I don't recomend it though. The LO tends to have a spectrum like
a comb. The Down East Microwave units are much better.

O there is indeed another inexpensive 6 mtr. rig...

The MFJ 9060 is out and they had such a run on the first production run,
they are now scrambling to get the second batch out the door...

Looks like the 9020 small...ten watts out comes with a microphone and the
CW adapter is extra...but for $250 you can get a rig with analog tuning a
S-meter and volume contraol on the front...a mic ALC on the back that
adjust the output power with a hot receiver and reports of great audio all
the time..

I know, I own one and have had several friends get them and we are having
a ball on 6 SSB...

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!
72/73,

The Kenwood part number is: W09-0599-05.
Does anyone know the generic battery equivalent?

The club I belong to is considering replacing the ACC controllers we have with

new ones. It appears this will be very expensive and we don't want to make a
mistake. We are leaning towards the LinkComm (sp?). I would really like to get

any comments you may have either pro or con on this controller or any other
(SComm). One of our repeater sites needs a robust and feature rich controller
as we have a 2m repeater linked to 2m, 6m, and 10m remote base systems, as
well as an auto-patch. We would like to continue to offer reverse auto-patch,
DVR, and voice mail as well. Thanks for your comments.

obliging) here's what I do:

A local automotive supply chain here in Toronto (Canadian Tire)
carries a large selection of car touch up spray paint. They carry OEM
paints for most automakers' original colours.
The colour that I needed was a sort of grey with a hint of olive.
Of the 2 times that I decided to repaint a radio case I had little
trouble coming up with a near match.

I spend a little extra time preparing the case before painting by
sanding out any scratches and very carefully hammering out any
dents. After painting, I oven bake the covers in the kitchen.
Of course, ventilate the kitchen during the bake and air it out
afterwards.

Cheers,
Hugh Duff  VA3TO  Toronto

I know nothing about color printers.

My wife and son are bugging me to get
a color printer to replace our aging
Panasonic KXP-1124.

This is an opportunity for me to get
something capable of printing my SSTV
etc pictures.

What is a good color printer?  What
does one look for in a color printer?
How expensive is actual printing?

I am interested in any comments about
color printers for Win95...

Thanks, Brian

---------------------------------------------
May I recommend the Hewlett-Packard HP600C?  It is inexpensive ($194.00 at
CompUSA) and does breathtakingly beautiful printing.  Check it out at your
local dealer's - there is a demo print of a parrot that will surely impress
you.  Can't tell you how expensive it is to use though, since I haven't used
up the original print cartridge yet.  For that price it's not fast, but fast
enough for home use.  I use it with Win95 and it installed and performed
without a hitch.  A week or so after I bought it I was in a Radio Shack and
saw they were having a "special" on some old, clunky, dot-matrix monochrome
thing for $250 or so.  Sheesh!

Coincidentally, it also replaced a Panasonic KXP-1124.

Brian:

I'm very happy with my $399 HP deskjet 855C / Windows 95 combination.  Prints
about 6 pages per minute black/white (no graphics) and 2 - 4 color pages per
minute.   You can't go wrong with any of the HP deskjet color printers.

Good luck with your purchase.

I converted my SB-200 for 6m, not knowing that the 572B tubes would
require 50-75 watts of drive to produce about 600-700 watts of output
on 6m, and only having  10 watts of drive from my Icom 560, so now I
need to reconvert it back to 80-10m HF.......I call Heath Co for the
parts (40m) input coil that had to be changed for 6m....NO PARTS !
Can someone tell me how meny turns and what size wire is on the 40m
input coil to the AMP. I thank I can sale the amp faster as a HF AMP
for $300.00 then I can for a 6m AMP only.

Go to the Kenwood ftp site (ftp.kenwood.net) and get into the directory
/pub/Amateur/ASB_.txt_format and then get yourself copies of asb0973.txt
and asb0974.txt. These are the text versions of the files that address
this problem.

Specifically, asb0973.txt has the info for the problem described above. I
did not replace any parts but I did remove every one of them from the
board (a few at a time) and cleaned each part with trichloroethane and
also cleaned the board. I didn't put anything over the parts as suggested
in the bulletin, as I didn't plan on mobile operation (they reccomend hot
glue to improve stability in a rig used for mobile service.)

I also adjusted the VCO per the directions. I haven't had any problem since.

Wow [e-mail]

Thats a great price. I have one though and could never explain another.
Has it got the extra memories? Has it been opened up to receive all it's
extended frequencies?

Could you use ram, or a 386/33 for trade?

works fine for me...

Hi,

If you know how to make the Yaesu Ft-5200 operational on packet
at 9600bps (Where do I connect the tx/rx wires) could you please
send it to me?

Thank you.

I have a 3000 watt generator. It will not start ALL my refrigerators, well
pump, or other things with large starting currents.

It runs light bulbs and TV sets just fine.

From what I remember in motor class. A motor will take 3 to 5 times its'
running current to start. Three or four revolutions of shaft. The
generator/alternator needs to be able to produce that current (surge).
That is one of the ratings of most generator/alternators- surge or
intermittent max current.

My Kenwood TH26AT gave up the ghost, so it is time to look for a new
unit, this time a dual band unit.  I'm looking for something that is as
versatile as possible, so that I can use it for mobile, with packet,
APRS, etc.  I am considering the FT-50R, as it looks to be about the
most versatile, and it seems to have a reasonably good reputation,
although I have never owned a Yaesu radio.

Any opinions on any radios, good, bad, or indifferent???

I like the heck out of my FT-51, but I wish it had a simpler DC power
input jack. Otherwise, it is a very good performer, and on various field
exercises, seems to outdo the Kenwoods and Alincos most of my club's
members are using. OTOH, I don't see that the dual rcvr and X-band repeat
features are much of a big deal, and it costs like $100 more than the
FT-50.

FT-51 has a very nice programmable display, which can be used to put
alphanumeric codes for the programmed channels. That is a major reason it
(and the FT-8500 mobile I bought) was my choice. People always comment on
that feature when they see it. I have the name of the sponsoring radio
club or the city for each freq stored, and it saves many lookups or
embarrassing calls on wrong machine.

I believe the Yaesu HT's are well made, but have not owned other models.

I scanned through my MFJ catalog yesterday and found that they have
a Dip Meter available for around $110. Good luck.

         have 2 heads.... just in case. But I am told that the tube is
readily available at vacuum tube suppliers and hamfests. I am going to
start looking as I had the same thought in the back of my mind!

signal and get LOW SWR's.  However, I wouldn't go out and spend the money
until you find out if the SWR meter you currently are using is screwed up
with a short of something.

I've owned my 78A for some years now.  Dropped in the extra mem and did the
mod.

But now the tuning knob is stuck!

It will turn to the right, but will not turn to the left (down, sequentially).

Kenwood factory guy said I need a new encoder...$18.  They'll fix it for about

$50 labor on top of that.

I'm hoping to do this on my own, however.  Can anyone advise me on this repair

job?  I'm not even sure where the encoder is.  Is it a relatively easy job, or

should I pay the $70?

You may e-mail me.  Thanks in advance!

MFJ-956 is $39.99.  One year unconditional money back warranty.  Comes
with a schematic.  By the time you add up the cost of the box, the

the 2 ea. SO-239 connectors, you may decide to keep it.

No problem with switchers per se, but pirateing a computer supply is
not without its problems.

All switchers require a minimum load.  In many computer supplies its
the fan.  Some assume some minimum load on the mother board.  They go
out of regulation or stop oscillating and smoke with less than the
minimum current draw.

My ICOM IC740 has the optional built-in 13.8 volt supply and it works
fine but it was designed for communications.

There is a big difference between 12 volts and 13.8 volts.  In the
case of my Radio Shack HTX-202 2 meter handy-talky it's 6 Watts at
13.8 and 5 W at 12.0.  That's a 20% drop in power.  Most mobile
equipment assumes a vehicle with a running alternator which is where
the 13.8 value comes from.

Jean-Pierre,

Although I realize that your intentions are good, the end result is that you a
re using non type accepted radio
for commercial use. That is illegal according to Industry Canada.

I would highly recommend that you seek out and purchase a second-hand HT which
 would probably do the job for
you much better than a de-sensed Amatuer HT. You can find a broad list of avai
lable equipment on the newsgroup
rec.radio.swap.

I beleive that from a purely finacial standpoint, you may want to consider thi
s because trying to put a DPL
board into that radio with a switch my cause you more grief than it's worth.

You understand however, that this is just my opinion!

Best Regards Jean-Pierre!

That depends on how much you want to spend, whether you'll accept
used equipment or must have new, how you're going to use the radio,
etc. If money is no object, then buy the top of the line Yaesu or
Icom or TenTec. (Some would also include Kenwood, but service problems
with that brand lead me to suggest you avoid it for now.)

If money is a concern but you still want new equipment, drop down
to the lower priced Yaesu equipment. If you need an itty bitty
radio (say you want to operate mobile), then look at the IC706 and
Alinco DX70T. Realize there are some performance compromises inherent
in going that small.

If you're willing to buy used equipment, you'll have a number of
other options. There is some really nice tube type equipment still
around on the used market, but most of it is really long in the
tooth and repair parts are getting harder to find. A set of Drake
Twins or a Collins rig might serve you well, but you probably should
consider them restoration projects. Hybrids like the TS-520, TS-830,
and the myriad versions of the FT-101 are another option. Again, think
about getting repair parts and consumables (like tubes) before you buy.
As with early all solid state radios, receiver performance in these
hybrids isn't up to today's standards.

All solid state rigs fall into two camps. The early ones often had
worse performance than tube rigs, especially in regard to poor strong
signal handling on receive. The newer ones are often clearly superior.
There are so many models in this class that it is hard to make clear
recomendations. However, one radio does stand out as clearly the class
of the class. That's the IC-735. Very rarely, all the factors which make
a radio great come together in just the right mix. That describes the
IC-735. While perhaps not the best radio in any one particular feature,
the combination is more than the sum of the parts. This radio had the
longest production run of any amateur radio in history, and it remained
basically unchanged throughout all that time. They got it right the first
time.

Some other Icom models aren't as desirable, for example the IC-745
had horrible overload problems, and some Icom radios had their
personalities coded in battery backed RAM. As the lithium batteries
die, the radio stops working and requires a trip back to Icom for
reprogramming. You don't really want one of these, otherwise desirable
as they may be. (There is a third party fix for some of these radios
which replaces the battery backed RAM with a ROM. If the radio you
are considering has had this done, it is more desirable.)

Kenwood quality has been so spotty in recent years that one can't
say too much in general about them. Some work well, some hardly
work at all, and Kenwood service has a very bad reputation. Yaesu
radios have improved dramatically in recent years, but earlier
ones have a spotty record. Some are OK, some are real stinkers.
A lot of Yaesu radios have been converted for outlaw CB use,
and these could really be butchered, beware.

TenTec has by far the best reputation for factory service and
support. The only problem with that is that you may need it.
The radios are often plagued with intermittant connection problems.
These can be infuriating to find, but are generally easy to fix.
To me, early TenTec radios look and feel cheesy, but they can
work very well.

Remember that when buying used a lot depends on the particular
history of the particular radio. General brand and model
recomendations are only that, a general guide. Examine any
particular radio you are considering purchasing very carefully
before throwing down the green and carting it home. Cosmetics
aren't a reliable guide. A very pretty radio can work really
poorly, and a scruffy radio may work fine. If possible, try
before you buy.

I think it may be related to the fact that the "S" meter (if you want
to call it that) found on the older Kenwood FM 2-meter radios were not
calibrated in "S" units, but strictly a linear 0-10 scale.

I believe that the FM mode does not lend itself to the same
traditional method of measurement as does AM/SSB/CW for signal
strength.  It is relative, not an absolute value.

If you have web access, point your browser to:

www.sarrio.com

I ordered a TR-7400A Service Manual from them (Raymond Sarrio
Company), as well as a number of other manuals (also older 2 meter
radios) and received good clean copies of the original manual, all
schematic pages are copied TWICE (very nice touch) and received them
PROMPTLY!

I can highly recommend their manual service, and they have quite a
large list of manuals for older amateur gear.  You can order it toll
free and also on the web.

Hi Tony,

Apart from the rather great price differential between the TS-870 and the
TS-870SDX, the choice depends largely as to which of these rigs' features are
of
greatest importance to you.

There have been some complaints (but largely based upon supposed or imagined
theoretical grounds) that the analog IF section of the TS-870 is an open
invitation to overloading from close-in multi-dB over S9 signals.  I have not
found this to be the case, however.  For ordinary amateur operation, Kenwood's

analog/digital IF section of the TS-870 is a very welcomed advance --- and
certainly points the way towards newer designs down the road.  If received aud
io
quality is important to you, the TS-870 is probably unbeatable by any other ri
g
currently available.

One must be extremely careful in making genralizations of a rig based only on
personal experience... but it is my impression that the transmit IMD of the 87
0
leaves much to be desired.  I feel that the SSB quality is quite compromised
whenever more than the slightest amount of ALC is being generated.
Consequently, I always keep the ALC just at the threshold.  If you intend to u
se
either the SM-220 or SM-230 panoramic displays, you'll find that the display i
s
"blind" to any signal 10 kHz above the dial frequency (this is not true for th
e
SDX).  The power output is limited to 100 watts; but at this power level IMD i
s
quite poor.  IMD improves considerably by just limiting the power to 90 watts
or
less.  But the TS-870 is a frustratingly very exciting rig to play with --- an
d
is probably worth what they are asking for it.

The TS-950SDX, however, exudes quality.  It's main drawback is that a number o
f
the rigs have developed soldering problems associated with CP-1/4 in the DDS
circuitry.  But once corrected (if required), you have a truly outstanding rig
.
The transmit IMD is commendably low (and varies only slightly with different
power settings).  It has dual receive which works quite well.  The built-in
monitor provides a very accurate indication of your transmitted signal (unlike

the very frequency-response-limited monitor of the TS-950SD).  The rig can
easily produce 150 watts from the output FETs.  It is my impression that
production of the TS-950SDX ceased some time ago (does anyone have info to the

contrary?)... but this shouldn't be a consideration unless you are insistent
upon waiting for the very latest.

My experience with the SDX far excedes that with the 870.

If you have any specific points you would like to ask, please feel free to sen
d
an e-mail.  Since I am personally "obsessed" with signal quality, my vote stil
l
goes for the SDX.  But, with the limitations I've alluded to for the 870 --- i
t
is truly a very exciting rig for the money.  I've no personal experience with
the FT-1000MP, but I suspect that it should also be considered in this price
range.

Oh... one last point that I nearly forgot.  The audio-level DSP (that is, the
DSP that tackles received heterodynes and noises) is not to be found on the SD
X.
I suspect, however, that if this is important to you, one of the many
commercially-available outboard DSP units would provide better performance tha
n
what you will find on the 870.  There has been more than considerable confusio
n
amongst amateurs as to just exactly what did Kenwood mean when they first
introduced DSP:  The DSP of the 950SD and the 950SDX did not address received
heterodyne/noise issues; it was strictly a means of combining phase/digital
technologies for the generation and demodulation (only in the SDX) of the
transmitted signal (primarily, SSB) --- the unwanted sideband with this
technology is removed through mathematical procedures rather than through the
"guillotine" approach of the conventional analog filter.  In this regard, the
870 is very much like the 950SDX.

Regards,
Keith (KS9C)

I can't help with a manual, but these things all use pretty much the
same circuit. Look in an old Handbook.

The color codes should match the frequency scales on the instrument.
If they don't, they go up in frequency as the number of turns on
the coil decrease, so you should be able to figure it out.

>inductances and antenna resonant frequencys. Not sure of how to proceed.

A book could be written on the uses of the GDO. Here's a way to use
one to measure coil inductance. First find a known value capacitor,
mica preferred, which should, by eyeball guess, resonate the coil
at a convienent frequency. Hook the capacitor in parallel with the
coil. Select the proper GDO coil for this frequency range. Now
approach the coil with the GDO coil and tune around looking for a
dip on the meter. The tighter you couple to the coil, IE the closer
you get, the broader but deeper the dip. The more lightly you
couple, the sharper the dip. Try to get the sharpest dip possible
which you can still reliably see on the meter (there's probably
a sensitivity pot for the meter, you may have to readjust this
as you go). This is the resonant frequency of the LC combination.
The frequency scale on the instrument is crude, so use a receiver
or frequency counter to get the exact resonant frequency (note
changing the coupling of the GDO coil will pull the frequency,
so measure it in place). Now use the chart in the Handbook, or
the LC resonance formula, to find the inductance of the coil.

There's a certain amount of "feel" involved in using a GDO, so
practice until you become familiar with how much coupling you need,
how sharp the dip is expected to be, etc. At higher frequencies,
be careful of strays. If you use clip leads to attach the capacitor
to the coil, they may change the resonance due to strays. Try to
keep leads very short.

For antenna work, put a couple of turns across the antenna feedpoint,
or across the end of the feedline, and probe it with the GDO looking
for a resonance dip. Note that there will be several across the
spectrum because antennas show harmonically related resonances.
Note too that the feedline can show resonances, so if you measure
with the feedline in place you have to be careful or you'll be
measuring the wrong thing.

All:
        I am looking for a portable radio with a built in dual cassette recorder
and player that has input controls.  That is, one doesn't have to rely on ALC
(automatic level control) but can control the amount of signal going from the
radio to the cassette or from one cassette to the other.  I had one like this
but
it was stolen from me and I don't know the maker of it.

Thanx,
Keith

You can save about $20 rebuilding the pack yourself. I'm not sure
its worth it. I've done it in the past, but I've got better uses
for my time than busting into glued plastic cases. (If you want
to do it, here's a tip. Put the pack in the freezer for a couple
of hours, then rap it hard against a table edge. The glue will
break before the plastic, so the case halves will separate.)

FT-2200 in it.   I am wondering if anyone has any experience with the
Toyota and could tell me how the trucks computer handled the RF.  Also I
am interested in where you went through the firewall with the power, they
seem to have is sealed up pretty good.

Please E-mail any comments or thoughts to:  [e-mail]

Thanks

Steve WV6U

I have a 95 4 Runner... similar hood and engine layout if you have 4WD...

The Toyota computer and the radio are not bothered by HF and VHF RF... I use a
n
Icom 706 running 100 w 40 thru 6 meters, and 10 watts 2 meter... no problem.

Antennas are on roof (yes, it IS mighty tall when the 40 element is up)

The battery and computer are both on passenger side of engine compartment... I
routed the 12 volt wiring behind the grill to driver's side, (AWAY from
computer) and then found a
knockout rubber grommet right behind the accelerator pedal.... poked a hole in
the rubber (to keep the cushioning for wires so they don't fray)

Did not need RF bypass capacitors, but do have some engine noise (I think it's
fuel pump....) so must do grounding work yet... noise is a minor problem, and
no big deal on SSB... however, CW DX is rough with engine running

>> I have heard of Hostmaster II+ and KaGold...

If anyone asks how KaGOLD compares to other software, consider these facts:

    ANSI Graphics on ALL sessions, simultaneously with KaGOLD, including
    automatic capture to disk. Not supported in Host Master.

    Callbook Support -- four (4) CD ROMS (Amsoft, Buckmaster, QRZ, SAM)
    and SAM disk based.

    Conference Mode -- Automatic, Manual, Remotely Started

    External User-defined commands that allow remote users to request
    callbook data, start conferences, get files, list directories, and more

    Runs in Windows, Desqview, OS/2, DOS, Laptops, Desktops, 8088 through
    Pentium, 16550 UART support.

Now, here are some specific things you may want to compare:

    Host Master resets and disconnects all stations when it starts up.
 *  KaGOLD retains connects, does not reset your tnc on startup.

    Host Master will not exit in any mode other than PACKET, which means
    you cannot exit and leave your ARQBBS on, or leave the unit in NAVTEX.
 *  KaGOLD allows you to exit in any mode you wish.

    Host Master has small scrollback buffers. Default is 100 lines, and the
    access to the scrollback is cumbersome.
 *  KaGOLD has huge scrollback buffers, all dynamically allocated, and
    managed automatically.

    Host Master has a very limited Help "system" (screen) with no help
    on modes, or parameters.
 *  KaGOLD has a complete cross-referenced help system that covers all
    parameters and operating modes.

    Host Master uses a "command channel" to set and view parameters.
 *  KaGOLD allows you to set/change any parameter from any screen.

    Host Master has a single binary file transfer system, and only
    compatible with other Host Master users. Further, it uses a "pacing"
    timer approach which is inherently unreliable.
 *  KaGOLD supports YAPP, RAW binary, and supports the same system as in
    PkGOLD for the AEA PK-232 and PK-88 tncs, and other GOLD protocol
    software (dspGOLD, KaGOLD for Data Engine, etc).

    Host Master has no Conference mode, and multiconnects are difficult.
 *  KaGOLD has manual and/or automatic conferences, allows multi-node
    conferences (mixing KaGOLD and PkGOLD conferences)

    Host Master does not work reliably in Windows.
 *  KaGOLD runs under Windows, Desqview, OS/2, DOS 2 through 6, and
    in VPIX under Unix for the PC. It is "multitasking" aware.

 *  KaGOLD -- Reliable, fast, user friendly, more features, the best!

Does anyone have experience with the SGC Antenna Tuner for the ham radio
bands on a motorhome?  What is your configuration (vertical attacted to
ladder, wire around the roof, etc)  What is the size and material of your
motorhome (aluminum or fiberglass)?  Have you devised a good way to keep
the overall height down or to lower the antenna for travel?  What do you
use for ground?

I would like to operate primarily 20 and 40, but also 75 and 15 meters.  I
have a 35' bus-style motorhome, aluminum sides, fiberglass front & back,
rubber roof.  It is somthing like 11.5 feet high, so there isn't enough
room to mount a permanent vertical.  I am kind of stuck for a good idea on
how to put up somthing that will work, yet is easy to lay down for travel.
 Since the coach is 11.5 feet high, I can't just reach up there and flip
it over or detach it.

Tnx in advance for your ideas.
Guy, w6ljl

Dana,

Don't take Chris too seriously he doesn't take to education too well.

Trying to educate Chris is kind of like trying to teach a pig to sing
it can't be done and it just annoys the pig. You and Gary and others
have experience and knowledge to offer don't waste your time on those
who will not hear.

I did find it interesting that a computer tech (from Chris's sig line)
does not understand collisions and service times better than he seems
to. I learned these lessons on a MicroVax I when I tried to lengthen
the disk drive data cable. The strobe reflections would take the entire
machine down.

We tend to use old Motorola rock bound radios for our 9600 baud stuff
as they are very stable and you can drop a truck on them. The test
points at the discriminator and varactor just make it even easier.
They use a lot more power than the TEKKs but I like the stability.

Now I must retire and put on my flame suit for the "Liar, liar, pants
on fire" tirade that is sure to follow this post.

                            CUL 73 Jerry

Im not sure what you are reading into my post...the "best equipment money

read agin...that is not what I said.


I find it interesting that a fellow ham entering new territory, attempts to do

Gary, as you very well know, the problem isn't just ignorance.
It is not helpful to criticize someone for not knowing something.

The man bought the wrong radio, probably after spending a number of
hours agonizing over the expense, and asking around and getting opinions
from his buddies.  Now he feels honor-bound to defend his choice.

What's sad here is that neither he nor his buddies knew the correct
answer - but there is no shame to him in not knowing.  What's wrong
is that there are still people who don't know that the so-called
'9600 baud ready' radios generally aren't.

The shame is on the manufacturers who are duping people into buying
equipment which is unsuitable (or actively harmful) to the mode.

I would challenge TAPR, the ARRL, and any of the large packet clubs
to make it a point of honor to publish articles explaining WHY those
radios aren't suitable, and perhaps even to provide test data of
each of the various offerings.

I have not read any equipment reviews of any of the '9600 ready' radios
in QST or elsewhere.  Have any of those reviews mentioned T/R delays
or PLL sweeping?  Do the test labs even check those items?
        - Brian

You must have missed all the attempts that have been made on this newsgroup,
in packet radio bulletins, and in QST (5/95) to explain that the equipment
advertised as "9600 baud ready" actually isn't.

Also, it often seems that amateurs tend to believe such a claim in a
commercial advertisement, and tend to disbelieve claims from their fellow
amateurs who happen to have tried it and found it was not true.

This is unfortunate, and not only for their own wallet but also for the
efficiency of packet radio as we all use it.

When a reasonably well documented article like the one in QST fails
to hit the brains of the newcomers, we have a problem.  Plainly stating
"what Kenwood tells you is not true" is not going to make much impact,
and I doubt any amateur is interested in going through a legal case
against the radio manufacturers and distributors about making false
claims in their commercial advertisements.

You guys are really wasting your time here. After all the discussion he
still doesn't get it. It's unfortunate but this attitude reflects that of a
significant number of hams - "I bought it so it must be good and since I
have it now it's good enough. I don't care how it affects others". It's
that attitude that keeps amateur radio stuck in the stone age. It's what
makes 1200 baud packet run at 30 cps and 9600 baud packet at 120cps. It's
the same attitude that keeps us from proliferating  new standards at higher
bit rates. But.... he's happy with what he's doing (I think) so let it
rest. Just don't put a packet station on the same frequency he's on!

The 451a IS "9600 baud ready"...but it just doesnt do the job as well as some
other rigs.

Actually, the money can be considered well spent by some.

One can spend $400 on a radio that can do voice, 1.2k packet, and 9.6k
packet...on ANY frequency of his choice, verses a $150 rock bound rig that
can only do one thing, on one frequency.

It really depends on the person, and how they intend to use their equipment.

Are you slamming hams who dont get, or read QST magazine? Are you
saying that it should be some sort of requirement to read QST?

Very true. I cant afford such legal fees, however, if I ever bought equipment
that didnt do what the manufacturer claims, and they didnt make it right, not
only would I never buy anything from them again, I would spread the word on
them as well.

Take care.

The original question was "are there any rigs from the big commercial companie
s
that will work 9.6k packet?" (not a direct quote from the poster)

I answered that a (my) tm-451a "will work 9.6k packet", so the answer was, and

still is, yes. I also included the TXD in the post, as to show how efficent
that rig is.

Now here are some added points...

Does the 451a work on 9.6k packet...yes.

Did I answer the original question correctly...yes.

Are there better radios than the 451a for 9.6k packet...yes.

Is it true that a 250ms TXD does not utilize 9.6k packet effectively...yes.

Did I already know all those things...yes.

This whole thread was a forum for some who wish to pick apart my every post,
and move away from the original issue...which was the question that I answered
correctly.

Take care Gary.

Well, I was leafing through the May QST in the "reading room"
a while ago and noticed that they *were* including T/R time
measurements in their radio reviews (the 2m HT "shootout").
Looks like they may have been paying attention after all. No
BER numbers in this article though, but I suppose they assumed
we wouldn't try to use a 2m HT for 9600 baud. (I wouldn't.)

Actually Ron it is more than defending his purchase. Chris has never
been wrong. He thought he was once but that turned out not to be the
case. Once Chris makes up his mind he doesn't get confused by facts or
expert opinions. "I said it, I believe it, that settles it." As long as
anyone argues with him he will spew his nonsensical defense. Gary is on
the right track, he doesn't have a clue, he doesn't want a clue so
don't waste any more time or bandwidth on him. Maybe then he will go

No, I have heard enough Kenwood transceivers spewing data at 9k6.

The much bally-hooed ICOM IC-2350H dual band rig has a major bug that
ICOM refuses to admit.

The radio fails to mute to subband while transmitting on the selected
band.  You thus end up re-transmitting whoever is talking on the other
band through your mic without their knowledge.

Granted, the ability to receive while transmitting is necessary if the
rig is going to be used as a cross-band repeater.  However, that
function is NOT DOCUMENTED BY ICOM and could easily have been enabled
when cross-band repeat is enabled, certainly a rare event.

ICOM's super sophisticated, high tech solution ?  Turn down the volume
on the subband when transmitting, and then remember to turn it back up
when done so you can hear the other band again.

My recommendation as an owner of the rig ?  If you can live with having
to make manual adjustments to the radio whenever you choose to transmit
on one band or the other, it's a fine rig.  But this lack of such a
basic function as muting receive during transmit gives it my
"Unacceptable" rating.

Yes, EZ Clone does support the Kenwood TH-79A(D).  It will be ready
this autumn.  Once that rig is supported, we will have support for the
TH-79E (European model) shortly thereafter.

Hi OM,

Thank you for reading this message.

I would like to explore the 'world of RTTY'. I was never active on rtty before
.

My question is what equipment I should use for it on HF.

I heard about some rtty software using Sound Blaster card in PC, and no modem
is necessary. Of course there is no dealer in my country can order it, and eve
n have heard about such software (hi hi).

Any suggestion and tip would be appreciated to my E-mail.

tks, 73

This is a pretty standard 5mm red LED. I can't see why you can't get it
from Maplin or similar.

The clock module is a different matter.

Remember that almost all of the heat in a small receiving tube is the
result of the *filament* current. Since the tubesters don't have
filaments, it is natural that they would run much cooler. These
devices have a large value dropping resistor in the collector
circuit as I recall, so the voltage drop across the device itself
is small, and power dissipation in the device proportionately small.
Still, as I recall, standing current in the devices is fairly low,
but realize it was small in the tube too compared to what we might
use in a modern receiver, IE small receiving tube plate currents
were in the range of 4-15 mA. Reported IMD performance with tubesters
wasn't good, but that also had a good deal to do with the devices
available at the time and with their use in circuits not designed
for solid state devices.

If you were to design a more modern tubester, using GASFETS or
HEXFETS for example, you might find that they'd work pretty well.

I missed the first part of this thread, so forgive me if it's already been
discussed. I've recently become interested in solid state replacements for
rectifier tubes, particularly the 5U4 and the 5R4 (yep, it's a Collins
516F-2). Seems I remember solid state replacements being available for these
(at least the 5U4) but I haven't been able to locate any (haven't tried REAL
hard, tho). Anybody know if & where I might find some?

The obvious would be to substitute a couple of diodes (1N400x) for the the
diodes in the tubes, wiring the anodes & cathodes correctly, of course, and
disconnecting the filament supplies. Seems to me I remember something about
differences in voltage drops between the tubes and the solid state diodes,
tho, and that there has to be a resistor in the circuit (in series with the
diodes?) to compensate for that. Other than that it seems like a simple thing
to do...could even build them in an octal plug and not make any permanent mods

to the gear. Sure would cut down the heat from the supply. Seems like a real
waste to spend all that power lighting rectifier filaments. Probably be
cheaper than new tubes, too.

At the '96 Hamvention, out in the flea market, at thee
end of one of the rows near the Hara arena, someone had
a Navy TCS transmitter and receiver set, on vibration
mounts, with all the dials on it and whatever. I saw the
thing on Saturday and thought about it that evening.

When I went back the next day, the vendor had left and
no one knew what I was talking about. So either I imagined
that I saw those boxes of stuff or it really happened
and I wasn't smart or fast enough to grab it.

Thus: I'm looking -- in a less than casual but not in a
heated way -- for a matching, working, transmitter &
receiver combo of the TCS radio system. It was still in
the RM2 &3 manual when I was in the Navy some 25 years
ago. Sure wish I'd picked that puppy up at Dayton. I
could have added it to my collection of weird old radios.
Some day my kids will be trying to figure out what to
do with it at the estate auction. In the meantime, I"d
like to bother neighbors and act like a salty dog with
such a beast.

Hi,

My name is Dirk and I'm trying to find the correct translation of specific
English tecnical terms about radiocommunication. Things like "hard and soft
trunked radio systems", "frequency efficient" and many more. Anyone out there
who can help me ? Thanks !

I've got a couple of KS900s. There isn't much to tell. Wire it up
to the TNC (D connector on radio), hook on an antenna (BNC on radio),
feed it power (*must* be less than 11 volts, I use 9 VDC regulated),
it works.

There are a couple of things of note. *Obey* the power supply
voltage limit. They aren't kidding about keeping it below
11 volts. And if you don't have a spectrum analyzer handy,
let the factory crystal it up and tune it for your frequency.
It's easy to get a spectrum like a comb out of this thing if
you tune it wrong.

Try one of the following:

Crystek
Ft. Meyers FL
813+936-2109
800-237-3061

JAN Crystals
Ft. Meyers FL
800+526-9825

The phone numbers above are from catalogs which are several years old,
so they may have changed. It's quite possible that either or both of
the companies will have in their files the necessary information to
make crystals for your Tempo One.  If they don't, you can send them a
schematic of the oscillator circuit and they can figure the parameters
from that. From these comments you can deduce that yes, a crystal has
to be made for a specific circuit configuration to work properly.  As
for cost, I haven't bought any crystals for several years, but as a
wild guess, I'd say you're probably looking at $10-$15 each, maybe a
little more.

Good luck with your Tempo One.  I have had one for 12 or 13 years.
Mine had 2 10 meter crystals when I bought it and I never felt the
need to add the others.

yep. was a common thing to do at the time. and then there's radios like the
collins S-Line that run out of socket positions for the crystals since the PTO
only tunes 200 kHz.

>I need to know where I can find the proper crystals to fully install the

just about any of the usual suspects found in the mags should be able to help
(ICM, Jan, Crystek, etc.). You tell 'em what you got and what you want to have
the crystal do and they make you one. (you might have to consult the operator'
s
manual for frequency specs if for some reason the maker doesn't have the
info handy). Tempo was pretty widespread, so the odds are that they crystal
manufacturers will be able to work with just the equipment type and the freque
ncy
band you want to cover.

I tested a Deerhunter 100 amp someone sent to me. IMD is standard method
of -dB from one tone of a two tone test on 14 MHz:

First the results of an !C 706A I modified to reduce IMD level. Power is
PEP:

10 watts 3rd -22, 5th -32, 7th -38
50 watts 3rd -27, 5th -34, 7th -40
100 watts 3rd -30, 5th -32, 7th -41

That illustrates one of my worries about driving a tetrode with ten watts
from a 100 watt exciter. Low order (and some higher order) IMD products
actually get worse at low power.

Next the Deerhunter, reputed to be a "clean" amp.

10w 3rd  -8, 5th -14, 7th -22
25w 3rd -10, 5th -15, 7th -23
50w 3rd -12, 5th -17, 7th -22

staturation power 60 watts in a two tone test

60w 3rd -13, 5th -20, 7th -23

Harmonics at 50 watts single tone
            2nd        3 rd        4th       5th      10th
2 MHz    -4           -4           -4        -10       -16
14 MHz  -3          -10          -17       -32       -43
28 MHz   -28        -38         -39       -37       -52

Won't it be nice if people start using CB amps on the Ham bands?

There is a service bulletin for the TM-732A dated June 28,1993.
Service bulletin code  ASB-1027

        The title of the service bulletin is:  TM-732A Protection of
              Q201 in 430 Mhz unit.

Symptom:        Q201 the first RF Amplifier in the 430 Mhz unit fails
                           at random.

Corrective Action:  Addition of diode D218 in parallel with diode D214
                              in the RA line provides increased surge

                              protection for Q201.

Parts required:

        QTY:  1     Description:  Diode   Kenwood Part no.:HSK277

                                          Circuit Description:  D218

Time required for this modification is 30 minutes or less.  The
modification requires soldering equipment rated for CMOS type
circuits.  It also requires familarity with surface mount soldering
techniques.  If you do not have the proper equipment or knowledge do
not attempt this modification yourself.  Seek qualified assistance.




The previous is directly quoted from the service bulletin I got from
kenwood almost a year ago.  The service bulletin is dated June 28,
1993.   I hope this helps anyone.

Hello.
At our local radio amateur club (LA1AD) we are planning to set up a
TCP/IP LAN with Linux.  So far, we are planning a central site with two
or three ports 1200bps 2m 9600bps 70cm and maybe 300bps HF (or 6m)
In addition to this, two of the members will have a node at home, runing
TCP/IP on 9600 70cm.

We have been looking into the need for equipment and we have sort of
come down to a list of what we think is neccessary:

For LC1MAT:
(Have TM 733 radio for 2m/70cm 9600 and PC)
Ottawa PI2 card with 9600 bs modem

For LC3ZAT:
(Has PC)
either Ottawa PI2 card with modem or mulitimode TNC.
(Would like to have the opportunity to use it with APRS and HF amtor/RTTY)

For LA1AD:
(we have a PC 486-33SX /8MB, and 2m/HF trancievers)
1 TEKK radio for 70cm 9600bps
1 Ottawa PI2 OR Baycom USCC4 card
1 9600 bps modem
1 1200 bps modem
(1 300bps HF modem)

The disadvantage with this setup is that the Ottawa card only has two
ports, and the USCC4 is rather more expensive.  This also means that the
radio group will have to buy a lot of equipment which it can't affort, and
the group radio shack is not very well protected from intruders.

A different solution would be to have only a 9600bps 70cm port on LA1AD,
and a 1200bps port on LC1MAT and a HF port on LC3ZAT, but this would
require some difficult routing setup, and might violate the rules for
installing digirepeaters without a special licence.  Is it possible to
have some sort of digipeating here even when the PC's are shut down?

A very cheap solution would be to buy two serial baycom modems and a
paralell baycom modem for LA1AD, but would this work on this PC running
Linux? Efficiently?

Can an Ottawa/USCC4 card run 300bps packet over HF? Do we need Frequency
shift Keying? or does the 300bps modem implement this?

Is there software for Linux to do APRS? (Amateur Position Reporting
System) With an NMEA GPS.

Can these Ottawa/USCC4 cards run any other digimode?

Is there any particular problems with running HF packet, i.e. on the 14MHz
band?

Are there any problems with 9600 bps modems from different producers
talking to each other?

Would a dual port TNC be very muc better than an Ottawa card? Very much
more expensive? WHat should we go for in that case? We have been looking
at the specs for PK232MBX,  KAM Plus and DSP-232, of different price
classes and different configurastions.  Could any of these digipeat
between UHF 9600 and HF 300? on the AX.25 level? on the tcp/ip level?
(Without a PC attached)

As you understand, we are not very experienced in this field, and we hope
Somebody will give us some advice and share some of their experience with
us, so we don't do all the great mistakes that everybody has done before
us...

Not withstanding it is impossiable to install DPL into a phase modulated radio
.
It really needs to be direct FM modulated for DPL to operate properly.  It is
real doubtful the board with DPL will even work in the IC-2GXAT.  Purchase an
IC-F30LT, it has CTCSS and DPL also can have a man down switch.

Hi OM,

Thank you for reading this message.

I would like to explore the 'world of RTTY'. I was never active on rtty before
.


My question is what equipment I should use for it on HF.

I heard about some rtty software using Sound Blaster card in PC, and no modem
is necessary. Of course there is no dealer in my country can order it, and eve
n
have heard about such software (hi hi).

Any suggestion and tip would be appreciated to my E-mail.

tks, 73

Just my 2-cents worth:

..The Yaesu FT-50R and Icom T7A cannot simultaneously receive on both bands.
The FT-50R has good audio.

..If you want extended Rx on UHF, don't buy the Kenwood TH-79A,  it must be
opened up for the mod.   The audio is also weak.

...The Icom Z1A is closeout priced right now, $299.95 at Jun's Electronics,
but the audio is very tinny.  Maybe that's why it's being discontinued.

... The Alinco DJ-582 is also reasonably priced ( about $310), and the audio
is great.  Rig has extended Rx on both bands right "out of the box" but
sensitivity on the Airband and 450-470 Mhz is lacking.

....If I was buying today, I'd take a serious look at the new Icom W32A.  It
has extended Rx on both bands, receiver is better than the Alinco, but the
audio is not quite as powerful.  Has lots of memories and you can even program

your call letters into the display.

Organization: Just my little old self

No problem with switchers per se, but pirateing a computer supply is
not without its problems.

All switchers require a minimum load.  In many computer supplies its
the fan.  Some assume some minimum load on the mother board.  They go
out of regulation or stop oscillating and smoke with less than the
minimum current draw.

My ICOM IC740 has the optional built-in 13.8 volt supply and it works
fine but it was designed for communications.

There is a big difference between 12 volts and 13.8 volts.  In the
case of my Radio Shack HTX-202 2 meter handy-talky it's 6 Watts at
13.8 and 5 W at 12.0.  That's a 20% drop in power.  Most mobile
equipment assumes a vehicle with a running alternator which is where
the 13.8 value comes from.

>> I have heard of Hostmaster II+ and KaGold...

If anyone asks how KaGOLD compares to other software, consider these facts:

    ANSI Graphics on ALL sessions, simultaneously with KaGOLD, including
    automatic capture to disk. Not supported in Host Master.

    Callbook Support -- four (4) CD ROMS (Amsoft, Buckmaster, QRZ, SAM)
    and SAM disk based.

    Conference Mode -- Automatic, Manual, Remotely Started

    External User-defined commands that allow remote users to request
    callbook data, start conferences, get files, list directories, and more

    Runs in Windows, Desqview, OS/2, DOS, Laptops, Desktops, 8088 through
    Pentium, 16550 UART support.

Now, here are some specific things you may want to compare:

    Host Master resets and disconnects all stations when it starts up.
 *  KaGOLD retains connects, does not reset your tnc on startup.

    Host Master will not exit in any mode other than PACKET, which means
    you cannot exit and leave your ARQBBS on, or leave the unit in NAVTEX.
 *  KaGOLD allows you to exit in any mode you wish.

    Host Master has small scrollback buffers. Default is 100 lines, and the
    access to the scrollback is cumbersome.
 *  KaGOLD has huge scrollback buffers, all dynamically allocated, and
    managed automatically.

    Host Master has a very limited Help "system" (screen) with no help
    on modes, or parameters.
 *  KaGOLD has a complete cross-referenced help system that covers all
    parameters and operating modes.

    Host Master uses a "command channel" to set and view parameters.
 *  KaGOLD allows you to set/change any parameter from any screen.

    Host Master has a single binary file transfer system, and only
    compatible with other Host Master users. Further, it uses a "pacing"
    timer approach which is inherently unreliable.
 *  KaGOLD supports YAPP, RAW binary, and supports the same system as in
    PkGOLD for the AEA PK-232 and PK-88 tncs, and other GOLD protocol
    software (dspGOLD, KaGOLD for Data Engine, etc).

    Host Master has no Conference mode, and multiconnects are difficult.
 *  KaGOLD has manual and/or automatic conferences, allows multi-node
    conferences (mixing KaGOLD and PkGOLD conferences)

    Host Master does not work reliably in Windows.
 *  KaGOLD runs under Windows, Desqview, OS/2, DOS 2 through 6, and
    in VPIX under Unix for the PC. It is "multitasking" aware.

 *  KaGOLD -- Reliable, fast, user friendly, more features, the best!

Take a look at the FF-800 from FF Systems, they have a Web site at http://www.
rollanet.org/~joeh.
I am looking seriously at their controllers. Amongst other things, their DVR b
oard can have
like 72 minutes of storage and can be shared by 3 controllers.

I thought that perhaps it might also be related to a difference in
"linearity" between the AM detector and the FM product detector.  You
are correct, thought, the bandwidth for even narrowband FM is twice
that of a typical SSB filter.

With a TXD of 1.4 second, "spewing" is probably EXACTLY the right word!

Dear Dave,

Sorry, there have been no touch-up paint kits for the Kenwood radios.
The casings are powder coated when painted.  I will forward your comments
to our Product Planners.  There can be a slight difference in color even
with the new radios from batch to batch.

TEKK KS-1000 is 5W radio, but seems also not enough power for using in car.

Use a Mirage D15 amp. Provide about 15 watts out for 3-5 in. Has PIN diode
T/R switching. Two of these back to back with the Tekk gets us a 30ms TXD.

Hi Tony,

I owned a TS-870 for about 5 months and just purchased a TS-950SDX.
Though I never had the opportunity to try them out side-by-side there
are some distinct differences. The 870 is a great rig for the price,
considering that you don't need to buy filters it's a good deal. CW
worked exceptionally well with the combination of DSP on receive and
the keyer for Xmit. Being able to zero beat to a signal and then turn
the DSP knob till you had the isolation you wanted without filter
ringing was a real pleasure. I found on pactor and RTTY that the DSP
filter steps could either be too wide or too narrow and wished for the
ability to choose a frequency between 250 and 500 Hz. I noticed on the
scope that when a FSK signal was tuned in at the 250Hz setting there
was a degradation of the waveform. On SSB the rig performed well with
good comments on transmit audio but there was not the selectivity with
strong adjacent stations that I saw on CW.

The 950 is a great radio! I can't say for sure if you would find it
worth the additional cash but if your operating practices demand it
then it is. The one I have has all the optional filters and though the
narrowest filter on CW does have that traditional ringing sound it does
the job. The receive audio is *very* quite and the quality is great.
SSB selectivity with the full filter choice and the slope tuning is
exceptional. The duel receive is great for working split or just
monitoring one station while searching for DX. It came in very useful
monitoring the various emergency nets during the approach of hurricane
Fran. The antenna tuner works very well and has a manual mode as well
as an auto mode. In the digital modes the combination of filter choices
and IF VBT really work great. The manual stinks!

All in all I wouldn't trade my 950 back for the 870 and am very happy
with my choice.

73 and good luck with your decision

Richard

Not much to know.  Simple idea is that there are two types.  Thoes that you
replace the ink cartridge and get a new print jet (i.e. Hewlett Packard)
and those that you refill the ink and have to clean the print jets.
Personally I lean to the HP type.  The other thing to watch for is those
that use two cartridges, one for colour and one for black, and use the
appropriate cartridge depending on what you are printing and those that you
have to switch the cartridge.  If you have children or a wife who doesn't
understand anything technical (at all, like mine) then opt for the ones
that use both automatically.

The HP 560C works fine.  It's the older model and if you look around might
find one.  The newer version the 660C has a cheaper list and is a very nice
printer.  Now if your feeling rich the get a HP 820cxi...GREAT printer.  I
use a 560 at home and have an 820 in the office.
Quality is more dependent on the paper you are using.  The better quality
is more expensive.  Xerox has come out with a cheaper ink jet paper that's
about six bucks per hundred, quality is fine for most stuff.  If you spring
for one of the newer 800 series then the quality is very good on regular
paper.

Any printer will work with 95, it's just a question of having the right
driver
Hope this helps!

Although it may seem a bit expensive at first the hp855 is a
wonder...you can spool huge files, gifs, jpegs over to it..excellent
quality choices for type of print you want from quick prints, high
quality, to super high quality glossy prints like photos...piece of cake
to change out cartridges..yes one for color one for black..easy to
change..align and alot less expensiv. than others...and i don't even
work for them...k

Does anyone know how much power the 6 meter module for a yaese 736 puts
out.  I have one, brand new, and I can't seem to get any more that about 3
watts our of it.  Is this correct???

Thanks,

You should get about 10 watts out of the 6 meter module. I have the
service manual if you need any data.

Hi.

I am looking to buy 'junk box stuff' to help replenish my shop.  I have been
out of ham radio for 12 years, and in that time most of my RF related parts
have disappeared.  I used to tear apart old transmitters and receivers to get
coil forms, toroids, variable caps, and the like but most of those rigs are
now collectors items, even in non-working condition.

I much prefer to use 'old' used parts, rather than constantly dig out the
'DigiKey' catalog to buy new ones.

What I am looking for is coils, coil forms, variable caps, remnants of old
homebrew projects and long-dead rigs that have useable parts left, etc.
Tubes, (!), sockets, verniers, pots, etc.  (Transformers weigh too much to
ship!).  But mostly after coils and other RF components or portions of old
gear.

Not the 'new in the box variety', but the old scraggly but ueseable stuff
that makes junk boxes famous.  Maybe in $10, $20 or $50 'grab bag' assortment
boxes, or whatever works for you.  Don't go to any bother - just misc
parts and remnants in a box.  Don't bother to itemize - just a basic
description of what you have, and I'll trust you.  (I think hams still do
that!)

email what you have to:

Don't forget the obvious -- post on your local *.wanted and
*.forsale groups, asking for free electronics stuff, and promise
to haul it all off.

You can get some wonderful stuff this way.  Especially, offer to haul
off old TV sets, because they have a wealth of good stable coils and
parts in the various oscillators.

I need a 1.2 GHz mobile to use in a repeater.  An older model would be
perfect.  Memories and scanning are not an issue.

I would also be interested in a 1.2 GHz repeater.

I have recently purchased a Kenwood TR-751A all-mode 2 meter rig. What
information I found convinced me to buy the rig. However, I would
appreciate any additional comments. I did notice that I could not find
any mods for the rig. I checked my usual sources but found nothing. Do
any mods exist?

Can anyone advise on these symptoms.

TS440S has readout which intermittently changes
from valid frequency readout to all dots indication
and where the audio is blanked. Intermittently normal
operation is returned.

I have a Kenwood (my first and last) TS440S too, and have some experiance
in this area.

This means that the pll is unlocked.  The cause is most likely the alien
brown goo they use to secure the vco components to the pwb.  This "goo"
evidently becomes slightly conductive with time & humidity.  This I guess
causes the vco control voltage to get shunted to ground.  You have to
remove all this goo, and I recall the service bulliten reccomends
replacing some or all of the varactor diodes.  Not fun.  The bulliten also
reccomends replacing the alien brown "GOO" with hot melt glue.  I'm not
sure this is any better than what was there originally.  If I do get
around to fixing mine (yet) again, the vco's will either get some
different "goo", or maybe none.

Another problem you will experiance (if you haven't already) is keypad
bounce.  Attempting to enter in a frequency or memory channel via the
keyboard will only result in frustation.  If your desire is to listen to
11.11111 or 22.2222 Mhz, this "feature" will be just what you're looling
for. <G>


Good luck with the radio.

They probably consider it a "feature" that a few people don't like.
Standard Engineering Practice.  There is never anything wrong with the
equipment only the people using it.  Then they wonder why sales are
not what they expected and declare that the market is diminishing.

You'd think if they tested the thing they would have noticed.  Hmmm.
Maybe I on to something???   :-)

I am not sure if you understand the nature of the claimed problem.  If
a radio does not have an option to mute whatever, it is a lack of
feature.  Not a feature, not a bug, it is a "lack of feature".  Many
many mobile rigs (unlike handhelds) do NOT mute subband audio while TX
on the main band.  Not just Icom, according to my friend who owns
Yaesu FT-8500, top model dual band mobile, it does not either.

>Standard Engineering Practice.  There is never anything wrong with the

How come you know so much about Icom?  Just how do you know these
things? :)

>You'd think if they tested the thing they would have noticed.  Hmmm.

They would have noticed it in the last generations of mobile
transceivers.

>Maybe I on to something???   :-)

Because you believe what the original poster said.  However, he has
exagerrated the situation, and has been posting this many times
already.

I recently bought a Yaesu FT-8000R. I'm getting reports from other
operators that the transmit audio is low, and that when I have the CTCSS

their FT-8000R ?

The resistance wire mentioned above works well, but be aware you can't solder
to it.  You'll have to clamp it with a nut and bolt or something similar.
Personally, I'd send Astron the buck plus whatever.

Has anyone else noticed a rustling, almost wind-noise-like crackling
sound on the audio of the FT-50R, when transmitting on UHF (70cm)
frequencies?  This problem occurred intermittently but frequently on my
friend's 50R, so he sent it back and got a new one.  The new one came
today, and unfortunately it exhibits the same problem.  The audio when
transmitting on VHF (2m) frequencies is excellent -- there has been no
sign of the crackling sound on VHF transmissions.

I see a description of a crackling noise problem in a past news article,
now in the http://members.gnn.com/hca/ft50/problems.htm web page, from
[e-mail] on Fri, 28 Jun 1996, but I don't know if this is
the same problem -- probably, but that article did not say that the
crackling happened only when transmitting on UHF frequencies.

We're wondering if the problem exists in a lot of FT-50R radios, or just
a few like these two that we've seen (serial numbers 6G050784 and
6G050797).  The noise is not that hard to hear, but low enough in level
that it is not overwhelming.

I should probably put a recording of the noise in a web page, huh?  Oh
well, it's not convenient to do that now.  Maybe later.

Regarding your UHF noise, I had an FT40 that had the same problem. I had
to send it back twice, and on the third return they sent me a new one that
did not have the problem and has been fine. This may be the same problem
you have. Does it stop when you select low (100milliwatt) power? Mine
stopped making the noise on Low power and it would not do it into a dummy
load, indicating an RF problem. It really pissed me off, but if he has
this problem, INSIST that yaesu or the dealer keep replacing it until he
gets one that doesn't.

I've seen lots of HTs with this problem. Usually, it's caused by a bad
solder connection to one of the internal shields. Recently, I ran into one
that did it because of a bad antenna connection. Usually, it only shows up
on high power, regardless of exact cause.

I recently acquired a Galaxy GT-550 HF transceiver (accompanied by
the RV-550 Remote VFO).  Does anybody out there have a manual for
this rig?  Maybe we could work out a deal with the cost of photo-
copying and postage.

Thanks for your assistance!

O there is indeed another inexpensive 6 mtr. rig...

The MFJ 9060 is out and they had such a run on the first production run,
they are now scrambling to get the second batch out the door...

Looks like the 9020 small...ten watts out comes with a microphone and the
CW adapter is extra...but for $250 you can get a rig with analog tuning a
S-meter and volume contraol on the front...a mic ALC on the back that
adjust the output power with a hot receiver and reports of great audio all
the time..

I know, I own one and have had several friends get them and we are having
a ball on 6 SSB...

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.

Hi all,

I have an old Yaesu FT-227R Memorizer and the lamps for the
"Memory" and "Memory Recall" have recently burnt out.  I opened
the rig in hopes to quickly replace these lamps, but it appears that
these lamps are held in place with wax (or some sort of material).

Does anyone have any ideas on the best way to remove and then
replace these lamps?  Are they in fact held in place with some sort
of wax or rubber cement?

Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Some years ago, if you had a bit of cash saved up and
needed an HF vertical, you purchased a Hy-Gain 12AVQ
or 14AVQ.  The 18HT Hy-Tower was for the truly
fortunate, but out of reach for most hams on a budget.

If cash was short, there were several sources for an
HF vertical that was a single vertical aluminum tube,
with an Air-Dux coil at the bottom.  Tuning was done
by moving a clip on the coil.

Verticals have come a long way since then, with Butternutt,
Cushcraft, MFJ, and GAP now selling some pretty innovative
designs.  I haven't seen anyone selling the Poor Man's
Vertical in a while -- does anybody still offer it?

Thanks and 73,

Rich

General opinion on Ramsey kits varies.  A few are good, some need redesign,
and some are downright crap and illegal to put on the air w/o mods.

Please do not put a Ramsey transmitter on the air without first tuning it
up with a spectrum analyzer.  The 2M kit needs some coil stretching/squeezing
before it puts all the output on the same frequency.  The FM-6 "2M
wireless mike" has no output filtering, and looks like a comb generator
on the analyzer.  You can pick it up in the 2M band, the aircraft band,
the 3M band, etc.

-After getting it all put together it worked reasonably well, though the

A well-known problem.  You might want to replace the audio amp with one
that has a mute pin or key a FET switch in series with the audio path.

-But why would you even consider the Ramsey
-kit (for 2m at least) when TenTec has a full-featured kit that actually
-costs a few dollars less?

Definitely a better choice!

   Well, check out the QST and 73 articles from about two years ago
that found that the Ramsey 2M kits had such badly designed filters
that they were illegal to operate.

   Ramsey kits tend to be junk - extremely poor design, at a premium
price.  If you want a good 2M kit, try the Ten-Tec.  It's far superior,
and costs less.  :-)

I don't remember reading this, but I will check on it. One of the
problems of not having test equipment is knowing if it is doing
something strange.

I built the FX-440 back in the Spring of '93 and it has been my packet
radio since. I don't know if it is junk, but it does its job for me.
By the way, 73 Magazine carried a review on the Ramsey's 20 meter
SSB/CW qrp radio and liked it.  I will agree that many of Ramsey's
kits are on the simple side and their cases leave alot to be desired
(especially if you grew up on Heathkit). I have heard alot about
Ten-Tec and plan to check them out.

This message doesn't mention which wiring you need.
There is a web site with many diagrams for wiring radios to TNCs.

I have bought two of the MFJ pre-wired radio to TNC cables and have had no
problems.  One was for a Kenwood HT and another was for a Yaesu HT.  As I
said I have had no problems with either.  Just my 2 cents.  73

I posted (to ham.equip) earlier:

"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?"

Got many helpful responses. Thanks to all who responded!

The Fix:

Backlash: took apart the PTO and found the nut at the end of the ferrite
tunning rod loose. Used a light application of epoxy. Made sure it was
very dry put the PTO back together. Problem gone.

Tight or Sticky tunning:
Instructed by Drake: Pull the PTO, tighten the bearings within the PTO,
turning the shaft back and forth a few times, then backing off the
tension
on the bearings (done with a 3/32 allen "long") be careful not to back
off
too much or you'll get a lesson in bearing finding and repacking (Drake
dude didn't warn me). Then I finally took the nylon gears apart
and appllied various (graphite powder,then silicone oil)lubricants.
The lubricants made the gears even stick and jerk more!. Noticed the two
larger gears on the shaft that attach to the 1 and 100 KHz dials were
sticking together. Worked the gears apart, cleaned out the remaining
lubricant.
Still sticking but not as bad. Pulled the gears apart again and
carefully
began (gently)sanding the inside nylon gear hole with 300 sandpaper.
Success!!!
Now tunes as smooth as the R4 A/B, can't tell them apart blinfolded.

Now looking for a AM filter of 4/6/8 kHz for the R4C. Any help?

A verticle will work fine on fm; but if you are planning on working much
6m sideband you will find it lacking in performance (cross polarized).

When the band is really open this effect will be minimal; but for local
use it will be very noticeable.  I would recommend that you go with some
sort of horizontal antenna. Yagi, dipole, or loop.  The higher the better
and as many elements as possible.

I am not sure if it has the long rubber skirt like the stock one to
cover the bottom.  Comet also has one but I don't have info on hand.

I owned one of these radios when they were "the synthisized" 2-meter rig.
The closest competition was the Clegg radio - YUK.  You might be able to
put one of these radios on every other 20 kHz frequency without changing
Xtals, but that's the best you'll do.  I put mine on the 15 kHz splits
for Calif (at the time), but spent over $100 (in 20-year-old $$) in
doing so.  You can rubber the existing Xtals around a bit using the
existing series inductors and shunt capacitors.  However, some of the
XTALS may not pull as far as you need, and other may cease to
oscillate.  Good luck!  By the way, I still have the instruction
book, if you need a copy.  This, I think, includes schematic.

Sincerely:

Dave - W6LEV

What would you recomend for a 2 meter mobil radio for instalation on a
motorcycle?
The number one concern is ease/safety of use; simple (and large)
controlls are important! Don't need a lot of features, but need to be
able to access repeaters with CTCSS. Higher power might also be needed,
as the antenna won't be in as good a position as if it were on a car.
What would you suggest?
Thanks!

(POSTED FOR W3HM, WHOSE NEWS SERVER IS TEMPORARILY DOWN.  PLEASE REPLY

I recently bought a new Hy-Gain Hy-Tower.  I installed it per the manual
with 54 buried ground radials and 6 ground rods.  I was able to get it to
resonate on all bands except 15 meters.  The SWR was not that great but
it did resonate.

Last evening it rained for the first time since I had the antenna up.I
could not resonate it on any band.  The SWR was very high. Does wet
ground have such a profound effect on the Hy-Tower?  Does anyone have
experience it the antenna.

I contacted Hy-Gain and spoke with the chief engineer.  His response was
that the antenna has been around for 30 years and lots of people are
successfully using it,and that the problem must be on my end.  Two other
hams have measured it and found no errors.  Any suggestions?

I have a new -GXAT and found something very peculiar, and was wondering
if anyone else had seen it.  When I tried putting 147.400 in an ODD
numbered channel, such as 25 or 35, it stored the frequency as 147.500!
If I store it in an EVEN channel, like 26 or 36, it works OK.  I have
not noticed this on any other frequency, although I have not
systematically researched the problem.

Is this a known bug of some sort, and is there any known fix for it?

I adjusted mine about two weeks ago.  It's real simple.  I *think* there
are instructions at this web site...
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/wa3rvt/htx-202.htm
but I just looked at my schematic and the rest was obvious.  Anyway,
if you open your unit up, there are a couple of pots you can tweek.
The one near the top (nearest the antenna, etc.) is for power output
and the one closer to the bottom is for mic gain.  The more I turned
mine clockwise, the *less* mic gain I had.

I am currently working on two Linkcom controllers that I was told blow
fuses. Has anyone worked on any of these before any ideas?
Also I need a RF Probe & a Grid Dip Meter. Any good sources for those
that will work in the VHF/UHF band. Working on a 290 watt 220 MHZ amp
that I need them for also would like to find a good watt meter and dummy
load for the same.

lightning) and I am think about getting the Yaesu FT-1000MP. Does anyone
out there have any experiance with this radio GOOD or BAD and or any
comparison to the Kenwood TS-950SDX. I need all the info I can get

Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.

Besides the fact that the 2500 is not a dual bander, has anyone owned
both a IC2350 and a FT2500 and can tell me the pro's and con's of each?
Can the IC2350 do cross-band repeat?
I currently have an FT2500 and am thinking about trading it off and
getting a IC2350

Frank, I have two of the FNB41 MAHA batteries and they are superb in my
opinion. First off...they are 900Mah vice 600Mah for the Nicads.
Second...they will top off quickly, they do NOT lose their charge as fast
as the earlier generation of NiMH batteries would do.  I bought two for my
FT50R and have no problem with any heating or abormal events using the
Yaesu standard wall charger you get with your FT50, nor with their desktop
rapid charger. I ordered mine direct from MAHA (see QST or CQ ad) and
Mister Maha shipped them same day. Tell him you have heard wonderful things
about his batteries...and ask him for a discount if you buy two. (hint).
 I like NiMH batteries far better than Nicad. The cost difference is
decreasing each 6 months.  73 <N1FSK>

Hi All!

A Ham friend of mine is going to turn his MFJ-1278 into a TNC-2 and in
the Manual is says that he needs (after other minor changes) to change his
eprom (They Call It U23 in the schematic) with an eprom that has NEtrom or
TheNet software included. He is puzzled ... Were can he get such an eprom?

Hi Mark

How about a used one for $75.00 + shipping sound to you as I have two of

Just found someone with an IC-25A and an IC-45A sitting on a shelf.
Look to be in good condition, neither has a hand mic.

What do you think they are worth and what are there features ie tones,
power output, mods etc

The IC 25 is a 2m mobile

the IC 45 is a 70cm mobile

Thanks

>Hello..

I have a kenwood TW-4000A dual bander.

2m/440m  25watts each band... All works fine except for scan
I never tried to fix it since it stopped scanning. It has 2
antenna ports so you can use 2 antennas.  It also has the
PL tone encoder option in it. Also it has the optional voice
readout so it will talk to you in english or japanese!
touch tone mic with up/down.  I have of course the original
box/manual/packing/mount etc... even the warranty card hi hi
Of course it shows some wear but has only been mobile for the
past year. I think it could stand to be opened up and have all
the daughter board connections cleaned and tightened up. In
very cold weather when you hit a bump it gets a little distortion
in the receive audio, I havent snooped into it for the lack of
time but I can almost guarantee it is a loose ground on the
audio amp daughter board. But I have lived with it for a year
so it isnt that bad.
Rig has 10 memories on each band and 2 vfo's, and priority watch.
I dont know what to ask for it but if you interested in it make
me an offer and I'll get back to you..

Thanks
Chet

Hi:
        You  should be able to do a jumper mod to expand the rx range,
but you may not have any luck on  expanding the tx.
If you radio has a "J" mark on the back of the unit or
on the out side of the packaging carton, the expanded
tx is impossible without a cpu swap.

I have a differential type meter...you "tune in" the center temp you want,
and then the meter shows + or -; also a tone is generated changing in
pitch as you get further away from the zero point.
what temp range do you need?

Summary: Packet Radio Question

Hello,

I have a question about putting together a packet radio set
up at home. Currently, I have a Power Mac 6214CD, a handheld
2m Transceiver from Radio Shack HTX-202 and a 28.8 Microcom
modem (i guess this modem would not help, right ?).

Can anyone give me some advice on what sort of hardware and software I
might need to experiment with packet radio ?  My budget is about
100.00 $ (perhaps less but definitely not more).

Thanks in advance,
Srikanth, KB0TRX.

Hi,
        I am looking for a schematic/service manual for a Microwave
        modules MMT 144/28 transverter. I recently had to sell my
        primary VHF/UHF allmode and need to repair the xverter
        to get back on. I would be happy to pay for reproduction
        and shipping costs. Please E-mail [e-mail]

                                        Thanks, Rod. (KD0XX)

The battery experts out there can explain this better than I, but in my
experience charging nicads, the fully charged voltage is usually 10-20%
greater than the nominal voltage rating. I've found this to be the case
with many battery packs as well as AA & D single cells, using both quick
& trickle chargers.  Additionally, when the charged voltage drops below
~20% of the nominal, the battery is pretty much dead.

In other words, what you're experiencing is normal.

I just got an Icom IC-215 at a swapfest.  It's labeled a 'Handy
Transceiver'.  It's quite bulky, which makes it somewhat 'unhandy' in my
opinion.  But it works and I'd like to get a few more sets of crystals for
some local repeaters.

Here's the rub:  I don't know anything about crystals.  Do I have to buy
very specific crystals for this, or are they all the same?  Where do I buy
crystals?  How much do they cost?  I've at least figured out there is a
'transmit' and a 'receive' crystal for each channel, so I think I'm on the
right track!

BTW, does anyone have any info on this unit, like it's average age, power
output, etc?

Greetings, all...

I have a question:  I'm considering purchasing a Drake R-8A receiver for
both SWL DX chasing and to be used as a ham radio receiver.  As a ham
receiver I'd be using it mostly (at least initially) for CW.

Question:  Is it a good choice?  SWLers seem to like it but what do
hams think of it?

Thanks in advance for any comments!

Regards,

Summary: Question on Packet Radio with a Mac
Keywords: Question on Packet Radio with a Mac


Hello,

I have a Mac 6214CD and a HTX-202 - looks like I'm the only
one in the world with this combination :(

I need some help on which TNC and software to acquire to get started ?

I surfed the web all day yesterday, received replies
to an earlier posting on this newsgroup and figured that PERHAPS
the three options I have are

1. AEA PK-12 + MACRATT
2. KPC-3 + HostMaster for MAC
3. BayPac BP-2 + SoftKiss 1.8 + Savant 1.0.2

and of course some soldering (which I was hoping to avoid).
But the more I look around it seems that connecting the TNC
to my HTX-202 would definitely require it.

Are these observations right ?

I was also told that the HTX-202 is very much like some old
ICOMs so the cables from MFJ to connect the TNC to a HTX-202
should work just fine - is that correct ?

Options 1 and 2 seem quite pricey unless I find someone to
sell me used items for less. What are your thoughts about the
3rd option.

Can you suggest some other ways to get started ?  I'm feeling
miserable at this point that I bought a MAC !  Had to give in to my
wife's request.

Thanks a lot,
Sincerely hope you can address my problems....
Srikanth, KB0TRX

I just received the September issue of CQ HAM RADIO, the Japanese
ham magazine that is a virtual catalog of ham gear.  The new
equipment ads typically run in here 4 to 6 months before QST or
the stateside magazines pick up the product --

there is NO SIGN of such a rig (and for what it's worth, Icom uses
different model numbers on many products in JA versus USA) even
after searching descriptions, etc.

While this could be true, it has yet to hit the magazines.   From
experience with the launch of the ICOM -775DX2, (JA model of the
ICOM 775DSP), the magazines were running ads MONTHS before product
availability -- just like they did with the IC706 in the USA.

Hi gang ...

Does anyone have any experience with the mm270b dual band
mag mount from pro am?

AES has them for about $40 and I like the fact they use the
mini coax instead of rg58.. makes it a whole lot easier to
deal with in the car..

Hi,
My name is Dirk. I'm looking for the translation of specific English
technical terms in the field of radiocommunication, like  : hard and soft
trunked (or trunking) systems, to scan, turnkey solution, frequency efficient,

repeater station, channel spacing, desktop computer, message editing,
forwarding software, power supply and many more. Anyone out there who can help

me ? Thanks a lot.

Dirk

I'm not sure if this is the right sub or not, but i'm gonna shoot for it.
 I have the Radio Shack HTX202.
Pretty good radio when I bought it. I could get plenty of repeaters and work
SSB. Well, I had been living in a 3rd floor apt and was given the chance to
move down to a 1st floor. That was great for me and the kids, no more stairs.
But, the location of the apt had made me think about my ht. The apt was stuck
in the back corner of the building. I told my landlord that I would have to
think about it due to my hobby and gave him a good explanation. He said,'Well,
tell ya what. I'll let you in the apt, and you can bring you radio in and see
how it works." I said ok, but if it doesn't work, I won't take the apt. Hmmm,
turn down an apt for a radio?? Strange. Anyways, I went in with the landlord
and fired up my ht, threw out my call and asked for a signal report. Kd1yd cam
e
back with a very good report for me. Said I had the best transmission he had
heard from me in a long time and that I was actually full dfq for once. Boy wa
s
I thrilled! well, moved into the apt, making sure my ht was the last to go so
it wouldn't get banged up during the move. Got settled in and set my ht on my
desk. A couple days later, i fired it up and threw out my call and got no
response. So, I just set it down and waited. Two days went by and I didn't hea
r
a sound. I threw out my call again asking for anyone on. No answere. This time
i noticed I wasn't even getting the repeater tone. Flipped over to another
repeater and asked if anyone knew of any problems with the Mt. Tom repeater.
Everyone said no. Called a friend via landline and he also said no, in fact he
was on 94 at the time I called.
 Well, I started thinking something was strange. Maybe the great transmission
i
had was a fluke, So I took my ht out to several places where I knew that i
could get out real good. Still nothing. No squeeks, white noise, tones or
nothing. I borrowed another radio from someone and retried at home. no
problems. Transmission was great. Tried mine again at home and several places,
nothing. Well, needless to say, I came to the conclusion that my ht is dying.
Of all the repeaters I was able to hit, the only one I can get now is the 67
machine. Not even sure if I can do ssb anymore. Sorry for the long story, nut
figured it would be a good idea to give the cercumstances behind where my
trouble started.
 In any case....does anyone at all have any idea what might be the problem and
have a way to fix it. I really can't afford to send the radio out to be fixed
and not really good at something like that myself, but willing to try. I miss
my ht and miss being on air. It's been like this for several months now and I
need to do something. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
                                        I thank any and all for responding

HI THERE, well---interesting story.  Actually, I chuckled at the end
through amusement.  Being honest and serious though--I estimate that
either your radio has passed out or once you moved all your nice
electrical applicances and items from top floor to first floor that
toppled out your chances of getting out on your HT.  Never bank on an
empty room--example, we were moving office equipment and furniture to
14th floor of building and I turned on my shortwave portable when the
office was empty and got splended receiption; however, once the office
was filled and equipment up and running I barely got anything.  In fact,
if I decide to transmit on my HT at office (which could be similar to
first floor apartment at home) I must stand by the window and do get out
to repeaters close by.

Now on with your crisis!!  The higher up the better it is for radio
transmissions; however--the main thing is the higher the antenna.  Since
your landlord is aware of your hobby would you be allowed to prop a 5/8
wave antenna up on the roof of your apt.bldg. and run the feedline into
your apt.?  You would get out like gangbusters then!!!  I think you
mentioned that you tried another HT just to see if you were getting out,
well if that HT was doing fine why not invest on one like that??  Back to
the 202--the life of 202s should be longer than what some are actually
getting out of them and I have heard people with problems and took them
back to Radio Shack and was given a new 202.  Have you tried your 202 in
another area outside your apartment and the area lately??

One last thing here---Stan KE4PKB on Shelby Drive, Augusta, Georgia, is a
Radio Shack 202 expert and could help you very much on your crisis.  I
don't know his e-mail but if you write a note and mail it to him along
with your e-mail he will most likely be on the computer to help you out.
You will locate his full name and address in the QRZ database.

Best wishes and good luck!

I was the victum of a break in.  They got the control head / front panel
for my Kenwood TM-742.  Kenwood will not sell a replacement control
head.  They insist it is cheaper to buy the whole radio.

If you have a control head for a TM-742, TM-942 or TM-642 I would be
interested in working a deal.

I own an IC-2700H.  It receives from 136MHz to 174MHz and 400MHz to
479MHz.  From stock it receives on within ham bands but the wide band
receive is only a CPU function mod. by pressing a few keys during
power on.  This radio has excellent functions, I love it; but it is a
poor performer in intermod rejection.  I currently use one DCI
bandpass filter on each band to reduce intermod problems.  It works
and get rid 90% of the intermod.

The better dual bander in intermod rejection I have heard/read are
Alinco 610, possibly Yaesu FT-8500, and not too sure Standard C5712.
If you absolutely want better, try single band ones like Yaesu
FT-2500M, Icom IC-2000H, IC-28H, and their UHF counterparts.
If you still want the functionality of the Icom rigs, the newer
IC-2350H and IC-2710H have attenuators built in on the squelch knobs.
Although hardly a good solution, but it does reduce the problem when
use (turn pass 12 o'clock).

Good luck.

I am currently shopping for a 6 meter all-mode transceiver...
preferably a mobile but a base unit capable of 12Vdc ops would be good
as well.

I am also willing to consider units that aren't in the best of
operating shape, and might need some repair.

Please E-Mail if you have one to move.

Can someone tell me if installing a FTS-22 CTCSS decode board into my
Yaesu FT-8000r will take over the function of both encoding and decoding
the CTCSS in my radio ? The CTCSS encode tone on my FT-8000r (without
the board) is to loud when enabled, and almost sounds like a power
supply hum. I was told if I installed the FTS-22 board, I would be able
to adjust the encode deviation level with VR1 on the newly installed
board. Without the FTS-22 the CTCSS encode level is fixed, with no
adjustment unless you replace a component.

Does anyone know good ways to determine the output impedance
of a transmitter? I'd like to match a 50 ohm antenna to a
transmitter of unknown output impedance. The transmitter is
of fairly low power (1mW or thereabouts).

FWIW, the radio is a National Semiconductor "AirShare" NBFM data
module on 902-928 MHz, that I'd like to convert to ham use. I'd like
to attach an external antenna, to replace the internal microstrip
antenna. If anyone has info on these boxes (HSC sold them a while
back, and they also appeared at a flea markets), please drop me a
line.

My best idea so far is to experiment with an LC matching network
and listen to the TX output on a remote receiver for best signal.

And in my opinion, well worth the cost just for the support you receive.
I had a problem and a quick call to RT Systems had my problem resolved.  I
looked at the phone bill and the call was so short the toll charges were
under $1!  If pirated software becomes a problem for them...who would
expect this to continue?  Not much in life is free, and you usually get
what you pay for.

>Unplug ur modem to use the ft50 software

Well, thats one way to do it,  but a much better way would be to
purchase a serial card that will give you COM3 & COM4.  Then use COM3
for the ft50.  You will most likely NOT be able to use the default IRQ
for COM3 (IRQ4) as it will probably be in use by the mouse on COM1,  so
set it to another, unused IRQ such as 5 (possible conflict with sound
card) or 7 (usually LPT1 but parallel printers usually don't use an IRQ
so it is safe to use).

If you have an internal modem,  it could be moved to COM3,IRQ5 and the
ft50 used on COM2.  If you have an external modem,  the BIOS may be able
to redefine COM2 to COM3,  allowing the extra card to be COM2 for the
ft50.

In any case,  both the com & ft50 software have to be told what IRQ &
COM to use.  If either are sufficiently braindead,  they may only
support COM1 & COM2.

Note also that some display cards use COM4.  In this case,  you won't be
able to use it.

I am looking at buying the Alinco DR 610T or The Alinco DR 605T.
Which is better.  I was told that the 610 had a lot more bells and
whistles but that the 605 had better audio.  I am wanting to use it
for voice as well as packet.  I would also like to know how it would
stand up to hard use.  Or if you had a better radio I would like to
also know what it would be.

I have a DR 610E (The european version) and am very pleased with it!

I haven't noticed any problems with the audio....it seems great to me!

        I just passed my Tech Plus test, and I would like to sell the 3 VHS videos an
d
floppy discs that I used to study for the exam. Everything is like new, and it
 really
did help me prepare for the exam. I want to upgrade to the General License, so
 I'd like
to sell these before I buy the General Class course offered by ARRL.
        Cost new was $129.00. I'm selling for $100.00 plus S & H. Contact me via e-ma
il
for further information.

Covers 440-512Mhz, has 196 channels (14 channels occupied by U-com board).
Receives and transmits on LAPD, LASO, LACo Fire, most local PD's including
Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, Santa Monica, OC Couty PD's, Amateur band, and
more.
Comes complete with 2 ultra high capacity (1200mah) batteries, a alkaline case

for backup, a quick charger, a swivel clip kit, and programming cable &
software.
This is THE ultimate UHF wide-coverage with more than enough channels to back
it up.  I've only had it for a month or two.  I must part with it in order to
come up with tuition money.
I paid over $1,400 + tax.  I'm asking $900.  I think it is a very good deal fo
r
someone who appreciates high quality commercial radio like Bendix/King.

I was recently in the market for these same radios and decided on the FT-50
when I went over to Texas Towers and saw the Icom IC-T7A HT.  It only supports

xmit/recv on one band at a time, but that's all I really needed in an HT.  It
is a nice size (the FT-50 is kind of chunky if you ask me) and it is light
weight.  It also shares accessories with other Icom models which makes owning
multiple radios less painfull.

The radio is limited to 4W output, though.  I belived both radios you
mentioned are capable of 5W.

My thoughts

Does anyone know how I can repair a piece of flex circuit in a HT
radio? My flex with 21 conductors broken and yaesu wants $400 for a
new flex (the radio didn't cost that much used). They will not sell me
the flex except to purchase connected modules that come with it.
Thanks. Any advice would be welcome.

I own both of these radios. If you don't want to scan, the FT-51R is the
better overall radio, hand down. There are more options (i.e. in car mount
that works, BNC antenna connector, fewer bugs, easier to use, better
display, 3rd party batteries). I have not been happy with the FT-50R vs
the FT-51R at this point. Maybe that will change with more time. I guess
the clincher was whan the windows machine I was using with ADMS software
crashed and hosed the radio settings giving my  TX/RX a limited range.
While this was not hard to fix, on the FT51R the radio can be brought back
by itself.The 50R required connecting back to a PC and sending a new
template.The 50R keypad was not enough.  There  are also a few anoying
bugs in the 50R. You may ask why I bought the 50R if I already owned the
51R? I bought because I wanted the wide scan feature of the 50R. I was
tired of carrying  a scanner and a radio. For more 50R info go to:

http://members.gnn.com/hca/ft50

This is the all around best 50R info site. It also has some doc's that

Both are fine radios.  Biggest differences are the size and configuration of
each radio.  Both scan very fast.  The FT51R costs about $150 more roughly
due to it's slim design, more memory capabilities, and other enhanced
features.  Both radios are "easily" modified.  You can also configure each
of these radios using their software which is a BIG plus.

I've had a 50R for a month. It fell 5 feet onto gravel and no signs of
damage. Really great audio, and a scanner better that a BX 200xlt!  I
still need the manual to program it. Good signal report on the ducky. SMA
connector is a minus. AEA hot-rod looks like a Sequoa tree on a tennis
ball.

Yes, This is a more positive role for HF
people. The HF bands will soon be recovering
from the Southern winter so those signals
from the antipodies will be coming through.
Take a look for the home-stations, mobiles.
During the third weekend of October is JOTA,
where amateur radio combines with the
scouting troops and camps, so another
opportunity for some pleasant operations,
with the Worlds Youth - in scouting.
On one occassion I QSO'ed to Tatum Park,

Greetings All.

At this weeks Melbourne Hamfest (Fl) I picked up a Heath HW8 QRP rig.
Great condition and it works, but --- it seems a bit deaf.

I recall seeing a compendium of mods for this radio but can't find it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

TIA

Hello all,

I recently acquired a HQ-170 "parts radio" which I decided was worth
trying to fix.  Both of the 3035 kHz IF transformers were badly damaged.
 Both had missing cores and wires form coil windings ripped out and were
completely detached from the circuit.

I managed to carefully reattach all the wires, and I found suitable cores
in the junk box.  I could easily tell how T2 was wired (old lead remains)
and reinstalled it.  For T1, I could tell how it went back in to the
circuit, but not which direction.  In other words, I could install it one
way with the six contacts in one orientation or I could install it
rotated 180 degrees with the wiring in a second configuration.

I took an educated guess, and installed it so that the bottom winding of
T1 couples to the top winding of T2 (I don't know whether it would be
proper to refer to these as primary and secondary or not).

Well, the receiver works!  And it works on all bands, so obviously the
1st converter is working.  It still needs help, though. The sensitivity
somewhat low and the 60 kHz IF needs alignment.  The notch filter doesn't
work either.  My question is this: does anyone know if I installed T1
properly or not?  Would the set play at all if I had installed it
backwards?  Could the marginal performance be attributed to having
installed it backward? I don't yet have a a schematic or manual.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks & 73,

Clark, KD9QI

I need help. I want to hook up an osicilliscope to the output of my 100
watt transciever(for test purposes). The literature i have says I need to
use an attenuator between the coax output of the transmitter and the
scope. My question is : If I hook a 50 ohm dummy load in parrelel through
a coax T, Is that the same thing? Or do I still need to attenuate the
signal to the scope? If so is there a cheap way to do this? Is an
attenuator a 50 ohm resistor in series to the scope and if so can I us a
low wattage resistor to do this?Thanks in advance. David Panek KE4MLV

The Heath (wish they were still around!) Cantenna had a "sampled" port which w
as connected to an RCA (phono)
jack.  This was connected to the 50-ohm line through a series 4.7 pf (if I rem
ember correctly) capacitor to
"sample" the line.  Of course, the amount of energy coupled to this port is de
pendant on the frequency - more
of coupled at higher frequencies.  You can also use a small loop of a few turn
s just "stuffed inside" the small
bow mounted on top of the Cantenna and connect this to the 'scope.  Good luck.

Oh, no!!  They've woken Cecil!! Run for th hills!!

Of course, Cecil is correct.  Also, measuring S22 (as someone else
suggested) tells you very little for the same reason - many amplifiers
designed to drive 50 ohm loads do not present a 50 ohm load at the
output.

Given that the manufacturer of the 900MHz module is known, the
easiest way to find out what the intended load is would be to call
the manufacturer.

The return loss of a transmitter intended to drive a 50 ohm load
is often very low - a transmitter can be designed to drive a 50 ohm
load and not present a 50 ohm load.  A signal generator that
is intended for testing in a 50 ohm should present a 50 ohm
load, but a transmitter is a different story.

I can turn most any source into a 50 ohm source with a resistive
pad, by the way...

You probably don't care what the output impedance is.  What you want
to
know is the impedance into which the output stage delivers maximum
output consistent with low spurious output.  Then you build a
network
to convert your 50 ohm load to this impedance.  Classical theory
would lead you to the assumption of a conjugate match, but these things
ain't at all linear.  And your 50 ohm coax likely doesn't present
anywhere
near a 50 ohm load anyway.

Suggest you hang a coax on the output.  If it does what you want, ship
it.  Try moving the tap point along the stripline for maximum smoke.

I ordered one of the remote cables from Amateur Electronic Supply. They
had it in stock and I had it in just a couple of days. That was about
a month ago.  Ham Radio Outlet folks told me there were none to be had
in the USA, but I think they were misinformed.
Good luck...this is a sweet little radio (IC 706).

ICOM rep at the Shelby, NC hamfest 9/1 said it still hasn't passed the
FCC's testing  for sales in USA - also said FCC is concerned that it
might be easily modified to pass the cellular frequencies and ICOM is
not allowed to announce  pricing in US until it passes all tests.

He had the sales literature, though.

Weird that this big radio (obviously not meant to be an under-dash
mobile scanner) works only from 12V! You have to use an external
converter to run it from 120AC.

Does anyone have good or bad experiences with the
Yaesu FT-3000M dual-band mobile (70 watt).  Is this
a new model?  How does it stack up against the new
FT-8000?

From the data sheets the FT-3000 seems to have more
power (70w vs 50) and more features (DCS, ARTS,
alpha display, spectrum scope, soft keys, twin fans,
full duplex) than the new FT-8000, for less money.

Am I missing something?

I need some information on low band GE Master II's. I would like to use
one of these as a link transciever on our 440 repeater which is a UHF
Master II. I have located several but they do not contain the channel
elements, GE's ICOM modules. I have several of the EC/5C modules from the
UHF radios, what do the low band units require for the channel elements?
Also...any information on modifying the radio to 52 Mhz. would be
helpful. Thanks!!!!

Hi Jim,
Had the same problem except I a had UHF MASTR II with out ICOM's. I
converted a set of VHF ICOM's to UHF by changing the cap in the ICOM
which connects one side of the crystal to the circuit board from 25 pf
to 13 pf.

Hope this helps

I had a KPC-3, then sold it and bought a KAM plus.  Both are fine units.
The KPC-3 doesn't do any HF modes, so if you think you'll ever feel the
itch for HF packet, rtty, pactor, etc... then go with the KAM.

For VHF use, the only difference that I've found is that the KAM Plus comes
standard with 128K of RAM, and I think the KPC-3 was 32K.  That leaves a
lot more room for mailbox space and other uses.  Honestly though, most
people don't use all of the 32K that's in the KPC-3, so don't choose the
KAM based only on memory.

One other difference is that the KPC-3 is good for portable use.  It will
run for more than a day on a 9V battery, and is VERY small.  The KAM uses
12VDC at around 100-200ma, and is bigger and heavier.

Good luck!

The KPC-3 is unable to do 9600 BPS (no disconnect header).

Purchased my TH79AD back in Dec 95 along with charger and long life
battery, and some other accessories.  Was about $800 for all.

Did mod from Artsci book and got general coverage rcv and transmit plus
questionable 300mhz rcv.

Seems to be very good rig.  Does have intermod problems on general
coverage freqs from pager xmtrs, but thats to be expected on freq ranges
not even spec'ed  by Kenwood.  Could probably be eliminated with simple
152mhz (and other bands) notch filters being sold nowdays.  Actually, can
eliminate it by orienting ant in right direction, so D.R. can't be too
bad.

300 mhz operation after mod is very iffy, containing lots of stuff from
400-500mhz range also.  Probably if you added filter would end up being
usable.

Older units are supposed to work on 800-900mhz band after mod, but
evidently mine is too late serial for that.

Be very careful if you do the Artsci mod, as the diodes to be removed are
microscopic.  Find someone else with surface mount soldering cabability if
you don't have a fine enough or low enough wattage (<25W) iron-   or drink
too much caffeine (or are one of those no-code truckers on dexedrine :)

Hi there,

I'm the lucky owner of a TWT labeled:

Microwave Electronics Corporation
Tube type: M5188

There are N-connectors in and out, and (as known to me) special
connectors for the other voltages.

The problem is that I don't know where (QRG) and how I can use it. Can
you help me?

The company is still in business in Palo Alto, California.  You might
be able to get a data sheet from them out of their ancient archives!
I doubt if they are building TWT's anymore,  and probably have not
been for the last 20 years or so,  but who knows?  Maybe some
of the guys/gals from the SF Bay area will see your note and have'
better info.  Sounds to me as if the tube was used below 2500mHz,
but again you never know.

My local repeater club purchased an old GE PRogrees Line receiver to a
provide 6M Skywarn backbone audio feed into the repeater.  The
receiver looks very similar to a model ER-39-C  ( 4ER39C68-85)  for
which we have a schematic.  Unfortunately the receiver must not be
that model as the boards and wiring do not agree with the
documentation.

The only numbers we can obtain are from the PL board and the AUDIO,
SQ, & IF board.   The numbers found there are:

PL19D40237G4 REV  (ink stamped on board assy)

19C303450 R4   (on PC foil pattern)

We would appreciate any service information any readers might have.

No, it hasn't changed. People forget, people are new, some don't care...
For the record, the wanted/for sale stuff goes in rec.radio.swap.

It probably went something like this:
Yaesu market research determined that the most you'd pay for a
 replacement battery
was $62.95.  That's the price of the big one.  (Doesn't matter that
it probably costs them $5 to make.)

Now, the only reason anyone would want a lower capacity battery is that
it is lighter/smaller.  That's a benefit to you.  Be glad the marketing
guy didn't win the argument or that benefit would have cost you more.

Don't think of it as a good deal on the big one.  You're being ripped
for the small one (actually both) because you don't have an optional
source.

Hi, David,
As I remember, the 99 was bringing around $60-100 up and running,
depending on cosmetics, the 145 in the $100 range, and the Knight I am
guessing at $75-100 as it is similar in function to some other xmtrs
that draw that price. This is based on hamfest prices in WNY region,
different areas seem to have different economies when it comes to
older stuff. Of course, mint rigs will draw more, inoperative or
marginally operative, as well as "modified" (read mickey moused),
equipment will bring less. Hope this helps.

Hello,

Could somebody advice me if there is any handheld transceiver/scanner
nearby:

        1. Tx/Rx (AM) on Air Band (118-137MHz)
        2. Tx/Rx on VHF (NFM) 156-225 MHz  (ground comm.)
           should be on the 168.xxx MHz
        3. Dual fx receiver (it is not requirement)
        4. Wide band VHF/UHF receiver - scanner

However, I don't care about HF (SSB...) but I want a good performance
on the VHF/UHF receiving (app.100-500 MHz AM/NFM) and above.

Thank you so much for the help and any information.

Some one in my post about wanting beam plans for 146 MHZ, 220 MHZ and 440
MHZ suggested I try a quad. Does any one have any plans for quads for
these frequencies that would give say 18DB gain?  I would appreciate any
help. 5+ elements would probably be good.

In my original message, I had pointed out that its ham usage would focus
on CW.  According to the Drake propo-, er, sales brochures, the SW8 isn't
designed for CW.  Certainly I'd want to use decent filters for CW...

Why do you not like the R8A?  Price?  Bad performace?

There are other people that know more about this than I do, but
I will take a shot at it.  Generally, when 6m is open, expect
a single hop distance between 1000 miles and 2000 miles.
When it is open, small power is enough.  Note, however, that at
this phase of the sunspot cycle, openings are rare.  There are
quite a few 6m repeaters; I know of one in Denver, for example.

My opinion is my own, not that of my employer.

Does anyone with any electronics knowledge know how to make a small 9 v
battery based FM transmitter?
It would need to operate in the frequency spectrum used by a typical radio.
I have a mic pre-amp stage- its just the RF side which I need help on.

Any infomation would be very welcome.

Hello Isaac,
I have the Ten-Tec 1208 XVERTER I build if from the kit back in May of
this year and am very pleased with it. I have worked 120 grids from my

Quad at 40 ft. sence May.
Don't have anything on the MFJ.

 It was probably just an error in shipment. I've always found MFJ's
 products to be of good quality.

Well to add a comment.   MFJ does have some problems sometimes in
communications within their own offices.  When I wanted to order one of
their MFJ1171 (Commodore Digicom Modems) their 800 opr at TECH office kept
telling me there was nothing wrong with the modems and they had like 200
sitting on the shelf collecting dust.  Their 800 opr at SALES kept
insisting at first that they had "none".  Then when confronted him with
the words of the TECH opr he said that was true but there was something
wrong with the modems thats why they quit selling them and were instructed
to just keep them in the warehouse.  Another call to the TECH people and
they completely refuted that and said they sold them for years and no
problems whatever.   One more call back to Sales and told them to ship
me one regardless.  The guy was nonplussed, and said "you mean you want
us to ship you one even though we warned you something is wrong with
them.  I replied exactly that "ship it".   They did finally after a 2
month delay of phone calls after calls etc and the modem finally was
received and worked perfectly ever since.   So they obviously have an
in house problem in comms between each other, but as to their products, I
would say FB!.

TH-79 /// RECEPCION Y TRANSMISION DE MENSAJES
---------------------------------------------

* LA INFORMACION QUE A CONTINUACION OS MANDO NO APARECE EN EL MANUAL DE
* INSTRUCCIONES DEL TH-79.

LA FUNCION DE MENSAJERIA SOLO FUCIONA SI SE ACTIVA LA FUNCION "DTSS" O
TAMBIEN CON LA FUNCIONA DE "PAGING"-AMBOS EQUIPOS DEBEN TENER PROGRAMADOS
LOS MISMOS TONOS DTSS (000 POR EJEMPLO).

RECEPCION DE MENSAJES:
----------------------

* BASTA CON ACTIVAR EL DTSS O PAGING Y ESPERAR A QUE LA ESTACION REMOTA
NOS MANDE EL CORRESPONDIENTE MENSAJE. TENGO QUE ACLARAR QUE LOS MENSAJES
SOLO PUEDEN CONTENER 6 CARACTERES ALFANUMERICOS. CUANDO RECIBAS UN
MENSAJE APARECERA EN LA PANTALLA UN DIBUJO (HOJA CON ESQUINA PLEGADA)
Y A SU DERECHA EL MENSAJE. A SU VEZ ESCUCHARA UN BIP.

TRANSMISION DE MENSAJES:
------------------------

* SE TIENE QUE ACTIVAR EL DTSS O PAGING. EL MENSAJE DE 6 CARACTERES TIENE
QUE EMPEZAR POR EL CARACTER "#" Y ACABAR TAMBIEN POR "#", ES DECIR QUE
SI DESEAMOS MANDAR LA SERIE DE NUMEROS 123456 DEBEREMOS MANDAR #123456#
LA COSA SE COMPLICA CUANDO DESEAMOS MANDAR CARACTERES DEL ALFABETO, PUES
EL TECLADO DTMF QUE TIENE EL TRANSCEPTOR TH79 NO TIENE 25 TECLAS CON CADA
LETRA DEL ALFABETO. PARA ELLO DEBEMOS REFERIRNOS A LA TRABLA QUE ADJUNTO:

          A   B   C    <---- DECLADO DEL TRANCEPTOR
       1  Q   Z  " "
       2  A   B   C
       3  D   E   F
       4  G   H   I          " " --> CORRESPONDE A UN ESPACIO
       5  J   K   L
       6  M   N   O
       7  P   R   S
       8  T   U   V
       9  W   X   Y

       ^
       |__ TECLADO

SI DESEA MANDAR LA LETRA "J" DEBERA MANDAR #5A# (SIEMPRE SE MANDARA EL
NUMERO SEGUIDO DE LA LETRA)

PARA MANDAR "MADRID" SERIA: #6A2A3A7B4C3A#
TE RECUERDO QUE SI TE PASAS DE 6 CARACTERES NO FUNCIONARA !

PUEDES UTILIZAR LAS MEMORIAS DTMF (MENU 9) PARA ALMACENAR MENSAJES. PARA
ENVIAR LOS DTMF PROGRAMADOS BASTA CON PULSAR EL PTT+MHZ SELECCIONAR LA
MEMORIA DTMF Y PARA MANDARLA PULSAR NUEVAMENTE MHZ


Espero que os sea de ayuda. Roberto Munoz

A friend of mine came across a Yaesu FRG-8800 SW receiver.

Can anyone tell me what this model does, how old it is, what's
special about it, how much it's worth.  He says it has an add-in
board for 110-174 MHz.

Along related lines, are there any web sites that have product
lookup tables where we can find specs and rough prices?

I think the June or July QST had a fair runoff on a bunch of HT's, the
one I really remember is the ultra tiny Standard that they reviewed.  I've
heard good and bad about the 202, but ultimatley it seems "worth" the
money.  I have an ADI-200 and I wish it had the intermod protection that
the 202 has (I live in mega pager land) but then I would lose the wide
receive.  The only negative things I can recall about the 202 are; PLL can
unlock at 5W when using the rubber duck and the TX audio dissappears
when the battery gets low.  If you forget the fact that it comes from Radio
Shack and is butt ugly  (IMHO of course)  :)

Is this the WEN soldering gun which is shaped like a revolver?
I had one and, unlike the previous poster, know what you're going through.

This gun uses a special tip, sealed and spot welded to a tube.
The entire tube/tip assembly is replaced as a unit.
I've not seen them for sale in years. However, WEN is still in business
making other products (electric hedge clippers/chain saws/portable drills,
etc.) maybe they still stock those tips. Try contacting them - I don't
have their address.

I recently acquired the above rig at a flea mkt - the version with the WARC
bands - I've also seen the '101ZD without the WARC's.

I am interested in hearing from other users about any pitfalls, etc. So far
I've been having a lot of fun with it.

You can post replies here, or send me email directly. Many thanks.

Hi All,

Does anyone know of any hardware or switch-on mods for the FT-11R?

Extra coverage or would be nice.

It also doesn't seem to like strong signals and overloads easily. It
still seems to be quite sensitive but anything more than a rubber duck
on it just blows it away, any suggestions please.

Please E-Mail me of you can help with any of the above.

Cheers,

Steve.

I am thinking about buying this radio from HRO for about $460.00 my
question is as follows.

Is it really worth it, that is a lot of money.  I have been told that it
is the only mobile that puts out 70W and I really need that extra power
but is it worth it.  If I droped down to 50W could I get other types of
radios that are just as good for a lot less money.

Some one out there please shed some light on this for me, I am looking
for a deal, not a piece of junk.  I don't mind paying to extra money for
that power but is the radio worth it?

Thanks for your help in advance, please reply by e-mail,
Storm

I bought and use the FT900.  Here are my (not very detailed) comments.

The receiver is excellent.  Very sensitive, and with the optional SSB and
CW filter (both of which are "musts") the rig is quite selective.  The
transmitter leaves nothing to be desired either; it is very good.

The overall quality of construction is better than any rig I've ever owned.
The radio is mounted in a heavy-duty cabinet, with an overbuilt heat sink.
Although the radio isn't rated to mil-spec, I'll bet it could be.

The radio is not a good Pactor rig.  It can only receive digital on SSB if you
use the data connectors on the back.  This means that the CW filter is not
usable for Pactor/Amtor.  This is the only drawback of the rig.  It can be
mitigated by buying a good outboard DSP filter such as the Timewave DSP59+
or others in that class.  The rig does not have true FSK.

The remote front end is a pain to do and undo.  You have to use these
teeny tiny little screws in order to mount the head remotely.  If you re-mount
the head to the chassis, i.e. for desktop use, nothing on earth is easier than
to lose these easy-to-lose parts.  This is not a snap-on operation, although
it is very easy to do with a tiny phillips head jewelers-type screwdriver.

The antenna tuner is very gutsy.  It will match antennas with 5-1 swrs,
which my Kenwood TS850 would not tune.  This is a VERY nice amenity
to have.  It is a must.  Very nice for mobile and maritime mobile operations,
where often your antenna ground is such that you can't get the SWR to be
very good.

The radio's controls are almost all actual knobs, with few menus to fool with.
This is critical in my opinion, because you don't have to memorize
screwy key sequences the way you do with the comparable Kenwood and
ICOM products.  You really don't need to look at the manual much, the way
you do with other modern small HF mobile radios.

Overall, the radio is excellent.  It's strong suit is the quality of construct
ion,
and the fact that as far as portable rigs go, it has fewer compromises.
It works very well, with no surprises.

At the Gaithersburg Hamfest I bought the main part of a Yaesu FT-4700RH dual
band mobile transceiver.  Does anyone know how I might locate a manual for it
or a location for new or used faceplate and mic? The seller said he tried
Yaesu for the parts and was told that they're not available.

Any help would be appreciated.

   Akiumi!!
   Are you related to Mr. Hasegawa who was the founder of Yaesu Musen
   and ran the company until he passed on a few years back????
   Sorry, Akiumi, I don't recall Mr. Hasegawa's first name. I met him
   back in 1985.

No relation. So I'm using Kenwoods TS-50V.

Hasegawa is one of popular family name in Japan.
The family name of the owner of my favarite radio shop is also "hasegawa".

He said that he found many hasegawa in his client list. He concluded
that "hasegawa" may have a tendency to catch ham flu. hi. hi.
And its true for me.

What a thoughtless thing to post on a newsgroup for discussion of
equipment.

Not only is this the wrong group for postingf any sale item, it is for a
business. If everyone with a business was this rude, newsgroups would
quickly become useless.

Ernie is that 1.2 Mhz or 1.2 Ghz?

I do mean 1.2 Ghz gear - any ideas, recomendations? Should one

I'm looking to purchase a 6 meter antenna.  I want to go horozontal
polarization, but don't want to go to a yagi antenna yet.  I have been
looking at the AEA HALO-6, has anyone had any experience with this
antenna?

will be so far superior to anything else you could install, there's no

Why is it that when anyone asks a question about using an omni
antenna on VHF most of the time they are told to skip the omni and
put mup a small beam?  Not all of us have the room to put up and
swing a beam.  I run omni's (a Ringo Ranger and an Eggbeater) and
have a lot of fun with them.  In each location I have mechanical
blockage that would limit a beam from turning more than a few degrees.

As there have been a number of questions about 50MHz lately, I thought I'd
mention (and recommend) the following book.  It is the best comprehensive
introduction to Six that I know of, and will be particularly useful for
newcomers (or those who are considering getting on 6m):

"Six Meters: A Guide to the Magic Band" by Ken Neubeck, WB2AMU

Price: $14 postpaid.  (Calif. residents add 93 cents state sales tax.)

Publisher:      Worldradio Books
                Box 189490
                Sacramento, CA  95818

I have no relationship to the publisher nor author, beyond that of a satisfied
user of their work.  I wish everybody who just got a IC-706/DX-70 or other
6m-capable rig would read it, especially the sections on band plans and
correct operating procedures.

I would have thought that was some 180 degrees too far for

You are wrong! It costs money for the programmer to sit down and program
all these functions and features. Programming is not easy and hard work
when you have to debug your code. So yes somethings are worth the money. I
paid $39.95 for my ADMS software and felt it was well worth it considering
that you can do so much with the software. It is great to have a way to
input so much all in one shot instead of using the keypad.

So pleasee purchase the software! Hobbies always cost money. I figure mine
will cost me an easy $3000 before the year is even over with!

Somehow your message came in with a strange subject line. Even though your
main point is correct, that this IS NOT a proper group for posting items
for sale or wanted, people posting ads may not read it.

I didn't know if you knew the subject line was incorrect, so I thought I'd
mention that.

Why doesn't the FAQ list automatically get posted to everyone every month
or so? Other groups do this, and that might cut down on the for sale
stuff, especially from dealers.

I'm trying my hand at packet radio.  Following is the equipment in
use:

        AEA PK-96 TNC
        Yaesu FT-8000R
        IBM cloan running PC PakRatt Lite

Now the problem.  The radio and TNC are about 25 feet apart.  There
are times when I hear packet tones on the radio and the DCD light on
the PK-96 comes on, but nothing is seen on the screen.  Other times I
hear a real strong signal, but the DCD light doesn't even flicker.
Once in awhile I do get something on the screen, but not very often.

Is the cabel length a problem?  Do the TNC and radio have to be fairly
close together?  Any suggestions.

Any number of receivers were commonly used, such as the Hammarlund
general coverage HQ-100, HQ-170, HQ-180, etc.; the Drake 2B; many
Hallicrafters and National models.  A lot of vhf work during the years
that the TX-62 was produced was accomplished using a receive converter
for the vhf frequency along with a good hf receiver, which was used as
the i.f. and subsequent audio stages.  War surplus gear was also used,
such as the BC-348, but that wouldn't reflect the vintage of the
TX-62.  Ameco made a series of "Nuvistor" (very small metal tubes)
that worked well at vhf.  They made 6, 2, and 1.25 meter versions.  I
used a homebrew nuvistor converter on 6 meters.

You are correct about the vfo covering all three bands, and the TX-62
covering only 6 and 2 meters.  Their marketing and engineering
departments were probably out of sync.  Shortly after the heyday of
the TX-62, a lot of the vhf interest shifted to fm.  I don't recall
the octal plug.  A lot of rigs used octal tube bases and sockets as
cheap connectors for power supplies, and unit-to-unit control
connections.

You're OK, David - the current drawn by the transceiver is determined by
the transceiver (as long as the power supply can provide it). The
current rating on the power supply relates to the maximum that can be
drawn by equipment connected to the supply.

Just make sure that the voltage is set correctly if you have a variable
voltage power supply. Unlike the current, this has to be set to the
value needed by the transceiver.

Myself, for the sake of economy I would only get a power supply a bit
above the maximum you need - 35 Amps seems a bit excessive for a rig
that needs 20 Amps for full output - unless there is little difference
in cost or money is no object.

Best wishes, and enjoy yourself.

Hi all,

Last year I've installed an FM-radio on my electrical wheelchair. It
was not very cheap, it had a pricetag of over $1000. But it was worth
it, at least, that's what I thought, because the music sounded great
and the reception was excellent. But oh boy, was I disappointed when I
turned on the wheelchair, goodbye music, hello AWFUL reception!! Heaps
of interference, the only station I could still receive was a local
radiostation in our town, all the other stations lots of interference.
Obvious question, is it possible to improve the reception or to get
rid of the interference?? I must say, the wheelchair is computer-
controlled and it seems this computer causes the interference.
Technicians of BOSCH tried to fix the problem, after two hours the
only thing they achieved was to short circuit my 24v->12v-
transformator! If even technicians of BOSCH can't fix the problem, who
can!!??

You won't get a 'kit' but you can get a DMM module. What exactly do you
want?

In my garage, I have some LH Research switchers model # MM-11. 115/230 VAC
input, 5 volts @  75 Amps! single output. I have probably 20-30 of these
beauties! Like new! For those not familiar with LH Research, they make very
rugged reliable power supplies that barely get warm at full load!  They sell f
or
hundreds each new. $125 each + shipping.

For you amateur radio operators out there, these can be hooked up in series to

run those HF rigs. I know someone who ran 2 ( husband & wife's HF rigs ) at th
e
same time, off the same switchers they placed in the attic between their shack
s!

Selling my Yeasu FT-7. This is a 5 band, 20 watt rig, analog tuning, with
a really HOT receiver. Very nice for mobile and portable use. It's
in extremely good condition; only problem is a noisy AF gain control,
mainly from sitting unused for too long. Clean the pot and the rig is
perfect.

$350 postpaid in the continental US. Priority mail or 3-day UPS at
cost.

The manual states the DC power requirements to be 13.1 - 15.2 volts. How
can this be supplied from say a deep cycle battery? Will battery voltage
be enough to power the rig perhaps at reduced power? What other means of
emergency power would be appropriate for the rig?

You can also buy a copy from Yaesu for $7.00 if that is more

A cursory look appears that receiver sensitivity drops off at 220 MHZ
but the transmitter spectra looks clean from 136-220.

The [AllowAnyFrequency]=0 parameter in the win.ini file doesn't appear
to do anything. Try running WFT50.exe /DEBUG. If you happen to have
access to the software for programming the Yaesu Vertex (commercial)
equivalent of the FT-50 try running it cexxx.exe -m it will ask for
a password. If anyone has a copy of this software they want hacked for
the password send it to me uucoded by E-mail.

There is no side place to plug it in. There is a DC cable however that you
can buy that fits into a cigaretter lighter plug and connects through the

I have a Heath Intellirotor that is under the weather.

All seems to work alright except the position feedback
which is not all that complex, but until I get a scope
I am unable to isolate the problem, unfortunately.
(working on a deal on a Tek 466, but I'll have to wait)

It has been time-consuming to go through the calibration
repeatedly to find that it still does not work.  It is
NOT merely the 741 or 555.  The microprocessor is fine.
(Heath stills sells surplus as is but does not support them)

Anyway,

1) Anybody out there fix these?

2) Anybody have an extra control unit (keyboard/display)?
   I'd buy it seperately or complete setup.

3) Anybody want to buy mine "as is"?

It is a 'neat gadget' but is useless sitting on the shelf.

IMHO this rotor controller is the best out there as it allows
stand-alone control of antenna position by grid, country, bearing,
prefix, etc etc.  Also automated features to protect T2X brake.

If somebody wanted a really neat project, building a modern
replacement for this little gadget would be near the top.

(I have seen new controllers, but none I've seen allow the degree
 of stand-alone control with built-in keyboard/LCD display as well
 as computer control, but I'd listen to alternatives possibily)

 Alot of folks should be EXTREMELY CAREFUL when dealing with anyone on the
"net"  looking for Moto software !
The folks  at Motorola are very actively trying track down and deal with
through the full extent of the law ANYONE
violating any aspect of distributing, unauthorized program etc with their
software. If it ain't specifically licensed to
you, then as far as Moto is concerned your a target. Believe they are
going after folks. Even at ham fests and yes, here on
the net.  Laugh it off if you want. It sucks. But it's there toy.

 Ask some of the folks in the Chicago area who Motorola has some high duty
suits against.  The guy at the Fort Wayne, IN hamfest,
down in Texas, etc etc etc.

I would be very carfeful posting this kind of illeagle activity in public

Amazing how fast things change. When we were trying to comprehend
Morse, then came business radio, and that made amateur seem silly...
then came video and computers and then...

For all of you old-timers that have been electrocuted by the plate
voltage in a tube-type 400 mHz transmitter then I submit that we
should all get a keyboard and a computer and try out this new stuff.
Cyberspace is something to behold if you have never experienced it..

For a sample of the impossible, download the program "Pluckit" from
www.pluckit.com.

It finds and transferrs picture files from the newsgroups to your hard
drive.

Amazing...

I am in nead of a DX60 parts radio...I specificaly need the plate tuning
variable capacitor, tank rf choke, band switch, bottom cover and rf cage
cover, and possibly the low pass filter assy....I will take a entire
transmitter if the price is right, looks are not important. I am not a
Heath collector, I plan to use this to repair one I was given and use it
onthe air....thanks .

Does anyone out there know what cables/transceivers/interface I need to
use the computer interface on a Kenwood TS-140S?  The manual does not go
into any detail on this at all--it mentions it, but not what
parts/pieces are required.  Any help at all would be appreciated.
thanx

Does anyone have any info on modifying the RIT control on the HR2510?
I've seen the mod before, but I can't find it anywhere.  If so, is it
switchable back to normal RIT operation?  I need the normal RIT for cw
operation.  The 100 Hz tuning increment is too broad, the RIT would
fine tune it if it would track on transmit as well as recieve.  Also,
any other mods would be helpful, thanks in advance...>>

Does anyone know if a duplexer can be used on the output side of the
AT180. I'd like to use a duplexer for LB and 6M rather than a coax switch
or will the duplexer cause the tuner to hunt. Tnx for any input.

I have a Drake TR7 that I bought new about 15 years ago. It worked very
nice, but recently it has a lack of power in TX. I only get about 15 or
20 watts out. The LED of the ALC light at maximum power in 40 and 80
meters (pot at total clockwise). In the other bands it light sometimes
at maximum power. I have changed the ALC board, but I didn't get to
solve the problem. Can someone help me?. Pse some info in the news or in

The lastest and greatest is of course digital technology and some of this
will be (is) used with Analog to Digital conversion and vica versa but
the real jump in technology as far as RF communication is concerned will
be when the signals are transmitted as digital signals.. this is already
coming for some bands (cellular) and of course this is incompatable with
the current receivers... kind'a like high tech CW but a little more
complex than morse code.  And when will hams start using spread spectrum
(SS)?  i.e. call w/o SS and exchange codes.. then go to SS mode. In fact,
my bet is that there are already hams doing it..

  Hello everybody and many thanks to read this mail...

I have bought an ICOM IC-706 for 3 months ago and I have a lots of
problem with it. In june, 1996 I bought this radio and I installed it the
same day. I works well only for 30 minutes. After these 30 minutes the
radio output power on HF bands is very low, about 10 W on 10 meters and 0
W on the rest of the bands. On 144 the radio works nice. I had to go to
the shop and after 15 years they decided to give me a new transceiver.
This new IC-706 worked nice for 15 days. It has the same problem as the
first IC-706 I had, the power output on HF is very low, only 10 W on 10
meters and when I gto down on the bands the power is lower !!! At this
moment my IC-706 is again there to be repaired but they didn't found the
problem. They says that the problem is on the filters...but they didn't
know how to solve it ! At this momment the radio is from the beginning of
July there. I have bought this radio on june and it only has been in my
home for 20 days !!! Now, ICOM SPAIN in Barcelone they says that they are
going to send me a new ICOM IC-706 but I think that I am going to have
the same problem ! I know more friends which had the same problem and
what they do is buy a YAESU o KENWOOD radio because  ICOM in Spain has a
very bad services !!! I don't know how does ICOM works on another
countries but in Spain it has a very very very BBBAAADDD services !

If you had the same problems with the IC-706 and know how to solve it
please send me a mail.

Many thanks for reading this mail, I hope to solve it as soon as
possible. Someone send me a mail that changing a chip-capacitor in the
filters solve it but which capacitor ???

73s de Rob, EA4ABB

****** DON'T BUY ICOM 706 !

I picked up an IC-EX2 interface unit at a hamfest recently, without the
operating instructions.  I have been able to key the amplifier, but am
still puzzled on the use of the marker and the antenna jacks.
I would appreciate any help available on the use of this unit, and if
possible a copy of the operating guide ( I will pay for copying and
postage).  This is being connected to a 730.

Yes the smarttune rcan handle full power on a continious basis but not
below 2mhz. It will also handle very long wires but possibly with some
gaps. You may need to lengthen or shorten on some freq.
SGC will send you an instruction book.

Hi

I have been away from the hobby for several years, and now I'm about to
start up again. But it's a jungle out there ! Two radio's have caught my
interest: the Icom 736 and Kenwood TS-50.

My needs are: a little DX, some rag chew, and the possibility to bring
the station with me to our house at the beach.

Now which one should I choose, and are these two rig's any good at all
??

Vy 73 de OZ5ABO,  Per.

I have the JRL-2000L linear and I think it's excellent.  If you want
a dealer, try Gilfer in NJ.  Email Paul Lannuier as [e-mail].

I've a Kenwood TS-830 that all of a sudden, has low receiver sensitivity.
Seems like someone put an attenuator in the antenna line (but not).

Anyone have any ideas?  Could the first FET in the rec'r chain be broken?

I've finally decided to jump into a dual band radio 2m/440,
and I have already looked at a Kenwood 733a and an Icom (unsure, think it
was a 2350h)  Does anyone have any comments on either of the radios.  The
only thing i've
noticed, is the Icom seems to be about $100.00 cheaper

Tnx,

Hi Mike-

I have been beating the bushes trying to find a Rabbit or some
equivalent, and actually for this case, "more expensive and better"
would be much preferable.  Can you point me to a source for either the
Rabbit or the better quality unit you mentioned?

Thanks VERY much for any help you can provide...

I've used one for just a few weeks.  It is able to tune my HF vertical
(Gap) to less than 1:3 swr across the entire band, and less than 1:1.5
in the interesting parts of the band.  It has a built in meter, which
operates on all bands (an extra I didn't expect).  I'm pleased with it.

Just new into Ham radio and want a dual band 2m/440 unit. Can't afford
to have a unit at hom eone in the car and a HT ! What would you advise:
possibly going with a mobile w/110 power supply so that I could switch
back and forth. OR maybe a HT & add an amplifier ?
Any ideas surely appreciated.
Thanks
Doug

As reported here about 3 months ago, Alinco has released the Alinco
DX-70G in Japan.  It has just gained FCC Type A for sale in the USA so
look for it soon.   Details?   It is, infact, the same chassis as the
DX-70T except now includes 100W PA on six meters.   The PA deck is also
"sold separately" for those who own a DX-70 and want to upgrade.

Apparently, the Yaesu FT-1000MP has an AM sychronous detection mode
that's activated by pressing the AM mode key twice.  I heard this from a
friend who has one-- It's not even mentioned in the manual!

Also, Drake is considering development of an HF ham band transceiver (the
TR-8?)  I spoke with an employee in their service department who said
that the people in marketing aren't convinced it would fly.  He
encourages everyone who would like to see Drake re-enter the ham field to
write a letter to their marketing department!

I just stumbled onto one of these; offered for $550, perhaps less.
Question:  How old are these beasts?  There seemed to be a LOT of
birdies at the low end while I was playing around -- I couldn't
check the entire freq range, but...

How about intermod/overload problems?

Any mods to look out for or even check for?

Any idea on filter availability for this thing?

Any info on this -- pro or con -- would be greatly appreciated!
I have to make a decision early next week.

I've worked 48 states on six using an indoor dipole and about 100W.
Many of the stations I work run only 10 watts or so.  When there is
good E skip a 10W rig is well above S9.  You won't see much difference
going from 10 to 50 watts.  You can buy a beam and have the same
signal with better reception when the band isn't wide open.

Most E skip is in sping and some in January.  The way I do it is just
leave my radio on when I home and run to it if I hear anything.

Best Regards,

John,  W0GN

Using an Alinco DX-70T that puts out 10w on 6meters SSB/CW and a Cushcraft

Help!

I ride a motor bike and would like to operate two wheel mobile.

I've already got Speaker and mike mounted into my helmet for
an intercom, and would like to use them for my 2M handheld,
the only problem is how to operate remote PTT from a switch on
the handlebars of the bike?

The HT is an ICOM IC2SE and I imagine the set up to be:



Speaker >O========|----|======- 3.5mm plug
                  | ?  |                   Icom IC2SE
Mike    O|========|----|======- 2.5mm plug
                     1
                     |
                    PTT
                   Switch

The only problem, what goes in the box to switch the
ICOM from Rx to Tx?

Any advice welcomed.

An old timer gave me a Siemens Communication receivers 1.5-30 Mhz
It is a large (50*45*40 cm)tube receivers (17 tubes)and it's look like
it was built for army use. The set should be 35 years old.
On the front panel there is a label with the following details:
"Siemens, Rel 445e311a, F-Mr 5/376271"

Does anybody have some details about this receiver ?
I also need the electronics scheme because some of the functions are'nt
working
properly.

Please send any info to: [e-mail]

Many thanks & 73

At least in the US you can use credit cards.  We don't list prices, per
se, but rather indicate when the price "steeper than usualy" i.e.  >$100
in the US.  You still have to call HP to place the order.  I've bought
manuals for my own hobby work and the prices are pleasantly affordable.

I submit that folks should refrain from answering the survey until Jerry
explains better what he's after.

If he's looking for market research, he wants one thing. If he's looking
for current advice, he probably wants something else.

I doubt that what I bought 25 years ago makes any difference to him at all.
But I could be wrong.

What are you after Jerry?????

Bought?  My first radio was an Oak Hills Research 40M transceiver that
I built from a kit, in '93.  The only pre-built commercial radio that I
actually bought was an HTX-202 2M HT, and I just spent a few pennies
on an ancient 2M multimode base rig.  :-)

Jim <[e-mail]> shared these priceless pearls of wisdom:

->My first ham rig to use was an Atlas 210X mobile HF rig in a base
->console; my first ham rig to buy was a Kenwood TH-21 2m handy-talkie.

My first receiver was an Echophone Commercial (5 tubes, made in 1946,
didn't quite understand "insulation" 'cause it would knock you on your butt
if you touched the tuning knob and the kitchen sink at the same time).

First transmitter was a homebrew 6L6 oscillator driving an 807 that took
Uncle Milty off the air for a half mile radius of the house.

My goodness, I did almost the same thing.

I was in sixth grade. We had no money, so I went to the dump and would
bring home old radios like the Zeniths in the big wooden cabinets. I took
plates off the tuning capacitor and tried to make one radio cover two
meters!

I put a pair of twisted wires across the IF stage of an old 1940's
receiver, and used it as a BFO. I built a transmitter on a piece of peg
board lined with foil, using parts from  a TV set I got free at the dump.
I collected pop bottles and bought a PR crystal for 7175. It was a 6AG7.
Later I added a 6BG6 PA stage.

Purchased a low cost VGA/keyboard switch
with some 15-pin cables.  The cables are
"cheap" and do not have 3 coax (for each
color).  Predictably in SVGA mode, video
is somewhat degraded...questions:

1) would the more expensive coax VGA cables
   be better?  by how much?  perfect?

2) can switching sources of video with SVGA
   monitor on cause any damage to board or
   the monitor?

3) does the switch itself (not using coax
   inside) itself cause any degradation?
   Does NOT "appear" to, but difficult to
   tell really?

4) are such switches a good idea?  trouble?

Would like to be able to share one monitor
and keyboard with laptop from time to time.

Any other ideas?  [e-mail]

Have built/fixed numerous ISA/VLB/PCI computers,
but never opened a laptop before, so I have a few
(hopefully) simple questions about my T1910 mono
laptop (486SX33 4Mb 200Mb):

1) how to add numeric co-processor?
2) how to add 4 Mb more RAM (to 8Mb)?
3) how to install Win95?
   a) worth the trouble?
   b) from CDROM over network?
   c) other?
   d) will it work (how well)?

Have an older 10bT PCMCIA card in it which I use
with the Microsoft DOS networking drivers which
allow me to access ethernet from Win3.0.

Would WFWG be a better choice?  I think only my
5.25" disks are still good for WFWG.  How to do?

Any other suggestions?  [e-mail]

Linux is quite popular, but I'm just a bit
confused exactly why it would be a good idea
for me and what special components it would
take to get running?  (I like "adventures.")

I sold my Mac+ which was getting little use
lately.  Now, I need to find a better use for
my mono Toshiba laptop.  Have heard some are
running Linux on laptops, but heard few details.

What I have:
1) Toshiba T1910 486SX33 laptop 4Mb/200Mb
   256 color VGA w/monitor, 2 PCMCIA slots
2) Toshiba 3301 SCSI sgl spd CDROM (external)
3) WD SCSI HD 200Mb (external)

What I may need (cost? source?):
1) Linux CD or download s/w
2) inexpensive PCMCIA SCSI interface
3) optional memory upgrade (to 8Mb)
4) optional 486SX math coproc
5) old 10bT PCMCIA NIC may not be compatible?

Questions:
1) Why would I want to do this exactly?
2) Is the laptop compatible?
3) Which PCMCIA SCSI interfaces are compatible? How expensive?
3) Which PCMCIA 10bT NICs are compatible? How expensive?
4) Possible to have dual DOS/Win3.0 and Linux boot?

I am VERY curious to hear details about this "adventure."

Brian, if you have Web access, try looking at the Linux Documentation
Project home page at http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/ - I believe most of your
questions will get answered there (the site gets busy some times, but keep
trying).  If you don't have Web access but have a decent bookstore in your
area (e.g., a Barnes & Noble store), you should look for some Linux related
books.  Some of these books come w/ a Linux distribution CD-ROM; FWIW
that's how my brother obtained his first Linux distribution.

As to your question, "Why would I want to do this exactly?", I think you'll
have to do some research & soul searching.  If you want a Mac-style OS (& I
don't think you want such a beast), then Linux isn't what you want.  If you
want to learn about a UNIX-like OS, or port UNIX applications to a PC, or
want a multitaking, mulituser OS, etc., then Linux might be of interest.
I've noticed several Ham related Linux applications mentioned on the Web,
and perhaps this trend may continue.

Good luck -

TGB

I notice that there seem as yet to be no mods for the TS870. I was
wondering if this is because the radio already has everything and so
mods would be pointless (unlikely!) or is there some deeper reason?

Hi DJ,
Our company, PAR electronics manufactures a number of filters that may
be of help. We make a deep notch filter for 2M that has 75 Ohm in/out,
less than 1 dB loss @TV freqs. The efficacy of the filter assumes of
course that your problem is front end overload of the television rx or
any amps/preamps. The filter MUST be placed before any amps as these are
the most likely source of overload.  E-Mail me if interested.

73,  Dale for PAR electronics

Howdee.

I've been looking for a compendium of mods for the Heath HW8 QRP rig.

It's been suggested that I get the book "HW8-Handbook" by the 73
magazine QRP editor. 73 Mag. doesn't have the book.

Can anyone point me to a source OR does anyone have a copy they would
sell?

TIA & 73

I noticed in this month's 73 magazine -- classified section -- that
the author has it back in print.  I don't have the magazine with me,
but I believe it is self-published and _not_ in the "73 BookShelf" (or
whatever Wayne calls it.)

If I remember, I'll look for it again and re-post here tomoro.

Net/Mac is public domain for TCP/IP and Host Master Mac seems to be
about the best for Kantronics boxes - way less than $100.00. MacAPRS
is good too but your Mac+ will need lots of memory.

A trip to my home page reveals there are many good files and programs for
amateur radio operators that want to use Mac computers.

<http://www.mv.com/ipusers/wd1v/>

* Ham Radio Test Simulators - where you can go from Novice to Extra Class
practicing the actual tests right on your Mac! Check out the info on the
new NO CODE license or scramble your neurons and learn Morse on the Mac
too!

* Macnet Roster - a virtual "Whos Who" HyperCard stack with more than 750
entries giving the names, addresses, phone numbers, of radio operators
all over the world that are using Macs. Check out their projects and
their passions and put a design on your Mac Radio future when you see
what neat things are being done!

* Mac Ham Radio Software Listing - as the name implies, its "The List" of
the latest - much of it with FTP links so what you see is what you can
get with just a click.

* Ham Radio.FAQ - compiled on a Mac with a lot of links to great Mac FTP
sites for radio, electronic engineering, and similar data.

Neil,

The orange light means that there is no PL active for that channel until
you switch channels, turn the radio off, or press the button again.  If you
have a scan channel, making the orange light appear deactivates PL for
ALL channels scanned.

If you are looking to make one of the buttons produce the 'white noise',
the radios that I have received have come programmed that way, and I had
them reprogrammed to other functions.  I'm not sure of where in the
programmin software you need to go to set this for squelch defeat, but
I will try to find out.

Email me if you don't hear from me in two days.

Hello. I have an Icom BC-35 AC, 120 volt quick charger that I would like
to trade for a 2-meter HT amp. needs to be ran on 4 amps or
less(something like the Power Plus HL-35V), as I only have a 4-amp power
supply. one with a pre-amp would be nice, too. e-mail me with details.

NOTE: the positive contact likes to stick down. I think this is just
because of a bad spring, and is easily put back up by opening the case
and pressing up on the bottom of the contact. in english, don't slap the
pack down too hard, hi hi. this should be an easy thing to fix.

For more details, e-mail me at [e-mail]

Hello Roberto. Have you taken a look at the power supply?  Is is supplying
the correct voltage and current?  What is the P/S voltage when the radio
is not putting out the specified power?

My father, now deceased, bestowed the referenced receiver on me.  He
was W5WSN, Ft. Worth.

While I have interest in amateur radio, I have neither the talent or
inclination to participate.  Computers are really too much for me.

Can anyone tell me if the receiver has value, how much and who would
one sell the unit to?

Help is appreciated.

Yes, at the University we have a good SWR/POWER/TUNER which allow more

Sounds about right.  I do:

Speaker >O--------------------> 3.5mm jack
                /----
Mic     O|------o   ^--#-------> 2.5mm jack ('tip')
        \--------------#-------O 2.5mm jack ('shield')

Seems to work fine.  the ## represents a 2K2 resistor in most cases
although with ICOM I believe a 3K9 is the recommended value if my memory
serves me right!  The resistor is placed between the tip and shield of
the jack plug...although it has been some time since I wired one.  If it
goes to transmit and stays transmitting, move the risistor to the other
side of the switch - closer to the microphone, but I'm pretty sure the
above is OK!

Despite my recharging the NiCad on the HTX202 after a "complete"
drain, the recharged battery seems to work only for about 20 mins.
before the "battery" LCD starts to come on.  Yet my talk-time
doesn't seem to be adversely affected, and receive time goes on for
many days.  Has anyone experienced the "battery" light coming on
prematurely in this rig?

Any info much appreciated.

Wayne:

The 75A-4 uses mechanical filters in the J case.  This is a vertically
mounted cylindrical case about 3" high with 9 pins on the base.  It uses a
common 9-pin miniature tube socker.

Normally the first three digits are the IF frequency - in this case 455
Kc.  The letter indicates the case style and the last two digits are the
bandwidth - this one indicates 2.0 Kcs.

I have seen J case filters in 500 cycles, 2.1 Kc, 3.1 Kc, 4.0 Kc, 6.0 Kc
and 8.0 Kc.

Hope this helps.

A preamp will help bring some signals up -- but generally only those you
can already hear. That is, a slightly noisy signal might become more
readable. The best way to get more range at V/UHF is to get an antenna
up higher, so that your line-of-sight distance is increased. A gain-type
antenna is another worthwhile option, probably better than a preamp.
Gain antennas are available in omnidirectional and directional
configurations, depending on your needs. Lastly, a high-quality feedline
will reduce your system losses dramatically at UHF, alowing more signal
to make it from your antenna to your receiver. RG-58 or similar just
doesn't cut it at all -- with any substantial length of cable, you're
losing more signal in the line than is being delivered to your radio's
inputs.

Good luck!

Another radio you may consider is then one made by ADI...It comes at

Keith:

        Thanks for the info on the TS950SDX Comb filter. I had not seen anything
published on this either. I just noticed it sounded different when
switching between SSB and CW when I had disabled the SSB comb filter. It
also was very noticeable if I tuned through a strong carrier that there was
a deep null.

The DSPFFT software which I run on my PC shows the null very clearly
indeed.

When I first got my 950 I had a few problems (Sub RX noise from main RX
noise blanker) and had a discussion with the UK importer who fax'd Japan
and I got some very useful technical info back from them (after a bit of a
fight with the UK importer who didn't want me to have it). I found out
about all the faults and fixes that they had put in at various stages as
well as fixes to the fixes etc. I thought it was just British companies
that made all of these mistakes by rushing new products out before they
were ready!

There were still a few things that were not cured by the technical notes
and I did a bit of work myself on the FM squelch and also added a method of
inhibiting the PA Bias and Fan when transverting.

There still are some daft features:-

No method of adjusting CW sidetone level from front panel or menu! - Yet I
can adjust the panel lights under a menu control!

No LED to show notch filter is on.

Disappointment:-
Only 1 off 500Hz CW filter can be fitted if both 250Hz filters fitted.

Convert function should have pins that allow external selection of band for
the display change (50, 144, 432 etc). The 'menu' method is hopeless and
clumsy.

The manual leaves a lot of things out, or is ambiguous.
eg CW RX DSP LPF Independent of SSB LPF.

I would have liked a choice of whether to move freq when switching between
CW and SSB or not. Sometimes I preferred the TS430 method where the
frequency moved as well as the display allowing me to listen to an SSB
station and then switch to CW and call him on CW without having to retune
him when I did so.

--
As you will have guessed I use the 950 on VHF and UHF with transverters for
weak signal work mainly. I suppose that a few of these things don't matter
so much on HF.

Oh - I also had to do the following:-
Even though it was bought in the UK for the UK market and also with their
base microphone MC90:-

1750 Hz Move Plug on Display Board (Disables PL) since UK uses 1750Hz
Toneburst.
Increase TONE preset to MAX (Toneburst Deviation)
Increase FM MIC Gain to MAX (FMM)

D17 on DIGITAL BOARD cut (General Coverage TX Modification) so I can
Transvert above 29.70MHz.

Moved Plug for INT/EXT Keyer.(manual was very confusing here)

My first rig was a Heathkit HW-16 and one crystal for the 15 meter
ham band. First antenna was a homebrew rotatable dipole on an old
Alliance tv antenna rotor with a 30 foot push-up mast.
I also homebrewed an antenna tuner.

My total cost was < $100.00 for the whole setup including coax!

Those were the 'good old days' !

My first radio was a Ten Tec Century 21 HF transciever.  This was a solid
state CW only rig that put out about 60 watts.  It had no WARC band
coverage.  The antenna was an 80 meter dipole and later a 15 meter dipole
was added.  All of the antennas I used were home built.  This was back
in 1980

Quite so, Tony.

The real problem is that the IF-10C has become a discontinued part. To find
one you are limited to locating a dealer with old stock or buying one
secondhand at a hamfest. I believe that Kenwood USA had a small run of
IF-10Cs custom-made last year and sold them out, but it might be worth
contacting them in case they plan to do it again. They should.

Combination interface-cables like the MFJ are indeed much cheaper than
Kenwood's IF-232C but they are also dangerously inferior. The reason is
that they do not isolate the TTL-level radio from the PC serial port, while
the Kenwood interface does. So does the homebuilt interface in the 95-96
ARRL Handbooks, which can be built at low cost. (I write from bitter
experience about the lack of isolation, having fried a $200 board in my 850
with transients from the PC serial port.)

Hi Gregg-

You probably mean an R-4A and a T-4XB, I would guess.  Great pair.
First thing to do is order a set of 160, 30, 17, and 12 meter xtals for
them, and you're on all bands at that point.

You mentioned digital options......
There was a digital frequency display made, but not by Drake.  Can't
remember who made it, but I have seen a couple of them at hamfests.
Probably works just fine, but I have never really felt the need.  I use
Drake twins almost all the time on the air, and the frequency readout of
the dial is plenty accurate for anything but SERIOUSLY crowding the band
edge.  And if you keep an eye on the accuracy of your xtal calibrator,
and keep the dial calibrated right, then you can get just about as close
to the band edges as you want, within reason.....

Also, there was an excellent frequency synthesizer made (the FS-4) that
makes the 4 line twins into a continuous coverage rig, covering 500 KC
to 30 MC.  You'd need two of `em to work split.

As far as "internal options", the "A" receiver and the "B" xmtr were
pretty complete, right outta the box.  Except for xtals of your choice,
of course.  The only band that is shown on the front panel bandswitch
that is not ready to run from the factory is 160 meters, and xtals fix
that.

Most of the time in my shack, I use the Drake C Line twins for CW, and
the Drake B Line twins for phone.  I also have Collins S Line gear, but
I use the Drake the most by far.

The Drake C Line twins can be modified with some mod kits from Sherwood
Engineering (in Colorado, I think) but I don't know for sure if there
are Sherwood mods for the A or B series or not.

Those are great units, Gregg.  I think you'll like `em a lot.  Hope you
enjoy yours at least 10% as much as I do mine.....if you do, then you'll
love `em! <g>

73, Tom KJ5IE

Admittedly I've never bought manuals for anything big like a network
analyzer, etc.  Mostly power supplies, scopes, sig gens, etc.  Never
paid more that $100 for paper, $20 for fiche.  Manuals for newer stuff
tend to be more expensive, but I can't afford to buy new stuff for
hobby use anyway.

In particular, the relative attenuation 10m of RG-8 v 30m of Heliax.

I suspect that GB3WH (R2) may have CTCSS access, although I haven't
tried it for a long time.

My 'memory adapters' which are designed for the KWM-380 and HF-380
transceivers will work, I am told, with the 651S1 which I believe has the
same receiver as the transceivers. I am surprised at the 100 Hz step
comment. I would appreciate it if someone would continue this thread as I
have never had a 651S1 and I would have thought that finer steps were
possible.

My memory adapters are designed to give these radios battery backup and
more memories (99) to be accessed via the keypad.

With those parameters, I'd definitly recommend a monobander.  In most
areas, even larger cities, 440 is much quieter.  I use 440 (and 220) a lot
locally, but on the road, I find contacts much easier to come by on 144.
In fact, I surprise people by showing up as an out-of-towener on 220 and
440 repeaters, and few travelers attempt contacts on our local 220 and 440
machines (Raleigh, NC).

You might find the isolated instance where a UHF repeater affords coverage
or features beyond a VHF machine.  The only other advantage I can think of
might be easier resale someday.

Several 2m and a fair few 70cm machines use CTCSS; AFAIK all UK 2m and
70cm repeaters accept 1750Hz tone, but CTCSS is better if you know the
tone freq. The RSGB publish a repeater list for the UK which I believe
includes CTCSS tone details.

We have already started such a project except that it's for EZ Clone

frequencies).

We have a (small but growing) database on the Web at:

10-4 on that manuals are too high from HP!

I ordered some older smaller manuals from HP and the
zerox quality was terrible.  75 pages of bad zerox
copies for over $75.00......??

(And I am a lifelong fan of HP M&TE as well as HP-UX)

They did, to there credit, pay the $3 UPS ground fee :-)

How do we unite and solve his problem..... I can setup an
on-line searchable database for 'virtual libs' and the
costs of obtaining cheap(er) copies.... especially for the
older gear that is beyond the limits of copyright.

I have one on line database for Linux Users Directory services
at works great, and I am happy to create a similar one for
older M&TE manuals if 'the list' thinks it will help.
BTW: http://www.silkroad.com/lds/ is the link to the Linux

All the Best,


Tim

get a standalone plug to which I can solder my own cable.

My Alinco DJ-580 can be programmed to hear or not to hear on the band
that you are not transmitting on. It will receive both bands until you
key up on one and at that time  the other band mutes. I would think that
all GOOD radios would do this.

Does anyone know how to make the DX-70 go down to monitor the 45 meg band,
I understand it will? I take it there is a mod for this.

Hi Kory ...

QST had a very good article about masts of this type within the last
couple years ... recommended reading!

The TV-type pushup masts are only designed for just that - TV antennas,
requiring small (read "light" rotators), and must be guyed every ten
feet, lest they attempt to geometrically resemble a snake trying to walk
erect! I would not recommend them for anything larger than a medium-sized
two meter beam or a small six meter beam (but not both), turned with a
small rotor, like to Phillips U-105! I definitely would **not** put one
up, unguyed (but roof-bracketed at 1/3 of its height above ground, with a
30 pound antenna with ten square feet or so of wind load, -and- a rotator
weighing twenty five pounds, and stand (or live) underneath it!!!

If you want an unguyed tubular mast, look at the U.S. Tower Company
MA-series products ... not gonna be $29.95 at the local R.S. store and
weigh 15 pounds - gonna be half-way to four figures, and weigh several
hundred pounds, and be made out of thick-wall steel tubing! But, it
-will- stay up in a windstorm and it -will- stay straight, and it -is-
designed for exactly what you are proposing to use it for!

It has continous tuning from 1.8 to 30.0 Mhz, handles 3KW PEP, the 3
core 4:1 balun built in will allow 75-660 ohm matching with tuned
feeders,front panel grounding switch, and a bypass switch also. This
information came from one of Dentrons ads in a 1978 publication. Hope
this helps some. I would say it should do very well with a long wire
antenna. I have seen these tuners, and unlike most of todays tuners, it
is very well built with very heavy duty components.

I have removed the face on my Yaesu FT2500 before and if I remember, all
that connects it and the base is a ribbon cable.  Has anyone ever tried
to replace the ribbon cable with a longer adaptation to see if it could
them become a removeable face?

              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.
 Repair service for the  Plectron  P1  and  R700  models  is

Overall best is a very vague criteria. It depends on what weighting
a person gives to each of the factors relevant to the radio. Is a
good user interface important? Is size important? Is receiver performance
important (it better be)?  How about reliability, factory service if
needed, etc?

My ranking of the radios you list is directly in reverse order of
the way you listed them in each category, IE I'd put Yaesu first
and Kenwood dead last in both cases. I don't generally dislike
the Icom models you list, but I don't think they are best values
either, so I'd leave them in the middle.

It's not so much that it has problems, rather it is that it doesn't
perform as well as some top of the line radios in a couple of areas.
It *will* overload on strong signals unless you manually use the
attenuator. And there is a bit of filter blowby inherent in this
sort of design. The latter is only a minor nit, the former can be
a pain. (Though less of one in mobile use because of the inefficient
antennas.)

The FT900 is better in both areas. But then it lags by having
no 6m or 2m capability, and by being much larger and having
a very busy control panel. Those factors offset the defects
of the Icom for mobile use to a great degree. I don't regret
choosing the IC706 for mobile use. It wouldn't be my first
choice for a home station (but then neither would the FT900).

Is this perhaps your first dualbander? This is perfectly normal
behavior for most of the dual band radios I've used, and certainly
no different from the behavior of two separate radios. The secondary
receiver remains active so that you don't miss a call even if you
are talking at the time. This is a good thing.

A couple of dualbanders I've seen have the option to insert
10 db of attenuation into the secondary receiver channel while
you are transmitting. This too can be a good thing, but it isn't
the norm for dualbanders with true dual receive capability.
There are some dualbanders which don't have true dual receive
capability, of course, but I don't consider that an advantage.

  Dennis:
                I have used RG8/u on several cars over the years. Use the
older solid dielectric cable not the foam or 9913 type. The solid
dielectric is very rugged, the only problem is that it is not too
flexible. RF wise it can't be beat, low impedence braided ground,
shielded 12v center, low voltage drop and the last cheap.

But it wouldn't.

If our manuals sold like Danielle Steele's novels we could make it in
volume, but for some reason we aren't selling them in the local B.
Dalton bookstore yet.  :-) :-) :-) :-)

Hi everyone,

I have an Alpha 91B on order which should be here in a couple of months.
I know a person who is selling a 18 months old 89 in MINT condition for
the same price as a new 91B. He only has about 50 hours on the tubes and
keeps it covered all of the time. Still has 2 1/2 year warantee left. The
only drawback is that he is on the east coast, and I am on the west coast.

Which one should I buy?

Thanks,
Kory

I have 6 Plectron tone activated switches for sale.  They were used to
activate fire sirens but could be adapted to whatever.  They operate on
46.46 MHz and use 12 vdc or 120 vac.  Any questions e-mail
[e-mail].

Hi all...

A friend of mine purchased a used tm-241a 2m mobile rig but it didn't
come with any manual... his problem is this... he recently purchased
the decoder for the radio but needs the manual for information.  If
anyone knows where he might get a copy of the manual or even just the
sections that deal with the dtmf information would be greatly
appreciated.  You can e-mail him directly ( he doesn't have access to
newsgroups) at [e-mail] (shown here with his
permission) or you can reply to me at [e-mail] if you
would rather.

Thanks again and
73's

Hello!
  Got a shakey hand?  Can't see those little SMT devices on the pc
 board?  I will mod your radio for you and turn it around in 1-2
 days.  I have been in the 2-way commercial service business for
 10 years, and have done mods here locally for about 5 years at
 different hamfests.  Your radio and a money order for 60.00, and
 I will make the mods, and ship it back to you within 2 days after
 I receive it.  Send me an E-mail for address!


                                    tnx es 73, MIKE KA8WPC

Hello all,

I'm seeking a 1+ Ghz scanning receiver for a project. Do you have
anything sitting around you're not using? Know of any sources? I have
very limited funds available for this. Looking for military surplus,
tube style, pretty much open to anything.

You can email me directly at [e-mail].

Thanks for any info, Kelley.
