy one of these
radio to use as a base unit powered off a power supply, but am concerned
because of the wide receive range it might have intermod problems.

I had a 757 that lost Rx and Tx on AM.  I was told that it was
probably the AM filter or something in the AM filter switching.

That's all I know.  The radio was sold without the AM section working.

The manual is of no help. Has anyone replaced the battery and if so
where is it and what is it?

Just like new (listed in current HRO catalogue for $529.95)

Interfaces with many ICOM radios - totally automatic
Very small and lightweight.  Can be placed atop the radio

  Presets 'remember' settings for each band;  tunes in just seconds

  Much more capacity than some built-in tuners, even handles a long wire

  Accepts up to 3 coax outputs to antenna(s)

  Complete with original carton and documentation

  (Up to 150 watts input;  then feed its output to an amp if desired)

Make an offer.  Include cost of shipping.

Raymond, that sounds like a great offer. Wish I had seen it before I
bought my FT8500 last winter. Good luck, you should find a buyer - it's a
very nice rig.
Put a cap across those speaker leads, add a decent external speaker; the
audio will blow you out of the car.

I want to suppress the ignition noise I am receiving on an HF transceiver
installed in my mini-van. I went to install a noise suppression filter on
the ignition coil, and found that there is no coil or distributor on this
van. I am not familular with this type of ignition system, so any help
would be appreciated. I have the following van:

    1996 Chrysler Town& Country LXI
    3.8L V6 engine.

The noise is not bad enough to obscure desired signals, it is just anoying
to constantly hear it. Chryslers advice was to give me a TSB that appeared
to be written by Amateur radio operators. However it did not address
filtering the ignition system.

Thanks for any help:

I've owned probably 40 different handheld scanners in the last five
years and there is no doubt in my mind that none of the above is the
correct answer.

If you can find a pro-43 at a reasonable price grab it.  The later
ones cannot be unblocked  for cellular and I've never owned one of
them so I can't tell you much about them but the earlier ones (don't
ask me dates)  have the best audio, intermod rejection, image
rejection, and ergonomics of anything that I've ever used.  I've
always kept at least one even though I've bought and sold many.

There's a rural television repair shop that has been out of the
repair business for several years, basically concentrating on cable
service, etc.,.  They've got a large stock of old tubes.  I'm planning
on building an amp later in my ham carreer (like when I make it to
General :)) and I thought there might be some tubes at this place that I
could use.  What are some good tubes to look for that are used in radio
work?  In other words, the standard tubes used in amps and whatever.

I noticed some old signal generators and oscilloscopes also, but I
haven't a clue about them either.  I'm primarily interested in the
tubes.

It's all greek to me, but I could pick up some of these tubes at a
reasonable price at the moment and I don't won't to miss the
opportunity.

Thanks a million for your help, I think I have a good deal.....I just
don't know what to look for! :)

        Portable VHF

He has got two questions about this radio:
1) How can he modify his radio to extend the band from 144/146 MHz to
130/170 MHz?
2) Can he receive the "manual for use" of this radio? (A photocopy of
the manual is acceptable too!)

Salve,
Avrei bisogno di conoscere le funzioni dei cinque diodi che abilitano e
disabilitano alcune funzioni dell'IC-706, se questi diodi lavorano
singolarmente o congiuntamente.
Grazie,

Hi,

Use an all-mode (FM, SSB) transceiver.  Most of them are quite suitable,
even when it is not listed as such in the ads.  Of course you will have
to make a modification in the latter case.
Best is to use a transceiver with a fast transmit<->receive switching
time, e.g. the ICOM IC-475.
When that is over your budget, stick with a Tekk.  It performs equally
or better.

My 738 antenna tuner works great!

I may be reading something into your question, but are you measuring
the SWR between the 738 and the antenna, or are you reading the swr
from the 738 internal SWR bridge?  I don't know what a swr reading
between a tunner and antenna might indicate.  I think that you really
want to measure the swr between the tuner and the transmitter, which
you "can't" do with an external swr bridge when using the 738 internal
tuner.

Can't above may be a strong word.  There may be a way of disconnecting
the xmtr to tunner connection within the 738 so that you can add a swr
bridge.

It is true, that the 738 does may not tune a "random wire" antenna.

Hi Tony.

I run a Kenwood 451a on 9.6k 24 hours a day. Some will claim this radio
is inadequate for 9.6k operation, and I have not had it on any test equipment,
but it runs flawlesly with my Kantronics 9612 on both, the 9.6k repeater, and
keyboard-to-keyboard.

The only downside is I have to run a 250ms TXDELAY thru the repeater, as the
PLL (of course) "sweeps" a little when switching from the TX freq, to the RX
freq...and vice versa.

Other than that...I like it very much, and it works well.

Take care.

I would insert...
Because 0) electrical codes require that a generator not feed power back
into the utility for the protection of utility workers

I use a nice product called a GenTran which is advertised in the Honda
generator catalog and is offered at Home Depot among other places.  It
is totally idiot-proof and potentially homeowner installable if you
know what you are doing (if not or if you think you do, but don't,
hire an electrician).  There is no way to fry the utility worker or
the generator with it.

It's not your usual transfer switch (which transfers the entire load
center between generator and utility power).  Instead, it has a series
of double-throw (center off) switches and 15A circuit breaks.  You
choose which of your load ciruits you want to be switchable to
generator, and pull the load wire off the breaker, connect one side of
the gentran switch to the breaker and the other side to the load wire
and then you individually chose which circuit goes on line, off, or on
generator.  This way, you can put the refrigerator and rigs on
generator but leave some room lights on the utility so you can tell
when the utility is back:-)

By switching in one circuit at a time, you can make sure not to
overload the generator (the gentran even has an ammeter on each
leg).  Depending on the season, you might want to switch your heating
or cooling systems in with different switches on the gentran.  You can
also switch 220 loads in the usual handle-tie way.

There are a variety of models available from the manufacturer which
are not all stocked by Home Depot.  Specifically, they make a
weather-proof enclosure which is what I wanted for my partuclar
situation.  H-D only stocked an indoor model last I checked.

Will any of the Touch-Tones open European/Great Britian repeaters?
The low group A, B, C, & D use 1633Hz. plus their low group frequency.
Number 1 uses 697 & 1209 Hz. With any unlinearity they may mix
(697+1209=1906).  For the last trip I made to Europe I obtained German &
Austrian Licenses, but my HT did not have a Tone Burst, hence I could
not open most rereaters.  Could I have used the Touch-Tones?

The QST reviews on HTs do not cover the burst.  Do any HTs Made for the
US market have Tone Burst.

What about the IC 706?

Hugh had a similar problem with my 706.
After a month in the shop they found  the problem!
The  connector from the radio to the front pannel had a weak spring
contact on the ground pin
Pop off the front control head and check the spring contats!

Oh, you've got a huge PLL settling delay.  That *is* a flaw in 9k6
operation.  250mS?  I won't use a radio that requires that much
TXD on 1k2.  The problem is that a radio with that much delay
contributes significantly to hidden transmitter syndrome, *even on
a duplex repeater*.  There's a huge window from the time you
activate PTT until your radio starts spewing a carrier, which
invites other stations to collide with you.

Also, the receiver recovery time means that you'll probably miss
rapid replies, they'll timeout and retry before you get the
frame.  This won't happen if other stations are running similarly
long TXDs, but then you're really throwing away the 9k6 advantage
(a 256 byte frame doesn't take much more than 250mS to send; so
a TXD of 250mS represents a loss of 50% of potential throughput).

>Other than that...I like it very much, and it works well.

Um, save up your cash (under $150 for a clean Mitrek and rocks) and get
a radio that switches in 50mS (or less) and you (and all the others on
the same channel) will be much happier.

Band is related to the band expansion programmed into the radio ...
the euro models show Band 3 on VHF and 5 on UHF. A firend of mine has
modified the values to 7 / 7 and the radio now has full coverage from 76
to 999.999 KHz (no holes).
I'm still tying to change mine values ... but the radio refuses to do
so. More as soon as I will reach a conclusion.

The second parameter seems to have no effects ... boh

The last four relates to trimming values, the FT-51R does not have hw
trimmers. Take note of the original values before changing them!

>>I am thinking of purchasing a handheld scanner

>>I have been told the following units are quite nice:

>>   Uniden BC3000xlt
>>   ICOM R1
>>   AOR 2700


Currently I have PRO-26, AR2700, and AR8000 handheld scanners.  At the
street price of around $200, I'd suggest the AR2700 as a best buy.
While the RF and audio isn't quite up to the '43's, it's not that bad
either.  The two features I prefer over the '43 is the attenuation by
channel (on all three models) and the computer interface to dump and
load the frequencies.  I do find the keyboard operation of the 2700
quite cumbersome for a scanner.  It's virtually impossible to link in
additional banks while drive.

My two cents worth.

You might check yout the FT8000, looks like something analogous to the
FT51 --> FT50 release. Some new features, some deleted, lower cost. I have
not talked to anyone who has the FT8000. But the FT50 was apparently well
received, and I like my FT51, but might have gotten the FT50 if it had
been out at the time.

Hi all, I am looking for a new repeater controller. We have been using
the CAT-300 and CAT 500. We are going to put up a new repeater or two
and need to know if there are any other good controllers out on the
market.. Also we are looking for a cheap CW identifier for one machine
we already have in use.
If you have any info please E-mail me at [e-mail]
Thanks for reading.

              Add a Plectron or Motorola Alert
             Crystal Controlled Monitor Receiver
                 to Your Scanner Collection

                    by Bob Parnass, AJ9S

  [NOTE:  This article may not be reproduced in whole or  in
 part   on   CDROMS,   in   bulletin  boards,  networks,  or
 publications which charge for service without permission of
 the author.]

 In the 1960s and 1970s, thousands of firemen and  ambulance
 squad members came to rely on their transistor Plectron and
 Motorola monitor receivers.  They have now been replaced by
 portable pagers, and are often available at hamfests in the
 $5 - $25 range.  Since many are in rough condition and need
 repair,  a  hamfest  special is better suited for hobbyists
 who like to fix their own radios.

 Plectron and  Motorola  crystal  controlled  receivers  are
 excellent  for dedicated monitoring of local frequencies --
 a task for which you wouldn't  want  to  tie  up  your  400
 channel  programmable  scanner.   They  can be powered from
 117VAC or 12VDC with the proper  mobile  cord.   The  audio
 quality of a Plectron P1, Plectron 700 series, and Motorola
 Alert Monitor is far better than any consumer grade scanner
 and the sensitivity, image rejection, and intermod immunity
 is outstanding when aligned properly.

 The Plectron and Motorola Alert monitors  are  single  band
 receivers:  VHF-low,  VHF-high, or UHF.  No single Plectron
 or Motorola Alert monitor can cover the  entire  30-50  MHz
 band,  so there were versions optimized for each portion of
 the VHF-low band. There were different  versions  to  cover
 low  and high "splits" in the VHF-high band, too.  Although
 UHF versions were made, they are somewhat rare and coverage
 is limited to 470 MHz and below.

 Plectron made  several  models  with  dozens  of  different
 options.   Both  the  original  P1 and later 700 series are
 suitable for restoration, although I prefer the  newer  700
 models.    The   Plectron  500  "economy"  series  is  less
 desirable.

 The P1 series have black cabinets  with  a  blue-green  and
 silver  color  scheme  used  on the front panel.  They were
 made in the Chief (tone decoder & carrier squelch),  Patrol
 (carrier squelch only), and Sentry (tone only) models.  The
 Sentry models lack a carrier squelch and therefore  are  of
 little use to hobbyists except for scavenging parts.  Model
 number and frequency information appears on a gummed  label
 on the rear panel:


            Band (MHz)   Chief   Patrol   Sentry
            ____________________________________
                 25-54   R19     R15      R17
               148-174   R20     R16      R18
               450-470   R23     R21      R22

                TABLE 1.  Plectron P1 models


 The R700 series have black cabinets with brown front panels
 and are slightly smaller than the P1 receivers.  R700s were
 made in the Chief (tone  decoder  &  carrier  squelch)  and
 Patrol (carrier squelch only) models:

                 Band (MHz)   Chief   Patrol
                 ___________________________
                      25-54   R719    R715
                    148-174   R720    R716
                    450-470   R723    R721

               TABLE 2.  Plectron 700 models


 The Plectron FM Receiver/Recorder is  a  collector's  item.
 It  is essentially a 700 series Chief receiver with a built
 in  cassette  tape  recorder.   The  recorder  is   carrier
 activated  and can tape transmissions while the receiver is
 unattended.  A connector on the rear panel allows  for  all
 kinds of remote control possibilities.

 I use two Plectron P1s and four R700s in  my  living  room,
 seven  R700s  down  the basement, and several Plectrons and
 Alert Monitors stored in reserve.  The  basement  Plectrons
 are  turned on automatically when someone walks downstairs.  |
 Power to them is controlled by a modified Radio Shack  Safe
 House  infrared  motion  detector,  originally  sold  as an
 intrusion alarm.

 When a rescue  squad  member  from  Missouri  advertised  a
 number  of Plectrons on USENET, I bought them -- all 20+ of
 them.  I cleaned, fixed,  and  restored  each  one.   After
 recrystalling them on local frequencies, I distributed them
 to members of my scanner club who were glad to get them.

 Both  brands  of  receiver  require  special  crystals.   I
 sometimes  use  Radio  Shack's generic 3rd overtone scanner
 crystals in the Plectrons but they oscillate on frequencies
 far away from their marked frequencies.  That's because the
 Plectron oscillator is designed to be used with  a  crystal
 which   oscillates   on   its  fundamental,  not  overtone,
 frequency.

 AC power cords for  both  types  of  receivers  use  unique
 connectors  and  are scarce.  You can buy them new but it's
 much cheaper to drill a hole on the rear panel and attach a
 permanent a power cord.  Make sure you use a grommet in the
 hole to prevent the metal chassis  from  chafing  the  line
 cord.

 Many Plectrons and Alert Monitors  were  equipped  with  an
 internal  NiCd battery pack, intended to power the receiver
 if the AC power fails.  It's unusual to find a used monitor
 receiver  with  the  NiCd  pack  still capable of holding a
 charge.  More often, the batteries have died and the series
 charging  resistor  has  overheated and burned.  Be sure to
 remove the dead batteries as they often leak.

 If you  find  the  squelch  on  your  Plectron  700  series
 receiver  has  too  much  hysteresis,  replace  R96, a 180K
 resistor, with a 560K resistor.  On the P1, the resistor is
 designated R81.

 I have not used the Plectron tone alerting  features  so  I
 cannot  address  that  except to say that the special coils
 and capacitors for the dual tone decoders vary depending on
 the  tone frequencies and are somewhat difficult to obtain.  |

Gene,

In the ICOM 740 ALL of the Transmit IF signal goes through the Compressor
switch.  So if the compressor switch is faulty so goes the transmiter power.
Since you mentioned it has some output when the compressor is engauged, I thin
k
there is your problem.  The 740 also requires a preamplified mic, you need to
have a HM-7, HM-8 HM-10 SM-5 or SM-8 for proper operation of the radio.  Below
are some other hints to faults and cures on the ICOM 740.

Gary

Most Common Failures and Cures for the Icom IC-740


Symptom:  Distorted RX/TX, or no RX/TX on one or more bands.
Distorted SSB audio sounds raspy and rough.  Problem may be
temperature related.
Probable Causes: 1) Bad trimmer capacitors on PLL unit, HPL
VCO section.
Cure:  Replace plastic trimmer capacitors C4, C15, C24, and
C33 with ceramic equivalents..

Symptom:  Any of the following:  1)  No RX/TX at all.
Display normal.  2) No CW operation. 3)  Some front panel
controls do not operate reliably. 4. Or Just plain weird troubles.
Probable Cause:  Burned or open on R1 on reg. unit.
Cure:  Replace R1  (4.7 ohm, 1/2 watt).

Symptom:  Intermittent no/low TX output.  Jiggling or
pressing the compressor switch causes the power to return to
normal.
Probable Cause:  Bad compressor switch. (This is a common
failure in the IC-740.)
Cure:  Replace (do not clean) the compressor switch.

Symptom:  Low, erratic TX output in all modes.  (Compressor
switch has already been replaced.)  ALC meter reading is
unsteady and may drop out altogether.  Removing the top
cover may cause problem to disappear for a while. Pressing
on the wiring harness near the IF unit may cause the
power/ALC meter reading to fluctuate.  Problem may be
temperature related.
Probable Causes:   1)  Poor solder joints on IF unit.  2)
Dirty RF power/mic gain pot.  3)  Poor connections at IF
unit is causing low TX drive.  This is sometimes caused by
oxidation at the point where the wires is crimped to the
connector pins.  4)  Bad relay on FM unit (if installed).
Cure:  Clean dirty RF power/mic gain pot.  Resolder cracked
and suspicious-looking joints on IF unit.  If these do not
help, remove and resolder the wire crimps in the RF
connector pins in J2, J5,  J12, J9, J19 and J20 on the IF
unit.  Be sure to not add too much solder to the connector
pins or they will need to be replaced.  Be sure all
connectors are fully seated after repair.  Replace RL1 on
the FM unit.
Remarks:   Although resoldering the connector pins is a
delicate and time consuming procedure, it will save you a
great deal of troubleshooting time and frustration.

Symptom:  TX power output is marginal on some bands.
(Compressor switch has already been replaced.) ALC meter
reading is low and steady, not erratic.  Adjusting ALC pot
does not increase power.  Troubleshooting reveals that no
specific stage is malfunctioning
Probable Cause: TX IF needs to be aligned.
Cure: Set unit to 14.100, TX in RTTY mode, and adjust L8,
L10 and L11 on IF unit for peak ALC meter reading.
Remarks:  If the above steps have no effect, troubleshoot
for a defective TX stage, or follow steps for curing erratic
TX.

Symptom:  Power gradually drops off when warm.  ALC meter
indication remains at mid-scale.  Adjusting ALC does not
help.
Probable Cause:  APC misalignment.
Cure:  Realign ALC, Ic METER, and APC as per pages 9-1 and 9-
2 in the service manual.

Symptom: VFO tuning is erratic, sometimes skips when
changing frequencies or bands.  Displayed frequency
sometimes does not increment smoothly when VFO knob is
turned slowly.
Probable Causes:  Dirty rotary encoder.
Cure:  Remove white plastic cover from back of rotary
encoder and spray clean the carbon track with Blue Showers
solvent.  Spin VFO knob vigorously while spraying.
Remarks: When cleaning the rotary encoder, do not let
solvent saturate the display unit or allow it to come into
contact with the plastic display lens.  Stuff a paper towel
between the rotary encoder and display unit to catch spray
run-off.

Symptom: Unit jumps frequency unexpectedly when turning VFO
knob.  Digital display does not track with this jump.  The
frequency jump is consistent and happens in the same place
every time. Actual operating frequency and displayed
frequency do not match in some parts of the bands.
Probable Cause:  PLL is out of alignment.
Cure:  Be sure you don't have a rotary encoder problem,
first.  Try realigning the LDO as per the second "9-1" page
in the service manual.  If this doesn't help, follow the
complete alignment procedures for the PLL on both "9-1"
pages in the service manual with the exception of the PLL
Lock adjustment.
Remarks:  We do not recommend adjusting PLL Lock trimmers
C4, C15, C24 and C33. They do not contribute this particular
problem and disturbing them may cause them to fail.

Symptom:   Frequency instability.
Probable Causes:  Dirty RIT/XIT pot and switches.
Cure:  Clean dirty RIT/XIT  pots and switches with Blue
Showers solvent.

Symptom:  Drastic change in audio frequency response between
USB and LSB., i.e. USB audio has too much bass while LSB
audio has too much treble.  TX frequency response is also
poor.
Probable Causes:  Misadjustment of the BFO, PBT oscillator.
Cure:  Align the BFO and PBT oscillator as per page 9-4 of
the service manual.

Symptom:  Intermittent low FM TX output power.
Probable Cause:  Poor contacts in relay RL1 on FM unit.
Cure: Replace bad RL1 (221B-D009-M)

Symptom:  Distorted/raspy-sounding SSB TX.  Complaints of
RFI.  Unit tests fine on dummy load.  Unit is being used
with an external Astron power supply.
Probable Causes:  1) In adequate station ground.  2)
External Astron power supply needs additional RF decoupling.
Cure: Recheck station ground.  Improve if necessary.
Install additional RF decoupling capacitors on Astron power
supply.

Symptom:  TX oscillations or low, spurious output,
especially on lower bands at lower power levels.  SWR
reading may be high when transmitting into a dummy load.
Probable Causes: 1)  Bad Q10 on RF unit.   2)  Bad
electrolytic capacitors on PA unit.  3)  Band switch has
been mis-aligned.  4)  Burned components on the ANT SW unit.
5)  Bad drivers or PA transistors.
Cure: Disconnect J9 on the RF unit and see if the problem
goes away.  If  it does, then Q10 is most likely bad
(replace it with a 2SC2878B).  If disconnecting J9 has no
effect, examine the PA unit.  Replace C18 and/or C24 on PA
unit if they appear swollen or overheated.  Check the ANT SW
unit for burned components and replace as needed.  Check
alignment of the bandswitch wafers and correct if necessary.
If none of the above are causing the problem, then most
likely the drivers or PA transistors are bad.

Symptom: Erratic display i.e., frequency listed will be out
of the normal operating range of the radio.  Rotating the
VFO knob may cause strange characters to appear in the
display.  Radio does not work properly.  Cycling the power
switch a few times may restore operation temporarily, or
radio may be stuck in the failure mode.
Probable Cause:  1)  CPU is glitched and must be reset.  2)
Loose connector on logic or matrix unit.  3)  Bad diode on
matrix unit.
Cure:  Turn-off memory back-up switch on rear panel of radio
and leave radio unplugged for a few minutes or so to reset
CPU.  (It is recommended that the switch be left to the OFF
position to prevent future failure.) Re-seat all connectors
on logic and matrix unit.  If none of these solve the
problem, there may be a bad diode on the matrix unit.

Symptom: Either of the following: 1) Preamp does not work.
Sensitivity of radio drops when preamp is engaged.  2)  RX
noisy and intermittent.  Preamp intermittent.
Probable Causes:  1)  Bad preamp relay on RF unit.  2)
Burned components in preamp section on RF unit. 3)  Cracked
solder on RF unit in preamp section.
Cure:  Replace bad RL1 (FBR221DO12).  Replace bad/burned
preamp components on RF unit, usually  RL1, Q11, Q12, R58,
C86, etc...   Also check Q10 for failure.  If bad, replace
it with a 2SC2878B.  Carefully examine the preamp section of
the RF unit for bad joints and resolder as needed.

I have owned this particular radio for about five years, and I have had
this problem twice.  What you have to do is reset the cpu, it tells you
how to do this in the manual. after you reset then you will have to
reprogram all your frequencies.  Let me know if this helps. 73 KB9DVM

I was just making an observation. My point was if the amplifier was
illegally marketed, the company obviously does not care about important
laws. If they don't care about important laws, they probably don't care
about less important laws. It's kind of like asking a drug dealer the
percentage of Heroin in his product, or buying a Rolex watch at a bus
station.

Anyway, I was wondering if the amp was a CB amp, I never heard of one
before. If it was (and it seems like it is) a CB amp, most of the info
supplied with it is probably just made up. It probably has less than
proper design for use on Ham bands.

>>>IMD: -33dB

>Actually, it is based upon single tone output @ 14.2 MHz.

A single tone can not be used to measure IMD. The test must have at least
two equal "tones", and they should tell if the measurement method is
against PEP or one tone of the two tones.

Preamp?

I was at the racetrack yesterday, thanks for asking.

I've never seen an HF Ham **amplifer** with a pre-amp for RX, that made me
wonder if it was really a Ham amp....that's all.

If it doesn't use PIN diodes, it will have severe distortion in the diode
attenuator. Inductors don't make good attenuators either. They are
non-linear with frequency, and add more reactance than loss.

>No Tom, Mike was asking for info about a RF amp for HF
>
>>or high low power?

>BINGO!

I wondered what type of amp it was, and what it was really designed for. I
guess it's a CB amp. I've never seen a Ham amp with high and low power
input ports.

The Pro-39 is another excellent scanner that can be unblocked for cell.
The mod is more difficult on the Pro-39 than on Bearcats, but the sound
quality is much better.

I recently replaced the front cover of an Alinco 580t. After reassembly I
noticed that the unit ( particulary the top ) heated up. I rechecked all
connections and made sure that everything was tight. Performance seems
unaffected. Does anyone have any idea why the HT heats up after 15 seconds
of "key". Is there something I'm overlooking?

Here is a very basic question I should know the answer to, but obviously
don't:  if I place coaxial braid over automobile ignition plug wires in
order to reduce the radiation of broadband RF interference, will it be
necessary to bond those shields to the engine ground?  Or will the
shields be able to provide adequate shielding by simply "floating" on the
outside of the plug wires?

My first intuition is to say the shields need to be grounded, but then I
am reminded of the lead box in space that shields its contents just as
well as it would if connected to an earth ground.

Apples and oranges?  Any insight would be appreciated.

I am going to upgrade to general and am looking to purchase a new HF
radio for under $1000, and problably hook it up with a dipole type
antenna.  I was looking at the Yaesu FT-600 in QST, does anyone have
experience using this radio?? Thanks for your help...

The IC-738 already does have a built in SWR meter, it is accurate ICOM uses it
for the automatic power control feedback voltage.

The tuner is made for unbalance feedlines feeding antennas that have a maximum
impedance range of 16.7 to 150 ohms.  generally this covers most dipoles,
traps, tri banders, and verticles.

yup, there is a wire on the left side of the radio as you are looking
at it that enables the warc bands. As I no longer have my 730 I can't
give you the SPECIFICS on it, but I kknow that the info is in the ICOM
730 owners manual. 73 -de Aaron

Anybody know anything about a new, palm-sized, dual band VHF/UHF
commercial (TYPE-ACCEPTED) HT soon to be out from Yaesu under the Vertex
name? Could be very attractive to those of us (like me) doing both Amateur
and Public Safety stuff.

I disagree. I just dont agree with your teminology I guess. I would say
that ny setup works flawlessly with its given settings. Now those SETTING
may be "unaceptable" to you (and others), but I was simply answering the
persons question...which is YES...there ARE PLL radio that will work at
9.6k.

BTW, that was the setting for duplex operation. I can run 100ms in simplex.

>Most folks?  Most folks I know are using less than 70mS.  Maybe most
>folks you know are using flawed radios, too.

No...I know of no one on packet that is useing a flawed radio.

>50mS TXD for 9600 baud

That may be true, but the average TXD in my neck of the woods is much higher.

By monitoring the frequency of course.

Did I say you did?   :)

And I answered the guys question which was "...if there are any PLL sets
that are satisfactory?" The answer was yes...and I also added some information
and settings so he could get the whole picture, as not to cloud the issue.

Take care Dana, and thanks for the feedback.

Well...I certainly wouldnt pass judgement on others what to buy, but lets not

With the deviation set correctly (3.0), it does not sweep outside the 5khz
limit, but I agree that "long" TXDs affect channel effeciency.

I run the same TXD as most users on the freq.

It works well in the regard of solid connects, and no retries with other
stations, and when on the 9.6k repeater, results are the same.

Take care Rob.

Anyone know what the tranmsit and receive range becomes when the Kenwood
TM-231 is modified by cutting the Green wire loop and installing the
proper diode?

Try buying some "resistor wire" or Nichrome wire, with a known
ohms/ft. rating in an appropriate diameter for your power
requirements, and then "roll your own" on a resistor for a body.

The wire is more readily available at scientific supply houses than
electronics distributors nowdays.

        That's strange, I've not noticed much intermod on mine, & I live in a
VERY rf rich area. Pager towers have always plagued ALL my 2meter radios, so I

went out & got a 2m intermod filter (around 50-60 dollars) that specifically
filters out the 152-154 MHz pager freqs & have had NO intermod on ANY of my
radios when used with it! Before, I had intermod EVERY night on ALL my 2m
equipment. But my kenwood 733A was no worse , & maybe a little better, than my

old alincio dr112 2m rig. David.

Hello! I've got some awesome news that I think you need to take two
minutes to read if you have ever thought "How could I make some
serious cash in a hurry???" , or been in serious debt,  ready to do
almost anything to get the money needed to pay off those bill
collectors. So grab a snack, a warm cup of coffee, or a glass of your
favorite beverage, get comfortable and listen to this interesting,
exciting find!
   Let me start by saying that I FINALLY FOUND IT! That's right!. I
found it! And I HATE GET RICH QUICK SCHEMES!! I hate those schemes
like multi-level marketing, mail-order schemes, envelope stuffing
scams, 900 number scams... the list goes on forever. I have tried
every darn get rich quick scheme out there over the past 12 years. I
somehow got on mailing lists for people looking to make money (more
like 'desperate stupid people who will try anything for money!').
Well,  when I was a teenager,  these claims to 'get me rich quick'
sounded irresistible! I would shell out $14.95 here, $29.95 there,
$24.95 here, and another $49.95 there.  I had maxed out my new Circuit
City Card AND my Visa...I was desperate for money!!  So, I gave them
all a chance but failed at every one of them! Maybe they worked for
some people, but not for me.  Eventually, I just tossed that JUNK MAIL
in the trash when I got the mail.  I recognized it right away.  I can
smell a money scam from a mile away these days,  SO I THOUGHT....
I thought I could sniff out a scam easily.  WAS I WRONG!!  ....I LOVE
THE INTERNET!!!

   I was scanning thru a NEWSGROUP and saw an article stating to
GET CASH FAST!!  I thought..."Here on the Internet??  Well, I'll just
have to see what schemes could possibly be on the internet." The
article described a way to MAIL A ONE DOLLAR BILL TO ONLY FIVE PEOPLE
AND MAKE $50, 0000 IN CASH WITHIN 4 WEEKS!  Well, the more I thought
about it, the more I became very curious. Why? Because of the way it
worked AND BECAUSE IT WOULD ONLY COST ME FIVE DOLLARS (AND FIVE
STAMPS), THAT'S ALL I EVER PAY....EVER!!

   Ok, so the $50,000 in cash was maybe an tough amount to reach, but
it was possible.  I knew that I could at least get a return of $1,000
or so.  So I did it!! As per the instructions in the article, I mailed
out ('snail mail'for you e-mail fanatics) a single dollar bill to each
of the five people on the list that was contained in the article.  I
included a small note, with the dollar, that stated "Please Add Me To
Your List."  I then removed the first position name of the five names
listed and moved everyone up one position, and I put my name in
position five of the list.  This is how the money starts rolling in!
I then took this revised article now with my name on the list and
REPOSTED IT ON AS MANY NEWSGROUPS AND LOCAL BULLETIN BOARD
MESSAGE AREAS THAT I KNEW.  I then waited to watch the money come
in...prepared to maybe receive about $1000 to $1500 in cash or so....
But what a welcome surprise when those envelopes kept coming in!!!  I
knew what they were as soon as I saw the return addresses from people
all over the world-Most from the U.S., but some from Canada, even some
from Australia!  I tell you, THAT WAS EXCITING!!  So how much did I
get in total return?  $1000? $5000? Not even!!! I received a total of
$23,343!!!  I couldn't believe it!!

   I now have a brand new black Acura Integra to speak for, due to
this!! Now after almost 8 months, I am ready to do it again!!! So
maybe it was possible to get $50,000 in cash, I don't know, but  IT
COMPLETELY DEPENDS ON YOU, THE INDIVIDUAL!  You must follow through
and repost this article everywhere you can think of!  The more
postings you achieve will determine how much cash will arrive in your
very own mailbox!!  It's just too easy to pass up!!!

   Let's review the reasons why you should do this:  The only cost
factors are for the five stamps, the 5 envelopes and the 5 one dollar
bills that you send out to the listed names by snail mail (US Postal
Service Mail).  Then just simply repost the article (WITH YOUR NAME
ADDED) to all the newsgroups and local BBS's you can.  Then sit back
and, (ironically), enjoy walking (you can run if you like! :o  ) down
your driveway to your mailbox and scoop up your rewards!!  We all have
five dollars to put into such an easy effortless investment with
SPECTACULAR REALISTIC RETURNS OF $15,000 to $25,000 in about 3-5
weeks!  So HOLD OFF ON THOSE LOTTERY NUMBERS FOR TODAY,EAT AT HOME
TONIGHT INSTEAD OF TAKEOUT FROM McDONALDS AND INVEST FIVE  DOLLARS IN
THIS AMAZING MONEY MAKING SYSTEM NOW!!! YOU CAN'T LOSE!!

   So how do you do it exactly, you ask?  I have carefully provided
the mostdetailed, yet straightforward instructions on how to easily
get this underway and get your cash on its way. SO, ARE YOU READY TO
MAKE SOME CASH!!!?? HERE WE GO!!!

*** THE LIST OF NAMES IS AT THE END OF THIS ARTICLE. ***

OK,  Read this carefully.  Get a printout of this information, if you
like, so you can easily refer to it as often as needed.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1.  Take a sheet of paper and write on it the following:
"Please add my name to your list".  This creates a service out of this
money making system and thus making it completely legal. You are not
just randomly sending a dollar to someone, you are paying one dollar
for a legitimate service.  Make sure  you include your name and
address.  I assure you that,  again,  this is completely legal!  For a
neat little twist, also write what slot their name was in: "You were
in slot 3",  Just to add a little fun!  This is all about having fun
and making money at the same time!

2.  Now fold this sheet of paper around a dollar bill ,(no checks or
money orders), and put them into an envelope and send it on its way to
the five people listed.  The folding of the paper around the bill will
insure its arrival to its recipient. THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT!!

3.  Now listen carefully, here's where you get YOUR MONEY COMING TO
YOUR MAILBOX.   Look at the list of five people;  remove the first
name from position one and move everyone on the list up slot one on
the list.  Position 2 name will now move to the position 1 slot ,
position 3 will now become position 2, 4 will be be 3, 5 wil be 4.
Now put your name, address, zipcode AND COUNTRY in position 5, the
bottom position on the list.

4.  Now upload this updated file to as many newsgroups and local
bulletin boards' message areas & file section as possible.
(Preferrably
about 200, if you have the time) The more you post it the more
chances you have of someone responding to it.  Give a
catchy description of the file so it gets noticed!!  Such as:
"NEED FAST CASH?, HERE IT IS!" or "NEED CASH TO PAY OFF
YOUR DEBTS??",  etc.  And the more uploads, the more money you will
make, and of course, the more money the others on the list will make
too.  LET'S ALL TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER BY BEING HONEST AND BY PUTTING
FORTH 120 PERCENT INTO THIS PROFITABLE & AMAZING SYSTEM!!! You'll reap
the benefits, believe me!!! Set a goal for the number of total uploads
you'll post, such as 15-20 postings or more!  Always have a goal in
mind!!! If you can UUE encode the file when uploading,  that will make
it easier for the people to receive it and have it downloaded to their
hard drive.  That way they get a copy of the article right on their
computer without hassles of viewing and then saving the article from
the File menu. Don't alter the file type, leave it as an MS-DOS Text
file. The best test is to be able to view this file using Microsoft's
Notepad for Windows 3.x or WordPad for Windows '95. If the margins
look right without making the screen slide left or right when at the
ends of the sentences, you're in business!

5.  If you need help uploading, simply ask the sysop of the BBS, or
"POST" a message on a newsgroup asking how to post a file, tell them
who your Internet provider is and PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS BE GLAD TO HELP.
I would try to describe how to do it but there are simply too many
internet software packages with slightly different yet relatively
simple ways to post or upload a file.  Just ask for help or look in
the help section for 'posting'. I do know that for GNN, you simply
select 'POST' then enter a catchy description under the subject box,
choose 'ATTACH', selecting 'UUE' and NOT 'TXT', then choose 'Browse'
to go look for the file. Find your text file CASH.TXT and click on it
and choose 'OK'.  Place a one line statement in the main body section
of the message post screen. Something like "Download this to read how
to get cash arriving in your mailbox with no paybacks!" or whatever.
Just make sure it represents its true feasibility, NOT something
like..."Get one million dollars flooding in your mailbox in two days!"

You'll never get ANY responses!

6.  And this is the step I like.  JUST SIT BACK AND ENJOY LIFE BECAUSE
CASH IS ON ITS THE WAY!!  Expect to see a little money start to
trickle in around 2 weeks, but AT ABOUT WEEKS 3 & 4, THE MONEY STORM
WILL HIT YOUR MAILBOX!! All you have to do is take it out of the
mailbox and try not to scream too loud (outside anyway) when you
realize YOU HIT THE BIG TIME AT LAST!!

7.  So go PAY OFF YOUR BILLS AND DEBTS and then get that something
special you always wanted or buy that special person in your life (or
the one you want in your life)  a gift they'll never forget.  ENJOY
LIFE!

8.  Now when you get low on this money supply,  simply re-activate
this file again; Reposting it in the old places where you originally
posted and possibly some new places you now know of. Don't ever lose
this file, always keep a copy at your reach for when you ever need
cash.  THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE TOOL THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS RE-USE TIME AND
TIME AGAIN WHEN CASH IS NEEDED!

9.  (This step added by Charles Reiley).  Hello, This is exciting,
isn't it?! While I'm on the list, just add a note saying "Please
include extra money tips" with your name & E-MAIL address, and I will
(FOR FREE) send you some neat methods to increase the money you will
receive with this plan. Why?... Why not? I'm not a selfish jerk...I
like helping out others. E-mail just makes it a touch easier and
cheaper, too!  After I drop off the list, I can no longer offer you
this advice, obviously, but maybe someone else who gets my tips will
offer and simply replace my name on this step number 9. Good luck and
give this plan your all, it will definitely pay off! Like Mike said,
HAVE FUN WITH IT!!!

Kenwood TS-440 with antenna tuner and PS-30 power supply. The 440 is in fair
condition and will operate but most likely needs to go to Kenwood to be
reconditioned.Some of the buttons are stiff and recieve will drift some. The
case on the power supply has some dents but works fine. I
do not have a manual for this rig.
$550.00

and works throughout the 800 band.I have box and manuals for this rig.
$200.00

Alinco 110 2 meter rig. I lost push on tuning knob for this rig (the metal
knob  can still be turned). Most likely the knob can be found at Radio Shack
for a couple of bucks.

Any recommendation would be suspect without the advisor knowing more
about your setup.

1. Does your receiver have a 50 ohm or Hi-Z input?
2. What type of antenna and feedline are you using?
3. Are you adept at building electronics equipment?
4. How much are you willing to spend for a tuner?

Gee, Chris, all this time I thought this was AMATEUR radio.  Sure glad we got
these PRO's to help us out.  I guess I better not tell them I am using a ten
year old radio on 9600 baud packet, I might get reamed too.

Well, Jim, I guess you don't read my posts for the same reason you
don't read Gary Coffman's posts - you might accidently learn something.
However, this doesn't stop you from Drewing, oops, I mean spewing out
comments anyway ;-).

If you'd read my posts, you would have noted that I was explaining
that Greenhalgh's _modern PLL radio_ is not suitable for 9600
baud.  Furthermore, if you'd thought about what I wrote, you'd
discover that many older crystal-controlled radios are suitable
for 9600 baud packet.  In fact, some of the best and most popular
radios at 9600 baud are Motorola Mitreks, most of which are older
than ten years.  Also excellent are Maxars, Maxar 80s and Flexars
(the Flexar I'm currently using for 9600 baud here is from 1980!).

What you apparently did was skip over all the technical content and
home in on Greenhalgh's strawman "not everyone can have the best
radios money can buy" whining.  I never said he needed the best
radio money can buy - I simply pointed out that his PLL radio
in unsuitable for a number of technical reasons.

As far as I know the Eico was a vacuum tube unit. I know that Heath made
a dip meter using a tunnel diode many years ago. As I recall it was not
very stable and never gained popularity.

I built an Eico kit in the early 60's. Several years ago I bought a new
Millen #90652 SS dip meter. It surpasses the Eico in frequency stability,
accuracy, smoothness of dip and overall quality. I don't know if the
Millen is still being manufactured. Last known address was Malden, MA
02148.

Hello,

Have anyone information about programming the Kenwood TH-79E with your
computer ? .  I can't find any information how do do this.

I know it is possible because there is a programma called "EZCLONE"
whichs can programs your portable rig.

1) What kind of hardware is required ?
2) Where can I found information how to programs my portable rig. I
couldn't found anything in the manual or the Website of Kenwood.
